Why do you watch Good Eats?

I also watch Good Eats for the information and the science behind cooking. I love how Alton Brown goes through details, has diagrams and visuals for explaining all kinds of phenomena. His recipes are pretty good too. I tried the baked meatball one and it turned amazing! I also like watching his show (amongst others) for inspiration for my own cooking. Oh, and I do like his silly humor, it keeps me watching for the whole half hour time slot.

I watch it for the puppets and props! Well, that is not entirely true, but I think those things are a big part of what makes Good Eats so interesting. The way that Alton Brown presents information that could otherwise be pretty boring, or deemed irrelavant for a "traditional" cooking show is what makes this show really unique. For example, one of my favorite episodes is the honey episode (and this is where the puppets come in), rather than just showing bunch of recipes made with honey, alton tell you what honey actually is (bee puke), how it's made, and some history and tips for useing it. Then there are some recipes. I must admit, I haven't made many of his recipes. Some are just too drawn out, and long. However there is one....a poached catfish that is a favorite of me and my boyfriend.

I love the food channel, and watch good eats. I find a lot of information out, and find him funny as well. To be a good multi tasker you must be very organized. Write it down, so you can visual see what needs to be done. Than you can do it easier.

I love Alton! I love his dorky way of explaining things, and in my quest to eat healthier, I love finding out about new foods and the best way to prepare things.

I agree, the beauty of his show is the wealth of information he gives the viewers. He is so knowledgeable and it just helps that he is funny too! I DVR every episode. As for trying the recipes, I have to confess that I have only tried the sweet stuff! I have tried the homemade granola bars and energy bars, sweet rolls, and pocket pies among others. They were really delicious :) I keep journals for recipes and travel tips that I see on Good Eats, 30 Minute Meals, $40 a day and Everyday Italian, which are my favorite food network shows. Have a wonderful day!
