Good Eats	comment	Good Eats is a truly original and groundbreaking approach to the Cooking Show, and an example of what can happen when cable networks have narrow specialties.Hosted by Alton Brownnote Who holds degrees in the culinary arts and drama with a specialty in video production. Before becoming a TV chef, he worked as a cinematographer on music videos, most notably the one for "The One I Love" by R.E.M. — also the show's creator, executive producer, writer, and director — the show took inspiration not only from its cooking show predecessors, but from gonzo kids' Science Shows like Beakman's World and Bill Nye the Science Guy, Good Eats blends informative lessons on cooking techniques and ingredients with comedy, chemistry lessons, field trips to factories and labs (a la Mister Rogers), special guests, and Sitcom zaniness.This combination proved to be a hit and the show became a cultural touchstone during its original run from 1999 to 2012, becoming the longest-running consecutive series on Food Network at the time and still rerunning ad nauseam on cable. Brown released a series of companion cookbooks at this time, including a three-volume compendium of episode guides and recipes subtited The Early Years, The Middle Years, and The Later Years.In 2018, Brown announced that Good Eats would return to the air on the Cooking Channel. To warm the audience up for the new round of shows, he revisited some classic episodes with updated techniques and approaches in Good Eats: Reloaded. The revival, titled Good Eats: The Return ran from 2019 to 2021, with the final season becoming a web-exclusive available only on discovery+. When it concluded, Brown announced that it was the definitive end of all Good Eats-branded programming.Because of the zany, "Edutainment" nature of the show, you will find a lot of tropes not otherwise found on cooking shows. A. Lot.

The show takes on a first-person perspective when Alton teaches the audience how to make breakfast in the Season 13 episode "Man Food II", with the Audience Surrogate being a 32-year-old loser whose mother comes over every morning to make him breakfast (and, as we see at the end of the episode, do his laundry).

Good Eats / int_16fef97b	comment	Binomium ridiculus: Most of the time, this is averted, as the show often gives the actual scientific name of ingredients (e.g. Brassica oleracea for cabbage...and broccoli...and Brussels sprouts...and much else). However, from time to time, a fake name will be given to a manufactured ingredient (e.g. a cheese) or to a highly processed one (e.g. Blackus incanus for sliced black olives in a can).note The actual binomial name of all domestic olives, whatever their color or processing, is Olea europaea. This joke was later carried on to Iron Chef America (of which Alton is the host).

In several episodes, AB mentioned using a mandoline to slice something; Thing promptly showed up holding a mandolin. (Both words are pronounced the same.) Another time, Alton mentioned that the person preparing a dish with peas would "want to hit it with your stick", meaning an immersion or "stick" blender. Thing, naturally, hands Alton an actual stick. In "School of Hard Nogs", Thing steals a small quantity of bourbon that Alton has ready for his egg nog recipe. Several minutes later, Alton sees a soused, hungover Thing. Alton see that Thing has "tied one on". Literally, as Thing as a paper numeral "1" tied onto its index finger.

Good Eats: Reloaded (revisiting old episodes with new footage to fix errors and provide new, better recipes over the old topics) launched in October 2018, and Good Eats: The Return (entirely new episodes, and treated as a continuation of the original) began airing in August 2019. Both subsequently ended in 2020 and 2021 (respectively) when, as stated in Good Eats: The Final Years, Alton decided that the Covid pandemic had made it too difficult to safely shoot another season of either series without taking severe precautions, and he wasn't willing to risk anyone's health for the sake of a show.

Behind him, a little old lady pours a whole bottle of liquor into the bowl and starts handing out cups to everyone (including Alton, who nearly does a Spit Take when he tastes it). Throughout "Sometimes, You Feel Like a..." (nuts), a squirrel constantly appears in the background and steals from whatever nuts AB was discussing or working with when he turned his back. A couple times during "Popover Sometime", Thing is shown to be holding a sign telling the audience what Alton's "secret" recipe actually makes. When the federal agents show up at the meat counter in "The Alton Crown Affair", the butcher in the background is wearing the same mirrored sunglasses as them.

Good Eats / int_35b241c0	comment	Ooh, Me Accent's Slipping: Alton originally had a Southern accent before starting production and dropped it once he started the show. Early on, he'd slip back into it over certain words and statements. Alton tends to slip in and out of a (rather horrible) Scottish accent during the "Ode to a Haggis" scene from "Oat Cuisine". In the episode "Oh My, Meat Pie," Alton's British accent would sometimes break back into his normal speaking, or worse, back into his natural Southern accent. He invokes this at certain points where he wants to put emphasis on something that's Southern tradition, such as when talking about peaches or greens.

Alton specifically says that he prefers to focus on taste and convenience with serving his dishes. He even teased fellow network host Giada de Laurentiis in a Food Network special with "You're one of those people that eats with their eyes, aren't you?" when she insisted on making a nice pretty plate instead of just presenting something in the dish it was baked in. Even so, a lot of the dishes he makes still look mouth-wateringly delicious without any sort of special presentation, One could almost call it the cooking channel equivalent of Hollywood Homely.

"Down and Out in Paradise" has him get stranded on a desert island because his crew deliberately tries to leave him behind on a sinking ship. Another episode, "Tortillas Again", has his crew actively on-strike. "Pop Art", the show's popcorn episode, shows him under a boulder-sized popcorn kernel. Upon the scene ending, the crew goes to lunch without helping him out from under this piece of popcorn.

After some dialogue and an explanationnote Before the Great Famine, a fairly typical Irish dish was boiled bacon with potatoes and cabbage. When destitute immigrants arrived in New York City, they found that bacon was too scarce and expensive, so they replaced it with corned beef, which they purchased from stores owned by their new Jewish neighbors. from Alton's nutritional anthropologist, Deb Duchon, we get the set-up to a corny old-fashioned joke: "A priest, a rabbi, and a nutritional anthropologist walk into a bar..." Then Alton, the priest, and the rabbi all roll their eyes and get up to leave.

In real life, Alton's an only child and so has no brothers, sisters, nieces or nephews. The episode "Chile's Angles" features Debbie Duchon, a nutritional anthropologist in training and supposedly the daughter of recurring nutritional anthropologist Deborah "Deb" Anne Duchon. In real life, Deb had no children (and was reportedly amused when people asked her about her daughter); Debbie was invented because Deb was unavailable for filming.

Nearly every character gets a turn. Even LACTOSE MAN! has it happen to him, in the episode "Say Cheese"note Alton shrugs off a punch from him—causing Lactose Man to hurt his hand in the process—because most of the lactose in aged cheeses (not overly fresh cheeses or process cheeses, however) is consumed in the process, making them safe for even lactose-intolerant people to consume.

Brown began the series because he was frustrated with cooking shows that, while showing the audience what to do in a recipe, never explained why they should do it. This show is his way of fixing that... not that that's a bad thing. Some episodes still count, though, including the ones about using "sustainable" ingredients. One even starts with Alton pointing out that people don't really want to be lectured about their culinary-based obligations to the environment on a show they probably just watch to be entertained. He then proceeds to spend the rest of the episode lecturing the audience about their culinary-based obligations to the environment.

Good Eats / int_4f4372e9	comment	Early-Installment Weirdness: The first four seasons (1999-2001) are quite a bit different from the later ones. They were shot on a completely different set, the same kitchen where the pilots were shot in 1997 (the small kitchen with the white-on-white color scheme, which Alton reveals in a behind-the-scenes special is not his actual kitchen/home). Also, the pilots (which became "Steak Your Claim" and "This Spud's for You") were shot on film, not video. The middle seasons were shot in a then-newly built producer's kitchen/home which had been specially constructed with filming the show in mind. However, neighbors kept complaining about the long train of cars and people used for production, so the back third of the show was shot with studio sets made to look like the home. It's easy to tell that the kitchen and living room are just a set and a matte-finish background if you know what to look for. Brand names were never greeked, and the grocery store segments were shot at a local Kroger instead of at the Whole Foods and Farmer's Market used later on. The first season was almost an entirely different show. BGM was used sparingly, if at all, and there was a lot more emphasis on object lessons and field trips than the zany skits of the later seasons. Also, glitches with location recording were common, leading to a lot of obviously looped dialogue. The on-screen text was also in a Totally Radical late-1990s display font (which Alton absolutely hated), something that went away after that season. He also signed off on the first few episodes by saying "Play with your food", but this went away pretty quickly.

Good Eats / int_670db7d7	comment	Formula-Breaking Episode: Episodes occasionally take on the form of a completely different show. "A Case for Butter" is presented as a courtroom drama. "Scrap Iron Chef" is a combined parody of Junkyard Wars and Iron Chef. The coleslaw episode "Long Arm of the Slaw" was set up like a morning talk show on which AB appears as a guest.note Hilarious in Hindsight, considering Alton's later show, Cutthroat Kitchen, featured competitors sabotaging their opponents. AB did his entire chili show, "The Big Chili", in character as an Old West cowboy... then returned to his kitchen as himself and wondered who had been using it. There was also an episode titled "Mission: Poachable". It's not hard to figure that one out. The tropical food episode was a parody of Cast Away. The two "Water Works" episodes featured no actual cooking, and instead Alton talks about the many facets of water, such as municipal sources, filtration, and the water's chemical attributes. "This Spud's for You, Too" and "Ill Gotten Grains" are Whole Plot References to Stephen King's Misery, with the Loony Fan even resembling Kathy Bates' portrayal of Annie Wilkes. "Frozen Cache" provides strategies on how best to get foods ready for long-term storage in the average home freezer. "American Slicer" focuses on knives, blade preservationnote previously discussed in "Pantry Raid 2: Seeing Red", cutting boards, and common cutting techniques {although he does present a recipe for gazpacho near the end of the epiosde).

Good Eats / int_786bf97f	comment	Real Life Writes the Plot: W's depiction in early episodes as a Virtual Ghost came about because Vicki Eng was out of the country trying to adopt a child, and had to film her appearances in advance. In The Early Years, Alton says we probably won't be seeing Elton anymore because his actor, John Herina, was in college, a football player, and taller than AB, which would undermine his role as The Watson. The Middle Years further elaborates that the college in question was West Point.

Crouch promptly shows up in-character as Marsha and insists that she really is Alton's sister, followed by a woman claiming to be their mother. Then Zoey Brown (Alton's real-life daughter) shows up and addresses them as "Grandma" and "Aunt Marsha", to Alton's annoyance.

In the episode "Pressure", Marsha Brown comes down with the flu, gets a prescription for broth, and asks Alton to prepare it her. In the episode "Gills Gone Wild", a doctor writes Alton a prescription for an expensive statin-type drug, as well as a prescription for salmon. When Alton questions what kind of salmon the doctor wants him to eat, the doctor replies that it doesn't matter. Alton is angered, because the doctor won't let him take a generic version of the medication but doesn't think there's a difference between farmed Atlantic salmon and the many types of wild Pacific salmon.

W has had a bit of an interesting story arc; she started as something of a Virtual Ghost, appearing on giant screens behind Alton and on microwave doors and so forth. Then she becomes real, managing the Bed Bath & Beyond where he shops. Then, apparently, he hires her into his organization, as she only shows up in a "lab" type of environment, testing and evaluating products. And of course, he points out in Behind the Eats that in real life, Vicki knows almost nothing about cooking. She's actually his chiropractor.

After that, members of his cast and staff were quick to jump onto Alton whenever he attempted stuffing or filling a food, which he then had to justify or insist that he only meant "stuffing turkeys was evil". Eventually, he recanted the evilness of stuffing altogether with an episode devoted to finding a safe and flavorful method to stuff turkey, although the phrase has reappeared in a Christmas Episode on a card. It also reappeared in an episode about crown roasts; Alton replied that they'd already proven that stuffing didn't have to be a bad thing, but that in this case, stuffing would be "evil".

He does not abide them in his kitchen, with the sole exception of the fire extinguisher. He'll generally show alternate methods of performing the same task, either with normal kitchen implements, or by MacGyvering a device using parts from the hardware store. If he does use an item that seems like a unitasker, chances are he'll find another use for it, even if it's another show. As evidenced in "The Alton Crown Affair". In searching for an appropriate cooking vessel for crown roast (basically lamb ribs), he stumbles upon a bundt pan, which he sees as the perfect shape and size for his needs. Alton did eventually show a second use for the fire extinguisher— making carbonated ice cream!

Like his preferred tools and implements, this phrase is a multitasker; depending on his manner of saying it and the context, it can range from an expression of supreme frustration to a pained This Is Gonna Suck. This also counts as a Shout-Out, as Alton explained in the commentary from the "A Tale of Two Roasts" DVD: "It couldn't get any easier than this" was one that popped up frequently in the first season. "Walk away. Just—just walk away." Often said when warning the audience not to fiddle with cooking steps that would seem to invite fiddling. "Your patience will be rewarded." "Golden-brown and delicious." "I said it was good, I never said it was _______." ("Fast" or "low-fat" or "good for you", usually.) "But that's another show." Usually said when Alton mentions something off-topic better reserved for its own episode. Sometimes it's been addressed in a previous episode, but more often than not it wasn't made at the time. (The fans kept track.) Lampshaded in the bread pudding episode where he delivers the line, then tells Thing to write it down. The camera pans over to show Thing writing in a gigantic binder labeled "...That's Another Show". Alton remarks "Wow, that's a thick book." Ironically, this was in one of the last episodes to be aired during the original run. As it happened, at least one of those topics would be covered in Good Eats: The Return. In Good Eats: Reloaded, while reviewing past episodes, when past!Alton says this catchphrase, present!Alton often interjects with "Which we've already made!" if the topic is one covered later in original the show's run. "By weight, please." This is to remind viewers that ingredients like flour and sugar must be measured by weight and not volume. It's also to avoid Unit Confusion, as the weight is often given in "ounces", which could be misconstrued as fluid ounces, a measure of volume. Often inverted, where Alton specifies that certain ingredients should be measured by volume instead of weight. Subverted occasionally as well, since Alton will often mention "X cups—or about Y ounces". "Stuffing is evil." This was coined during the Thanksgiving episode "Romancing the Bird" and thrown back in his face repeatedly in future episodes. He eventually relents and has a stuffing episode, titled "Stuff It", where he shows his way to make turkey with stuffing. "Like the hat?" This one was popularized by a YouTube uploader adding a clip of Alton saying this from the first season episode The Egg-Files after a long obnoxious title card at the start of every episode uploaded. "I'm not a doctor, but that HAD to hurt!" comes up a few times, and not always from Alton; Lactose Man uses it after socking one of Alton's crew in the gut. "You know, I'm really sorry we haven't worked out that scratch-and-sniff TV yet." In later seasons, it morphed to "Ahhh, just smell that _____. Oh, I'm sorry, you can't. That was mean." or some variant. "Now go wash those ____y hands!" Used when working with raw meat and poultry, though in the episode "Beet It", he did admonish the viewer to go wash their "beety" hands since beet juice is notorious for causing stains. Especially toward the end: "Of course, I make my ___ from scratch, but I'm a freak, and we all know it." "...(and that's) not good eats." Used sometimes when describing the consequences of a potential cooking mistake.

Good Eats / int_bc6c6c90	comment	Drop-In Character: Alton's annoying TV sister Marsha (in real life, he's an only child), as well as several real-life experts on food science, nutrition, and nutritional anthropology. The experts show up when needed; Marsha just drops in to force Alton to make her cookies, donuts, soup, etc. Alton also plays some of these characters, such as his Evil Twin. One Running Gag is that nutritional anthropologist Deb Duchon will appear out of nowhere whenever her title is mentioned, leading Alton to joke about how he's being stalked ("... she's back there, isn't she?..."). In later episodes, he'll have an obviously negative reaction to saying the title, and in one case hesitates to say it... but she shows up anyway and says it herself. After a while she started to just show up unannounced, and Alton will grumble that he doesn't even have to say it anymore. Alton actually found a gorgeous replacement N.A. in the episode "Sub Standards" with whom he had no problems sharing the screen, only for the incumbent to shuffle her off the show at the end of the scene. In "Hittin' the Sauce", Deb shows up in a grocery store right behind Alton. Irked, Alton states that nobody brought up the words "nutritional anthropologist"; Deb responds...

Sometimes it's been addressed in a previous episode, but more often than not it wasn't made at the time. (The fans kept track.) Lampshaded in the bread pudding episode where he delivers the line, then tells Thing to write it down. The camera pans over to show Thing writing in a gigantic binder labeled "...That's Another Show". Alton remarks "Wow, that's a thick book." Ironically, this was in one of the last episodes to be aired during the original run. As it happened, at least one of those topics would be covered in Good Eats: The Return. In Good Eats: Reloaded, while reviewing past episodes, when past!Alton says this catchphrase, present!Alton often interjects with "Which we've already made!" if the topic is one covered later in original the show's run.

When this speech ends, "Fungal Gourmet" Alton immediately faints, which prompts "Great Balls of Meat" Alton to say: There are quite a few moments that will take jabs at Alton's weight (before he went on a diet and lost it all) and his thinning hair (before he shaved it off). Alton jokes about the opening title card in "Sub Standards", saying that it has "hokey music and lame animation".

Alex Guarnaschelli, one of the frequent judges from Chopped, is featured in "My Shakshuka". Alex even carries her rather harsh food criticisms to Alton's shakshuka dish during the episode's conclusion.

Good Eats / int_ee19d278	comment	Blob Monster: A brief scene from "Flat Is Beautiful" shows, using a Ken and Barbie doll, the potential peril of leaving yeasted pizza dough at room temperature for too long. After leaving his pizza dough at room temp on th counter for 20 hours, Ken wonders where the dough has gone. The dough has grown to such an immense proportion, it consumes Ken from behind. Alton finds this scene hilarious.

Good Eats / int_f23ad6de	comment	Food Porn: Mostly averted, and notable in being one of the only Food Network shows that does. This doesn't mean there aren't plenty of drool-worthy moments, though. Alton specifically says that he prefers to focus on taste and convenience with serving his dishes. He even teased fellow network host Giada de Laurentiis in a Food Network special with "You're one of those people that eats with their eyes, aren't you?" when she insisted on making a nice pretty plate instead of just presenting something in the dish it was baked in. Even so, a lot of the dishes he makes still look mouth-wateringly delicious without any sort of special presentation, One could almost call it the cooking channel equivalent of Hollywood Homely. There are a few times when he plays this straight and mentions small things that can improve how the finished dish would look when presented on the plate, usually with a Hypocrisy Nod following close behind.

In real life, Alton's an only child and so has no brothers, sisters, nieces or nephews.

However, if you pay attention to the label designs it's easy to tell which stores the ingredients are bought from and which brands are used, even with the names changed or blanked out. In earlier season, Alton has specifically mentioned Old Bay seasoning by name in several episodes. Averted in Alton's YouTube-exclusive shorts, in which he often references brands by name since he's not under the same legal constraints.

The sudden appearance of Deb Duchon, the nutritional anthropologist. At first it's a case of Speak of the Devil; later, she starts showing up without prompting (to Alton's annoyance). The Food Police showing up whenever certain raw ingredients are used in a dish (usually raw eggs, though they've also shown up for raw meat and raw milk). Thing presenting Alton with a mandolin whenever Alton mentions using a mandoline to slice something. "...and for repelling home invaders!" when showing off a particularly large/supersized and scary-looking multi-tasker (kebab skewers, knives etc).

Good Eats / int_fd5603b	type	MacGyvering
Good Eats / int_fd5603b	comment	MacGyvering: AB builds such devices as steamers, smokers, and yogurt makers from household items and hardware store purchases... and teaches the viewer how to do the same. Usually he does this not only because it's cheaper, but because every time he starts building one (or is forced to go buy more cookware), he brings up the fact that there's only one unitasker he'll abide in his kitchen, and if you're doing things right you shouldn't have to use it at all—a fire extinguisher. And in the 10th Anniversary special, he uses that in preparing a dish too.note However, the one he used in the show was a CO2 extinguisher, instead of the chemical one always displayed previously. Lampshaded in the gyro episode "My Big, Fat Greek Sandwich", in which he preceded a vision of him constructing an elaborate homemade rotisserie with several pieces of hardware including a small motor by saying "If you want rotisserie at home, we're gonna have to think like MacGyver." Amusingly, he then acknowledges that it's not worth the trouble and explains how to make a gyro loaf in the oven instead. In "Where There's Smoke, There's Fish", Alton muses that MacGyver isn't his patron saint for nothing. That same episode, he uses a cardboard box, two wooden dowels, a hotplate, a small cast-iron pan, and two cooling racks as a makeshift smoking rig. ("Q", a later episode dealing with smoked pork, sees Alton using a large terra-cotta planter instead of cardboard.) In one of the Youtube revival episodes, Alton brings out the cardboard box smoker again. He said that he'd originally come up with the idea mostly as a gimmick for the show and to prove that it could be done, but after trying it found that it worked so well that he now does it all the time for his personal cooking. In later episodes, the music that plays whenever he builds something is clearly influenced by MacGyver's theme. The theme also has a touch of the "build music" from The A-Team. Alton is no stranger to adapting a handheld power drill for use as a high-speed pepper mill. Fiberglass ladder + rope + several inexpensive hardware store supplies = Turkey-frying derrick from "Fry, Turkey, Fry".

For instance: When talking about guacamole in a dip show, Alton tosses his food processor out the window stating that it's too powerful to make good guacamole. Later on in the same show, he needs to blend some livers and turns to his food processor... which he threw out earlier, and hence begins to look sad. Thing brings back the food processor and Alton gets happy.

The boxing puppets named Tender and Flaky introduced in "Crust Never Sleeps" appear in several other episodes. In "Don't be Chicken of Dumplings", they're repurposed to represent Alton's mother and mother-in-law fighting over the correct dumplings to use in a chicken-and-dumpling soup. Let's not forget to mention Alton's frequent use of Ken and Barbie dolls, which have been used to demonstrate the sciences behind pizza, oatmeal, and non-evil stuffing, among other topics.
