Excellent but underrated film

best movie i've ever seen.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

I credit Good Eats with my immediate addiction to the Food Network. Alton Brown manages to present a wonderful combination of cooking instruction and entertainment. I realize that there is a lot of research put into each show, but he still manages to come across as an amazingly well informed chef, which just puts you in the mood to learn from him! It seems that they realize that unless there is something really different done with a cooking show, it will never really be anything more than another cooking show, and they have really put a lot of effort into the entertainment portion of this show, which often takes the form of outrageously complicated set pieces and skits to illustrate what is happening in the pan while you cook or in your mouth and nose when you're tasting your latest creation. I remember one particular episode where Alton stuck his head up into a giant nose to show how our olfactory senses worked. Not very appetizing, but definitely entertaining, and I can't say I've ever seen anything like that on a cooking show before! The food looks delicious and it's one of those cooking shows that I'll still watch even if I have no intention of ever attempting to cook the dishes he makes. I love cooking, but I watch the show for the entertainment of it, and that says a lot about it, I should think.

If you have come across my reviews before you would know I love watching shows where the host loves what they do. There is no exception here on "Good Eats". Alton Brown makes me interested in cooking. He doesn't just cook; he teaches. He is very interesting and keeps the show entertaining. Many cooking shows do the same old apron in the kitchen and lets cook a roast, but Alton brings history and interesting facts to the table. He has such a vast knowledge of cooking and knows how to address it to the audience in a non-traditional way.Check this show out on the food network. Forget about watching a show about cooking; this show just simply rocks.

I've been watching "Good Eats" since it came on about 5 years ago. Alton Brown and his cast of zany characters makes learning about food and cooking fun. From a food's origins to putting the finished dish on the table, AB strives to make learning about food and its preparation educational, with recipes that are both easy and challenge the way we think about eating. We have tried and enjoyed many of his recipes.The shows are presented with humour, and many of them are sure to become classics. ("Romancing the Bird" being one)

Alton Brown proves you don't need a good attitude for good grub; I love the cynical undercurrent. He shows us how to cook simply rather than demonstrating eight hundred varying ways of boiling an egg. He keeps it low key and educational as he explores the origins of a food. This show gets on most people's nerves, which is probably why I can stand it. Two of the best episodes focus on steak and another on pasta. As far as I'm concerned, these are the most difficult foods to prepare because of the myths behind them. I was amazed to learn all the names to the different kinds of pasta noodles, but rather than confusing me, I felt more educated.
