Got an opinion on one of Alton's episodes of Good Eats? Been to any of the places features on Feasting on Asphalt? Tell us about it here, And as always I bid you Good Eats :D
On the list this week: Adam Lambert, White Collar, Tim & Eric, Pee-wee on Top Chef, and The CW's big TVD "oopsie!"
Do you prefer food preparation or food FIGHTS?
Plus: Donald Glover's standup comedy special, The Walking Dead, and the season finale of How to Make It in America.
This week's America's Got Cable battle showdown will probably stain the carpet.
His humor is lame. It is very painful to watch a complete show. I watch his some of his shows because he has good recipes that can be explained scientifically, he has great technique and has a lot of tricks and shortcuts that are very useful in the kitchen.
Sometimes I have to turn him off and stop watching because he is just not funny and I feel embarrassed for him. Why can't he just explain the recipes and cook and tell a joke now and then. What's up with all the costumes and alter egos. I end up fast forwarding my Tivo to the relevant parts. All the other worthless people he puts on the show does not add anything.
Alton Brown is one of the best,if not the best. He,in half an hour ,will show you,teach you and entertain you. I think you will be very surprised on how thorough he is. He will give you history on the ingredients and/or the entree',the proper cooking and handling,using the proper utensils{which is very important!} tips on serving and that in the end why it is so fun and enjoyable.
He does this all with his comical skits in between. This is a very entertaining and fun display of any kind of " learn how prepare and serve a entree'" program.
If you were to flip throught the channels and stumble upon "Good Eats" for the first time, I am willing to bet you would think you were watching the Discovery Channel and not Food Network. Alton Brown has mixed science and culinary skills into a perfect recipe. With a background in cinematography, Alton teaches how and why food cooks or reacts a certain way. It is such a fresh new approach to the old fashioned cooking show. Now as the host of "Iron Chef America", Alton continues to contribute to the education of people young and old and the "professor of culinary arts".
Alton Brown is host on the food network show, Good Eats and the commentor of Iron Chef America. I often watch his show Good Eat, becuase it is a very great and funny food show. That is basically the only show I watch on the Food Network. I give Alton Brown a two thumbs up.
There's little that can actually be said about Alton Brown - the words don't exist that can transmit the purity of his genius through text. His show, Good Eats, is quite simply one of the most entertaining things on TV, in large part to his affability and skill at communicating relatively complex concepts with cardboard models, simple diagrams, an etch-a-sketch, etc.
Good Eats deserves its own review, but so far as Alton Brown goes, he's one of those people that seems to just effortlessly present a charming persona without it seeming forced or having it grate on the audience. A lot of television chefs can become annoying over time - Emeril, anyone? - but Alton Brown just seems like everyone's special TV friend. I have a friend, and he's on TV! You know the kind of person I'm talking about.
Anyway, Alton's like that. If you took Mike Nelson from Mystery Science Theater 3000, chopped him up, mixed him with a like amount of some excellent cook, then sprinkled the mixture with a spice derived from the desiccated corpse of a mad scientist, then...well, you'd be a murderer and a crazy person. But the end result may wind up being something like Alton Brown.
