It's not Thanksgiving until... hide show
Is it possible for a food show to have an episode that could be considered a holiday classic? No. At least that's what I thought until seeing "Romancing the Bird" back in '99. This episode exemplifies the humorous-to-hilarious writing that is always a highpoint on "Good Eats" combined with fascinating food-knowledge and amazing recipes. I never miss an episode of "Good Eats" but this particular one has become a holiday tradition for me, it really makes me feel like it's Thanksgiving as much as the "Peanuts" special or the parades. Who can't commiserate with Alton's obnoxious, interfering family, or the confusion that comes when preparing a huge Thanksgiving feast? And, no, you don't have to agree with every one of Alton's occasional anal-retentive food ideas, because they'll usually work with a little of your own tweaking. Besides, as Alton has said, cooking is about experimentation. Plus the recipes are only a third of the show's appeal. "Romancing the Bird", a hugely entertaining holiday tradition.
