Good Eats

"The best show to learn how to cook and the science of why. "

"This is my all-time favorite #food show. Alton Brown is a genius. He teaches you the science behind the food - what to do and what not to do. The best thing I ever learned from him is that you always want to put some alcoholic beverage in tomato dishes because it causes a chemical reaction that releases more flavor from the tomatoes!"

"I absolutely adore Alton Brown!! He doesn't just tell you how to cook, he explains why! And that has made me not only more adventurous in the kitchen, it makes me far more competent. Never a waste of time and you'll always learn something new.."

"It goes into the science behind food and history, but not in a boring way. Whilst showing you how to cook it. (Bagel episode is my favorite, and it's put in comedy for a reason)"

"I love knowing the why of cooking and this show definitely shows that. Things like how to make the crispiest fried chicken or why crispy fried chicken is better than... I don't know - some other fried chicken. Ha!"

"Probably one of the earlier episodes he did about potatoes. The parody of the Stephen King movie "misery""

"I really enjoyed his earlier show Food Science and his Hot Ones episode was revealing as well with spicy food."

"I think so. I've always loved getting to learn the science behind food. :) "
