Good Eats: The Return

[Braff Zacklin 13,666]

So this dropped on YouTube the other day. Apparently, AB and Food Network are going to crank out two episodes a week, and they will air Sunday evenings at 9 and 9:30 Central.

Easily my favorite cooking show of all time. Doubt we see Algernop Kreiger reprise his role as The Dungeon Master, though.

I like Alton Brown, but that guy could find a way to make boiling water a 10-step process.

Caught the first episode last night... great throwback, but it's missing some of the energized ridiculousness that the original had. I guess that's to be expected, given how life has moved on.

Nice. Love good eats. Will be tuning in

[Post Oak 20,279]

I've given up on trying to make a good Chicken Parm.  Will definitely give this one a shot

Didn't this happen a year ago? Was the first episode about steak? Was it mostly a rebroadcast of an old episode? Or is this the first completely new Good Eats program?

He did Good Eats: Reloaded last year. It was basically an old episode that he would pop in and voice over a tweak to prior recipe. It was an appetizer (pun intended) to the new Good Eats episodes coming out now. He does make things complicated sometimes, but every recipe of his that I have tried has come out pretty awesome. I am in for the new show.

The thing I like about him is that he explains the why as well as the what and how. I always learn something.

Well, first you have to determine what altitude you are at, then you have to determine not only why you should boil the water, but how the actual thermodynamics of boiling work.

I have some sock puppets, styrofoam balls and a few pipe cleaners to walk you through the process.

. . . and my sister-in-law, who is dressed as a crazed chemist.

Huge fan, gonna try out the chicken parm in the next few weeks.  The chia and quinoa episode didn't do much for me though.

 

Next week is seafood sauces and immersion circulator.

Late notice but an hour-long turkey episode tonight at 7. Says it’s three year-round recipes, not just holidays. Replays at 2 this morining.

also i think he said there are 2 or 3 more episodes running later this year (dec?)

FYI if you have YouTube TV and have Good Eats in your Library, the new turkey episode shows up under “Extras”.

He can over complicate things, but his gumbo and red beans recipes are great and I still use them all the time.  His eggnog is also amazing.

his techniques are fantastic

his recipes are batshit insane sometimes - preserved lemons and brown shugar in your shakshuka? raisins in your pot roast?
