I like the fried chicken episode..

10/26/2006 9:00:47 AM

I watched a couple episodes last night. Awesome show. I have one of his books too.

My favorite episode? I dunno. I really like the "waffler" episode.

10/26/2006 10:40:02 AM

Good Eats is the only thing worth watching on the Food Network.

10/26/2006 10:44:48 AM

^ I've been getting into the Bobby Flay show, Throwdown.. Typically I don't like those "competition" food shows but this one is pretty good. And I like some of Bobby Flays other shows.

have you tried the fried chicken recipe? we tried it the other night, and I am not sure 1/8 of an inch of oil is enough, took a long time to cook, and skin was a bit burned by the time we got the chicken cooked through

10/26/2006 12:47:14 PM

the pork episode was the best

10/26/2006 1:17:57 PM

Who ever heard of putting syrup on fried chicken

I didn't really follow his recipe.. I've been eating fried chicken all my life and just cooked it like I used to watch my grandma cook it.. But yea you can burn it if you're not careful. I use just enough oil to cover not quite half of the chicken

10/26/2006 4:58:59 PM

he's talkin bout leeks

10/26/2006 7:09:24 PM

he says "uh" and "um" way too much.

for example: "the, uh, fried chicken is, uh best when fresh, but, uh, it can be enjoyed, uh, cold, uh, the next day, um, too."

10/26/2006 7:52:47 PM

i noticed that too. it shows he is constantly thinking while he's talking.

10/26/2006 7:56:54 PM

He doesn't use a teleprompter. He occasionally does long zoom shots outdoors just to prove it.

He gets a little too close to the camera, and they use a little too much vaseline on the lens. Think softcore porn, but with cooking. The puppets are gay as hell, although I'm told he's not. Go figure.

The most useful episodes for me off the top of my head are the Fried Chicken, the Thanksgiving Turkey, and the Pot Roast episode.

10/26/2006 8:05:44 PM

just watched the sandwich episode and im going to make a Cuban sammich now

10/26/2006 8:10:14 PM

the episode about salts is really interesting as well: http://www.foodnetwork.com/food/show_ea/episode/0,1976,FOOD_9956_32315,00.html

Alton Brown did a book signing a few years ago, I think it was in Raleigh. My mom's still talking about it.
I like his show. I never cook anything, but it's entertaining to watch.

10/26/2006 11:13:06 PM

mmmm leek and potato soup. with fried leek rings

10/26/2006 11:54:05 PM

Vichyssoise...*drools*

The chocolate (ganache) episode is also excellent.

10/26/2006 11:59:52 PM

He had me at "Chicken and Waffles".

I have to make some pocket pies now. I've got tons of leftovers from the last time I did my irish stew.

10/30/2006 7:46:42 PM

When he showed you how to break down a tenderloin and cut filets....

10/30/2006 8:21:23 PM

He's my idol. That is my dream job.

10/30/2006 8:51:13 PM

I always wanted to do a show for Food network where I would travel to colleges and visit local hang outs/restaurants/food festivals.... Or just see how different kids cook Ramen

Cuz I swear more college kids watch that channel than 35+ year olds.

Yeah and the one where he cut up a whole chicken. I went right out and bought a whole chicken and cut that bitch up and threw it all on the grill.. Good Eats for days!

10/31/2006 8:06:10 AM

The best is last summer where I downloaded 6-7 seasons of the show. And watched them. And loved them.

10/31/2006 8:22:23 AM

Good job amber1 for making this thread. I like Alton Brown. He's good on Iron Chef America.

10/31/2006 8:43:03 AM

:ahem:


I told her to make it!!!

10/31/2006 8:52:23 AM

^It was still my idea, I just needed confirmation.

10/31/2006 9:56:38 AM

I like a girl who does what she's told.

I've always thought that Ramen would make the ultimate secret ingredient on Iron Chef. I know someone would try making a Ramen ice cream.

10/31/2006 11:49:19 AM

I would also like to see an Iron Chef battle with Ramen. It'd be interesting to make a dessert out of it. Maybe make some Haystacks, and instead of Lo Mein, they use Ramen.

10/31/2006 11:52:12 AM

Pork chops
