Mr. Brown, my husband and I married in 1999. We watched your show before our first Thanksgiving together. I wrote out the recipe carefully and we made it—it was SO good. 25 years later, we still have that ragged piece of paper carefully saved in a plastic cover in a binder that we still pull out every year when we do the turkey together. It’s become a part of our history. It’s so good to see you back on tv again. You bet we’ll be watching all your episodes! ❤
After 26 years, zero loss of production quality and the perfect amount of entertainment accompanying the culinary education. Thanks for all you and your team do, sir.
I don't think I can adequately describe the enormous grin that welled out of me from seeing the fridge cam again. He's back like he never left, y'all! Hail to the king.
I’m not exaggerating: this made me emotional. Man it’s so great to get a surprise Alton Brown episode. The science. The food. The humor. Astonished to see this level of production value on YouTube. Alton you’ve inspired me for years and this was absolutely spectacular.
My entire life Alton Brown has been the voice telling me I CAN cook. Thanks Alton for all the years of encouragement. Your original turkey episode all those years back still my go to.
You sir, were built for YouTube. You were ahead of your time. You set the standard. I won't say welcome back, because of course you've never really been gone. But it's so good to see you doing your thing unencumbered again. Very looking forward to seeing where you take all of this. And I genuinely hope there's a flurry of collabs with as many of the YouTubers that you yourself inspired as possible!
Alton, I was 15 years old in 1999, in foster care, world was upside and a mess, a fledgling foodie (I later became a chef) and your show, the level of education contained in each episode, it was my church! Still, when young people I’ve worked with or mentored, need some food education, I send them the details of the original Good Eats episodes. Thank you so much for your service and dedication to the culinary work. Love, a girl from Vermont whose culinary education started with you!
Alton, my 24 year old sent me this. We used to watch Good Eats back when he was little and this episode brought it all back, much like a familiar scent often takes you right back to a very specific moment in time. Thank you! You taught me the basics. You were there as we raised our boys. Good Eats made our son the king of dad jokes, puns and obscure references. 😂
Alton, this hit me right in the Good Eats childhood. The science, the jokes, the little chaos in the kitchen… it all felt like sitting down with an old friend again. I’m sure glad you’re back doing cooking shows, the internet is a better place when you’re teaching folks how to cook and why it works.
