B. A. -- Brother or Evil Twin?[edit]

Season 3, Episode 7 (EA1C07), "American Pickle," roughly 10m45s in. Alton introduces B.A. as "my brother," with the caption "Sinister Sibling" on the screen.

Alton does seem to have an evil twin, though. Season 1, Episode 11, "Pantry Raid 1: Use Your Noodle" features an appearance by "Anti-Alton." Basically the same character, but a different name. --CrayDrygu 23:26, 1 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

During the "Behind The Eats" episode, he gives no actual answer, saying some things are better left unkown. I'm not sure if this is the same person you're talking about or if it helps, but I thought it might be useful information in some way.--Daniel Berwick 03:28, 15 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Check the DVD release of American Pickle (part of the All-American Greats disc). There's a "Ask Alton" Q&A session where I believe he specifically addresses this question. -- A. 22:52, 17 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Two Glaring Errors[edit]

1. "In each episode, Alton and other actors play various characters to tell the story of the food. For example, in the episode "The Big Chili", Alton played a cowboy trying to rustle up the ideal pot of chili." -- No, only in certain episodes, like The Big Chili or True Grit does AB play a character other than himself. It is usually the "extras" that cycle through many roles.

2. "Each episode of Good Eats begins with an introductory monologue that always either ends with or leads into the phrase "good eats", and the show typically closes with the same phrase. However, in the beginning of the show, Alton always avoids saying "good eats", letting the theme music fill in the phrase." -- No, it was only in about Season 04 where AB stopped saying good eats and instead left his mouth agape, like "so we see it's not only a good idea, it's <pause>" doo doo doo 'Good Eats!'.

  • I think there may be another. I don't think Steve Rooney plays Cocoa Carl/Potato Agent/Santa Claus/Oven Salesman. I have no idea who the actual actor is, but I'm 100% certain it is not Steve Rooney Baryonyx 22:23, 26 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Found that one. Bart Hansard played Carl/Agent/Santa/Salesman. In the new episode, 'House of the Rising Bun', he played Cinna Man. --DarkAudit 17:18, 23 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Question about the writeup for Koko Karl - it implies that he's appeared in more than one episode, but I only remember him being in one. Should this be rewritten? Willbyr (talk | contribs) 16:19, 24 June 2008 (UTC) Nevermind, brain fart. Willbyr (talk | contribs) 13:40, 30 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

1.) Wrong. AB plays Colonel Boatright in several eps, also the lead Government Agent whenever they appear, BA - AB's evil twin, a highly annoying Scotsman, and at least a dozen minor characters. Okay, maybe he doesn't do it in *every* episode, but the statement is true nevertheless.
2.) I'm not so sure about, but I'm pretty sure he also did it at times in the first three seasons. And if you want to be picky, it isn't always AB that 'utters' the phrase. Dmforcier (talk) 17:57, 26 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Cast and Crew[edit]

To whomever added all of the different recurring characters: thanks! However, is it redundant to have the "specialists" paragraph there since all the people mentioned are also in the new section?JD79 21:56, 15 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Added an listing for Widdi in Fictional Characters. Could someone please flesh it out a bit? --DarkAudit 00:15, 26 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Is'nt there a fridge gnome too? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.53.45.215 (talk) 03:41, 13 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I do not see a reference/credit to the (slightly quirky) young lady who plays the Fairy Godmother-type in "Tortillas Again" (I think that was the episode name -- anyway, she beats Alton into realizing that 1 food, Tortillas, can be restored to its original state) and Alton's Great(?)-Grandfather's soon-to-be Wife in the Sweeney Todd parody on (English meat) Pies, as well as appearing in several other episodes. Rdellgenuchi (talk) 07:21, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

From The Show[edit]

In the spirit of wp:be bold, I removed the "From The Show" section, which contained two of the "fun facts" given on Good Eats (These facts are usually given going into a commercial break.) I think this is better than expanding the section for two reasons:

  • Each episode has several of these facts, so this section could grow quite large, and
  • Even if filled out, I don't think a section on food trivia is appropriate in an encyclopedia entry on Good Eats: it's off topic, and the factoids are an incidental part of the show.

Maybe if this comes back, it should do so as its own article? Vslashg 08:37, 8 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Iron Chef Reference; Allia Cuisine[edit]

I've removed this from the trivia section, because I really don't know what it means:

  • After Season 7, Alton Brown tries to incorperate a refrence to "Iron Chef" in each episode, rather it be "Allia Cruisine", opening a tray, and alton screaming the ignredient, wearing a very colorful chef's cap, or voice overing himself very fast as he does on "Iron Chef America"

The phrase "Allia Cruisine" doesn't appear in a Google search, and with the other misspellings (incorperate, refrence, alton, ignredient), I also checked for "Allia Cuisine", but that phrase doesn't appear anywhere related to Iron Chef.

If this could be clarified so that it's understandable (a link to Allia Cuisine might be enough, if that's something that exists), it should probably go back in. Travisl 06:03, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The actual phrase is "Allez cuisine!". See Iron Chef FAQ for reference. Willbyr 12:09, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Further, I dont' think the section makes sense in that "Allez Cuisine" has been the only overt callback to Iron Chef. The other examples are reaching, to put it mildly Lambertman 12:45, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Running Gags[edit]

I was looking at the character section and thought that the "Stuffing is evil sign" may work better under a running gag section. I'm sure there are plenty of other running gags that could be put into a section like this, but I'm drawing a blank right now. I was also trying to figure out who that guy is who plays characters like Death, butchers in some episodes, and other characters in order to put him into the characters section, but I'm not sure who it is. Omex 20:22, 24 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I like this idea. One thing that seems to be a running gag is that the food Alton prepares occasionally is taken away when he's not looking, leaving him puzzled or frustrated. It's infrequent, but I think it occurs enough to bear mention if this section is created. Willbyr (talk | contribs) 05:22, 4 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Where do you even start with a section like this? There's the chicken from Fry Hard, the US Government G-Men that pop in from time to time when Alton plays with raw meat (among other times), Alton's infrequent references to his own mother, throwing things out and retrieving things from the kitchen window, feigning an approach to using the microwave and then not, among others. Also, off this topic, nothing is mentioned about his insistence upon using kosher salt or sea salt, he's the only TV chef I've seen that specifies ingredients to this degree.
I will agree that his insistence upon kosher salt is worth mentioning (possibly with a link to his own brand of salt cellar, however many chefs have also disussed the virtues of different types of salt. (For example, Michael Chiarello never seems to shup up about gray salt.) --JD79 15:39, 4 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I wouldn't consider his use of kosher salt a running gag per se, but it is definitely worth noting, either on this article or on Alton's personal article. Willbyr (talk | contribs) 19:18, 4 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I think we are fogetting how he always makes metaphors such as the Dancing metaphor in the fudge episode. Or how he always does the same metaphor for not picking up meat with a skewer. The one with the bag and water.
Another running gag is the use of hand puppets. In the episode (not 100% on the name) Junkyard Chef a "Dingo" steals his belly. Come to think of it, dog handpuppets steal a lot of his food, much like other characters do. Kiyae (talk) 08:32, 29 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Lactose Intollerant?[edit]

Under characters>Lactose Man, Alton is mentioned to be Lactose Intollerant, as he did state in 'Good Milk Gone Bad.' However, it was mentioned on this page (http://www.goodeatsfanpage.com/ABFP/BSReports/Reports1.htm) that Alton was reported to have said that this was "an ugly rumor." Perhaps he was only playing one for dramatic effect? Is there any way to verify this? Alex 02:20, 4 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Episode Links?[edit]

why are all of the early seasons red links? if there are no pages for any of them, what's the point? Teh tennisman 00:07, 11 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The point? I'd say that there isn't one. Furthermore, what's the point of an "episode guide" that has only titles, and no information about the contents of the episode? In my opinion, this section needs to either be spun off into its own article and expanded upon, as was done for Stargate SG1 for example, or eliminated from the article. As it exists now, I don't see it being at all useful. CrayDrygu 02:09, 11 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
That ones is me Takua X 02:03, 13 July 2006 (UTc)
The reason there were no episode links was the way the episodes were numbered in the List of Good Eats episodes. Each season started over with episode #1. But to make a link you need a unique episode number.
The numbering scheme recently changed (along with a bunch of other stuff) so I've been able to insert some links here, as well as citations in other articles. Dmforcier (talk) 18:03, 26 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Rather than recycling the picture of Alton that's used in his personal article, would it serve this article better to have screencaps (properly tagged, of course) of the show's logo and a shot or two of Alton in action? Willbyr (talk | contribs) 05:24, 4 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I like that idea. It'd better identify the show itself, rather than Alton. Shuckiduck 20:56, 15 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Most TV shows that I've looked at on Wikipedia have the show card as the sole image for the series. That'd be the equivalent of the left hand side of this image [1]. If that's fair use, we should grab it, although a screen cap of the actual show card would be better. Travisl 22:37, 30 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I prefer the screencap over the new edit and addition of the Food Network website image... Better shows what is part of the show. Even with the poor resolution of the screencap, I prefer it. Anyone else? Shuckiduck 13:11, 19 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
This may be a bit bias, but I do prefer the screencap aswell. Corporal Clegg 21:20, 20 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I prefer the screencap as well. Willbyr (talk | contribs) 21:33, 20 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I would as well. EvilHom3r 03:41, 7 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Episodes and topics[edit]

The formatting of the lists of episodes and their topics didn't come together very well. Would this section be better served by infoboxing? Willbyr (talk | contribs) 16:21, 24 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with this, I think it'd look a lot more clean. Shuckiduck 07:27, 25 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I've placed them into "Template:Episode lsit". Be bold and improve on it. Travisl 19:00, 30 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
The tables look good. We DVR Good Eats, and the original air dates of the episodes are given in the info; as I catch them I'll add them to the tables. Willbyr (talk | contribs) 21:23, 30 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Good idea. I've got about 18 of them rattling around on my Tivo, so I'll fill those in, too. Travisl 22:33, 30 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Strange -- I pulled information for 24 episodes off the Tivo, and 14 of them show initial air dates one day earlier than the dates Sphynxdragon pulled off of IMDB. For example, the Tivo shows Grill Seekers as 6 Mar 2001; IMDB shows it as 7 Mar 2001. Other inconsistencies:
  • the Tivo shows Squash Court as 2 Feb 2002; IMDB shows 6 Mar 2002
  • the Tivo shows Fry Hard as 27 Feb 2002; IMDB shows 10 May 2000
  • the Tivo shows Seeing Red as 12 Mar 2001; IMDB shows 7 June 2000
  • the Tivo shows This Spud's For You, Too as 19 Apr 2002; IMDB shows 10 Apr 2002
Travisl 04:51, 31 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I cross referenced those dates with a calendar... I would assume that since the originals have always aired on Wednesdays (save maybe some of the specials), stick with the IMDb information. Most of those dates are Wednesdays as opposed to the Tivo dates. Also, when you look at the Food Network episode numbers, they land closer to the correct season and order with the IMDb dates. As far as I know, the Tivo service gets the episode numbers from the network - maybe there was a snafu somewhere in there. I know with some other shows I watch (i.e., Miami Ink), the episode number is left out altogether. Information has definately been wrong before when I've Tivoed programs. Shuckiduck 09:33, 31 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Tables for episodes[edit]

Personally, I'm not keen on the wasted space in the tables by stretching them out to the length of the page, but if everyone wants them that size, then the episode titles should probably be centered to make better use of the space in their sections. Willbyr (talk | contribs) 14:03, 24 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Upcoming Episodes[edit]

Does anybody have an official source for this information? Something from Food Network, maybe? Without a source, this is just speculation, and could/should be removed from this page. Can somebody, maybe the one who added these episodes, provide a source for this? If not, it will be removed. Lumaga 06:13, 10 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Food Network lists the upcoming episodes: http://www.foodnetwork.com/food/episode_archive/0,1904,FOOD_9956_177,00.html#Series2483 Dav2008 17:58, 31 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Marsha = Martha?[edit]

In all the time I've been watching Good Eats, I have never once associated Marsha with Martha Stewart. Their personalities are completely different, even if they share some minor similarities. Has this association ever been stated by Alton or anyone else associated with the show? Willbyr (talk | contribs) 17:55, 1 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • If you look at this interview with Merrilyn Crouch, the actress who plays Marsha, she says Martha Stewart was not an inspiration for Marsha Brown. ObtuseAngle 22:00, 1 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • In the Thanksgiving episode, Romancing the Bird, her name is given as Marsha Brown-Brady; given Alton's references to Shaft, Network, Starsky & Hutch, and other 70's staples, I'm guessing they had a different inspiration in mind. -- A. 22:47, 17 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • In the book GoodEats 1 The Early Years, there's a character description box for the episode Season 2, Episode 14 Romancing the Bird, which states "Sister Marsha: Martha Stewart wannabe". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.18.181.40 (talk) 21:14, 23 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Canadian Airtimes[edit]

Does anyone think the times and days that Good Eats airs in Canada be added? I live in Ottawa, Ontario and I enjoy the show quite a bit. However, I can safely say that it is not on every weekday up here on Food Network. It is 12:59 on Sunday morning here, and it is coming on in 1 minute. Just a suggestion. --LuigiManiac | Talk 04:59, 25 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

And a good one at that. I tend to forget there are other Food Networks with their own program schedules. I'd say go ahead and add the Canadian information. ObtuseAngle 16:51, 25 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I don't have the schedules for the show, that was kind of how I noticed there were none in the article, because I was looking for them. I have Rogers cable, with a program guide that can look up to a week ahead, so I'll stop being lazy and look through it for when it is on this week, and I'll put the times down below, in EST. Just give me about 10 minutes or so. --LuigiManiac | Talk 18:02, 25 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Here are the times this week in EST for Good Eats in Canada (found using my Rogers Cable Program Guide, in no way official):
  • 1am Sunday the 25th
  • 2am Monday the 26th
  • 9pm Monday the 26th
  • 2am Tuesday the 27th
  • 11:30pm Saturday the 31st
And that's it. Wow, no wonder I keep on missing it. Only once is it on at a decent time. This is original research, so I have to find someplace to back it up, but now I can definitely say it's different up here (in a bad way). Also, the 1am Sunday time was a rerun, as I managed to stay awake to watch it (it was Water Works 2). Once I find a site to back it up, I'll put it in. --LuigiManiac | Talk 18:17, 25 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Alright, this is strange...[edit]

Is anyone else not seeing any of the article below the History section? I can see it in the edit page, but it's not showing up in the actual article. Willbyr (talk | contribs) 16:12, 4 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have the same problem. I can see up to the Awards section that you just added, but that is it. I agree, this is really strange. I haven't seen this happen before, and I have been reading Wikipedia for over a year now. EDIT: I tried clicking on the reference footnote things to see what would happen, and nothing happens except turning the footnote purple (as if I had already been to it before). --LuigiManiac 16:21, 4 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, I checked the old versions of the article, and apparently the article was first cropped in the first version by the anon who added the information on the Peabody Award earlier today. He didn't do anything, because the diff shows that he just added the little mention of the award. Do you think undoing his first edit to the article would do anything? --LuigiManiac 16:44, 4 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I figured it out, he didn't put the </ref> in the code for the reference. I put this in and edited the URL. Willbyr (talk | contribs) 17:16, 4 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Good job. I would have never guessed that something like that could cause a quarter of an article to be cropped. --LuigiManiac 17:21, 4 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Multi-taskers?[edit]

Is it me, or is he starting to use uni-taskers more? In the cubing meat episode, he uses that 48 blade meat tenderizer, in the olive episode he uses an olive pitter, and in the espresso episode he uses a espresso machine without even trying to find other uses for them (except for the olive pitter, where he is made to use one).--BrianGriffin-FG 21:49, 5 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I've noticed the same thing. Very out of character. -- BigFatDave 23:05, 6 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I forgot one. The kabob sticks.--BrianGriffin-FG 21:08, 9 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

not true. He uses the meat tenderizer in other episodes for various things other than meat. EvilHom3r 03:45, 7 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I don't mean the hammer meat-tenderizer, I mean the tenderizer with the needles.--BrianGriffin-FG 22:02, 20 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
He seems to be trading versatility for efficiency in some cases. In the dentist scene in Olive Me, W suggests that the olive pitter can also be a cherry stoner. In other cases, he probably gets away with it because these are for more general applications. Cubed meat can be used for several similar-but-different dishes, and skewering is useful for grilling or fire-roasting foods of any kind. Appliances like yogurt makers, on the other hand, specialize in one dish that average home cooks probably don't make that often. As for the espresso machine, it's also a, uh... hot chocolate machine? -- A. 22:41, 17 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
One unitasker he recommends buying is an espresso machine. I guess that it is technically a multitasker because, in addition to making espresso, it froths milk; however, that's a stretch to say that it is a multitasker--often he means "multi-" in the sense of "several" rather than "more than one." Depaderico (talk) 05:39, 17 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Actual Kitchen[edit]

During Behind the Eats, a fact card states that AB's actual kitchen appeared in one episode. The article repeats this, adding that the episode was Give Peas a Chance. This makes sense to me; while the fact was displayed, the music playing in the background was the Exorcist-like melody. However, this was just my deduction based on the clues, and no source is given for that part of the article. Do we have anything to verify that Peas was or was not the episode in question? -- A. 23:01, 17 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, according to http://www.goodeatsfanpage.com/FAQ/FAQ100s.htm#142. I just added a ref to the article. Wayne Goode 14:30, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Why does a large cone of pink soft ice cream appear in many episondes?[edit]

In a number of episodes I have noticed a large (plastic?) cone of pink soft ice cream. Does anyone know why?

I first noticed it sometime in season 5 and just noticed it in the first episode of season 6 (The Other Red Meat) at about the 8 minute mark.

The answer to this would make a nice entry in the trivia section —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.59.254.100 (talk) 18:34, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Lactose[edit]

How can he possibly be lactose intolerant, he uses milk a lot --Gen. S.T. Shrink *Get to the bunker* 01:08, 12 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

First, where's the citation for AB's lactose intolerance? Presumably it was mentioned in an episode of Good Eats. Second, being lactose intolerant wouldn't preclude his teaching people to cook with dairy ingredients. He doesn't always sample the food he preps on the show... -FeralDruid 01:52, 12 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I can't fill in the name of the show where he states he is lactose intolerant but in the following interview he states that he is. Thus it does not appear to be something he stated just for dramatic effect for the show: http://www.goodeatsfanpage.com/References/TheInterviews/MyABInterview/ABInterview2.htm —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.59.243.175 (talk) 00:47, 13 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Interesting. There's a link up above, in the other section on lactose intolerance, saying he's not lactose intolerant. Curious. It may have been for dramatic effect for the episode. In Feasting on Asphalt 1, he stopped at a road-side milk shake place on Route 66. If he really were lactose intolerant, I can't imagine he'd have stopped and enjoyed a milk shake -- but that's speculation. -FeralDruid 06:48, 13 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I really don't think that he's lactose intolerant because 1) he cooks with milk, cream, cheese, ect. 2) he has said that he enjoys cheese, ice cream, ect. and 3) he has eaten stuff with a dairy as the main ingredent on Feasting on Asphalt. On the other hand, the crew guy named somthing like Lamar is lactose intolerant (a fact that they made fun of on the most recent milk episode). It should be noted that Lamar couldn't enjoy a milky desert that Alton had no problem eating on a Feasting on Asphalt episode. --BrianGriffin-FG (talk) 18:51, 27 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]


Just because some is lactose intolerant doesn't mean they can't ever have dairy products. There are various OTC medicines that allow people with Lactose intolerance to enjoy dairy products

Monty Python References[edit]

Maybe something could be added in regards to Monty Python. As a fan of both, I have DEFINITELY seen some allusions from Good Eats to Flying Circus and other Monty Python creations. Just an idea.65.120.7.97 (talk) 03:56, 16 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not a huge fan of Monty Python (his work is great-it's just too difficult for me to invest in it) so I've never noticed any references. Can you give examples? Where would you add this information? Kiyae (talk) 08:38, 29 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Good Eats contains countless cultural references. If we were to list them all, it'd be nothing but a trivia page. Personally, I don't think it's important, or even desired, to reference them all. -FeralDruid (talk) 16:57, 29 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
A good example of a Monty Python reference is in the Duck episode: the "Why do ducks burn?" sequence was almost directly lifted from the famous Witch skit in "Monty Python and the Holy Grail".24.11.21.161 (talk) 19:27, 14 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comedy as well?[edit]

Is this show stylised as Comedy as well? Ron James 007 (talk) 05:30, 20 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Nah, I don't think its humorous content is enough to justify calling it a comedy. Willbyr (talk | contribs) 11:15, 20 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Alton Announces End of Series[edit]

On May 11, 2001, I updated the article with a reference detailing an announcment by Alton Brown via Twitter, reported by the Chicago Tribune, that Good Eats would end with episode 249. Xin Jing (talk) 17:10, 11 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

DeAnna Brown[edit]

This article specifically states that Alton's wife/the show's co-executive producer does not appear in any episodes (which assertion has a citation needed tag), but Alton's personal article specifically states that she appeared in the 10th anniversary episode. Having only seen a handful of episodes, I don't know which is true, but one of the articles must be inaccurate. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.18.181.40 (talk) 17:31, 13 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
