Alton Brown Archives

Alton Brown has us concerned- and just the fact that we had to write that is disconcerting The "professor" of Food Network and Cooking Channel… the host/co-host of Good Eats, Cutthroat Kitchen, Quarantine Quitchen, and others… the man who single-handily had the most influence in how I approach cooking for Thanksgiving? Well, it seems like[...]

Alton Brown revisits his Willy Wonka inspired 1999 episode on all things chocolate Apparently Brown dreamed of being Willy Wonka when he was a kid, guess this is as close as he was ever going to get to it I'll be frank, being as busy as I am several jobs and a kid I often[...]

With this week's episode of Cooking Channel's Good Eats: Reloaded, Alton Brown revisits a previous episode to educate us on why stocks are the foundation of all cuisines I just assumed its something you purchase on the shelves of a supermarket or make chicken soup out of I was not completely off, and Brown does[...]

With this week's episode of Cooking Channel's Good Eats: Reloaded, Alton Brown revisits episode 70 and talks about something called "choux paste."

With this week's episode of Good Eats: Reloaded on Cooking Channel, Alton Brown revisits a 2004 episode and guides us on how to pound it out though plastic wrap and water To think: my meat tenderize can be used for cooking instead of nailing things around my house I do agree the flat edge definitely[...]

This week, Alton Brown and Good Eats: Reloaded revisited the 2001 episode about oats and he instantly had my attention Why do you ask? Oatmeal is my #1 go-to for breakfast, it's easy to make, happens to be gluten-free (my obligatory diet of choice) and you can essentially add whatever you want to it to[...]

This week, Alton Brown revisits his Good Eats past once again with "A Chuck for Chuck: The Reload" It appears that the homemakers were not too pleased with his recipe and sent in waves of complaint letters Taking their feedback in stride, Brown tries to redeem himself by perfecting the old recipe and replacing it[...]

In the edited version of episode 83 ("A Cake on Every Plate"), Alton Brown deciphers the mystery of what actually goes inside the delightful and "easy to make" yellow golden cake Now if you are like me and especially if you have children that scream CAKE as if it's instinctual and must be had on[...]

This week, Alton Brown is back with another episode of Cooking Channel's Good Eats: Reloaded to recap on his first truly caffeinated episode Coffee, Coffee, and more Coffee Ok he definitely has my vote, and I'm only 5 minutes into the episode I must disclose for full transparency I'm two episodes into the season and[...]

She loved Alton Brown's nontraditional tactics, comedic anecdotes, and bizarre humor I didn't develop a true love for him (ok, and possibly a little crush) until Cutthroat Kitchen, – which I will confess to having binge-watched at least 62 times Don't even get me started on how hysterical he was on the last season of[...]

If you've been following Bleeding Cool's resident food competition show critic Margo Staten's review of Alton Brown's turn as "anti-mentor" on Worst Cooks in America, then you know food's ultimate academician ran a gamut of emotions over the course of the competition Well, to be fair? Brown pretty much ran the competitors through the emotional[...]

There's never been a better time for comfort food, especially from the likes of the Bon Appetit test kitchen, Binging With Babish, and Alton Brown And each of them have responded to the call with smart and responsible ways to practice social distancing and self-isolation – and still get your chef on.
