Good Eats is a television cooking show created and hosted by Alton Brown which
airs in North America on Food Network. Likened to television science educators
Mr. Wizard and Bill Nye, Brown explores the science and technique behind the
cooking, the history of different foods, and the advantages of different kinds
of cooking equipment. The show tends to focus on familiar dishes that can easily
be made at home, and also features segments on choosing the right appliances,
and getting the most out of inexpensive, multi-purpose tools. Each episode of
Good Eats has a distinct theme, which is typically an ingredient or a certain
cooking technique, but may also be a more general theme such as Thanksgiving,
or "man food". In the tenth anniversary episode, Alton Brown stated that the
show was inspired by the idea of combining Julia Child, Mr. Wizard, and Monty
Python. On May 11, 2011, Alton Brown announced that the series would come to
a close, ending production at episode 249.
