The Anniversary Brothers TV Podcast: Good Eats 25th Anniversary

Aaron and Josh Sarnecky are here to talk about Good Eats for its
25th anniversary.


Good Eats is a cooking show created by and starring Alton Brown.
The series premiered on July 7, 1999 on Food Network. The show is
best known for its unique blend of cooking, science, and humor,
described as a cross between Julia Child, Mr. Wizard, and Monty
Python.


After a long hiatus, the series came back as Good Eats: Reloaded,
a revision of old episodes on Cooking Channel. A proper revival
entitled Good Eats: The Return debuted on Food Network. As of
2021, both have ended.


Good Eats is one of Food Network’s most popular and longest
running shows. It won a Peabody Award in 2007.


Aaron and Josh talk about their histories with Good Eats and
cooking shows. They go into the show’s first episode, discussing
the series’ presentation, humor, and science, as well the value
of cooking from scratching. They also touch on the current state
of Food Network and cooking shows.
