** In "Give Peas a Chance," Alton disguises some peas as a hamburger patty, but then also advises against disguising vegetables on general principle, because kids won't go on to eat them regularly if they don't know that they're eating them.

It got to the point that Alton issued a public apology, but what the veteran home brewers often forget is that [[TheWatson the episode was taking the perspective of a first-time home brewer]], and much of the advice Alton gives is also given by brewing shops to entry-level home brewers, so at worst, Alton was guilty of the beer equivalent of LiesToChildren.

Taking inspiration not only from its cooking show predecessors, but from gonzo kids' {{Science Show}}s like ''Series/BeakmansWorld'' and ''Series/BillNyeTheScienceGuy'', ''Good Eats'' blends informative lessons on cooking techniques and ingredients with comedy, chemistry lessons, field trips to factories and labs (''a la'' [[Series/MisterRogersNeighborhood Mister Rogers]]), special guests, and SitCom zaniness.
The show's host, Alton Brown, is also its creator, executive producer, producer, writer, and director. Brown holds degrees in the culinary arts and drama with a specialty in video production. Before becoming a TV chef, he worked as a cinematographer on {{music video}}s, most notably the one for "The One I Love" by Music/{{REM}}.
''Good Eats'' was shot primarily in and around Brown's adopted hometown of Atlanta, Georgia[[note]]Alton was born in UsefulNotes/LosAngeles, California[[/note]], and lasted from July 7, 1999, to February 10, 2012, in its original run along with three hour-long specials, making it the longest-running consecutive series on Creator/FoodNetwork (12 years) at the time. Cooking Channel, Food Network's sister channel, still airs reruns of the show about fifteen to twenty times a week to this day (including at least twice every weekday). A near-total compendium of episode guides and recipes have been compiled into three ''Good Eats'' companion books subtitled ''The Early Years'', ''The Middle Years'' and ''The Later Years''. In 2015, Brown announced that Netflix would be hosting a new ''Good Eats''-like project hosted by him; in 2017, he released a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ovc2Q-zdoyM teaser]] that all but announced that the project would either be a revival of ''Good Eats'' or something very close.
