Good Eats S1E1P1: Steak Your Claim

[sghost128]

3:00 failed attempt at trying to save an awkward conversation.

[kathlacy]

he was so young!!!

[CannonGoose]

I think I just entered the Meat Dimension.

[hoteliwinshowcases]

LOL, Alton ate the grass. XD

[maptlbh]

2:48 "the other part of the tbone is tender...alot of women like it cuz it's tender. We can't say that kind of stuff now, that woman stuff..."

[lnclincoln]

"The average american eats 11 steaks a year" shit i eat 4 a month

[superchee2e]

Man I have never seen these early episodes, I like it better when he speaks quickly and he assumes we all know what he's talking about. Because I usually do and if I don't. . . Well google is a magical wonderland. It makes me feel smart when I can follow along. Still great

[cathavenfostermom1]

I'm a complete vegan and I'd watch Alton cook veal because I think he's so brilliant!

[goodeats4life21]

I love alton brown like he is my father!!!

[chocbreeze12]

ah, 240p, we meet again

[lanamn14444]

i am super fan of goog eats he inspired me to go into cullinary fied when i grow up go GOOD EATS

[dtp5150]

its funny cuz before he blew up , pppl were like, dude alton, why u such a lunatic. but they like, can u cook me potatoes?

[Linxbolt18]

there are 11 people on this planet who are sheer idiots

[amarah89]

he's about 4 years younger than my mom, and looks 10 years older than she does. what did he start doing over the years? my unofficial theory: ate until he got bloated on feasting on asphalt, then started smoking to shrivel it off. he used to be better than he is now in my opinion. he became less personable, more historic and scientific, and less hands on. he talks much too fast for the information he states to hit home with the average american. fail.

[CaliforniaGuy88]

I remember this episode.

[thelateoscar]

he could take a steer apart and put it back together and it would walk away, and joe es mi tio LMFAO

[djbiggyb]

my face when a cow eats the steak off of his plate

[lozdbzmario]

good eats is like my crack cocain

[Iknow789]

Alton Brown...the Bill Nye of cooking shows. I'll miss Good Eats. :'( Good night, sweet prince.

[epistte]

I just read that Good Eats will end this year. Alton will make a few 1 hour episode but this is the end of the series. I remember seeing this episode and wondering who is this guy. Thank you for the education and the laughs Alton, Shirley, Deb and everyone else involved with the show.

[nodnarbr420]

@epistte This should be the most thumbed up comment in the off chance that Alton stumbles upon this video.

[maptlbh]

@epistte WTF?!?! Screw the food network for all the new crap shows and not airing enuff...

[NobunagasAmbition]

@epistte Well said. I would watch Good Eats over any of the reality crud that has proliferated the food network in recent years.

[DangerPenguin]

Who would of knew from here we would have gotten one of the best cooking shows around? I wish Alton and crew best of luck and onwards to the next project.

[DUFFYISBACK]

cowboy man sounds like hank from king of the hill

[lianesssss]

This is sick. Eating steaks next to cows.

[MixtapeMark26]

@lianesssss

Did you not know where a steak comes from?

[metaldonkey1]

@LonelyiiMasakoaa171 speaking of cows, "Moooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­ooooo!!!!" There we talked to you, go away."

[audry1897]

are the cows not bothered that he is eating their people right next to them

[toaster1971]

Ribeyes in the pan right now.

[svtcontour]

I have learned how to make a proper steak thanks to Alton and my cast iron skillets :)

[DAVEJOSHISSVTSBITCH]

@svtcontour watch out peeps this idiot is a troll and he sheeps people around the net and he has a troll site

[Orb105]

lol!! Are you afraid of the dark reference! HOLLA 90's kids!

[realymail]

gvchk

[Wietting1]

give eme that steak... NOW!!

[Word2031]

@Wietting1 bv hg hggggggggggkkkkkkhgggchg

[f0reverdirt]

Did he call him Allan?

[f0reverdirt]

Holy crap! He's eating steak surrounded by cows! Silence of the cows! 0_O

[NobunagasAmbition]

11 People must work for Emeril

[sugarcaffeine4blood]

Wow he looks so young XD

[darkkunoichininja]

wow he was sexy o.o

[an50331]

lol "we cant say that women stuff"

[MikeTMerciless]

This man saved my life. I learned to cook from him!

[Zarthga]

@MikeTMerciless me too! This show and Cooking With Dog made my a wonderful cook, and I'm only almost 14!

[MikeTMerciless]

@Zarthga That's great! Never hurts to learn how to take care of yourself. It'll save you a ton of money in the long run and you'll be happier than if you had to eat ramen noodles and hot dogs all the time.

[SimuLord]

Some shows take a good long time to find their voice and find an audience. Good Eats, on the other hand, was off and running from Episode One. It shows that Alton really put a lot of thought into his show concept from the earliest planning stage.

[soobwhale]

I am in love with this show. As a science geek, this pleases me greatly.

[testify11l22]

Rewatching Good Eats!!!

[eclipsemp31]

I love watching good eats. let good eats be imortal.

[klined]

He took his dream of having a food show and went all the way with it. PEABODY AWARD WINNER.

[gamemeister27]

Minnesota in January......I live there and let me tell you, -40 is a little bit of overkill.

[patrickwright15]

GOOD OLD ALTON!

[eclipsemp31]

@patrickwright15 TESTAFY!!!!!!!!!

[patrickwright15]

@eclipsemp31 what?

[shadowfarside]

I don't know about you, but I'd rather cook in a messy cluttered kitchen than have ebola any day

[jr8speed]

I 'm watching this episode for one of my homeschool assignments.

[supatavi]

I didn't know loving tender meat made me a girl.

[mark9111111]

these 11 people are dumb!! this is suppose to be 100% thumbs up

[alexandradeufemia]

@mark9111111 : They were probably vegetarians no doubt.

[eclipsemp31]

@alexandradeufemia hahahaha

[Hadra568]

"so much hair, so few chins"

-Alton Brown referring to this episode

[Galactic123]

lol "lotta women like it"

[alexandradeufemia]

@Galactic123 : He's right. I love tender meat.

[Slidetuba]

Alton Brown makes you want to cook.. Not eat..

[fmxr26]

Alton is number 1, but, he would achieve mastery if he could tell us how to turn flank into butter like the Mexican restaurants do in the South West. Boot leather to butter.

[stevensartifacts]

CLOSE THE FUCKING FRIDGE ALTON

[PraiseDivineMercy]

For those who don't have a cast iron skillet, I found that a ceramic baking dish provided excellent results. Sear it in a regular pan first, then put it in the baking dish with olive oil.

[trumbachd1]

@PraiseDivineMercy Gr8 Idea!

[tomh45]

Wow check out that hair!

[venescas]

how the hell does this vid have 11 dislikes?

My guess is that people's hands are slipping when they vote...

[Emontvids]

Alton is the man. I love the way he breaks down everything about the foods we eat and the seasonings we use.

[inuyashaspet]

HAHA the USDA is a f*cking joke. So is the FDA. I don't trust either of them when it comes to blindly purchasing my food

[Messy705]

awesome the first episode

[johnnyrocketfingers3]

its so different from how the show is now. he doesnt present the information himself back then than as he does now. its mostly interviews and less cooking.

[dickclarkfan1]

@johnnyrocketfingers3 Mainly because the first produced episodes of Good Eats was meant for PBS and not Food Network. PBS passed on the project, but Food Network bought it, and the rest is history.

[414myniggaz]

haha this show is cool

[JohnLuckPickard141]

The first of many ingenious works done by Alton Brown. There are three things i really love to do: write mysteries, watch star trek, and cook.

[XXSUPER17XX]

WE ALL LOVE "GOOD EATS"

[Jojoax]

Lol "For our European friends that would be... Oh let them do their own math." that was awesome.

[Rdog6235]

I LOVE THIS SHOW!!!

[startledmonkey]

I LOVE GODD EATS

[olishant]

Wow, so this is the first ever episode...

[jookiyaya]

ROFL he calls him Allan. HAHAHA

[bear75056]

psssst! clean ur ears, u will hear better!! :)

[ReconTwowords]

does he live in atlanta ga? if he does thats rlly cool because i live in dallas GA close to atlanta

[Furiousblue42]

I think He lives somewhere near Alpharetta.

[niceworkmicrosoft]

I think he lives in Marietta

[sharonlemur]

OMG! You're so dilligent in uploading episodes! Thank you so much! I always wanted to see all of the episodes but I didn't want to buy the DVDs ... lol

[asalehpour1]

lol he has more hair and holey shit how do you know this is his kitchen ??

[Rodier1128]

he tells us in a later episode "Behind the Eats"

[sabian1hhx1only]

now who does not like a good rib eye.

[jacobflaschen]

A cow?

[rockymypug]

Although this is currently my favorite cooking show. Its not the all time best. In the 80's we had cajun Justin Wilson, Frugal Gourmet Jeff Smith and Galloping Gourmet Graham Kerr. All 3 of these guys were not only great cooks. They were also very entertaining to watch. Also, a little shout out for Martin Yan.

[dadawg911]

The kitchen here is HIS kitchen that other one isn't his.

[gjack80]

shut the EFF UP

[dadawg911]

lol

[Guiseppe2490]

actually this is the home kitchen of his partners in the Atlanta Georgia area.

The only episode in which his ACTUAL home kitchen was used is entitled "Give Peas a Chance"

[volleyballsisters]

He doesnt have his fancy black fridge in this one :(

[wryguy007]

The best cooking/food show . Ever. Period.

[PotterPotterfreak]

omg this is the first episode!

[heyawhaw]

Alton as a teenager!

XD

[PotterPotterfreak]

oh god he looks young in this one

[shamwow56]

Lol he was in his mid 30s on this one he is 46 now. But his age doesn't show on this does it?

[loborose22]

X3 i noes. he's adorable. it's Baby Alton. X3

[timmyg316]

"Dea groceria store"

[Adol666]

Alton is just plain Awsome. His recipes or at least the way he explains them are very good. Always enjoy his show

[MurdocTheWarden]

Wow, the 1st episode!

[Word2031]

@MurdocTheWarden cooly yo

[yobenezneb2]

So I'm a newby to cooking and especially to cast iron... I tried this steak out, and - moron that I am - assumed I would need to put peanut oil in the pan in addition to what's on the steak. Smoked up my entire apartment before I could sear it for 30 secs on each side and put it in the oven... where it continued to smoke for some time... As a chemist, should have known better than to heat the oil above its smoke point. That said, this was STILL the BEST steak I've ever had - Alton is awesome!!

[jasonmicron]

Yea you will still create a BUNCH of smoke, something I wish Alton would have brought up in the episode.

But yes, the smoke is worth it and as long as you leave the windows open (and FANS on!) it will clear out within 30 minutes.

[StaceyR618]

Where's W? :(

[TheJuggaler]

She's not in the first episodes.

[familyphotoshoot]

early episodes of good eats drinking game:

every time alton says "now" you do a shot.

[colfranz1278]

Yeah, the episode that started all of Good Eats

[koggi242]

hehe the woman bit!

[McFeely2pointoh]

a little thing called government payoffs, slip the inspectors a bit of cash and they give you a perfect grading, thats just how the world works

[robandrene]

yea........and the lotto folks will give you a hint

[ethancv]

peta FTL

[idkofcorse]

whats sp bad about peta???

[ethancv]

They're an ill-informed cult?

They're ridiculous propagandists?

They don't know how to make a good steak?

[gaugeinvariant]

Yeah, peta says we shouldn't eat animals. Well riddle me this peta: If we aren't supposed to eat animals then why are they made out of meat? XD

[Amouthfulofsin220]

incredibly witty indeed...pass the steaksauce!

[Psychochaos3]

65%?

That's a bit much.

[bigdog63129]

That was on a "mythbusters"-type episode. He discovered that it did not hold in moisture but that it still added significant flavor.

[OaklandRaiders81790]

maybe someone can help me: im lookin for the episode where he talks about whether or not "searing" seals in juices. what does he conclude?

[MissReige]

He said searing is important, but not for sealing in juices, because if it sealed in juices, it would also seal out juices.

[teamfat666]

I believe it is the "Myth Smashers" episode where he does the seared vs. non-seared comparision.

[OaklandRaiders81790]

thanks, do u remember wut the verdict on that one was tho?

[teamfat666]

The seared steak lost a higher percentage of weight due to the juices in the surface tissues getting cooked out at high heat.

But the high heat seared browned crust tastes a whole lot better than the lower heat "steamed" beef.

[idkofcorse]

no the seared steak lost less weight, and he said that it did taste better watch it if you wish

[teamfat666]

The non-seared steak lost 13% of total weight during cooking. 307g -> 266g, 41g loss. The seared steak lost 19%, 296g -> 237g, 59g loss.

[AlcoholicMage]

starting at 7:44 Alton says "now" a LOT

[zboishcha]

lol, the kitchen in the sky

[FrostbittenWolf]

I'm bound for Hells Kitchen personally. I wonder if they have enough green onions and Tabasco there...

[ncisheadslapper]

Wow, he actually said the "good eats" in the beginning rather than letting the title thing take care of it. wow... good pilot though.

[AnimeGirlsUSA]

it was a old episode i think :D

[khanhd]

Season 1 Episode 1..very first episode. He didnt not say Good Eats until later seasons.

[DarkSoldier712]

This is one of my all-time favorite episodes, and, around my family at least, the recipe for pan-seared ribeye has become one of my specialty dishes. Alas, I haven't been able to make one in a while...then again, I don't have a working oven or range.

[altonbrownrox123]

i love good eats!

[DoomiteAsh]

I'm surprised no one's mentioned this yet on here. Ya gotta love A.B.'s drawing of "the beef critter." *LOL* Kind of like a Picasso! I wonder if anyone's posted the Romancing The Bird special. (Yes, I know it was on Wednesday night.)

[RyuTheAwesome]

Hehe they had the feds in the first episode.

[amyvb1]

First episode ever, that's awesome!

[I1Dont2Care3]

wow the very first one... :D and kinda sad. eating a steak in front of the cows XD poor guys. lol

[poker720]

3:00 - 3:22 LOL!

[poker720]

i meant to say 3:07 - 3:22

[poker720]

:( im the biggest good eats fan evuh!

someone keeps hacking into me im so sorry for the comment

!

[timmyg316]

"the grocereia store"

[lovelysprinkles]

delicious. makes me want to just bite a cow.

[bcrein]

I couldn't agree more.

[TsunamiWombat]

Also, love the superlong steadycam shot in the supermarket. Very cinematic, ahead of it's time. You see stuff like that in artsy farsty modern movies like "Children of Men"

[TsunamiWombat]

The Production Quality is pretty high for a pilot but you can tell this was their first show because of all the jump cuts. Cuts from talking to hand shake infront of drawing, cut from scary market to butchers line to backroom with no transition. It's not really a glaring error but it weakens the production's value somewhat. In more modern episodes they'de do a pan or a smaller cut in the same location, introduce the butcher, talk about steak then say "lets go into the back room" and then go.

[elementaleel]

Wow... the start of a legend

[Seston]

is this the piliot of episode 1?

[TsunamiWombat]

yes

[wookieproductions]

we cant say that women stuff LOL!

[jcllake]

"they get kind of... err..."

[soraalterego]

Yeah can you stop harping on AB?

[nicktomato7]

The first episode :D

[trammy3]

oh, I just love AB!

[alefeb1]

Whoo hoo the VERY 1st Good Eats! And he actually said "Good Eats"... sweet...

[dsm4gsus]

I think his hat is turned sideways. I wonder if he meant to do that.

[superstickman222]

this is the best cooking show ever

[ShivSilverhawk]

Good eats is the best cooking show ever.

Simple.

[atomicmeatballs]

The show is great, even though Alton doesn't seem as comfortable as he is in later episodes

[ohnoooes]

That's because he was just a baby. First episode of his own show.

[Meashayshay2]

Yeah he was adorable, well still is adorable. It's awesome though xD
