i feel bad but i stopped paying attention to alton for a minute once I saw the old lady pour tat bottle of gin into the punch in the back at the beginning
When Alton leaves this network, I won't be watching it anymore. It's become a combination of T&A, stupidity, and appealing to the lowest class of viewer. When shows like Rachael Ray's are considered good TV viewing, it's time to rethink the network's goals. She gives cooks a bad name.
@durandiana As far as AB Leaving, Apparently the reason for the long Hiatus was that AB was filming the first season of his new travel food show, The good eats fan page says that new episodes will begin airing again the first week of October.
@trumbachd1 I don't know where you saw that, but that fan page has too many nutjobs for me. I belonged for a while, but some people there were so insulting and hateful, and the moderators did nothing to stop it. I hope Alton doesn't see that and decide that all his fans are that way.
@durandiana I'm sorry to hear you had such a bad experience, as for the site, they tend to be pretty accurate, at least as far as the scheduling of new eps,
Alton Brown is my fucking hero what an awesome dude. This episode is GREAT by the way, I'll have to upgrade from "Tang and grain alcohol in a garbage can" now.
This is my most favorite episode of Good Eats in recent seasons, even above the recent Spaghetti and Meat Sauce episode, because of the Dune references. Among other things.
BTW, for those of you who don't know, Alton doesn't take a salary for his show, he puts whatever money he would make right back into it. His money comes from sales of books, videos, accessories, and his appearances.
Its still amazing that Food Network has kept this show on. Consider that the network was just getting its grove going when he signed up in 1999 and has since signed on to do at least two more seasons after this one. Of course the real reason I am suprised is that this is the most expensive show that food network has.

@realar i think "many" people is the key part of that sentence.
the *Majority* of adults in the the world , DO in fact both drink and cook with various forms of alcohol.
Also note that he has made a lot of Good Eats that have nothing whatsoever to do with alcohol wich should appeal to Non-Drinkers.
In short, he really has done pretty well over the years in picking topics for both Drinkers and Non-Drinkers alike.

All the money given to him by Food Network to made Good Eats is used for the décor and special effects.
He makes money by selling books, DVD, utensils, and also with his appearences (highly expensive, by the way)
