Alton Brown referral for Marion Laney...ummm yeah

[ideawercs]

As many have heard, Alton is retiring Good Eats. As he said, his decision & what a tremendous body of work it has been since the original pilot episodes. Although I will miss the technical and creative challenges of helping create such a mutually entertaining & educational show on a budget that I would have been hard pressed to shoot a national :30 spot I totally respect his decision to retire the concept at the top of its success.

[ideawercs]

The core Good Eats crew has always been a majority freelance/independent contractor operation and now the same talented group will be even more available to new companies and concepts.Please support the team if you know of anyone who could use their/our creativity and experience.

Say hi to Alton for us.

Are you done shooting season 14?

[ideawercs]

Again, very humbling to see all the views & comments. Any who have posted here know, Alton is an amazing fellow. One cannot pigeonhole him as a chef, writer or artist but maybe as a creator.

I have been with him since the "pilot" episodes on 16mm film. I am not leaving Good Eats (where else can you do creative TV & create TV that has a positive impact on families) but as he says I am freelance & to many companies think I only work for AB . Kind of hard to stay in business like that. ;-))

[LuckyGingerSnaps]

You still work for Alton, Marion? Have you been with him from the beginning? Which episodes were the most fun and which do you never want to speak of again? Lol

[ideawercs]

@LuckyGingerSnaps Yes, still work with Alton and enjoy the education and challenges each day. Hard to pinpoint the most fun but the Hawaii "Down and Out in Paradise" was fun and a technical challenge. My NDA will not let me say which ones were the hardest. LOL

[zekehooper]

I love his since of humor! I miss not haveing the food network anymore....Thank God for you tube!!!!

[Katjaneway]

I'm sure that was his acai berry smoothie that he shows making on Live and Let Diet. That was a really cute scene, Alton is awesome. But seriously... typewriters? lol

[alefeb1]

That's cute!

[badmovebaker]

Lol, the shot at the end made me feel like I was falling. I enjoy him so much.

[MisteroftheThongs]

Kleiner?

[swissferdi]

@MisteroftheThongs Nah, Kleiner speaks a little more nervously...I do love me some Half-Life though. And Alton Brown.

But Half-Life > Alton Brown.

[mufinmanswife]

[ptrlapp]

"He could light a baseball stadium with a flashlight and a cracked mirror if you gave him about fifteen minute." LOL

[TwiPrime]

Fat no more, Alton! Fat. No. More. What was the "nasty" stuff he was drinking???

[tdiver247]

@TwiPrime Looked like the smoothy that he made in his diet episode.

[HawkMcBlade]

XD Okay, we need more bosses like him.

[Daymond42]

Alright, this proves it. Alton is absolutely a class act. That was amazingly awesome that he did this for you. Hope this gets you where you want to go, Marion! :)

[jubbyistootubby]

Alton Brown is pretty much a god. He's totally my hero.

[JesseQuintana]

I like Alton Brown :)!!!

[brooksjedi]

Alton is the inspiration for me folowing what i wanted to do with my life, be a chef. thanks for everything you do!

[ideawercs]

All of us who have been a part of the Good Eats group very much enjoy the stories from those we have had a positive effect upon. Thanks for the note! Marion

[sandn8r9]

@ideawercs Good Eats was also an inspiration for me. Around this time last year, I was extremely depressed, so my doctor recommended that I find some new hobbies to distract myself and fill my time. After watching one episode of Good Eats, I knew that Alton would help me become a great amateur cook. Fast forward one year, and I'm in good spirits, and I have a veritable treasure trove of culinary know-how. Good Eats not only taught me how to cook, it turned my life around. Thanks!

[RayAtheist]

alton is uber cool

[RockabillyRandy]

Alton is the man.

[TheJapanChannelDcom]

[Simplyshort]

Alton Brown is so awesome! 8D

[nanoprobe672]

I'm not sure I would want a recommendation from him, but when it comes to the Food Network, Alton rules the household.

[GrahamCrackerStudios]

Awesome Alton Brown is.

[ZeldaGod25]

alton brown your my cooking hero!

[AcidicA6]

Actually there's many chefs doing the same thing, and Herve This wrote the Molecular Gastronomy book about the science of cooking.

[sg500]

alton brown is like a "Cook-ologist" hes the only guy that tells the science or chemestry about the chemical reactions of the nature of food. What makes him good is that he educates you about the nerdy facts without comming across as boring. Hes a great talent

[SandyCea]

I love Anton, and I love his shows

Marion- Alton and Good Eats (and I guess you!) have been one of my inspirations and the videos I have made. But please...next time you see Alton...tell him to watch my "how to shave" videos! That boy really needs to learn how to take care of himself. :)
