Good Eats S6E3P1: The Chokes On You

[SimuLord]

Marilyn Monroe was crowned as Castroville Artichoke Queen in 1948, setting a record that will never be broken as the most beautiful woman ever to set foot in Castroville.

[Itsnameisgundam]

this is like the best cooking show.

[guitargurl37]

[thenosreme007]

Listen to the theme music of "Good Eats" here starting at around 1:05 -- pay attention to the motif -- and then listen to 2Pac's "California Love" at around 1:35...do you hear what I hear?

[Winnjn5]

heck, I just nuke mine in a pyrex covered dish with some water for 8 minutes. Works great.

[cwjalexx]

i love that guy just staring at the camera at 2:40....alton then looks at him and moves his head so he's blocked from the camera view.  after he's done talking that dude is still staring at the camera lol so awkward

[ClamAttack]

anyone else notice that the inside view of the artichoke looks like a dick?

9:24

[Lovelessinhell]

Vegetable bondage

[Lisanab]

Every fruit/veg he talks about should be 'heavy for its size'. That is an expression that drive me batsh!t crazy.

[ncisheadslapper]

why does that blue crab have a hamster wheel?

more importantly, how does it use it?

[whitefire64]

sideways?

[xoiern]

heheheheheheheee

[photohunter87]

The hampster wheel made my day.

[johnnat]

i do not cut the tops off either.

[Hadra568]

am i the only person who doesnt cut the top off?

[PraiseDivineMercy]

My grandmother always just snipped off the tips of the outer leaves.

[Hadra568]

I don't even do that much when I'm cooking them just for myself. If I'm making them for another person I will cut the pointy bits off.

[spotty007]

hehehe boston butt

[khesed]

Darn, i was hoping he would go for 3 cuts. (Say hello to Mr. Owl for me)

[rayandkerri]

I live in Virginia! Too bad for getting fresh artichokes for me, I am exactly across the country from California!

[poker720]

lol i love the night gallery refrence at the begining

[cue1go]

The only problem with Castroville though, is that there's nothing there but artichokes (besides a so-so Texas BBQ place). We stopped there during a road trip this past weekend.

[thetrueblahman]

GOOD EATS!

[LifeisnotFairooBad]

Haha I live near(Kinda 2 hours away, but I travel through there alot, for vacations and stuff) it's a really cool place, but I didn't know it was that famous ^_^ I can get my hands on artichokes picked eh, 30 seconds ago. Pretty cool.
