Hands down, the best cooking show of all time.

He won’t be able to top this, but I’m hoping his future efforts are better than Feasting on Asphalt.

I love AB. His shows have been so fantastic, educational and entertaining.
Sad to see it end, yippee! for reruns.

I love Good Eats. Even if the subject is some food or drink that does not interest me; the show is always entertaining and informative. I particularly love that "Colonel Sanders" character of his.

I loved the show, the characters, and the story the show told about food, especially why to do certain things. I use multiple recipes and techniques I learned from Good Eats. AB is a talented man.

We learned a lot from AB. Fried chicken? His way. Brining turkey? Who knew? His way.

It wasn’t just what he cooked but the science behind it so you could use it in other recipes and styles.

I still remember his “Haggis” skit. “Eat it or get the back of me hand!” Too funny! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HuixJaAia84

Wonderful show. My favorite episode was the one Alton did about coffee and how to brew it. He said using less coffee and more water is what makes the brew bitter, which is the opposite of what most folks think.

Signed, someone who likes her coffee STRONG. :)

It’s been a long time since I watched FN regularly, but I used to really enjoy Good Eats. I watched it a lot when I decided I needed to expand my cooking repertoire beyond stuff in cans and boxes.

I wonder if Alton will follow in the footsteps of Sara Moulton and Ming Tsai and move over to public television...

The most informative show on Food Network IMO. They need more shows like that and fewer shows where we just watch somebody else eat.

2012 already killed 2 of my favorites shows - Extreme Makeover: Home Edition and now Good Eats...
