I'm 78 year old female, & not cooking much anymore. But I love watching Alton Brown; his antics can be goofy, but he imparts useful, intelligent information. Feasting on Waves was excellent; he showed how other cultures live & he genuinely loved & appreciated them. Please keep giving us his shows.

Alton Brown is the only thing I watch on the Food Network, and I love to cook.

He is the best because:
1) His recipes are accessible
2) He gives you the why - i.e. scientific reasons - behind the method
3) He delivers the basics, like how to shop, tips on buying tools, etc.
4) He is just damn fun to watch. He entertains and his background in film allows him to really keep it interesting.

Anyone who says Alton is creepy is a friggin' moron with an IQ below 90.

Anyone who says ANY cooking show on Food Network even comes close to being as great as "Good Eats" doesn't have a brain.

I don't give a damn about age demographics.. I'm 23 and don't want to watch Rachel Ray give everyone salmonella and E-coli (she never washes her hands) or Emerill say BAM again.. or Jamie Oliver pretend he knows how to cook when we all know the British are known for worldwide oppression and NOT culinary ability.

Bottom line is.. the only reason to watch the Food Network now is Alton Brown.. he appeals to those of us with triple-digit IQs.. I know you idiots don't like admitting how dumb you really are.. but it's okay. The world needs you.. how else could we feel superior?

I sure hope A.B. can afford some cosmetic surgery now. That warty-mole thing on his face grosses me out. Certainly not something you want to see before dinner.

I like AB he's my favorite FN host. He's sort of a friend of my brother in law. I haven't got to meet AB yet but would like to.
P.S. He's not creepy, my brother in law says he's a very nice guy, but I didn't have to have him tell me that you can tell just by watching is shows that he's a people person. TTFN AB

my goodness get rid of that fool. He is ugly and annoying, like Bobby Flay, Emeril, Anthony Bourdain,Guywhatever his name is.get rid of all of them no personality at all.

Alton Brown sucks

get rid of that no talented fool. He was an idiot in culinary school and he is still an idiot.

I'm very sad that Emeril Live was discontinued. LOVE his show! Do not like his show of Essence. Why don't you discontinue Anthony Bourdain? He is the most disgusting person to watch. Why would anyone want to watch someone eating a live cobra heart is beyond me!!!
I can just switch the channel when he is on.

Alton Brown, are you listening? Are you out there somewhere? I would like to suggest a theme for a show which I'm sure would interest just about anyone who eats. How do I get in touch? I don't want credit or anything - just info which I'm sure you'd provide in a coherent, logical, understandable, thorough and even clever way. Help me to get in touch!
