Good Eats

For fans of cooking shows, there have been a fair number of streaming options lately. Netflix, for example, has most seasons of Anthony Bourdain and Man V. Food, plus less palatable fare (wonk wonk) like Hell’s Kitchen.

But recently Hulu raised the bar with addition of Good Eats.

Alton Brown is the father of the modern cooking show, or at least its nerdy uncle. Half cooking show and half science show, each Good Eats episode focuses on one ingredient and explores it thoroughly. With the help of homemade molecular models, kitschy skits, and a disembodied hand/sous chef, he teaches a handful of recipes and their overarching techniques.

There are only 5 full episodes on Hulu so far, but with 117 additional clips, there’s plenty to watch.
