Alton Crawford Brown (born July 30, 1962) is an American television personality, food show presenter, author, actor, and cinematographer. He is the creator and host of the Food Network television show Good Eats (14 seasons), host of the mini-series Feasting on Asphalt and Feasting on Waves, and host and main commentator on Iron Chef America, Cutthroat Kitchen and Camp Cutthroat. Brown is also the author of several books on food and cooking.
Brown was born July 30, 1962 in Los Angeles, California and spent his youth in Georgia. Brown's father, Alton Brown, Sr., was a media executive in Cleveland, Georgia, owner of radio station WRWH and publisher of the newspaper White County News.
In the late 1980s and early 1990s, Brown was the cinematographer for several music videos, including "The One I Love" by R.E.M..
Brown notes that he was dissatisfied with the quality of cooking shows airing on American television, so he set out to produce his own show. In preparation, he enrolled in the New England Culinary Institute, graduating in 1997. Brown says that he was a poor science student in high school and college, but he focused on the subject to understand the underlying processes of cooking. He is outspoken in his shows about his dislike of single-purpose kitchen utensils and equipment ("unitaskers"), such as garlic presses and margarita machines, although he adapts a few traditionally single-purpose devices, such as rice cookers and melon ballers, into multi-purpose tools.
Good Eats is a former television cooking show, created and hosted by Alton Brown, which aired in North America on Food Network and later Cooking Channel. Likened to television science educators Mr. Wizard and Bill Nye, Brown explores the science and technique behind the cooking, the history of different foods, and the advantages of different kinds of cooking equipment. The show tends to focus on familiar dishes that can easily be made at home, and also features segments on choosing the right appliances, and getting the most out of inexpensive, multi-purpose tools. Each episode of Good Eats has a distinct theme, which is typically an ingredient or a certain cooking technique, but may also be a more general theme such as Thanksgiving. In the tenth anniversary episode, Alton Brown stated that the show was inspired by the idea of combining Julia Child, Mr. Wizard, and Monty Python. On May 11, 2011, Alton Brown announced that the series would come to a close, ending production at episode 249.
This is a list of all Good Eats episodes.
In season 9, the show began broadcasting in 1080i high-definition in addition to standard-definition.
During season 11, Food Network tried to synchronize episodes with seasonal celebrations, changing the airdates of some episodes.

A little busybody told me I was blind
I wouldn't sense the nose on my face
You know I never listen to her good advice
And I resemble the thing she made up
If anyone should ever bring you down
She will and she will and she will
She's Miss Misery
Never the one to interfere
She's Miss Misery
Whenever there's a rumor going 'round and 'round
And 'round and 'round and 'round
You've got to look no further
She said it was her duty as a volunteer
To come to me with this information
She couldn't think of anything she wanted more
Than hitting me with her expectations
If anyone should ever bring you down
She will and she will and she will
She's Miss Misery
Never the one to interfere
She's Miss Misery
Whenever there's a rumor going 'round and 'round
And 'round and 'round and 'round
You've got to look no further
If anyone should ever bring you down
She will
If anyone should ever bring you down
She will and she will and she will
She's Miss Misery
Never the one to interfere
She's Miss Misery
Whenever there's a rumor going 'round and 'round
And 'round and 'round and 'round
'Round and 'round, and 'round and 'round
'Round and 'round, and 'round and 'round
'Round and 'round, and 'round and 'round
'Round and 'round, and 'round and 'round
'Round and 'round, and 'round and 'round
'Round and 'round, and 'round and 'round
