Although Alton Brown spent plenty of time in his mom’s kitchen growing up, his real interest in food sparked in college when he discovered that girls who said "no" to dates sometimes said "yes" if he offered to cook for them. After spending a decade behind the camera in the commercial industry, he headed to culinary school in hopes of one day creating a new kind of cooking show. Good Eats, the show that Brown would go on to write, produce, and host ran for 13 straight years on Food Network before making the jump to Cooking Channel where it airs today. Combining food science, pop culture, skit humor, innovative cooking and the occasional belching puppet, Good Eats has millions of fans and garnered a Peabody award for broadcast excellence.
"Eat Your Science" audiences can expect comedy, talk show antics, multimedia presentations and music, as well as what every cook needs in his kitchen: fire.
