Sad that Good Eats Reloaded/The Return weren't renewed but glad to see you're still creating content. Probably best without studio interference anyway.
Dam, was it a victim of the pandemic? I was super excited for Good Eats Reloaded, so it’s a shame it didn’t get renewed. Studio executives are probably too focused on “reality tv” style food shows rather than actual good informative content.
I agree. Maybe he will finally give us a recipe for homemade ketchup as well. I love the Good Eats mayo and as we've already got recipes for all the other major condiments it only seems right after waiting for so long.
Words to live by: "I trust Alton Brown." I'm 27, back when cable was all we had, watching The Cooking Channel with my mom was the top of my televised satisfaction. Alton/Good Eats was and always will be our favorite. I've attempted cocktail sauce numerous times. It never quite hit the mark. I will be trying this recipe within the coming week.
Every time I'm trying to figure out how to make something I haven't done before, I always google whatever it is with the words "Alton Brown" - never disappoints!
@@CrypticCocktails This is pretty much my recipe. I use the jar horseradish so I leave out the vinegar. My shrimp come already cooked from the Costco bag; I have to defrost them.
Gotta say… that cocktail sauce from the original is now a family favorite. I do use fire roasted tomatoes, but other than that, the same recipe. It only has a few ingredients, and normal kitchens are stocked with most already. Not that this makes me a authority, but we live in Wrightsville Beach, NC… so we eat a LOT of fresh shrimp, and my family actually brought YOUR cocktail sauce to our favorite fried seafood restaurant (Something Fishy) because the in-house stuff didn’t make the cut. I’ll sure try the new one… but you’ve set a high bar for yourself. Thanks for everything over all the years! 🥂
We buy our shrimp from the beach vendor … we live in Mazatlan Mexico … home of the second or first largest shrimp fleet in the world … we love our shrimps
I have always loved watching your show. When my grandson was young he would watch with me when visiting, which was often. If I was not in the room he would yell hurry Gran El Loco is on you'll miss him hurry. He is now serving his country in the Marines. When he visits if you're on we watch. Thank you for doing that show and teaching me and my grandson.
Me too. First time I saw him on QQ during the lockdown of 2020 and I couldn’t help but laugh every time he cussed. 😂 Hearing him drop the F bomb made quarantine worth it 😁😁😁
Crustacean Nation was the first episode of Good Eats I ever saw! I remember watching it after school one afternoon and thinking “this guy is a genius”. 🍤 ❤️
Saw you and Elizabeth in Newport News on Sunday. It was without a doubt the most fun l’ve ever had sober and with my clothes on! Thanks for a fantastic evening!
Was so lucky to catch you in Gret Falls back in November. I am a massive fan of shrimp cocktail and I definitely want to give this a try. Thanks for all the great recipes over the years, Mr. Brown!!
I remember the good eats episode where you made that double decker steamer basket. Watched it with my grandparents because my grandpa loved the show and my mom was too cheap to get cable.
good eats was always my favorite show. Something so damn comforting about Alton teaching me science through food. I was tricked into learning and I loved it. Thanks for everything you do Alton.
I am impatiently patiently waiting for my book! Thank you for calling me onstage. You managed to make me not be overwhelmed up there and by actually making eye contact. Proud to have 3rd place.
I love the new sauce idea. I've always made your version of the shrimp cocktail that called for broiling the shrimp on both sides, though I actually use the grill instead. Interesting that you're steaming them now. I'll have to give that a shot. Thanks for the update!
Struggling to close the "lotus" steamer basket... I felt that. Playing with one of those as a kid and it always getting stuck. I think I'm gonna have to try the cocktail sauce... luckily, I have The Book.
I first started watching Good Eats almost 15 years ago (nearly every episode was available in pirated form on RU-vid at the time, sorry) when I began dating my girlfriend. I didn't know much about cooking then, and I wanted to impress her with a nice dinner when she came over to my apartment. It must have worked because now she's my wife and we have an amazing daughter together.
Alton Brown really turned cooking shows into something fun and entertaining. Now, it's mostly competition. You have to go to RU-vid for good cooking shows
3:28 I’m not a food scientist, but I am an engineer and I have a concern about using hardware store threaded stock. For this application I would use a food grade stainless such as 316. Most hardware stores don’t stock this because it’s very expensive, where they usually stock galvanized steel or 304 stainless. Provided it’s kept clean and rust free, probably doesn’t matter what steel you use, but it was just a slight concern of me. Maybe you can elaborate your thinking behind your design a bit Alton, as I think your tiered steamer basket is very clever :)
Poop chute! I died laughing. I have to remember that one. @altonbrown I had a waiter tell me that the poop, that I showed to him, was just protein!! Protein! I said " no... it's poop. It's waste. It's not meant to be eaten. Haven't the shrimp been cleaned? " He told me he had never heard of that. Lol. I refused to eat anymore shrimp. Disgusting. Wait staff needs to be better informed. Like a lot better.
I love all your stuff. Dare I say better then that Gordon guy?? My turkeys have been delicious for years because of your turkey brine episode of good eats. Thank you for doing all these videos.
Hey well wow. I don't know much about the cocktail sauces. I've always thaw out the frozen shrimp in cold salted water. I never thought of adding sugar to it.. This is very interesting since the last cocktail sauce was quite disappointing. So is steaming better than cooking the shrimp in the oven ? Thanks for tips. I bet yours were so much better than I have ever tasted ❤
Steaming would probably produce a much more moist end product than baking, since it’s cooking in evaporated water it’s able to retain its moisture much better.
