GOOD NEWS FOR 'GOOD EATS'

Bringing the funny is taking more money these days. The Food Network is in the process of taking all of their programs to HI-DEFINITION format. My favorite program on the network, of all-time actually, is Alton Brown's, 'Good Eats.' You'll learn (and retain) more practical knowledge from this program than from any other on the tube. Period. A gentleman and a scholar, Alton Brown has this to say about the new technology as posted on HIS blog:

"Although our look may have gotten expensive, I assure you our props, sets, costumes, actors, and general mentality are still budget basement. Good Eats is still held together by dental floss, duct tape, peanut butter and brine. We still don’t spend as much per episode as American Idol spends on Paula Abdul’s hair. And unlike much of what goes out on those 315 or so channels that pass for television, Good Eats is hand made…no committees, no corporate spank, and no stinkin’ focus groups. We’re still all about the food, and puppets…and the occasional bad movie rip-off, and food…and strange camera angles, and bad shirts, and food. Why just today, I got run over by a giant meatball. And you know what? In hi-def, it looks really scary." - A.B.
