What do you think of Alton Brown's career over the years?
Never a an of Alton Brown.
When I think of Alton Brown I think of Good Eats. Not Iron Chef...
Me too
Good eats was awesome
Maybe Netflix will pick it up?
Good eats learned me about cookin
He did a new Good Eats but Discovery put it behind their pay wall streaming service.
I love his Good Eats days - the science behind the food, his "relationship" with his sister, and his rivalry with W. I missed all that.
The food network started out fine but pulled an MTV and turned into mere crap. I Never watch it anymore. There is way more informative cooking shows on UA-cam.
I think you said it perfectly. I used to watch it to learn. I have some British tele shows to recommend because I refuse to pay American sponsors of these shows.
Exactly! Like MTV, it is always seeking to capture the 18 to 32 year old male demographic, at the expense of their other viewers. And, sadly, I'd say most of them are there for drama, not food. The same as MTV, drama, not music.
I couldn't agree more...loved the food channel when it was new...but turned to crap tv...I do the same and find great cooking on You Tube
Right? It seems mainstream cable TV's been WAAAY too cookie cutter for its own good, especially over the past 10 - 15 years. All the moves Food Network's been doing CLEARLY proves that.
You are so correct, it used to be my go too for anything cooking related, if I want games, ill switch to the Games Network
Nothing but game shows. Let’s go back to the days of PBS style cooking shows.
Good Eats was the best,especially around thanksgiving!
I didn't realize Iron Chef America was on Netflix. Gotta go watch now.
Same, girl. Same.
It was almost like when they had contenders try to see if they had what it took to join the Iron Chef group. The last was Stephanie Izard.
Before IRON CHEF AMRRICA there was IRON CHEF USA, William Shatner was the chairman
@@InvisibleAvenger That was a one-time special. When it went to cable TV, they wanted a closer parallel to the original series (Shatner was too known for Priceline then)
I wish network programs Execs were in touch with the fans!
Alton is a talented and clever guy, just ask him!
Lol
I do think he is his favorite topic
hahaha
Had a couple friends work with him in Atlanta years ago. It was the type of unpleasant experience that gets news today.
He seems very unpleasant when you get him on camera interacting with other people. He comes across as dismissive and demeaning.
As much as I never cared for Iron Chef, I did enjoy Good Eats. I loved the backstories and information with the recipes and diverse styles.
Of course he is going to rave up the current iteration of his show. What's he going to say? "it sucks????" I will say Good Eats and all the reloads seemed to have been given a good leaving alone by the network. the episode with his grandmother making biscuits was a true classic.
As some others have commented, "Alton Brown is the Good Eats guy, NOT the Iron Chef guy."
I never cared for "Iron Chef" all that much. But I loved Good Eats. A show about Cooking, Food History, puppets, Science and just basically a seemingly improv show... It was/is glorious.
Alton is wasted in an MC role, IMHO...
Fortunately, I invested in a hardback copy of "Good Eats 4: The Final Years".
Loved the original Iron Chef. The Food Network Iron Chef was pretty good but knowing there is a third version, which Alton Brown and Kirsten are both seasoned cooks/chefs that I've watched for for a long time. They have good personalities, and I would be looking forward to watching one day.
I didn’t know that he left!? 😮
Same here.
Same
He's on YT. He and his wife did a bunch of episodes during quarantine and he talked about why he left. It used to be a weekly thing, but I think he got too busy touring again.
Loved the guy... very intelligent. Food Network lost a big chunk there that's for sure
Am I the only one watching this and thinking everything that's being said they want, they already had with the original Iron Chef?
I love Alton Brown. I loved Good Eats (both the original one and the ones where he commentates over the originals), and Alton' work on Iron Chef America. So I'm not knocking him at all. And I admit not seeing or even knowing there was a new Iron Chef on Netflix.
But They wanted more story behind the meals they chose or the chefs? Original IC had that every episode, going into their background, what cooking means to them, their families and careers.
Wanted to incorporate culture into the food and meals? Original Iron Chef LITERALLY had that! It was built into the show with each Iron Chef being based on a style of cooking. Challengers chose not on popularity (tho I'm sure SOME did), but a great deal based on the style of cooking. Each challengers and Iron Chef OFTEN incorporated unique and special techniques based on the culture and style of cooking chosen.
Wanted the host to eat with the judges? The Chairman/host of the original did just that!
Honestly, this sounds more like a "if it ain't broke, don't fix it." I loved the original way more than ICA. ICA was more a popularity contest on which chef got chosen, etc. The original has a great atmosphere, amazing look and the feel of honor, tradition and respect to everyone involved has never been matched. You don't need to go "bigger/better" to evolve. Sometimes, all you need to do is tweak something. Like how the original added an Iron Chef Italian to the show.
Just my 5 cents. Sorry, no refunds! 😉😁
Is there going to be a new season? So far there is only one out. Seems like it’s been quite awhile since the 1rst season on Netflix.
While it does give the reason Alton left, this video feels like a thinly veiled ad for the netflix Iron Chef.
I only clicked this vid, as I was a longtime AB fanboy-since his little known beginnings and rise with Good Eats...he then became a pretentious A$$, and I just stopped watching anything related with him, like a longtime fav show of mine, since it's original early 90's release into NA culture-IronChef...very happy to hear things seem to be turning in his favour, like embracing a co-host and his netflix career, leaving FN might have been what he needed, I still have a difficult time watching/listening to him...however I'm open to second chances, he deserves that...the lil'theory about FN drama-I am inclined to highly believe that BS, he was sinking with FN, maybe NF is his life boat! :))
I was so sad to hear a bunch of years ago that he's just not a cool or nice guy in the real world. I loved Good Eats; the Mr. Wizard - or, Bill Nye if you're younger - of cooking shows!
When there is famine everyone needs fresh bread everyday I can share the recipe for Mayla Melayu fry in a bowl combined two cups of all-purpose flour 2 teaspoons baking powder 1 teaspoon of salt 1 cup of boiling water you will need a metal fork combining flour salt baking powder and 1 cup of boiling water with a fork you won't be able to combine it all until you turn it out on the counter or on a cutting board and need it into a ball you should place it in the refrigerator for 2 to 4 hours it's best if you place it overnight cut the ball in half and with a rolling pin roll it out about an eighth of an inch then use a biscuit cutter or I use a nescafe coffee jar lid to cut circles once you cut the circles out use your rolling pin and roll the circles out about 2 times the size of a circle in a frying Skillet you're going to need two cups of vegetable oil or frying oil it takes about a minute and a half on each side make sure you turn them and that you don't leave them that you stand there with them they'll turn brown on each side and you can cut them in half and it's real bread inside and they're really good I normally salt them or replace a little bit of cinnamon and sugar on them you can put whatever you like on them they're really good bread you can cut them in half and fill them with lunch meat and whatever you like really you can even make fried pies with that dough if you want to fill the dough and fold the dough over and use the fork to press them down you can make fried pies with them x
I'm glad he's away from the Food Network. They do some underhanded things to those that don't bows down to them. Bravo Alton Brown.
Huh? What about "Good Eats"? That's where I know him from and he is one of my favorites.
Is there going to be an Iron Chef France???😊😊😊
It seems like The Food Network has turned into the Guy Fieri Network. Whenever I turn to see what is on, it is Guy this and Guy that. Enjoyed some of the shows earlier but not so much now.
I rather see Guy than Bobby Flay.
I liked Alton when he had his old show which was witty, funny and self-deprecating. As host of Iron Chef, he showed a more serious side and acted kinda like a dick. He is NOT a chef and should not act superior to the creative people who show their amazing culinary inventions.
Was searching to see if there would be a 2nd season and since it aired in 2022, there has been no news for another season which is sad.
Ty getting my Netflix again now plus I’ll get to watch better feed Phil yeah
Alton's gyatt is HOLY
I didn't even know it Iron Chef moved to Netflix, I thought it just disappeared.
good eats is an epic.
I always wished the host(s) were also able to eat the food, nice the new show does.
I read years ago he made fun of his fans then deleted the post.I did enjoy Good Eats.
I saw it and the show was OK. It will take sometime to adjust to it. Food Network does have a thing with getting rid of older talent. Just as Emeril about his live show that ended in 2002 for younger Bobby Flay. Bobby said BAM!! and Emeril was gone never to return only in those dreaded infomercials pushing cookware on late nite or early morning Cable TV. So Sad!!!!
I’ve always wondered what happened to my favorite show but too bad I think Netflix is a ripoff and I’m not willing to pay the cost of Netflix.
Where is Kevin on the floor?
I agree with Alton Brown. The show needed changes.
I bought the kizer sheepdog g10 %50 off
I enjoyed Alton on Good Eats! It was witty, entertaining, as well as informative. Iron Chef is none of those things. Hated Iron Chef in ALL its iterations. You learn nothing and I don't give one hoot about their "lives". Cook the food, make it good and don't poison anybody. That's ALL a Chef should do, that's their JOB! What "storytelling, its a COOKING CONTEST SHOW PERIOD! It boils down to Netflix was going to pay him MORE money and with a co-host that, of course in this age of DEI/ESG wokeness, HAD to be female and probably of the alphabet soup community and do less for the money than he did before. Just another reason for me to save money and never watch anything on Netflix.
Alton physically may have left recently, but spiritually he left when he dressed up as a Turkey for his Thanksgiving special. Aka Jumped the Fonzie Shark Tank. FN has just spiraled down to another channel skipped over.
This video seems like a commercial for Netflix… and the new Iron Chef hmmm…
Food Competition/Reality TV Lite Network
BS alton had a co host in the frist 4sec of iron chef
He found out that he has no taste?
I loved Food TV when it started. I learned so much from Emeril, Alton, Ina and others. Then it devolved into contests and ridiculousness. I am not a fan. I no longer watch Food Network.
You're mispronouncing his name through the whole video.
It's an AI bot reading a junk script from a content farm.
The only reason is MONEY 🙄🤦
What
The Real Reason Alton Brown Left The Food Network = $$$$
Iron chef is awesome, groceries games….. I watched once … very boring…. Bad move Food Network.
I was not a fan if Alton; never cared for his verbal delivery on anything.
Alton Brown is worth more than the Food Network. Why not go?
AI script?
they've been doing this TTS audio for years
His New Iron Chef was terrible.
I don't know that terrible would be accurate, a let down, No where near the original, and AB/FN didn't help that..FN has Guy tho so, grain of salt...nah you're right the new IC@FN was Terrible! :(...
Let what is dying die with honors. Don't torture us with this crap! He and Guy are gone. Oh too bad indeed.
Do you mean Guy Feiri? He is still doing shows on Food Network.
@@milamberarial Yes Guy had on of the best shows with Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives. Now that show he has is garbage.
Food Network hasn't been worth watching since Emeril bailed.
Yeah right! Watch Season 18 of Worst cooks in America. Then you'll see how much of a great cook, genius, and teacher he is. It's embarrassing and cringe worthy. Good eats is great, but edited and not live.
his cutthroat chef was veri awful. it was lyke an evil alton brown had replaced the good one w/ that evil show.🙃🙃
He was being a "game show host" in his words with "Cutthroat Kitchen"
@@theodorehsu5023 and?
You really should learn how to pronounce his name if you are going to talk about him.
It's a text to speech AI reading bot. It's just junk content from a content farm with minimal human oversight.
Food Network is awful these days, unless you want to watch MAGAT Guy Fieri, Chopped, or some dumb baking championship 24 hours a day!
He didn't leave the food network. This is click bait.!
It's been two years since he's appeared on Food Network in new episodes and not reruns.
He announced leaving in 2022. Hasn't been on since other than reruns.
So he chose to follow the BS American Iron Chef. Where the Iron chef and secret ingredient is chosen and known long before filming. Garbage compared to the original.
They ruined food network and HG tv. All trash shows now
Disagree that two hosts are better than just Alton. She’s awful. The show isn’t that good on Netflix because she brings nothing to it.
Because the Food Network sucks now.
Alton wanted us ALL to vote for Biden, along with him. Does this sound like the “genius” he tries to always portray?
Used to love him, then he went woke 😢
AB became famous for Good Eats, not Iron Chef…the Netflix version of Iron Chef became w0ke and boring. I couldn’t even watch all of episode 1. Alton probably claims to like the new format because he wouldn’t want to bite the hand that feeds him, but I’m guessing he doesn’t want to co-host the show. I will be surprised if it gets renewed.
How so woke?
Alton Brown once pleasured himself in front of me with a sprig of fresh time and a handful of olio
😲
