I love anything that has to do with science (degree in Biology, minor chemistry, work in cancer research) and I loooooooove food and cooking.

This show sucks ass.

I'm sorry, but this show was much better when it was called Good Eats and it had a guy who knows what he's talking about in Alton Brown!

Good Eats is my favorite show on the Food Network, and this show sucks bigtime!

    It was beyond cheesy. For such a good idea (basically Food Mythbusters) it was a horrible execution.

    the over-the-top acting, and exaggerated facial expressions (like during the spicy food test) kill the show. it's like those shows that little kids put on when they're 8 years old. just bad.


    Alton Brown's show on the other hand is awesome. entertaining, factual, interesting, kick ass food, and not over-the-top in any way.

    I can't wait for "Feasting on Waves". Alton Brown has the best job ever.

    I agree dumb dumb dumb
    Food network is just so blah these days, I hardly watch any of the chefs anymore.

    Throwdown and Tyler Florence are cool shows and I love to watch Giada do just about anything-but the rest are just awful.

    My new favorite TV chef is Hubert Keller

    But Hubert Keller, Daisy cooks, Americas test kitchen, Ming Tsai, Lydia's Italy-all on PBS are soooo much better.

    Yep.
    Alton is the best!

    When does that new show start?
