Alton Brown Makes Mix-and-Match Salsa | Good Eats | Food Network

[travismachado]

The first Good Eats is what inspired me to start cooking I'm so happy to see the shows back on

[Kataklyzm]

Funny, they have the gag at the end where it's a little too hot for Alton, yet he absolutely killed it on hot ones barely breaking a sweat through everything.

[TheRiffingFatboy]

If you didnt know the red bell pepper is actually a chile

[gimpy]

Alton: Don't think you have a roaster in your home? Think again!

Me: Go on

Alton: Just roast'em on your stove's open flame.

Me: Cries in electric stove.

NEW THUMBNAIL, OLD VIDEO

I’m still grateful though. Best cooking show EVER.

[godlovinpaperclip]

Alton: "There's one of these in every kitchen"
Me: "Ive never seen that thing a day in my life"

[Forevertrue]

One of the best Food network had to offer. Real practical cooking very refreshing. I dropped it years ago. glad to see You tube doing something right for change.

[ferds]

Came for the recipe, stayed for the science lesson, left with knowledge.

"There's one of these in every kitchen"


I literally busted out laughing because I've never seen those outside of this show. And not in any of the kitchens I've worked at either lmao

[blueskellington]

"Chilly, or chilly if you like" got me...glad I was reading the recipe as he said it. Made me chuckle. I'm glad he's 1/2 comedian.

[batmanshousewife]

I've learned so much in just this one 5 min episode than I have my whole life. That's how good Alton is

[JC-ilor]

Or you can roast several on your bbq grill, and freeze 'em for later. Love the smokey flavor in my salsa. glad to see you & Good Eats again!

[plainjane]

Your videos make me so happy. Thank you Alton. 💕

[Bluemilk]

I physically crumble under the nostalgia behind this content. I actually remember my teacher saying "I don't like it, but I bet you'd love it because of how 'sciency' it is." She was right, my 5th grade mind absorbed every _syllable_ this man said. I watched plenty of re-runs, ya know.



BTW, if any of you care she was an amazing teacher as far as I remember. In fact, I only remember two things from that grade. Her commenting on Good Eats, and me making her cry by misbehaving while she was pregnant, and watching half the class comfort her while staring daggers at me. It actually haunts me to this day...

[cajunstix]

When I was a small boy the red pepper is a chili, it's your choice.

[benjamingeiger]

Rumor has it that bell peppers are actually chiles. Too bad AB never addresses the subject.

[cannedmusic]

Yep, that's what it sounds like...putting in...or taking out as my case was. Capsaicin can linger on your fingertips as long as tools and cutting boards.

[ryanfood]

[lifeofasandwich]

Alton Brown, sure is a commissure of great knives. Beautiful cater knife right there.also yummy looking salsa!

[toadsage]

Little known fact: the bell pepper is actually a chili pepper
