Abandoned Good Eats after the disastrous Turkey episode...


Followed the recipe to a T. Turkey came out god awful. So did other recipes. Started watching America's Test Kitchen and wow what a difference. Sure it's simple and mundane but a much better experience. Good Eats would be akin to a home ec or intro kids to cooking type show.

Life is the *beep* that happens while you're waiting for moments that never come.

I hate to say it, but the only person who can possibly be responsible for a turkey being god awful is the person cooking it.. Turkey is about the turkey, and good turkey comes from a well cooked turkey..

if its true OH Alton!

It's not true. I used that recipe and it was awesome!

Sometimes I doubt your commitment to Sparkle Motion!

The problem wasn't with the recipe, the problem with this episode, was that it was a complete rip off of an episode America's Test Kitchen had already done.

plagiarism... what a way to end your show a.b.

If you're talking about "Romancing the Bird", when he brines a turkey before roasting, that is a re-run of his show from November of 1999. America's Test Kitchen first aired in 2001. So who was ripping of whom?

reply

It must be you, I did the brine and cooked the bird just like AB and it was my best turkey I ever made.
