I also feel like the freakout scene, in a way, shows us how someone can be pushed to their limit, especially when the critic seems to be making a joke of all of it, "You know how hard my staff works? How hard they work to make YOU happy, but then you just fuckin shit all over their shit!"

Oh yes, those are also very important parts of the movie, and I love how he is sharing his passion with his son, like the scene where Percy burns a cubano and goes "So? They aren't paying for it" and Carl has to talk to him about how this is his passion, and how he should be giving it his all.

would use to establish its identity, a scant half a decade later. Like, you know the thing where a YouTuber will open a fridge or a cabinet and talk at you? That was invented by Alton Brown. Part of what made Good Eats so ground breaking was its editing and film making techniques.

It's difficult to explain really how monumental Good Eats was to cooking entertainment. It didn't just bring a focus on the mechanics and science of cooking, but also Alton Brown, whose background was in film, brought film making techniques, which would serve as the foundation cooking youtube
