After about six years of touring with his Alton Brown Live-Eat Your Science cooking show and playing a calculating host on shows like Cutthroat Kitchen, Brown apparently has enough in the research tank to dive back into the demanding workload that is Return Of The Eats.
The first run of Good Eats received plenty of critical acclaim, and even scored Alton Brown and others a Peabody award in 2006 for presenting science in such an entertaining and delicious manner.
Brown officially ended the show in 2012 after 250 episodes, citing the need for a break from the hours of extensive research that went into every episode.
