Mo' Better Eats; 'Mo 'Mazinger Feats

It's the end of an era. After fourteen seasons of slinging sauces 'n' science, hash 'n' history and vignettes au vin, food guru Alton Brown called it quits on his show Good Eats. It was a sad day indeed when the last of the new episodes aired, just over a month ago.

Or was it? Why just a few days ago, the venerable A.B. himself tweeted:

"The only way I'd bring back Good Eats is if there were overwhelming fan demand."

"Any cook can sweat vegetables. Alton Brown's vegetables do Pilates."

(Of course, he added, "And I don't think that's going to happen." But who's to say? Stranger things have come to pass. Like Cupcake Wars. And What Would Brian Boitano Make? And Guy Fieri.)

To show my support / "overwhelming fan demand" for further Eats, I've decided to update an old favorite. Once again in the spirit of 'stay outta mah kitchen, Chuck Norris!' -- and on the heels of:

Good Eats, Amazing Feats! and Better Eats... and Amazinger Feats?

I bring you:
