Season 3, Episode 7 (EA1C07), "American Pickle," roughly 10m45s in. Alton introduces B.A. as "my brother," with the caption "Sinister Sibling" on the screen.
Alton does seem to have an evil twin, though. Season 1, Episode 11, "Pantry Raid 1: Use Your Noodle" features an appearance by "Anti-Alton." Basically the same character, but a different name. -- CrayDrygu 23:26, 1 December 2005 (UTC)
During the "Behind The Eats" episode, he gives no actual answer, saying some things are better left unkown. I'm not sure if this is the same person you're talking about or if it helps, but I thought it might be useful information in some way.-- Daniel Berwick 03:28, 15 June 2007 (UTC)
1. "In each episode, Alton and other actors play various characters to tell the story of the food. For example, in the episode "The Big Chili", Alton played a cowboy trying to rustle up the ideal pot of chili." -- No, only in certain episodes, like The Big Chili or True Grit does AB play a character other than himself. It is usually the "extras" that cycle through many roles.
2. "Each episode of Good Eats begins with an introductory monologue that always either ends with or leads into the phrase "good eats", and the show typically closes with the same phrase. However, in the beginning of the show, Alton always avoids saying "good eats", letting the theme music fill in the phrase." -- No, it was only in about Season 04 where AB stopped saying good eats and instead left his mouth agape, like "so we see it's not only a good idea, it's <pause>" doo doo doo 'Good Eats!'.

Question about the writeup for Koko Karl - it implies that he's appeared in more than one episode, but I only remember him being in one. Should this be rewritten?

I do not see a reference/credit to the (slightly quirky) young lady who plays the Fairy Godmother-type in "Tortillas Again" (I think that was the episode name -- anyway, she beats Alton into realizing that 1 food, Tortillas, can be restored to its original state) and Alton's Great(?)-Grandfather's soon-to-be Wife in the Sweeney Todd parody on (English meat) Pies, as well as appearing in several other episodes.

In the spirit of wp:be bold, I removed the "From The Show" section, which contained two of the "fun facts" given on Good Eats (These facts are usually given going into a commercial break.) I think this is better than expanding the section for two reasons:
Maybe if this comes back, it should do so as its own article? Vslashg 08:37, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
I've removed this from the trivia section, because I really don't know what it means:
The phrase "Allia Cruisine" doesn't appear in a Google search, and with the other misspellings (incorperate, refrence, alton, ignredient), I also checked for "Allia Cuisine", but that phrase doesn't appear anywhere related to Iron Chef.
If this could be clarified so that it's understandable (a link to Allia Cuisine might be enough, if that's something that exists), it should probably go back in. Travisl 06:03, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
The actual phrase is "Allez cuisine!". See Iron Chef FAQ for reference. Willbyr 12:09, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
I was looking at the character section and thought that the "Stuffing is evil sign" may work better under a running gag section. I'm sure there are plenty of other running gags that could be put into a section like this, but I'm drawing a blank right now. I was also trying to figure out who that guy is who plays characters like Death, butchers in some episodes, and other characters in order to put him into the characters section, but I'm not sure who it is.

Under characters>Lactose Man, Alton is mentioned to be Lactose Intollerant, as he did state in 'Good Milk Gone Bad.' However, it was mentioned on this page ( http://www.goodeatsfanpage.com/ABFP/BSReports/Reports1.htm) that Alton was reported to have said that this was "an ugly rumor." Perhaps he was only playing one for dramatic effect? Is there any way to verify this? Alex 02:20, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
why are all of the early seasons red links? if there are no pages for any of them, what's the point? Teh tennisman 00:07, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
Rather than recycling the picture of Alton that's used in his personal article, would it serve this article better to have screencaps (properly tagged, of course) of the show's logo and a shot or two of Alton in action? Willbyr ( talk | contribs) 05:24, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
The formatting of the lists of episodes and their topics didn't come together very well. Would this section be better served by infoboxing? Willbyr ( talk | contribs) 16:21, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
Personally, I'm not keen on the wasted space in the tables by stretching them out to the length of the page, but if everyone wants them that size, then the episode titles should probably be centered to make better use of the space in their sections.

Does anybody have an official source for this information? Something from Food Network, maybe? Without a source, this is just speculation, and could/should be removed from this page. Can somebody, maybe the one who added these episodes, provide a source for this? If not, it will be removed. Lumaga 06:13, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
In all the time I've been watching Good Eats, I have never once associated Marsha with Martha Stewart. Their personalities are completely different, even if they share some minor similarities. Has this association ever been stated by Alton or anyone else associated with the show? Willbyr ( talk | contribs) 17:55, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
Does anyone think the times and days that Good Eats airs in Canada be added? I live in Ottawa, Ontario and I enjoy the show quite a bit. However, I can safely say that it is not on every weekday up here on Food Network. It is 12:59 on Sunday morning here, and it is coming on in 1 minute. Just a suggestion. -- LuigiManiac | Talk 04:59, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

Is it me, or is he starting to use uni-taskers more? In the cubing meat episode, he uses that 48 blade meat tenderizer, in the olive episode he uses an olive pitter, and in the espresso episode he uses a espresso machine without even trying to find other uses for them (except for the olive pitter, where he is made to use one).-- BrianGriffin-FG 21:49, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
I've noticed the same thing. Very out of character. -- BigFatDave 23:05, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
I forgot one. The kabob sticks.-- BrianGriffin-FG 21:08, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
During Behind the Eats, a fact card states that AB's actual kitchen appeared in one episode. The article repeats this, adding that the episode was Give Peas a Chance. This makes sense to me; while the fact was displayed, the music playing in the background was the Exorcist-like melody. However, this was just my deduction based on the clues, and no source is given for that part of the article. Do we have anything to verify that Peas was or was not the episode in question? -- A. 23:01, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
Yes, according to http://www.goodeatsfanpage.com/FAQ/FAQ100s.htm#142. I just added a ref to the article. Wayne Goode 14:30, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
In a number of episodes I have noticed a large (plastic?) cone of pink soft ice cream. Does anyone know why?
I first noticed it sometime in season 5 and just noticed it in the first episode of season 6 (The Other Red Meat) at about the 8 minute mark.

How can he possibly be lactose intolerant, he uses milk a lot -- Gen. S.T. Shrink *Get to the bunker* 01:08, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
I can't fill in the name of the show where he states he is lactose intolerant but in the following interview he states that he is. Thus it does not appear to be something he stated just for dramatic effect for the show: http://www.goodeatsfanpage.com/References/TheInterviews/MyABInterview/ABInterview2.htm —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.59.243.175 ( talk) 00:47, 13 September 2007 (UTC)
I really don't think that he's lactose intolerant because 1) he cooks with milk, cream, cheese, ect. 2) he has said that he enjoys cheese, ice cream, ect. and 3) he has eaten stuff with a dairy as the main ingredent on Feasting on Asphalt. On the other hand, the crew guy named somthing like Lamar is lactose intolerant (a fact that they made fun of on the most recent milk episode). It should be noted that Lamar couldn't enjoy a milky desert that Alton had no problem eating on a Feasting on Asphalt episode. -- BrianGriffin-FG ( talk) 18:51, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
Just because some is lactose intolerant doesn't mean they can't ever have dairy products. There are various OTC medicines that allow people with Lactose intolerance to enjoy dairy products

This article specifically states that Alton's wife/the show's co-executive producer does not appear in any episodes (which assertion has a citation needed tag), but Alton's personal article specifically states that she appeared in the 10th anniversary episode.
