cooking this week WEDNESDAY ‘The Return’: Alton Brown revives Food fave ‘Good Eats’ By Michelle Rose TV Media I t was two years ago when Alton Brown announced a reboot of his groundbreaking “Good Eats” series, and the news sent fans (myself included) into a frenzy. We’re about be rewarded for our patience: we’ll all be treated to a double shot of “Good Eats: The Return” when it premieres Sunday, Aug. 25, on Food Net- work. These are the first new epi- sodes of “Good Eats” to hit the airwaves since 2012. At that time, Brown took a break from the series to focus on other projects, including shows such as “Cutthroat Kitchen” and his book, “EveryDayCook.” Evi- dently, the series that launched Brown’s TV career has never been far from his heart (or may- be fans have never let him forget it), because he’s ready to share more food science-y tips and no- fail recipes with viewers. In the premiere episode, Brown makes the compelling ar- gument that Italian food (as we know it) was actually invented in America, not Italy. And since the episode is titled “American Classics X: Chicken Parm,” Brown points to chicken par- mesan as the dish that started it all, with the help of “an Italian canned tomato.” The episode will be fol- lowed by “Every Grain Old Is New Again,” in which Brown explores how ancient American grains (and some of my person- al favorites), such as amaranth, quinoa and chia, are staging a comeback. In the past few years, I’ve become quite a fan of the texture and flavor that these grains can add to side dishes and salads (especially the North African grain freekeh, which is just fun to say). But Brown will go beyond “it just tastes good” by explaining each grain’s versatility and its nutritional content. Plus, you can always count on his tried, tested and true recipes to help you make the most of these new-again old-timers. Since you got me thinking about the past, the original “Good Eats” premiered in 1999 and ran for 13 years. For many, this was the first Food Network series that entertained and educated us. There were no other shows like it. By mixing comedy and history bits, pop culture references, practical tips and perfectly succinct explana- tions — not to mention a few puppets, who doesn’t like pup- pets? — Brown made culinary science more palatable. And in the process, he changed the way we understand and appreciate how good food is made, even at home. While working on “The Return,” Brown also launched “Good Eats: Reloaded” last fall on the Cooking Channel. These were classic “Good Eats” epi- sodes that had been reworked (he likened it to remastering) and updated to reflect how he’d make them today. And for all his efforts, his remastered pilot, “Steak Your Claim” from 1999, received a 2019 James Beard nomination. Imagine what new ideas and good eats he’ll bring to viewers through all-new episodes that begin Sunday, Aug. 25. It’s been a long wait, but wel- come back, “Good Eats.” You were missed. 1:00 p.m. KTNW Martha Bakes (CC) OPB America’s Test Kitchen From Cook’s Illustrated (CC) FOOD The Pioneer Woman (CC) 1:30 p.m. FOOD The Pioneer Woman (CC) 2:00 p.m. FOOD Guy’s Grocery Games (CC) 3:00 p.m. KVEW The Rachael Ray Show (CC) FOOD Guy’s Grocery Games (CC) 4:00 p.m. FOOD Guy’s Grocery Games (CC) 5:00 p.m. FOOD Guy’s Grocery Games (CC) 6:00 p.m. FOOD Guy’s Grocery Games (CC) 7:00 p.m. FOOD Guy’s Grocery Games (CC) 8:00 p.m. FOOD Guy’s Grocery Games (CC) THURSDAY 1:00 p.m. KTNW America’s Test Kitchen From Cook’s Illustrated (CC) OPB tasteMAKERS (CC) FOOD The Pioneer Woman (CC) 1:30 p.m. FOOD The Pioneer Woman (CC) 2:00 p.m. FOOD Beat Bobby Flay (CC) 2:30 p.m. FOOD Beat Bobby Flay (CC) 3:00 p.m. KVEW The Rachael Ray Show (CC) FOOD Beat Bobby Flay (CC) 3:30 p.m. FOOD Beat Bobby Flay (CC) 4:00 p.m. FOOD Beat Bobby Flay (CC) 4:30 p.m. FOOD Beat Bobby Flay (CC) 5:00 p.m. FOOD Beat Bobby Flay (CC) 5:30 p.m. FOOD Beat Bobby Flay (CC) 6:00 p.m. FOOD BBQ Brawl: Flay vs. Symon 7:00 p.m. FOOD BBQ Brawl: Flay vs. Symon 8:00 p.m. FOOD BBQ Brawl: Flay vs. Symon FRIDAY 1:00 p.m. KTNW Steven Raichlen’s Project Fire (CC) OPB Pati’s Mexican Table (CC) FOOD The Pioneer Woman (CC) 1:30 p.m. FOOD The Pioneer Woman (CC) 2:00 p.m. FOOD Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives (CC) 2:30 p.m. FOOD Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives (CC) Alton Brown hosts “Good Eats: The Return” 3:00 p.m. KVEW The Rachael Ray Show (CC) FOOD Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives (CC) 3:30 p.m. FOOD Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives FOOD Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives (CC) 7:30 p.m. FOOD Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives 4:00 p.m. FOOD Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives (CC) (CC) (CC) 4:30 p.m. FOOD Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives (CC) 5:00 p.m. FOOD Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives (CC) 5:30 p.m. FOOD Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives SUNDAY Noon FOOD The Kitchen (CC) 3:00 p.m. FOOD Kitchen Takeover (N) 4:00 p.m. FOOD Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives (CC) (CC) 6:00 p.m. FOOD Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives 5:00 p.m. FOOD Worst Cooks in America (CC) 6:00 p.m. FOOD BBQ Brawl: Flay vs. Symon 6:30 p.m. KVEW Chance of Wine (CC) 7:00 p.m. FOOD Guy’s Grocery Games (CC) 8:00 p.m. FOOD Guy’s Grocery Games (CC) (CC) 6:30 p.m. FOOD Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives (CC) 7:00 p.m. FOOD Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives (CC) 7:30 p.m. FOOD Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives (CC) 8:00 p.m. FOOD Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives (CC) SATURDAY Noon FOOD Trisha’s Southern Kitchen (CC) 12:30 p.m. FOOD Delicious Miss Brown 1:00 p.m. OPB Steven Raichlen’s Project Fire (CC) FOOD Kids Baking Championship (CC) 1:30 p.m. KTNW tasteMAKERS (CC) OPB America’s Test Kitchen From Cook’s Illustrated (CC) 2:00 p.m. OPB Annabel Langbein: The Free Range Cook (CC) FOOD Family Restaurant Rivals 2:30 p.m. OPB Martha Bakes (CC) 3:00 p.m. KTNW America’s Test Kitchen From Cook’s Illustrated (CC) FOOD Supermarket Stakeout 3:30 p.m. KTNW Food Over 50 (CC) 4:00 p.m. FOOD The Flay List 4:30 p.m. FOOD Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives (CC) 5:00 p.m. FOOD Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives (CC) 5:30 p.m. FOOD Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives (CC) 6:00 p.m. OPB The Great British Baking Show (CC) FOOD Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives (CC) 6:30 p.m. FOOD Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives (CC) 7:00 p.m. KTNW The Great British Baking Show (CC) MONDAY 1:00 p.m. OPB Cook’s Country From America’s Test Kitchen (CC) FOOD The Pioneer Woman (CC) 1:30 p.m. FOOD The Pioneer Woman (CC) 2:00 p.m. FOOD Guy’s Grocery Games (CC) 3:00 p.m. KVEW The Rachael Ray Show (CC) FOOD Guy’s Grocery Games (CC) 4:00 p.m. FOOD Guy’s Grocery Games (CC) 5:00 p.m. FOOD Guy’s Grocery Games (CC) 6:00 p.m. FOOD Guy’s Grocery Games (CC) 7:00 p.m. FOOD Guy’s Grocery Games (CC) 8:00 p.m. FOOD Kids Baking Championship: Extra Icing (N) (CC) TUESDAY 1:00 p.m. KTNW Mexico: One Plate at a Time (CC) OPB Lidia’s Kitchen (CC) FOOD The Pioneer Woman (CC) 1:30 p.m. FOOD The Pioneer Woman (CC) 2:00 p.m. FOOD Supermarket Stakeout 3:00 p.m. KVEW The Rachael Ray Show (CC) FOOD Chopped Junior (CC) 4:00 p.m. FOOD Chopped (CC) 5:00 p.m. FOOD Chopped (CC) 6:00 p.m. FOOD Chopped (CC) 7:00 p.m. FOOD Chopped (CC) 8:00 p.m. FOOD Chopped (CC) Pendleton East-Oregonian, OR: Food Aug 21, 2019 to Aug 27, 2019 East Oregonian and Hermiston Herald | August 21, 2019 Screentime | 21
