Cooking shows have historically been a pretty consistent breed: A chef running you through a recipe step by step while maybe throwing in a pithy story or anecdote every once in a while. But Alton Brown's Good Eats had a different mission. Rather than teach you a recipe, Brown's goal was to teach you the mechanics of food, giving you a baseline understanding of the science of cooking, and putting you on a path to make better meals. On the inaugural episode of the show, Alton takes Chase and Pierce through the surprisingly complex world of steaks (as well as bad '90s fashion).
