In college, I was really struggling with debilitating depression and anxiety. The life transition as a socially maladroit, possibly autistic person was hard to deal with. To get myself to sleep, I would watch Good Eats every night until I conked out. For me, the show embodies passion and comfort, curiosity and enjoyment. The idea that looking closely at the world isn't the cause of fear, but rather the cause of joy. I learned to love cooking from the show.
Ten years later and I'm in a similar place in life, albeit wiser and more self-awareness, but with Good Eats still reminding me of all that I value in the world.

Start from season 1 – you'll learn so much about food and the fundamentals of cooking. Alton Brown is a character. He studied film and was not satisfied with the state of cooking shows on television, so he went to culinary school and the rest is history!

Chef John. It’s a popular cooking youtube channel. But me and my wife love it and use it when we wanna try new things, or remember how to make obvious stuff. He’s got a calm, soothing, kinda ASMR kind of voice and I sometimes just watch his videos to relax.

yeah wtv i’m a buzzfeed apologist but the worth it series is genuinely so good. it’s a nice concise format starring good food and bc 2/3 options are tenable meals that don’t cost hundreds of dollars there’s always good food recs in there. i used to just watch them as background noise as i would eat, but recently i’ve come to appreciate how well made they are—especially as the show progressed
