Alton Brown and Food Network have cooked up a wickedly sweet Halloween treat for “Good Eats” fans: The cable channel will air a new “Good Eats” primetime special from Brown next month. And yes, of course it’s about candy.
Here’s the official description for the episode, courtesy of “Food Network”: “Just in time for Halloween, Alton Brown tells the mysterious tale of a ghoulish 100-year-old cookbook in the cinematic Good Eats primetime special ‘The House That Dripped Chocolate.’ Premiering on Thursday, October 8th at 9pm Et/Pt and shot in black and white, the story begins when a cook, played by Brown, buys an old candy cookbook that turns out to be cursed. Every time he makes a treat, the tricks get weirder… not to mention more painful.”
“Nobody but the incomparable Alton Brown could thrill our viewers with a ghost story about a haunted cookbook,” Food...

Halloween is still a couple weeks away, but Food Network is already decking its halls with holiday content. This year, the cable channel is serving up more seasonal programming than ever, growing its themed episodes by 40% compared to 2018’s slate, and it kicked things off at the end of last month with some spooktacular specials.
The reason behind the big push into making the season brighter with more Halloween, Thanksgiving, Hanukkah, Christmas and New Year’s Eve offerings is how much the shows lit up last year’s Nielsen data for Food Network, which scored its highest-rated fourth quarter since 2015 (+9% vs. prior year), largely driven by the holiday-programming lineup.
“Looking at last year’s ratings and what we had done in 2017, we definitely, in both years — and never before as aggressively as this year — have taken a big step up in the volume of content,” Food Network president Courtney White told TheWrap.

“Good Eats” makes its long-awaited return to Food Network on Sunday with the premiere of “Good Eats: The Return,” the on-the-nose title of Season 15 of Alton Brown’s beloved science-meets-cooking show.
Both the cable channel and Brown have been promoting the stuffing out of the show’s new episodes, with Food Network launching the premiere early online and the celebrity cook hosting a Reddit Ama this week, plus fielding many, many fan questions on Twitter.
And with this level of enthusiasm for the return of “Good Eats,” we had to ask Brown why he stopped making the show, which ran from 1999 to 2012, in the first place — and why he finally decided to bring it back.
“It’s a complicated question,” Brown told TheWrap. “I stopped not because the network wanted me to stop or anybody else wanted me to stop; I kind of wanted to take a break for a few years.

Say the name Guy Fieri, and the mind fills with images of frosted tips, bowling shirts covered in flames, and a made-up land called Flavortown USA, where manhole covers are made of pizza and the law states that one must always “sauce with authority.”
It’s got it’s own fan site, but you won’t find it on any map — Fieri himself is still amazed at the epic proportions to which one simple catch phrase has grown. But making people happy, he says, is what makes him happy — and coincidentally, spreading happiness is something that being a chef and a beloved internet meme have in common.
“In today’s world, so many people are doing things that make people unhappy, and there’s so many sad situations that are going on. To know that there’s a picture of me as a fat little cherub baby with sunglasses on,...
