Streaming video can help cord-cutters enjoy live events and prime time shows with flexibility. However, this one goes out to the one I love. After a break of over six years, Alton Brown is bringing his iconic show Good Eats back to television.
Good Eats' 15th season, labeled Good Eats: The Return , is debuting Sunday, Aug. 25 at 10 p.m. Eastern on Food Network with two back-to-back episodes. The show will air on Sunday nights in that slot with two new episodes every week. This season has updated a few things, like Alton's kitchen and his camera angles, but it will have all new culinary topics to cover. He could revisit the recipes for the previous 14 seasons, but as Brown often says, that's another show.
That other show is very real, as fans can also enjoy all new episodes of "Good Eats: Reloaded" on Cooking Channel. In Reloaded, Alton Brown goes back into original episodes to update recipes to reflect his own changes, add new things, and put right what once went wrong in his eyes. The show has taken classic episodes, already rewatchable, and added an extra level of enjoyment. It was just renewed for a second season, so the Good Eats universe will keep expanding.
Stream Good Eats
Fans have been asking @AltonBrown about how to watch the new Good Eats ever since the show has been announced. Many of them no longer have cable, which he points out is the classic method to watch the show. I've learned so much about food and cooking from Alton through the years, and I've also learned that the classic methods can be remixed and reloaded. In this case, that means streaming TV.
So let Mr. Brown create, educate and cook, but leave the streaming TV help to us. There are plenty of affordable and easy ways to stream Good Eats: The Return and Good Eats Reloaded live or on demand.

Buy a season pass of Good Eats
If you would rather own Good Eats: The Return, and rewatch it again and again, you can choose to buy a season pass on digital video stores. The latest season is now available on Amazon, Google Play, and iTunes.
A quick word of warning from one fan to another. Good Eats: The Return is listed by Food Network on TV as season 15. However, stores like Amazon & Google Play have Good Eats: The Return listed as Season 16. This is because there is already a season 15 of Good Eats on digital stores. It has the 10th anniversary special and some other special content. It is worth watching, but buy Season 16, linked below, if you want the latest episodes. The first two episodes are live and linked below.
