| 15 :02x01 - It's a Wonderful Cake (Dec/15/1999) | | Alton needs a holiday-themed show, and he needs it right away. Rejecting idea after idea from his eager staffers, he finally accepts on from his grandmother. She suggests fruitcake, that much maligned holiday dessert. Alton believes he can redeem the fruitcake, and sets out to try. Viewers may try his Free Range Fruitcake and judge for themselves whether he succeeded. | Director: Chris Gyoury Writer: Alton Brown | |

| 17 :02x03 - Apple Family Values (Mar/01/2000) | | Since the beginning of time, apples have fascinated man like few other fruits. They appear in the Bible (where they play a central role) and occupy the top of the fruit hierarchy. They’re available in thousands of varieties, some good raw, others good cooked, and still others at their best baked. Alton starts with the raw sort, showing how they contribute crisp sweetness to It’s a Wonderful Waldorf salad. After demonstrating a basic salad, Alton shows how to enhance it with complementary flavors. Then he moves on to 10 Minute Apple Sauce, an applesauce that serves as a snake, glaze, or filling equally well. Finally, he demonstrates apple crisps cooked right inside the apple with his recipe Baker Baker. | Director: Chris Gyoury Writer: Alton Brown | |

| 18 :02x04 - Crustacean Nation (Mar/08/2000) | | Alton tackles The Shrimp Cocktail - once a delicacy, now consigned to cheap hotel buffets and weddings. Alton means to change that, showing how to make shrimp... Good Eats. Along the way, he explains how to buy shrimp and signs that what you're getting may not be the freshest. With a little brine and the dry heat of the broiler, Alton promises a delicacy. | | Uncredited: Steve Rooney as Cousin Ray | Director: Chris Gyoury Writer: Alton Brown | |

| 19 :02x05 - The Fungal Gourmet (Mar/15/2000) | | Odd edibles abound the world over, but one of the oddest may be right in your own refrigerator: the mushroom. Alton teaches how to buy them, store them and prepare them, sharing recipes for The Fungal Sauté and That Ol’ Cap Magic. And in just one breath, a technique for clarifying butter! | | Uncredited: Steve Rooney as Mad French Chef, Paul Merchant as Kitchen Apprentice | Director: Chris Gyoury Writer: Alton Brown | |

| 21 :02x07 - True Brew (Apr/12/2000) | | Ah, coffee. The dark drink many folks must have to start their day. If they only knew what they were missing when they settle for insipid inky ick. Alton means to show them! Coffee is just water and coffee beans, right? Right! But the right kind of coffee beans, the right water and even the right temperature mean the difference between a bland brew and... Good Eats! | Director: Chris Gyoury Writer: Alton Brown | |

| 25 :02x11 - Pantry Raid II: Seeing Red (Jun/07/2000) | | Alton's back to the pantry, this time for tomatoes. From a discussion of different ways tomatoes are sold Alton meanders through the hazards of electric can openers and the right way to care for your knives before he reaches his goal: a tomato sauce that tastes like hours but takes minutes, and works well for all sorts of foods - and to prove it, Alton shows three easy variations of his Pantry Friendly Tomato Sauce. | | Guest Stars: Shirley Corriher as Food scientist, Geoff Edges as Himself, | Uncredited: Steve Rooney as E. Clement Hoss | Director: Chris Gyoury Writer: Alton Brown | |
