[x] Remove Ad
Stuffing is evil! has been the popular wisdom at Good Eats for nearly eight years. But people have written and written, and convinced Alton that maybe he should take another look at a culinary enemy. That yields Turkey with Stuffing and Stuffed Squash. Alton explains what not to do, what to do, and in the end proves that stuffing is not only not evil, it can be... Good Eats!

Episode Notes |
| |
Cards- The 1st century foodie Apicius wrote of Romans stuffing everything from chicken to deer.
- Challah was originally baked by Jewish families in honor of the Sabbath.
- Turducken is a chicken cooked in a duck, cooked in a turkey.
- Allowing the turkey to rest at least 15 to 20 minutes before carving makes for a juicier bird.
- Squash is thought to be one of the first foods cultivated by Native American Indians.
- The word dressing was introduced in Victorian England, when the term stuffing was thought to be improper.

Alton loves the smell of cooked celery in the morning because it smells like Thanksgiving. He's channeling Robert Duvall as the bizarre Colonel Kilgore in 1979's Apocalypse Now. One might be glad Alton's kitchen doesn't smell like the napalm that Colonel Kilgore believed "smelled like victory!"
| Alton uses the line "You are correct, sir!" and other references to The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson. This particular line was an Ed McMahon catchphrase in his role as Johnny's sideman. Carson was not the first host, but one might argue he was the most successful - he hosted for thirty years.
| Thank you, Thing!
Alton often gets help from a hand that reaches on camera. We never see the owner of the hand, and Alton refers to this extra appendage as Thing. Thing's first television appearance was on The Addams Family (1964) where he was every bit as helpful.
