A Tale of Two Roasts

Transcript

I've transcribed both the aired version with it's commentary and the unaired version with it's commentary. Some parts of both versions have the same video and so they used the same commentary.

If you have a very wide screen, then this is all 4 transcripts put together

What It's All About

Being the self-proclaimed #1 Good Eats Aficionado, I finally broke down and purchased the DVD of Tale of Two Roasts. "Tale of Two Roasts" is in fact, NOT another episode per se. It is the original "director" cut of the Season 5 episode, Celebrity Roast. Hence, the "tale" is both cuts of the show: the one AB wanted and the one the suits wanted.
They originally shot the kitchen scenes in one of the crew's own kitchens which, if you've ever seen a college student's kitchen, then you know what the kitchen was like. (The stove was next to the washing machine.) This kitchen was supposed to be BA's kitchen. And he does find his Blender stuck in the oven.

So, on the DVD you get:

The originally "Aired Version" (which is also on the More Juicy Meats DVD)

The director's cut "Unaired Version" of the show

AB commentary over both aired and unaired versions

34.5 minutes of the show's production, Meet The Crew, narrated by AB with a lot of interviews with the crew and their responsibilities. Between this DVD and the Behind the Eats DVD you'll get a good idea of how the show is created

3 graphic pages of Alton Brown Bio

a FN preview section, this is the same section that starts up the DVD (I happen to be in one of the clips from the Stuff It episode. Sweet!)

The first one is Food Network

One for Good Eats

One for Iron Chef: America

One for Unwrapped

One for In The Kitchen

And one for their website store

    For the Meet The Crew section they were definitely still in their first studio, the one after the house but before they bought their own awesome studio.
    AB is talking in front of the fridge that says Wake Up Little Sushi, a season 9 show, aired 8.3.2005. So, this was 4 years after Celebrity Roast aired.
    I think this would make a great gift to someone who enjoys Good Eats. If you want to know how the behind-the-scene folks work and play and wanna see a director's cut of the show, then this is the thing to watch.
    Now, I'm hoping they eventually come out with the first two shows they created for PBS which were shot on film in wide screen format. That would be way cool.
