When I bought my Samsung UN65ES8000 (65" 240 MHz TV) in the fall of 2012 at a great price, I purchased it with the full intent that I'd upgrade the UI at a point in the future. The 2012 Browser was unusable, the apps were painfully slow at times, and it wasn't the experience I believed a 21st century converged device was capable of.

In true Alton Brown fashion, he hits it out of the park with this one. The biggest challenge for some people will be the metric measurements used for weights, BUT as you know if you are a fan of AB's work, it's only done for a reason when it matters. The pictures are great, my mouth has been watering since I opened it up. You'll recognize some twists on Good Eats favorites as well as plenty of new tasty adventures to try. My only disappointment so far has been with the printing of the book, as the pages have some gummy stuff at the top, (leftover bacon laquer?).
