For the moment I say buy from Target...price $16.99.

As for content, it is typical Alton Brown. He is funny, informative, and not bad on the eyes - even if his fashion sense leaves something to be desired. Oh and the recipes are great, too!

The 3 discs are Morning Munchables (great collection of breakfast goodies); Flat Out Tasty (Beef Paillard, Chicken Kiev, Turkey Piccata, 3 recipes for Flounder, Chicken Fried Steak, Country Style Steak, and Swiss Steak); and Tasty Toppings (2 Mayonnaise recipes, Strip Steak with Pepper Cream Sauce, Hollandaise, Beurre Blanc, Compound Butter, and Honey Butter).

Alton Brown is a great teacher. My husband LOVES his show. Once my kids are old enough I am going to use his videos to teach them how to cook and approach kitchen gear. Very practical, entertaining (he's nerdy, sarcastic, yet super down-to-earth- but might be annoying to some people), and always very informative. If you're not sure if you'll like his videos, I think you can view some of his shows on Food Network or YouTube. I think he really appeals to those people who like to the why of cooking and the science behind why certain recipes work and why others do not. I love that he is resourceful and doesn' try to "sell" upscale kitchen gear to appear like a better chef. Wish he was a neighbor!

$100??? Are the DVDs made out of gold? I saw other volumes on here going for $60 or more -- even that's ridiculous.

Good Eats is a great show -- the best on Food Network, in my opinion -- but what these sellers are asking you to pay is absolutely absurd and completely unjustifiable.
