Alton Brown's former TV studio, where he filmed the Food Network show "Good Eats", has been sold to Reliant Technologies. Located in Georgia Tech submarket at 1371 Southland Circle, on Atlanta's Westside, the studio was the setting for the science-meets-cooking show that helped launch Brown to celebrity status. Each episode was based on a cooking theme, and included historical analysis of the theme as well as information about simple culinary techniques.

The sale of the 17,000-square-foot studio was negotiated by Bull Realty for $1.67 million.

Brown purchased the studio in 2004, and has outgrown the use of it due to filming most of his recent programs in New York and Los Angeles. Brown has since gone on to star in other shows such as Iron Chef America, and he makes guest appearances on other food programs.

The creative star of the show received a degree in drama from the University of Georgia. Combined with the knowledge he gained from the New England Culinary Institute, Brown's theatrical talents helped to bring good ratings to "Good Eats" throughout its 14 seasons. His shows incorporated quirky features such as appearances by Brown's real-life family. He also had a recurring gag in which he played his own "evil" twin. Episodes often featured Brown utilizing his significant talents in skits to illustrate or introduce the theme.

"Good Eats" concluded in 2011, due to Brown's desire to follow other pursuits. He said the episodes as represented his best efforts, leaving what he describes as a library of work that "were dense, juicy and succulent and last a long time."

Alton Brown has most recently appeared on Discovery Channel's Mythbusters in an episode titled "Food Fables."
