All good things must come to an end: beloved food nerd Alton Brown, whose Food Network show Good Eats taught millions of people the science behind their favorite meals in a goofy, easy-to-digest fashion, has announced that he is ending the series after a 12-year run.
Via Twitter, Brown wrote: "G.E. fans, I've decided to cut the half hour series at 249 eps. There will be 3 new 1 hour eps this year and that's it. But mourn not.

Food Network will continue airing reruns of the show, which won everything from a Peabody to a James Beard Award.
The Chicago Tribune has an impressive rundown of every food and cooking technique the series ever covered—it's a lot. Brown, who was responsible for writing and producing every episode of "Good Eats," has yet to announce what his "new, good" things are, but thousands of fans await his next move.
