Speaking of Good Eats

love the show I've made a lot of his recipies

I don't like Alton Brown. I find him annoying. I enjoy the information which is presented, just not the presenter.

i love him on his own shows but dont really care for him on iron chef. btw...he did a show on 'pop up biscuits'...anyone got a link to it or anything...i wanna try them

[md4958]

when you say pop up biscuits do you mean buttermilk biscuits? if so, i have tried his recipe and they were awesome

you have to be gentle when handling the dough, it really makes a difference in tenderness

oh, no. those are called popovers. go to the link, type in popover and then along the left side click the more chef tab and then click on Alton Brown

Ive never tried them.

to quote My Blue Heaven, when the ex-mobster bites into a popover
"what the freak is dis???"

I love the show.. I also liked the motorcycle one where he toured the country..


I love the gadgets, science and multi use stuff..

Love Alton, especialy his books. like stated above, they're more like text books, which is great! You can sit down and read em. Learned a ton on technique from those books.

Alton is great!

He is the direct inheritor of the mantles of two of the best TV Chefs of the past -- Julia Child and Jeff Smith (The Frugal Gourmet). Just as they had a connection to ingredients, techniques and food culture, so does he. (Yes, there was some controversy surrounding Jeff's show towards the end, but the man knew his food!)
Too many of FN's current crop of chef's are "just cooking" -- they don't seem to know their ingredients except as just an ingredient with which to make something else. The connection to ingredients as food, is missing. They also seem to be lacking in the culture of the foods they make.
Alton gets it. So, do Giada and Mario.

Don't get me started on Emeril the has-been, or Rachel the product placement/advertising whore. (I still don't understand how she has that gig -- the newbs they bring in for "Next Food Network Star" have more culinary chops than she does.)

I freakin' love Alton Brown but mrsreindeer just doesn't get it. She doesn't enjoy it one bit.

Oh man, then I shouldn't tell you I had his sweetbreads at B&B in Vegas on Saturday.....freaking INSANE.

You should come out to L.A. and grab a slice with me at his pizza joint. I've never been.

I really like his shows. Great tips on safety.
