Sites I Like: Alton Brown's Blog

Submitted by Warren on Tue, 06/01/2004 - 1:17pm.

Ever since I got married and got some cool cookware and cooking utensils, Lisa and I have been sort of learning to cook stuff we actually like to eat, and we've discovered The Food Network on our satellite dish.

Anyway, by far my favorite "chef" on the network is Alton Brown. Part Julia Child and part Mr. Wizard, he illustrates the science of cooking
with homemade props (the example of the sock-puppets eating packing popcorn in
a kiddie pool to show how bacteria turns milk into cheese is my
favorite), and a common-sense approach to cooking that demystifies the whole process. His amazing television show is entitled Good Eats.

Anyway, I just discovered that Alton has his own Blog on his own site. How I missed this I'll never know. There's also a nice article on him in Wired Magazine. Anyway, since Lisa knows that I think Alton Brown is a god, and does for food what I try to do for computing, here's some suggestions: watch his show, buy his books, read his Blog, and enjoy cooking. I've added his Blog to my Outside Links panel on the side of this site.

Hey, Alton's blog *is* down. I don't know why either, and I can't find a new link anywhere. I'm going to hope this is an oversight on AB's part, so I'll leave the link here for now, in the hopes that AB's blog returns. If I find a new URL, I'll edit this entry.

He closed up shop a while back after receiving some particularly nasty e-mails and comments. He had put out a call for pictures of people's fridges and some of the responses left him shook up enough to close up shop.

Alton Browns' Good Eats is the best cooking and educational shows on TV. I can appreciate the scientific aspect of the show since my College degree is a Bachelors in Science of Nursing. My wife and I enjoy cooking and entertaining our friends. A good friend of ours is lebonese and the mediteranian diet is the thing we use the most.
We enjoy Good Eats and we hope Alton heals soon from his accident.

Warren, you are SO AWESOME for alerting me to Alton's site. To quote you: **how I missed this I'll never know**

I have been watching Good Eats since I saw my first episode many months ago; now I have more than 2/3 of his episodes on tape so I can reference them when I want to cook something.

*hugs* and good wishes for you and Lisa,
