Alton Brown on The Big Idea with Donnie Deutsch

submitted by Sketch

An interesting interview with my favorite Food Network star talking about taking a plunge and making one's vision come true. A good look behind how Alton Brown became the star he is now.

Never heard of him.

Then you are missing out. He does a show called Good Eats on the Food Network, which is the perfect blend of cooking, culinary science, and anthropology lessons all in one entertaining half hour. It's cooking for geeks and it's brilliant.

He also moderates the American version of Iron Chef, which he does a good job at but in my opinion pales in comparison to the original Japanese version. And he also has another show called Feasting on Asphalt, where he takes a road trip and stops along culinary hot spots along the trail, but off the beaten bypass.

Always wished his shows would run an hour long....kitchen chemistry is one of those things you never think about when you know the tricks....and there are always more subtleties to be discovered...great post-

Alton's brilliant. I've been intrigued by but scared of The Big Idea and now I know why--Deutsch appears an idiot.

This host is an idjit.
