By Mise En Place(miseenplace08@gmail.com) I finally caught the new Welch's ad with Alton Brown. Thanks to leaving the TV tuned to Food Network after watching the two Thanksgiving related Good Eats episodes Saturday night, I saw the ad three times during Unwrapped!

By Mise En Place(miseenplace08@gmail.com) Since I was so inspired by Alton Brown in the newest Good Eats episode, "Turning Japanese," Friday I made a little jaunt to a local Asian market. In the downtown area of the small town where I work, there's an Asian market. I haven't a clue as to why this little town of a population barely over 13,...

By Mise En Place(miseenplace08@gmail.com) Nearly a month after seeing Alton Brown in Washington, DC, I finally framed the poster he signed at the first event that day. I can actually thank my mom for this piece of brilliance. She brought the cover to her book from going to the Good Eats 10th Anniversary show in Atlanta.

By Mise En Place(miseenplace08@gmail.com) Two exciting shows with similar themes for Alton Brown will air this week. First on Sunday, the Next Iron Chef takes AB and the remaining four chefs on a jaunt to the Land of the Rising Sun. Then on Monday, a brand new Good Eats episode turns our pantries Japanese.

By Mise En Place(miseenplace08@gmail.com) According to Alton Brown's website on Thursday, November 19 at 7:30 p.m. he will be streaming a live video on his "10 Things I Know About Food." Mark your calendar, if you haven't seen this. I'll probably watch just for the entertainment value. :)

By Mise En Place(miseenplace08@gmail.com) An upcoming episode of Iron Chef America featured a culinary challenge at the White House of all places. Apparently White House veggie garden was too much for Alton Brown, in the article it says he took a spill into the turnip patch. Oh the jokes running through my head!

By Mise En Place(miseenplace08@gmail.com) Monday night another new Good Eats premiers. This week Alton Brown talks about trout. From the recipes posted on Food Network's site, the type of trout will be the sustainable rainbow varity. Hot Smoked Trout, Rollmops, Escabeche of Trout will be covered in the episode "Once and Future Fish....

By Mise En Place(miseenplace08@gmail.com) I have neglected to talk much about the Next Iron Chef competition amid all of the other Alton Brown related happenings in October. Now that November is upon us, his book tour is over, let's get down to talking about some of the shows. Since the Next Iron Chef hasn't received much attention, I'...

By Mise En Place(miseenplace08@gmail.com) It is hard to believe, but it was two weeks ago that I saw Alton Brown in Washington, DC. What is even more difficult to believe is that I have neglected to tell the best tale of the whole experience! I know Alton doesn't read this blog, but I sure want to thank him for wearing the pin and making me s...

By Mise En Place(miseenplace08@gmail.com) Alton Brown will cover pound cake on Monday's new Good Eats episode. I cannot wait to see this because he has an extremely fabulous recipe for pound cake in I'm Just Here for More Food. I've been making that version since the book came out in 2004. Check out "A Pound of Cake" Monday at 8 p.m. EST.

By Mise En Place(miseenplace08@gmail.com) Last week at the Smithsonian Institute lecture, Alton Brown proudly announced Good Eats: The Early Years made the New York Times bestseller list. Then in true AB form, quipped that put him into "bonus" territory with his publisher.

By Mise En Place(miseenplace08@gmail.com) Sustainable seafood is an important issue for everyone and I believe it is very important, but not just because is it something that Alton Brown supports. The Monterey Bay Aquarium's Seafood Watch has released a list of chefs and culinary leaders who are lending their support to save seaf...

By Mise En Place(miseenplace08@gmail.com) Good Drinks Chicken and Dumplings Weight Loss Paella Curry Catfish and Hushpuppies Salty and SweetI learned how to make the best chicken and dumplings from Alton in I'm Just Here for More Food, don't know how he could make them better! And I'll be so ready for the catfish and hushpuppies!

By Mise En Place(miseenplace08@gmail.com) Overall, this was one great episode for learning about using fermented alcohols, oh and how can you not like the ones when the yeasties appear? Five fine wine bottles for a great episode! Although, I liked the name on the fridge, Food Under the Influence, better for the title.

By Mise En Place(miseenplace08@gmail.com) Last week I was preparing to go see Alton Brown and failed to post a review of both the Anniversary show and the new episode on breakfast food. I will say this about "Another Man Food Show," I guess you have to be a man to get it. It was not one of my favorites. Although, I loved the first "Man Food Show...

By Mise En Place(miseenplace08@gmail.com) When I found out in addition to being at the Smithsonian, Alton Brown was going to have a book signing at Sur La Table in Arlington, Va., I had to attend both while in the Washington, DC area. And I am so glad this was on my list. Every time I converse with AB, I learn something or get an interesting ti...

By Mise En Place(miseenplace08@gmail.com) Luckily my fellow food blogger Jen over at Beantown Baker wasn't as brain dead upon meeting Alton Brown as I was. She got a book signed for a giveaway on her site. Head over the Beantown Baker and enter to win a copy inscribed to a lucky fan! :)

By Mise En Place(miseenplace08@gmail.com) The performance at the Smithsonian turned out not to be about Good Eats after all and was AB's current lecture on his 10 food rules to live by. I was a bit disappointed in that. The lecture was great, lots of laughs, but the show was sold as a Good Eats retrospective I hope people didn't plan on thi...

By Mise En Place(miseenplace08@gmail.com) After the Anniversary Special spectacle, it is back to "normal" cooking and teaching for Alton Brown tonight with a new episode of Good Eats. Another Man Food Show, this one is about breakfast will air tonight a 8 pm (EST)

The Los Angeles Times has an article on AB, GE and the possible end of the show in a year. Article is here. And finally, the Good Eats Anniversary show airs tonight at 10pm EST.

By Mise En Place(miseenplace08@gmail.com) If you missed Alton Brown on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, he made smoothies for the segment. But not ordinary smoothies. The CBS show was, by far, the best segment of the week. Host Harry Smith let Alton talk and cook and be AB. Great. The Jimmy Fallon segment was a close second, however. Both much b...

By Mise En Place(miseenplace08@gmail.com) The premier episode of Next Iron Chef, season 2, with Alton Brown scored a Food Network record for a debut episode with 2.1 million viewers. Still looking for AB's vlog on the site, but if you haven't watched his video on the usual ingredients from the first episode, click here.

By Mise En Place(miseenplace08@gmail.com) If you're an Alton Brown fan and a Top Chef, you may not want to read this interview. AB said the show was a "sous chef kind of show." But he retracted it after the interviewer pointed out somethings about the show. I don't watch it either (Alton said he didn't watch it) so no harm no foul. ;)

By Mise En Place(miseenplace08@gmail.com) The whirlwind book tour and plugging continues tonight (or early Friday morning) for Alton Brown. He will be a guest on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, check you local listings for this. Where I am, it is on at 12:35. I've scoped out the show's website, full episodes and clips are posted... yay!

By Mise En Place(miseenplace08@gmail.com) The full episode of The View featuring Alton Brown is now up on ABC's website. Go here to watch the show online. While you are there, go to the show's main page and scroll on the video screen for "Alton's Exit Interview." I nice little chat with AB. And thanks, again, the reader Vicky for the find.

By Mise En Place(miseenplace08@gmail.com) Watch Roasting Pumpkin Sees with Alton Roasted pumpkins seeds are one of the few things I can remember about kindergarden. Our teacher brought in an eletric skillet, we carved pumpkins and made roasted seeds. Guess I've had an unnatural attraction to cooking and food my whole life. ;)

By Mise En Place(miseenplace08@gmail.com) Sunday night at 9 p.m. the new season starts, be sure to tune in. I'm actually excited about this show because the first competition was very good. Although I wanted John Besh to win it all, Micheal Symon is pretty darn cool and my favorite Iron Chef.

By Mise En Place(miseenplace08@gmail.com) About two weeks ago I received an email from a reporter with the Wall Street Journal asking if I would talk about going to see Alton Brown at live events. I was floored, flabbergasted, etc. that she found out about me. Ah the power of the Internet. WOW!

By Mise En Place(miseenplace08@gmail.com) My friend L called me at work last night to say Alton Brown was in TV Guide again. Ok, its just a blurb about the blurb about the upcoming 10th anniversary show, but nice to see AB and Good Eats getting some attention! The issue is October 5-11 issue with the guys from NCIS: LA on the cover.

By Mise En Place(miseenplace08@gmail.com) I've probably said I'm Just Here for More Food is my favorite cookbook as many times as AB has said "Oh bother" on Good Eats and there is good reason. Every recipe I've tried from this book is a winner--not to say his other books or even GE's recipes aren't equally as wonderful, but the recipes f...

By Mise En Place(miseenplace08@gmail.com) I just found out about a new website for fans of the Food Network, its hosts and shows. And since Alton Brown is on FN and a bright luminary on the channel, I love FN. And I'd love them even more if they would give AB the go ahead for more Feasting on shows!

By Mise En Place(miseenplace08@gmail.com) Great, super, fantastic news about some upcoming TV appearances for Alton Brown. He's out promoting the new book next week and will land on some might big TV shows to make his plug. The TIVO will be filling up quickly. ;) Plus, remember AB's lecture at Oakland University in Michigan on Wednesd...

By Mise En Place(miseenplace08@gmail.com) Special thanks to reader Lauren for finding a blog from a tailor shop in Atlanta. And why is this important? Because it is the shop Alton used to make the Colonel Bob Boatwright costume! Check out their post on the AB's visit at their blog and there's a photo of Alton with a cool messenger bag.

By Mise En Place(miseenplace08@gmail.com) To celebrate the Autumnal Equinox today, I broke out one of my favorite seasonal recipes from Alton Brown. The pumpkin bread featured in "Squash Court" quickly became a wonderful addition to the Fall baking repertoire because of its ease to make and great taste.

By Mise En Place(miseenplace08@gmail.com) Watching Iron Chef America Sunday evening, a promo for the Next Iron Chef caught my attention for what it said would be available as the series airs. Apparently, Alton Brown will offer his comments on each week's event through a video blog.

By Mise En Place(miseenplace08@gmail.com) October ushers in a few new Good Eats episodes and the Next Iron Chef competition, so mark your calendar, set the TIVO, etc. Ten chefs arrive in Los Angeles to compete in a series of globally-inspired cooking challenges that will test their abilities to master culinary styles from around t...

By Mise En Place(miseenplace08@gmail.com) Are ready for some... culinary combat? I just found a sneak preview video on Food Network for the Next Iron Chef. This video is great because Alton Brown narrates it! I'm pretty excited to see this round of chefs for the competition. John Besh was who I wanted to win during the first competition, I...

By Mise En Place(miseenplace08@gmail.com) Looks like Food Network is at it again with their Dear Food Network specials. Yes, tis that time of year to ask a clueless question and meet your favorite host/chef while leaving the die-hard fans out in the cold. And this whole show concept begs the question, if you're a fan said host/chef the...

By Mise En Place(miseenplace08@gmail.com) If you enjoy Iron Chef America because Alton Brown is the commentator (that's why I watch) or if you like it for whatever reason, be sure to catch a mini-marathon on Saturday night starting at 8pm (EST). 8pm -- Batali vs. Oliver 9pm -- Flay vs. Bull 10pm -- Symon vs. Kaysen 11pm -- Flay vs. Garces

By Mise En Place(miseenplace08@gmail.com) Besides appreciating all of the culinary knowledge and assistance Alton Brown has given over the years, an equally appreciated project, for me, is the Feasting on series. Despite my love of cooking and learning how to improved my skills, I may love the Feasting on shows a tad more than Good...

By Mise En Place(miseenplace08@gmail.com) A few weeks ago I started messing around with the graphics and layout of the blog, because I like to change up things every now and then. Then I thought the main page needed some work, and a new photo or two of Alton Brown. The other one still had Nashville 2008!

By Mise En Place(miseenplace08@gmail.com) I got some more goodies thanks to attending the Good Eats anniversary show. In the goodie bag we received a gift card for the Food Network store. I took my card, my mom's and a old gift certificate to buy a shiny new All-Clad saucier. So now I can say, thanks to Alton Brown I could get it. And really, b...

By Mise En Place(miseenplace08@gmail.com) Remember a few months ago there was an article about Atlanta celebrities doing ads for the mass transit system? In case you don't read this article. Well, Alton Brown was one of the Atlantonias (I hope that's what people from Atlanta are called) selected for the campaign.

By Mise En Place(miseenplace08@gmail.com) Combine a performing arts theatre, an off-beat cooking show and a milestone anniversary inside the mind of Alton Brown and what do you get? Quite possibly the best cooking show turned variety show performance, ever. And certainly something no other cooking show would ever present as an e...

By Mise En Place(miseenplace08@gmail.com) My experience just got better when I started looking through the loot from the event, I found we had Food Network store gift cards in the salt cellar boxes! Another wow! Mom gave me hers and I'm looking over there now at a few items I'm been eying.

By Mise En Place(miseenplace08@gmail.com) As I waited for AB to call about the superfan panel, I caught wind of the Good Eats Great Fan contest on Food Network. For me, winning that contest would once and for all prove that I'm a great fan. It would be official! To get my title, I crafted a video to express my gratitude to Alton for teaching...

By Mise En Place(miseenplace08@gmail.com) Alton hacked the water cooler and the fire extinguisher into some type of device then put in the fruit and blasted away on the extinguisher. Before you knew it, fruit flew like shrapnel. And I was fortunate enough to sit in the first row, in the poncho zone for the Gallagher treatment.

By Mise En Place(miseenplace08@gmail.com) While I work on my recap of the weekend and the fabulous show and seeing Alton again, here's an article from the Saturday Evening Post on Good Eats and its 10 years! Read it here!

By Mise En Place(miseenplace08@gmail.com) Heading out bright and early Friday morning to get down to Atlanta for the show taping and seeing Alton Brown on Saturday.

By Mise En Place(noreply@blogger.com) This brings me to being grateful and thankful for Alton. The biggest appeal of Good Eats, for me, is the teaching element of the show.
