He is genuinely funny w/o being nasty and his knowledge is not only helpful but makes so much sence. I do hope the "food nazi bunch" do not get a hold on this network and try to force the "cooks" to lie to the viewers and try to make us believe that our food will taste the same when we use all the new stuff they're forcing us to use . I stay away from "lites" "low fat" "no fat", etc. as there is "no taste". Thanks for great shows and hosts. I have loved this guy since I first started watching this Network.

I've heard of too many who aren't. I guess we'll have to agree to disagree, because you only want to see the negative. I'm not saying he wasn't snarky, but everyone has off days.

Anyone can be graceful and accomodating. Sandra Lee could be the same if she wanted to be. Ditto Guy Fee-ett-ee. Ditto Giada. And if Alton can diss his peers on a live radio show then I can diss him on a snarkers forum. Spare me the “Alton Brown is the closest thing to Jesus” act. Anyone can be graceful and accomodating.

That really speaks to your character, or lack thereof . My fiance and I attended a book signing AB had last Friday night. I saw NO evidence of a diva-like attitude, conceit or a swelled head. The event was jammed, and he made a point, after giving his presentation, of asking that anyone who was attending with children would be allowed to cut in line and get their books signed first, so that wouldn't be kept out too late. In addition, there was a fan in a wheelchair that he walked over to sign for, instead of making him roll all the way up to the podium. Because of the number of people, he could have refused to have any pictures taken, and, while he didn't allow for posed pictures, a staff member took candids for anyone who had a camera while their books were signed. He shook hands with everyone, and chatted with my fiance and I for a few minutes as he signed, instead of just dashing off a signature and turning to the next person He was warm, and gracious, and totally genuine. If anyone gets a chance to see him, don't pass it up! Cuisine Boy, real classy, talking about AB “Channeling Karen Carpenter”. That really speaks to your character, or lack thereof .

I never cared for Alton Brown. I remember seeing him on an ep of TNFNS and he had such a pompous, diva-like attitude I snickered to myself, "I thought so". And I see that Alton Brown is channeling Kate Moss (or Karen Carpenter, for some of us old schoolers) into looking like he's should have "Yes--I shove fingers down my throat after eating my sardines" branded on his forehead. What Alton is doing is no different than what Anthony Bourdain has done in the past. You would think that someone who is part of a big corporate structure like FN would show some kind of respect or courtesy on a live radio interview towards his peers, even if he has a personal beef about them. But him airing out his dirty laundry like that just made him even more repulsive in my eyes.

Also, this Saturday night is his hour long anniversary special, with a couple hour long shows prior. The FN site sucks, so it's no wonder one day you can find something and another day, fogedabowdit.
