But… but Alton isn’t always right!

Not like I’ve learned to cook from FN, but does anyone who cooked BEFORE they watched him on FN actually like his advice? Sure, his show is cute and all, but honestly I have never had good results with his recipes, esp. when compared to my own recipes, and sometimes his advice is just… plain… bad.

Glock, I’m with you on that anniversary special. That was awful, with the exception of the funny clips from old shows. He should have done an hour of that. I would have been pissed if I were one of those people who actually paid to go to that.

Mick, dude, you can’t bash Alton on this site, everyone LOVES him. You will become very unpopular. Personally, I think you can bash whoever you want, but it’s better to try to be funny. (Ya, I know this post isn’t funny. I’m a hypocrite.) :-)

It’s true, I’m Guy in disguise… you all caught me. Damn you all! (sarcasm drips drips drips).

My comment was based on radio clip Alton did to promote his coffee table book, where he basically slammed all the hosts on the network. I think Alton caters to folks who like to bash on the FN talent, who are wonderful targets. He sucks up to them. However, Alton suckles at the same suckling device that they all do. So, his pretension sparkles a little brighter for me. BTW you can also substitute the word pretension for hypocrisy for the those of you out there who really don’t like AB.

I was creeped out after watching it, these google people actually know specific episode names and characters, I thought it was geeky to remember “Stuffing is Evil”, but damn.

I am indeed, down with Alton B. I know the video is long, but if you do like him, it’s worth watching.

AB is good eats and super sexy, light enough now for me to tackle him, throw him over my shoulder, and run away with him ;)

I think Alton Brown is great. Definitely one of the few bright spots for Food Network. This video also shows that he has lost a significant amount of weight. I hope he is in good health and the weight loss was intentional and under the supervision of a health professional.

On another semi-related topic: Who will be the Next Iron Chef? I am betting it will be Chef Garces.

I agree with the sarcastic–which endears me to the man all the more-I don’t see the ‘bitter’, though. Disillusioned, maybe.
That said, I loved the presentation! And, ditto on the jeans comment! :)
