Chef Alton Brown

I think you all know who Alton Brown is. The TV chef and Game Show host of the new Cutthroat Kitchen. 

I love Alton's shows.

If you have not seen Alton on the television, I highly recommend him. You will be entertained.

Alton studied film and theater. He worked as a director and cinematographer, and did cinema works. 
He attended the New England Culinary Institute in Vermont. After cooking school, he interned with a French chef and found the experience maddening. His boss offered edicts, not explanations. Sounds like some of my art teachers.

He turned up on television in 1999, with Good Eats

Remember Good Eats?

He studied the history and science behind an ingredient or a process and then present what he had learned in a "playful yet punctilious" fashion. He was gentle and urbane. Good Eats became a hit. 

Brown is doing sold-out shows in theaters, touring the country.
You think may be he will come to Ada?

Brown said that he had talked to some anthropologists, and they told him that there were only two activities humans prefer to do in groups, laugh and eat.

So, my friends, during this holiday season when you are with company, laugh and eat.
