Alton Brown did a great show last night...

lisacsco · Jun 1, 2007

He smoked a Boston Butt, using a brine of:

1 gal water
12 oz. pickling salt
8 oz of molasses

He stated those ingredients were the best for dissolving in cold water.
He then smoked it in a homemade terracotta smoker.
Here is the rub he used:

Rub:
1 teaspoon whole cumin seed
1 teaspoon whole fennel seed
1 teaspoon whole coriander
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 tablespoon paprika

grounded up in a small hand held coffee bean grinder and sifted onto the meat.

It looked really good, he did a great job.

Did anyone know that May was National BBQ Month?

Am I the only one here that Alton Brown chafes BIG TIME ?........

packrat · Jun 2, 2007

He's an, uh..., "acquired taste".

teacup13 · Jun 2, 2007

my missus thinks he is a pothead..lol

lisacsco · Jun 2, 2007

lol.....I found out he worked in an office, didnt have anything to do with food, and a co-worker talked him into sending a tape of his cooking. They got him a show right away.

He is OK, I just catch him once in awhile, just too see what helpful hints he has.

AB is a staple in the Meowey household. He IS however an acquired taste.

Take care, have fun, and do good!

Ah man, yes we love Alton here. I have learned some cool things from him but can understand why others may not agree. But I tend to run a bit off of center myself so that may explain things

camocook · Jun 2, 2007

To me Alton is the Bill Nye of the culinary world.He not only shows you how but explains why things work together in a more scientific approach.

bluefrog · Jun 2, 2007

I have found that men like Alton and women do not at least in this family and extended family. The husbands that cook like Alton and teir wives do not.

packrat · Jun 2, 2007

He does give you good info, and info on WHY you do something. I always like to know why you do something, and his show is about the only one that tells you that. Yes he is a little weird sometimes (and sometimes VERY weird), but it's better than a lot of shows out there.

i may have to check him out cause i've been told i'm an "acquired taste"(or something starting w/ an A anyway...

has anyone ever watched the old justin wilson cooking show ?

lisacsco · Jun 2, 2007

was that the old cagun show guy? I can barely remember the show.

gypsyseagod · Jun 2, 2007

yeah thats him. they show it on cable still, i think on vs network.

up in smoke · Jun 2, 2007

I loved Justin Wilson! Incredibly entertaining show! As for Alton Brownâ€¦read his history. He was a cook turned cinematographer, and did all his own shows! I like his weird sense of humor and his analytical approach to culinary feats. Best show on Food Network! I have learned tons from him

keywesmoke · Jun 2, 2007

never seen him. is he still on Food Network? What's his show called?

watery eyes · Jun 2, 2007

I'll take Alton over Rachel Ray and Emril any day....... *yeesh*

gypsyseagod · Jun 2, 2007

it's called "justin wilson's looking back" on rfd channel- thats the livestock & farm channel here.

domn8_ion · Jun 2, 2007

Alton over Rachael, never. But Justin had some stories I'll never forget.

lisacsco · Jun 2, 2007

if your talking about Alton Brown, his show is called 'Good Eats'.

Alton Brown did a great show last night...
