                        The cooking god that is Alton

Today was pretty much an Alton [1] day. I've introduced Bunny to the wonders
of Alton Brown and his show Good Eats [2]. We made his very basic bread [3]
(which ended up a bit dense—I think due to not finding the right type of
yeast) which ended up very good (despite the wrong type of yeast) and his
hamburger recipe [4] which was, as Bunny put it, “the best hamburger I've
ever tasted” (and it's a very simple recipe).

We also watched his new show Feasting on Asphalt [5], which is a very
interesting look at American restaurants off the main Interstate highway (and
by god I want the soundtrack to that show—the main theme has earwormed its
way into my brain in in this case, that's not a bad thing). Just watching
Alton's reaction of pickeled pigs feet or a brain sandwich is just priceless
(“Amazing thing about [the pickeled pigs feet]—I'm no longer hungry!”).
