Just saw in my TV listings that Alton is supposed to be a guest on tonight's episode of Mythbusters.  Seems like a good match, style-wise, between Mythbusters and Good Eats.

Alton is apparently becoming a columnist for Mental Floss magazine., he's on the cover of the issue that I saw on the racks last week and though I didn't read the entire article, I got the impression that he's going to be a regular contributor ( Read more... )

I'm really interested in the rendered fat more than the bacon, though I'll certainly use it for omelets and other things, I use the fat for browning meat in stews and chilis for adding flavor.

Hey everyone~

I'm giving away a signed copy of Good Eats: The Early Years on my site to celebrate AB's up coming birthday.
Alton personally signed this book for to to giveaway to readers of the site.  It is nothing short of awesome because he wrote: To No one in particular. And put a big AB cartoon guy on it!
