Saw him at the Eat Your Science tour at the fox theater in detroit. Great fucking show. He got me into cooking as a child with his junkyard coldsmoker episode.

Not sure if serious.

At the show he did a live q&a of tweets if you attached a selfie of you in the theater.

He did in fact have a whole nutmeg in his pocket.

>> No.8631443

Yes. It's one of very few cooking shows that actually tries to teach people how to cook (demonstrating the purpose behind techniques and ingredients) instead of just showing visual recipes.

>>8630691
I would watch the shit out of a Jeff Goldbum cooking show. It would probably be even more entertaining that the Christopher Walken cooking videos.

Alton Brown got me into cooking, so I figured I'd revisit the show when it was on Cooking Channel over the weekend.

Ho-lee-Shit! What a fucking trainwreck. Dad-humor aside (some good, some bad) but the fucking techniques and recipes. Watching the chili episode
>"Here are the fresh peppers, but fuck that they get bad and take up too much room in the saddle bag! Use only canned!"
>Onions? Tomatoes? Nix that, what is salsa if not onions and tomatoes?
>Thickening with masa? What are crunched up tortilla chips if not corn flower?
>Cut the meat into tennis-ball-sized chunks, sear the meat, throw all the shit in the pan, and wait for 20 minutes

Wa La!


The only worse ones I see, the shitshow Food Network turned into nonwithstanding, are PBS with Sarah's Weeknight Meals which are NOT weeknight fare, or sometimes not even meals. And the bitch has a personal crusade to dirty up every fucking dish in the kitchen while making the simplest of dishes. Or the now-senile Jacque Pepin who has to each episode fry large chunks of whatever he has laying around and putting it in an omelette.


The only one worth watching are a select few PBS like America's Test Kitchen, or the New Orleans guy, or Diner's Drive-Ins and Dives. DDD is probably the best cooking show on cable tv, and definitely not because of the host, but because he goes and sees various chefs and they show you what they're cooking up.

If you slop salsa in a pot with corn chips and browned stew meat, then call it chili, you're a fucking retard.

That's basically what it is. It's crap-tier food. You can chop up your own veggies if you want, but it's the same fucking shit.

Pretty sure his episode was about making chili for cheap, too, not an elaborate recipe.

I think he's bit of a perfectionist but, for the most part, I agree with his inputs. Like here he goes on about this poultry shake. Do you need it? No. But it speeds things up. Then he's meticulous about how he positions the chicken on the frying pan and not seasoning the flour since paprika burns. None of this will ruin a meal but it's smart thinking.

Totally agreed. DDD is unironically the best cooking show on television. Guy is money, but the main pull is just actually visiting these restaurants and letting the chefs show off how they make these great dishes.

>tfw Guy Fieri was in town filming for the show and you saw him in a Walmart at 2 in the morning while you were hammered and said "Holy shit Guy Fieri! What's up man?" and he said "Hey hey! Fuck off dude!" and you're disappointed as fuck and you were really hammered and you wake up in the morning not knowing whether it wasn't really Guy or just a lookalike you spotted while drunk, but you'll never figure it out because he definitely was in town filming and you're pondering it to this day on a Uzbekistani knife sharpening board.
