I awoke to some extremely disconcerting tweets from Alton Brown thismorning. Apparently a low-life bunglehole decided to create a Twitteraccount trying to pass itself (I'm using "it" because this scum is notworthy of being considered human) as AB's wife. In his replies back tothis frog-toed nutjob, it was very clear the event rattled AB. Sincethe offender's account is now gone, there's not a trace of what wastweeted.
Not really knowing what happened overnight I,too, wasjust saddened and upset by AB's tweets to this creep. Immediately, mymothering instincts kicked in and I wanted to show AB support anyway Icould. Right now, if he's off Twitter for good, then he won't see thegood and supportive things many, many of his true and admiring fanshave sent. I sent AB a virtual hug in one and this:

Right on Q: The Review

It is only fitting, to me at least, that Alton Brown would chose to feature barbecue as topic for the first of the final one-hour long Good Eats specials. For me, if not watching that first episode on smoked salmon oh so many years ago I would have never ventured into the magical world that is barbecue. Therefore, as this long time fan sadly bids Good Eats adieu I am reminded of what AB and the show have given so many over the years--strong culinary know how, sound science and... you know the drill.
Working from his normal modus operandi, AB first told of the history and etymology of barbecue. Surprising how many ways it is used, noun, verb, adjective. And as all Good Eats fans should know, the method of cooking meat in this manner comes from the native people of the Caribbean and the Europeans "discovery" of the lands.When it comes to producing great barbecue as Alton said, it all comes down four basic things: heat, smoke, meat and time. Anyone who enjoys smoking meat knows how crucial time is to produce quality Q.

Alton Brown does not suck

A few weeks ago I had a wonderful idea to do something for Alton Brown to show him how much his fans appreciate his work, especially all of the years of Good Eats. Also, to wish him well on the new project. And now, to help him see the Internet can be used for good, not just bad things.
Figuring AB would rather for us to give back than to give to him, I surmised something to Heifer International would be great.
The best gift to give? Well, why not a heifer!Yes! A heifer to Heifer International to thank Alton for everything!Now, this where I need your help. A heifer costs $500. So if enough of us ban together then accumulating the amount would be simple.
Also, it would be great to tell Alton, in person, we got him a cow as a thank you present for the years of Good Eats and our appreication. If we could get the money before October 5, that would even more awesome because I could show him all of the folks who helped out. And have a thank you card with it!
Please give something to cause, a small thank you for anything you've learned thanks to Good Eats and AB.

Attention Alton Brown fangirls and people interested in Next Iron Chef
To contact us Click HERE
I just found this publicity photo of Alton Brown for the Next Iron Chef, which debuts on October 30 at 9 p.m. EST on Food Network. While I'm strictly informing everyone of the upcoming series, I have to include a nice little photo of AB.According to a FN press release the first episode, entitled“Primal: Heat and Meat,” is described as:
In the much-anticipated season premiere of The Next Iron Chef, ten of the most respected chefs in the culinary world take a trip to the middle of nowhere, where their primal instincts are put to the test. Split into five teams, the chefs arrive to a bare bones set-up and supply depot, where they must create a makeshift cooking station and build a fire in order to whip up an Iron Chef worthy meal. Using only basic tools including cinder blocks, metal skewers, flat iron and stacks of wood, this challenge tests the resourcefulness of the contestants in extreme conditions. After a deliberation from the judges, the least successful duo battles it out in the first-ever Secret Ingredient Showdown. After a grueling challenge, only one of the two chefs will live to battle another day for the coveted Next Iron Chef title.See the real reason I'm happy about the press kit by clicking here. :)
A funny thing happened at the Serve and Protect event

Last Thursday's Serve and Protect event for the Tennessee Aquarium was my 13th Alton Brown event. Yeah, lucky 13. I'm not that superstitious, however after the whole summer of AB being on Twitter and crap with things there, and reason for writing and flack he received for the Fanifesto, I was a bit nervous attending this one.
The evening started off with an odd incident. I was in the Aquarium's office purchasing a copy of Good Eats 3 to beat the rush later at the gift shop and after securing said copy I turned to exit the room. At that moment, a group of people came through the room from the stairwell. As I turned, I almost ran into one them. Then I realized it was Jim, Alton's assistant. He stepped back and I stepped forward and at that moment I looked up to see none other than Mr. Brown looking right at me!
He looked a bit surprised. And I know I did as well. He said, "After you." I giggled and and said, "Are you sure you want me to go in front of you?"He tipped his head, extended his arm and said, "Yes ma'am." I giggled like a schoolgirl and went ahead of him and the group. As I thought about it, I wasn't certain if Alton didn't know me or was just surprised that we ran into each other in the office. I know I was extremely surprised.
