Alton, Alton, He's Our Man...

July 29 on Food Network - Alton's new show, Feasting on Asphalt. I will be in Florida, but my DVR will be set. What new treasures will he unearth? One can only imagine...

A peek at Food Network's Feasting on Asphalt section:
What is Feasting on Asphalt?
Alton Brown’s cross-country search for the nation’s best road food.

Where is Alton Brown going?
Georgia, Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Utah, Nevada, California and more.

How is he going to get there?
On a motorcycle. "Why a motorcycle? As far as I’m concerned, there’s no better way to experience the road than from the back of a bike. Being exposed to the elements presents thrills and challenges alike, most of which can’t be captured in a ‘cage’ (that’s what motorcycle people call cars)," says Alton.

What will Alton eat?
Every kind of road food available--from foraging in the forest (grubs are great protein) to camp cooking (think Lewis and Clark) to diners, truck stops and even the corporate fast food chains. Alton also intends to eat (and cook) in nifty regional joints, churches, community centers, VFW halls, RV parks and the homes of folks nice enough to offer a weary traveler a meal.

But will there be recipes? Our perhaps, down the road, a tour guide? (Fodor's, are you listening?)

I just watched the Good Eats episodes on won ton skins (Wanton Ways) and Waffles (The Waffle Truth). I may never purchase prepared food again. I'll letcha know how the potstickers and the waffles come out.

Actually, Chris made a good suggestion - now I'm considering having a Battlestar Galactica season premiere party (Friday, October 6 - mark your calendars, kiddies) to display my culinary prowess. Any takers?
