Chewing the Fat: Alton Brown on Eating with Strangers
When I made a list of interesting people I wanted to interview on camera for a series called Chewing the Fat, Alton Brown was at the top of the list. I have always found Alton to be interesting, provocative, smart, and funny, so we were thrilled when Alton agreed to do it. Who did we get to shoot, direct, and edit the Alton videos? None other than Hamburger America director and author George Motz.

This webisode finds Alton musing about what's it like when he's on the road shooting, talking, and eating with strangers. As he says, food connects all of us. Much food for thought, Alton.
The Feasting on Asphalt DVDs are available at Foodnetwork.com and the book is available at Amazon.com.

Spot on, Alton. There's nothing nicer than making friends from strangers over a good hot meal.

This one may be my favorite yet. I definitely agree, food has a power to bring people together.
