Chewing the Fat: Alton Brown on Luxembourg Noodles
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.
I'd never even heard of Luxembourg noodles until Alton Brown shared this story with us, but I sure do love the idea of noodles, crackers, and butter.
The Feasting on Asphalt DVDs are available at Foodnetwork.com and the book is available at Amazon.com.

Ok regular readers. How many times have I mentioned crummy or crumby noodles???? It's a long-time family favorite. I use PA Dutch egg noodles, melt butter, mix in saltine crumbs and toss into cooked noodles. Now I have Alton to prove they are incredibly simple and delicious. I feel vindicated.

Ha ha! I have my scissors ready, just in case. I prefer the short locks he had when this video was shot. ;-D
Seriously, this is so much better than the sum of its three parts. Nobody can even believe it. I like our name of Crummy Noodles better - surprises people in a good way. Of course, Alton's is made with homemade noodles and they are sauteed in butter, so it is a little more gourmet, but only a little. Try it, you'll like it - what's not to like?

I've got to try this!
Wish these interviews were a wee bit longer! :)

I'm thinking that the saltines in the noodles is a cousin to the idea of putting buttered breadcrumbs on top of noodle dishes. My mother never did that, and the first time I heard of it, I thought it made no sense. I mean, you're garnishing noodles with the leavened and baked version of themselves. But it works.
