Like most avid Food Network fans, I have long admired the work of
Alton Brown. His trademark show
Good Eats began airing in 1999 and is still wowing audiences with its savvy combination of food science, humor, and excellent recipes. He now has several other projects under way, including gigs on
Iron Chef America and
The Next Iron Chef, as well as publishing the
Good Eats books. We chatted with him about what he's up to these days.
