Chewing the Fat: Alton Brown on Race, Class, and Food

As an AfAm woman trying to bring some of her friends and family away from the "slave food" mentality, I definitelythink that race and class (which are often interlinked) is the most dominant factor in food selection.

But that doesn't mean that we can't all learn from each other and grow in our food expertise. If you don't know how to cook a good pot of grits, you are not a good cook. No matter how many other fancy schmancy dishes you can make!

Chewing the Fat: Alton Brown on Race, Class, and Food

AB's persona on the show--two parts science professor, one part smart alec--is a lot of fun to watch, but it's far more interesting to listen to him talk candidly here about food issues that interest him.

And he's right. Although I dip into a lot of recipes from multiple cultures, when I cook comfort food you can tell immediately that my ancestors were Dutch and Swedish immigrants. I instinctively reach for spices my great-grandma would have approved, and I can't lay out a cold cut tray without trying to compose it a bit, thanks to my grandfather.
