Having just fairly recently moved to Seattle from a city which had an incredible doughnut shop, I am sadly disappointed to not yet find a decent doughnut shop.

...I also mentioned this because I think Serious Eats might be based in Seattle - am I right about that?

Psst seriouseats! Loving my time catching up on the video segments, but the link here for 'Chewing the Fat: Alton Brown on Race, Class, and Food' just takes you back to this page.

AB's remarks about food &/or food establishments that steadfastly do not change with the times having loyal customers is exactly why I go to Barney Greengrass.

Thank you! I, too, would chose Alton Brown as number one on my list of people who inspire people about food, cooking, etc. I love his Feasting on shows, motorcycles, boats, and next rails--I live in NJ where we have lost the ma and pa stores in favor of generic Starbucks and Panera bread stores. For Donuts, it's only Dunkin Donuts and MAYBE Krispy Kremes in Bergen county and those maybe me sick to my stomach. I think one of the posters missed Mr. Brown's meaning about "eating bark". With so many bad things going on and changes in life, there is something very comforting about the place and the PEOPLE--it's not the food.

Opening music reminds me a lot of Rush's The Analog Kid!

Love Vodoo Doughnuts in Portland OR!! The maple w/bacon are outstanding along with a bunch of other unusual flavors and vegan doughnuts too. It is literally a tiny hole in the wall in downtown and they really do hold weddings there!! Very Portland!!

I love AB! There was a corner bakery near my grandparents that had the same donuts forever till it closed when the owner died. You could get that box of assorted donuts. I recall when I was a child the thrill of grandpop bringing me the cream donut because it was my favorite. Fresh and loaded with cream. I don't like cream donuts anymore. Why? Because not one I have had since 1977 can compare to that one. I sitll take a nibble now and then just to see and still nothing as good.
Great memories there.

What is it about donuts? Saturday mornings with my father going into Mister Donut and buying me and my brother a big ole chocolate milk and a "bowtie". He always got a coffee and an "old fashioned cake". I thought my father knew everyone in town from the people he would say hello to. Then before we would go to some far off hockey game or little league baseball tournament my brother and I were in, he would always get us one for the road... Thanks Dad!

Thank You SE! I love AB and I love his feasting shows, probably because they are less food science and more his take on how people and food interact. I think AB would have made a great sociologist.

Alton is something of hero to me, so it pains me that you felt this video was the best segment from the interview. I wasn't sure if his message was that "bad food served in well established institutions is 'good' for America's mental health" or "that while some places make good donuts, good donuts add more....well just more to your mid-section." I think I'd much rather hear about the proper specific gravity of frying oil for donuts or some other food science topic.
