ham, swiss cheese, good mustard
Dinner Tonight: Onion Soup
I've tried this recipe and it is fantastic. I made a couple of slight changes though. I didn't count the number of times I deglazed(it was more than 3) but I deglazed a couple of times with apple cider, and once with white wine. I find these additions enhance the flavor of the soup greatly.

Win Your Thanksgiving Turkey!
I'm going totally unorthodox. I plan to disassemble the turkey and do the dark meat as a confit the day before. And do the the white meat sous vide. I've really enjoyed my sous vide experiments, why not do it with turkey. I have a small turkey with which I will test these methods this weekend before the big event.

they start as stock which then becomes gravy.

turkey leg confit.

I absolutely love turkey sandwiches, but they have to be made correctly. I take some good white bread and spread on a liberal layer of mayo. I usually make homemade mayo just for this occasion. Sometimes I add bacon and/or lettuce. Now I'm getting hungry...

Steingarten on Hamburgers: More Than a Mouthful
Very interesting, but I have a related question. Suppose you are grinding your own meat or having the butcher do it for you. How many times should it be passed through the grinder? I've heard once to 4 or 5 times. Does Steingarten(or anyone else) have anything to say about how many times it should be ground?
Steingarten on Hamburgers: More Than a Mouthful
Adding any subset of "bleu cheese, chopped olives, onions or mushrooms, bbq or steak sauce, or catsup, worstershire, chipotle tabasco sauce"
to ground meat results in meatloaf, not a hamburger.
Steingarten on Hamburgers: More Than a Mouthful
Pattyplus,
If you think adding cream to the meat results in a Stroganoff flavor, surely you've noticed that adding the strongly flavored veggies and sauces you cite (bleu cheese, chopped olives, BBQ or steak sauce, or catsup-worstershire) results in meatloaf, not a burger.
Bread labeled 'whole grain' steps on the flavor of whatever is between the bread or buns. Most supermarket 'whole grain' bakery items are not truly whole grain (as opposed to those heavy German loaves) and with only slight increases in nutritional value. But pursuing nutrition over flavor leads to a land far from the the joys of hamburgerdom.
Alton Brown on 'The Next Iron Chef'
I DO watch HBO and enjoy it very much--as I enjoy FN and I think the point is, we don't expect Alton to use the F-word because he is always seems so articulate--"oh, bother" rather than what most of us would say--it's kind of like hearing your parents say the F-word--you don't expect it so it's kind of funny. And it's just a word.
Fortune Cookies: Made in Japan? Like Pizza? Your Weirdest Fortune?
My mom got a fortune that read, "Promote literacy, eat more fortune cookies." And the sad thing is that she is an English teacher.
Fortune Cookies: Made in Japan? Like Pizza? Your Weirdest Fortune?
maered: IMHO, you are the winner! Nobody would dare say it, but what perfect advice for any new bride.
LoCo: We do something similar - our phrase is, "That's what the girl said to the sailor." Can get darn funny with a group, especially with a little alcohol thrown in. In any casual situation. Yours definitely works best with fortunes, though. I'm laughing.
Fortune Cookies: Made in Japan? Like Pizza? Your Weirdest Fortune?
We had our wedding dinner at a Chinese restaurant (we were broke) and my fortune cookie read: Hope for the best, prepare for the worst.
17 years later ... I still have the husband and the fortune too.
Fortune Cookies: Made in Japan? Like Pizza? Your Weirdest Fortune?
I got one that said: "The number three."
I keep every one of my fortune cookie slips. The early ones were in this tiny 1 inch diameter decorative clay pot. When that got full, I started putting them in the large pink plastic see-through piggy bank that I got as a holiday party gift. That hasn't gotten full yet.
Fortune Cookies: Made in Japan? Like Pizza? Your Weirdest Fortune?
When I was in high school, a friend of mine was deployed during Desert Storm. I made him homemade fortune cookies and put fortunes like "Don't look a gift camel in the mouth," and "If you lay down with camels, you'll get up with sand fleas." They were great comic relief and I had a blast making them.

Best I ever got was "You like to eat Chinese food"

A recent one that's still sitting on my desk:
Avoid the opposite sex today.
Yeah, right!
And then just for emphasis, the 'Learn Chinese' word on the back:
Still single-mae yao jeh huan
Can't make these up!!

most nonsensical: "here we go. moo shu cereal for breakfast. with duck sauce."
favorite: "a nice cake is waiting for you."

^^^Wow, a tad judgmental aren't we? Please come back and add a comment when you climb down from your high horse.
Great interview, love Alton.
