My Favorite Food Network Star � Alton Brown

When people hear I�m a Chef (or at least that I play one on the internet), they always ask the same two questions. What kind of food do you cook? And, who�s your favorite TV Chef? The first question�s one I can never answer, since I cook everything I can get my hands on. I never understand that first question, and usually give some smart-ass response like, �edible foods� or �the kind you buy at the market.� The second question is easy; Alton Brown. His sense of humor, his entertaining delivery, and his scientific (yet simple) approach to food is what really makes me such a big fan. Besides, his jokes and puns are almost as bad as mine!

Here is a short, and I think inspirational, interview he did on the Big Idea recently. It�s an interesting look behind the man and his show, Good Eats. Enjoy.
