Behold! This photo was taken in connection with Michelle Obama’s upcoming appearance on the Iron Chef television show, at which time she will reveal the “secret ingredient” that the competing chefs have to use in order to make a “meal for America.” (Her husband’s culinary specialty for a “meal for America” is, of course, the shit sandwich.) Pictured from left to right are: Alton Brown...

Every year I brine my turkey. I saw Alton Brown do it and I was fascinated. Since Thanksgiving is always at my house, I decided that I could make some executive decisions and do something different. For the past three years I have been brining my turkey and I have to say that it comes out tastey and moist. I wouldn't change it unless my husband decided to get one of those turkey fryers...

The Grand Tasting . It sounds important, it looks overwhelming, and involves a lot of wine and food. My first experience was that Saturday Morning's Grand Tasting, directly after the Alton Brown book signing. Note for Future Grand Tastings: make sure you pick up your wine glass, there are very few other ways to partake in the imbibing. On that thought, make sure you plan out your drinks;...

I'm doing my Thanksgiving turkey on the grill this year, and I decided to go with Alton Brown's Honey-Brined Smoked Turkey (an adapted recipe's on SE under the Thanksgiving tab). I've been a user of propane (and propane accessories) until...

So Michelle is on Iron Chef? Lastdaisys, perhaps, but the fotos are worth the price of perdition. See the first lady throw some richly-deserved shade on Alton Brown, and perform the miracle of harmonizing her outfit with Mario's clogs:

Sometimes you just can't get too much information, particularly when you're shopping online. I've been researching some kitchen purchases lately, and I've spent a lot of time cross-referencing equipment recommendations from Alton Brown with tests by Consumer Reports and reviews...

... that seems quite empty to me. Cooks are funny people. They have this awe of "food science." If Alton Brown or Harold McGee said something with the word "protein" in it, it seals the deal. After all, science is always right. Well, that's not really science to me. That's just regurgitation of something someone said. Real science is all about setting up a proper experiment with good...

... females, chef Nigella Lawson , actress Jane Seymour , and swimmer Natalie Coughlin . Longtime host Alton Brown provides his usual enthusiastic commentary. Over the past year the White House garden has spent plenty of time in the spotlight and I'm excited to get a better look at it on Iron Chef . How about you? Will you tune in?

Hellur, food lovers. We decided to watch and recap the action as Chicago's Paul Virant competes on Iron Chef America. After the standard opening montage in which we meet the Chairman, we are introduced to Bobby Flay (*coughdouchecouch*), Masaharu Morimoto, Mario Batali (Croc lovah!), Cat Cora, and Michael Symon (gigglehead). Then we get to meet the challenger, Chef Virant. Alton Brown...

... Not only did Appleman not win, he found himself up for elimination: "The Next Iron Chef" host Alton Brown held one plane ticket in his hand as he stood in front of Appleman and chef Seamus Mullen to deliver the news. One of the chefs would be going home. Appleman seemed certain it wouldn't be him: "Alton is holding one ticket. ... I think it has my name on it." I didn't think...

... powder, extra salt, and some ground seeds. These crackers are especially good with dips. We made Alton Brown's version of lavash--a crispy Middle Eastern bread-cracker. I like lavash and this was an easy recipe to follow. I think lavash is really good served with things like soups or stews, or even salads. It doesn't have much flavor on its own, so it compliments heavily spiced foods...

... man crush on Mr. Jacobs. (If we ever get a car named after a food, we’ll probably be tailing Alton Brown.) For those unfamiliar with this $27 million blatant disregard for scientific knowledge, it is dedicated to demonstrating that the earth is about 6000 years old, according to a literal interpretation of the Bible. If we are willing to suspend disbelief, the museum’s premise results...
