Alton Brown talks to Google about bow ties, trying to find recipes on Google vs. on the Food Network website, and trying to impress his daughter by blowing things up. (SLYT)

But that's another show

After 249 episodes on a wide variety of ingredients and other cooking related topics, Alton Brown ended Good Eats last week (save for 3 unaired one hour specials). The show leaves behind many unaddressed recipes that were to be in "another show." Aside from Food Network, most episodes of Good Eats can be found on Youtube. In addition, all recipes from the show can be found on Food Network's Good Eats page. Curiously, Alton Brown also got a verified twitter account within a day ago, and announced the ending of Good Eats in his second (now deleted) tweet.

"It’s like the whole slow-foods thing. I still don’t know what the heck that’s about. Food’s either good or it’s bad."

"...it’s not a title, it’s a job. It’s a position in a kitchen. It comes from an old German word that means 'boss' or 'head of the shop.' In which case I am the chef of my operation, but it’s a production company. It’s not a kitchen, even though we do have a kitchen. That’s the closest thing to chef I am. All the good chefs that I know say that they are cooks employed as chef. All the people that say, 'I’m a chef,' generally aren’t. The good ones will say, 'I’m a cook.' Once people start saying, 'I’m Chef Bob!'—yeah, whatever. I’m Captain Kangaroo. Have a nice day". The Onion AV Club interviews Alton Brown. The show's not for everyone, but the recipes sure are.

Alton Ellis, RIP

"The King of Rock Steady," (or "Godfather" as he was sometimes known) Alton Ellis, passed away earlier this month at the age of 70. A romantic at heart with one of my favorite voices, he leaves 20 children two weeks after finally receiving royalties for the Sean Paul song "Still in Love With You". In tribute to a life well lived: Interview with Alton and Horace Andy. (sorry, but there's a lot of records turning in this youtubery...) Alton interview "I'm Still in Love With You" "Deliver Us" "Why Birds Follow Spring" "Cry Tough" "Rock Steady" "Remember That Sunday" (with Phyllis Dillon) "Black Man's Pride" (live in 1983) Soul Sides has a few mp3s
