I knew I liked Alton Brown, but I couldn’t quite put my finger on the defining reason that made me enjoy watching his shows so much. Now I know… he rides! According to this NY Times article he has a BMW R1200 RT and unfortunately he crashed during his latest project and broke his collarbone. Ouch!
He was working on a mini-series for the Food Network that debuts next month called Feasting on Asphalt… “In a quest to find good eats across the country, Alton Brown embarks on a transient mission to find tasty edibles on the go in a 4-part series about the history of road food (premieres Sat, July 29 at 9 PM ET/PT on Food Network).” And oh yeah, he did it on a bike… up until the accident at least.
I’ll definately be setting the DVR to catch this new show!

One of my favorite restaurants is in the Bryce/Zion area and I think it is called the Thunderbird Cafe, next to a Best Western I think. Home made bread and pies and everything else way great too.
This would be a fun show to watch for those out of the way diners.

I had no idea who he was.
I bet there’s a website somewhere that lists famous people who ride bikes.

Yikes…that accident likely gave a whole new meaning to the name of his show eh?
Glad it wasn’t more serious. I’ll have to check out that show. Stacie 0==(D)
