Alton Brown is at it again. This time he's riding his BMW motorcycle up "River Road," loosely following a path from the Mississippi Delta in Louisiana to where the mighty Mississippi can be waded across. All the while, the Food Channel (thank you cable TV!) documents his many culinary escapades and exploits.
His first series, simply "Feasting On Asphalt," involved a coast to coast ride eating everything from pig brains to coffee. He is a tad intellectual (if you've ever seen his show "Good Eats" or heard his commentary on "Iron Chef America," you'd understand why), but he's witty and sometimes a little sarcastic.
Case in point (first episode, season 2): Alton was discussing the making of head cheese with a Louisiana shop owner and observed that cooking pig heads was no longer legal. Alton remarked sarcastically, "What is this country coming to?" whereupon the shop owner promptly hung his head in shame.
Guess you had to be there.
