Alton Brown + Miller Lite?

Say it ain't so, AB!

indeed

Who?

He is only the host of Good Eats which is currently the best cooking show on the planet.

And I really could care less he is plugging Miller Lite. The guy has to earn a living somehow. So long as he keeps bring great Good Eats episodes he could advertise cat food for all I care.

I don't watch food network. *shrug*

I'm sorry. I don't care what he's plugging. He's ALTON BROWN!!!

Miller light aside..did any of you see his mini-series "Feasting on aspahault'? it was brilliant.

I like Miller Lite. A lot.

Yes, it made me love him more. He obviously was also inspired by "Long Way 'Round" which I also loved.


The man is brilliant!!!


Maybe I should start drinking Miller Lite. lol

This is sad; not because Alton Brown is advertising beer, which I believe to be a divine drink inspired by the gods, but because he is sponcering BAD beer! Come on Alton, you can't tell me you'd actually drink that swill! What he should have done, instead, is done a few episodes about microbrewing or something!

he actually has done a homebrew episode.

'Tis true.

Maybe he's on a low carb diet???

I have three of his videos, and his first book.

He's a god.

I have all his real books (I didn't buy that fancy binder) and I download every episode of his off BitTorrent. He defiantly has made be a better cook.

Also if you are a super fan you should check out Good Eats Fan Page. They have links to all the recipes, lists of all the equipment he uses, and a really good forum where you can get great cooking advice.

Oh wow thanks!!

Thanks for that! I was having to look his stuff up on the foodtv site.

If the rest of that display says "Unwrap great taste" I'm going to laugh, then vomit in terror.

Was that the thing where he spilled that bike?
That was kind of funny

yeah he was going up hill and hurt himself..

If it was Miller High Life, I would have been impressed. 'Tis the Champagne of Beers, doncha know.

Oh my, I love me some Alton Brown, but wtf? I can't say that I care too much, but methinks he probably cried a lot during that shoot. And in tribute to this man among men, I present this:

Then, you are free to enjoy your brat with a Guinness.
