Alton Brown's next to last Good Eats episode will premiere this Sunday at 8PM EST. Countdown to T-Day will feature turkey, potatoes, gravy, and pecan pie. As always, Alton has an interesting take on the main dish. This time we are looking at a 4 day dry brine for the Turkey.
Also, Alton will be hosting the live Food Network Thanksgiving show this year from noon-2pm EST this Sunday. There is also a pre-game show on FN's website. Get all the information here.
Enjoy the shows and Happy Thanksgiving to all!

On Vacation
Hi All,
I haven't posted in a while due to a few things. First, life has been really hectic lately and family comes first here. Secondly, while I'm a big fan of Alton Brown, I'm more of a fan of his work than of him as a celebrity. I'm eagerly awaiting to see what future projects he's working on, though lately he's been devoting most of his time to speaking engagements and his new book tour.
You can find details for Alton's book tour at his site
Alton has also settled in to Twitter and I've heard he's on Facebook, or at least planning to be, and is off and on with Google+
Thanks as always for stopping by and hopefully I can get some time to do a Good Eats recipe test or two soon; especially with the finale coming soon.

Alton Brown gives Twitter a Second Chance
After storming off in a huff and leaving his fans high and dry on Twitter, Alton Brown appeared out of nowhere today to give Twitter, and perhaps other social media, a second chance. Alton started off with,"Within a week I will not only reinfect twitter but appear miraculously on another social site as well. Watch the skies!" As to other what other social site he mentions we'll have to wait and see. He is already on Google+, so that's two to keep up with now. As for Facebook, I can already predict a swift departure like what we saw with Twitter.
While I enjoyed Alton's previous posts on Twitter, it was a bit of a pain when he departed last time since I was flooded with messages on Twitter and email about why he left. I really hope he sticks it out this time. I also hope he keeps up with the posts on his own website since we get a lot more interesting information there.
You can follow Alton on Twitter : @AltonBrown, or my postings there @AltonBrownNews

Interview with Alton Brown: Good Eats wrap up, future projects, etc.
Hi all, sorry I've been away for a while. Lots of family activities, new carpet, a business trip, a car hit-and-run (no worries), and even a garage sale wedged in there. *whew!*
I just read a wonderful interview by Rodney Ho with Access Atlanta regarding Alton Brown's wrap up of Good Eats and some of his upcoming projects with Food Network. There's some really good information in there, such as a new FN series on food history, an e-book project AB is working on, and even mention of some of our favorite GE characters returning for the Thanksgiving special. Enjoy!
Alton has several upcoming book signings coinciding with the release of the final volume of the Good Eats trilogy. You can find dates and locations listed on his site here.
Speaking of Alton's site; AB has been publishing some greats posts in his Notebook section. As most of you know, there was some fallout on Twitter recently and AB has quit. It was fun for a while to see AB's train of thoughts and what he is up to, but in there end I think keeping to his own site has produced better content despite losing contact with his fans. I won't get into the gossip there. *update* Darcy was so kind as to let me know Alton is posting regularly on Google+ now.
Once school kicks off after Labor Day I'll start putting together some more info with the book signings and other appearances Alton has been, and will be, making around the country.
Thanks for stopping by,
Rich

New Good Eats Special: Right on Q
One of the final Good Eats episodes will be airing this Saturday at 8:00pm. Right on Q is an hour long special featuring smoked pork. Really looking forward to this one!
A couple more updates in the world of Alton Brown:
Alton has been posting quite regularly on Twitter. @altonbrown I still am keeping up the @altonbrownnews ID for posting events and info; plus AB has nearly quit Twitter once already. We'll see how things pan out in the coming months.
Alton Brown's website has undergone a makeover. It's not 100% complete, but it's about damn time for a refresher. He does have a 'notebook' section, but the site is really lacking in fan info, such as book tours, speaking engagements, new shows, etc. It's looking like I may need to get back to updating this site and Twitter more often.
If you are still enjoying this site and want me to continue posting from time to time please feel free to drop a comment. I know there is still a lot of traffic, especially on older recipe review posts, so I do feel somewhat guilty for not pushing forward as the regular Good Eats series retired.
As always, thanks for stopping by,
