Alton Brown to be in Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade

I just received my (second to last) copy of Food Network magazine in the mail and was shocked to see Alton Brown in actually in there for once.  He has an article on cooking the perfect turkey and also a recipe for chipotle mashed sweet potatoes, which is recycled from Good Eats: Potato My Sweet.

But wait, there's more!  The exciting little tidbit I noticed at the bottom of one page was that Alton Brown himself will be appearing on the Tom Turkey float in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade!  Now that is a pretty cool honor.
