I’m Just Here For The Autograph
Attention fans of Good Eats!. Mark your calendars, people. TV-show host and kitchen geek extraordinaire Alton Brown will be making an in-store appearance here in lovely downtown Metairie, where parking is free and left turns are legal! He will be at the Barnes and Noble Booksellers (3721 Veterans Memorial Blvd., Metairie, LA 70002) on Monday, January 31st to sign and talk about his new book, I’m Just Here For More Food.
The event starts at 7:30pm and may last about an hour, according to a worker at B&N.
If you don’t know who Alton Brown is, you can check out his website to learn all about him. He makes one of the most interesting and entertaining cooking shows on the Food Network, always offering an insider’s education about the history and processes involved in whatever food item each episode may feature. I think he’s a hoot. Dmentd is so enamored he’ll probably give AB a big smooch right on the kisser. It may not be too early to get in line at the store, Dmentd (“No sleeping in line, no sleeping in line.”).
MissyG claims she used to think AB was cute, but I think he went way too far into geekdom for her and turned her off with a few shows. (Was it that one with the Castaway theme, M?) I’ll stick with Rachel Ray, myself, from the two shows 30 Minute Meals and $40-a-Day. Now, if I could just find out when SHE’S going to be in town, I’d definitely give her forty dollars…
(short silence, followed by the sound of MissyG’s hand whacking me in the back of the head)
