Given the
popularity of the second-season opener of The Next Iron Chef, I figured it was a good time to pull out this interview I did with the show's host,
Alton Brown, at the network's TCA party in July. It was definitely the tastiest party of the tour, as each
Iron Chef contestant plied the critics with delectable morsels of their creativity at various stations.
In a bit of a surprise, one of the contestants,
Amanda Freitag, was being assisted by her friend
Ariane Duarte, one of the more popular contestants from rival program
Top Chef's New York season (I was so flabbergasted by the turn of events,
I snapped a pic of the two with my cell phone). When I pointed this tidbit out to Brown, his response was very interesting...

Over the last two years Food Network's Alton Brown has taken to America's roads less traveled in the Feasting on Asphalt series in order to find the little known jewels that were left behind as the Interstates began to rule the country. Along the way, Alton and his crew dined on alligator, various pieces of pig that are not normally consumed by the general public, sweet bread sandwiches, and lots and lots of doughnuts. Now, filled with fried dough and cow brains, Alton has decided to get off of his motorcycle and see what other delicacies are out there in warm waters of the Caribbean.

The Food Network is making headlines lately! They have not renewed Emeril Lagasse's nightly
Live show and recently declined carrying Mario Batali's new series. So, who does the Food Network want? Apparently, they want
Alton Brown who they just signed to a three year deal. Brown will continue to host
Iron Chef America, continue to produce and host his show
Good Eats, and he's getting a new show called
Feasting on Waves (a follow-up to
Feasting on Asphalt).
Why so much Alton? The Food Network is aggressively pushing for a younger audience. Bob Tuschman, Senior VP, said that their campaign is working citing that the average age of the network's audience dropped from 50 in 2003 to 46 in 2007. Wow, what a big drop! (Note the sarcasm.)
