I caught this in the newspaper over the weekend and see that our Slashfoodies are all over it as well. More travel TV is about to be
dished up from the Food Network crew as Alton Brown gears up for a new trip
and tell-all tasting show. The host of the Food Network’s Good
Eats will star in a new program about a coast-to-coast motorcycle trip that has him tasting his way across the
country sampling the colorful cuisine of America’s Heartland. His website’s Recipe for Adventure
design is looking very road-trippy, but no mention of the new show to be found. The “working title”
according to the Food Network is Feasting on Asphalt. Works for me, but no word yet on when he’ll hit
the pavement or his exact route. Food Network says Route 66, but USA Today reported Highway 50. One thing we
do know is that Alton will be shooting more Iron Chef episodes in January 2006, but no news yet on when this
new show will surface. We’ll be sure to check in with Slashfood to find
out!
