I really enjoyed watching Alton Brown on "hot ones", he was cool and composed the entire way through, actually had critique of the flavors and why they didn't work well, he never complained about the spiciness of the food,, but had a nuanced and appreciative evaluation of what was occurring in his mouth.
The algo recommended this chuckleheads appearance on hot ones next, he went full schtick with it, I don't think I got hallway through before getting tired of it.
I enjoy seeing him humble (how to cook eggs), or humbled (James May head to head), but I don't like his manic energy and crass style of criticism delivery.
Thank you for this recommendation!
I don't watch a lot of hot ones, but his is shoulder above heads better than any other episode of 'hot ones' I've seen. There have been other good episodes, but for a sauce/flavor breakdown Alton Brown does it phenomenally
I watched it last night and the way he was just like, "oh, nice use of ginger", "too much cilantro", and "I can fix this!!" was great! He wasn't focusing on the heat, he was focusing on the taste and it was great!
It's amazing to me that he can separate the discomfort from the quality, I went into the other "chefs"that have done the show looking for similar evaluation, and I've been disappointed every time. Alton Brown is truly another level of professional, I need to re rewatch good eats.
