Alton Brown reups for another three years

Alton Brown with a handmixerIt is my opinion that Alton Brown is one of the best things about the Food Network these days. Rachael Ray jumped the shark when she teamed up with Oprah and I can not deal with the train wreck that is Sandra Lee. But Alton continually provides great programming that expertly pairs education and entertainment.

He'll continue to produce his fun and informative content for another three years, as today he signed a new contract that will keep him emceeing Iron Chef America and manning the stove at Good Eats. Additionally, he'll be taking his "Feasting on Asphalt" concept to the water with a program called "Feasting on Waves" that will air this summer. In this show, he'll explore the waterways of the Caribbean, eating, joking and exploring in his trademark way. I can't wait!

Alton is really king though, he doesn't just say what to do, he explains why. Not all his recipes are great, but if you watch the episode you learn exactly how to fix them to your tastes.

If you ever get a chance to meet him, do it, as he's as friendly and personable as you'd expect from watching his show. Great guy.

I hope Alton come out with one , he may not have been through a lot but I bet it would be interesting

I miss the old food network. Now the only shows I can watch are Alton and Iron Chef. It appears that even Iron Chef is getting bad lately.
