Alton Brown is hitting the highway in 2006 to bring
the food network a new show, Feasting on Asphalt. The show will chronicle Alton’s road trip across the US on Route
66. According to the Food Network,
he will be riding his motorcycle and stopping by “secret hamburger hideaways” and “delicious truck
stop diners.” By adding Alton as the headlining food celebrity on yet another non-cooking travel show, perhaps
the Food Network is trying to convert some of his Good Eats fans to the new network format. Personally, while the food
at some of these places might be good, I don’t think that the “culinary heritage of America” will be
found there. With a good dictionary, the network might discover that “heritage” means an inheritance or
tradition passed down through the generations. It seems unlikely that the country, having been around far longer than
biker bars, would have gotten the bulk of its “good eats” from them.
