Road Tasted
Ubiquitous
"Join fun-loving brothers Jamie and Bobby Deen (sons of Paula Deen) as they
hit the road and cross the country in search of the best local, hand-crafted
foods. Armed with wit, ingenuity and a passion for all things food, the Deen
boys offer a fresh, fun look at the specialty stores and family run
businesses that make one-of-a-kind edibles. Plus, they'll show you how to
get all these foods delivered to your door. So, come along for the ride!
Tasty rewards await at the end of the road, but half the fun is getting
there."
Ooh, kinda like "Boys Gone Wild". I wonder if they'll flash us their boobs?

Is there something wrong with the sound in their promo ads? It sounds very
low and fuzzy, like they recorded it on a tape recorder somewhere instead of
doing it in a studio like normal commercials. Is anyone else noticing this?
It just sounds kind of cheap.

God knows they've got 'em.
I refuse to watch this show for hundreds of reasons. The top two are
probably my distaste for nepotism and the boys' total lack of talent.

Plus, Food Network has how many dozen "road trip food" shows already now?

plus he has a good background to draw from.

Paula Deen is the woman on the Food Network who does southern cooking
and loooves butter.

It is simply breathtaking to watch the glee and abandon with which
the liberal media and the Angry Left have been attempting to turn
our military victory in Iraq into a second Vietnam quagmire. Too bad
for them, it's failing.

Remember Jeff Foxworthy's line?

Didn't Alton's show already premier? I thought I saw something with him riding
a motorcycle and discussing "cou try fried steak".

there's still a few weeks to go.

I plan to keep an open mind and watch Road Tasted. And what
background do you need to travel around the country tasting food? I
think the Dean boys are just as qualified as Alton for that, except
that they probably won't spend 30 minutes describing the origins of
cornmeal. Restauranteurs or Bill Nye the science guy....who would you
rather travel with?

Except that has never been Alton Brown's method. He's very
knowledgeable about the science of food, but he depends on food
anthropologists to bring up that kind of data. Plus that sort of
background information only fills up a small portion of his show. Most
of it is focused on preparing the food and cooking it. He just covers
why things work which can be a good thing if you don't have exactly
what he uses because that knowledge will allow you to substitute items
and end up with a proper finished product.
That's the kind of knowledge that I like from Alton Brown. H's got the
cooking training and the knowledge of why things work. So he can talk
intelligently about everything from the simple hotdog you might get at
a hot dog stand to the kind of complex food you might find at a place
like El Bulli. Also I think Alton's got a proper sense of humor as
well as appreciation for food.
The Deen brothers seem nice enough but have they expanded their
horizons beyond southern cooking? Don't get me wrong as I like
southern cooking. A good barbecue makes for a wonderful meal, and I
grew up on fried chicken, and chicken fried steak. I just want to
experience more than that and that's something you can find in the
hole in the wall restaurants as well as the fanciest. Maybe the Deen
brothers have a better background than I think, but they haven't
impressed me in the few times I've seen them.
If I were going on a road trip to sample food from off the beaten path
I have a few people in mind that I would love to take on that trip.
Alton Brown is one because of his breadth of knowledge and his ability
to express that knowledge. Mario Batalli would be another because he
truly loves what he does, has obviously spent a tremendous amount of
time/effort learning and honing his craft and he seems like he would
be a fun guy to hang out with. Rick Bayless would be another choice.
He's another guy that is very knowledgeable about his food, has a
great personality and he's always on the lookout for those hidden
places that serve great food. Finally I would probably choose Anthony
Bourdain. I wouldn't care for the smoking, and would never try to keep
up with his alcohol consumption, but he's a guy that's knowledgeable,
expressive, adventurous and can be quite entertaining. So most of my
choices are restaurateurs but that's too be expected since it's rare
for someone with Alton Brown's training and interest to not actually
be in a kitchen at some restaurant.

The boys have about as much culinary credibility as Dr. Phil's son has
in his "field." Ick.

You mean, "two overweight, undereducated good ole' boys who work in
Mammy's restaurant or a self-made guy with a brain." As Mr. Brown has
shown on Iron Chef America, he doesn't do science all the time.
Dennis
since their personality is better than Rachel Rays. I watch her travel
shows because she isnt cooking but her personality and screeching voice
hurts the show.
Dennis
need to have some sort of affectation. He cant carry it off. This new
show looks like its going to have the same problem: an easy rider approach.

he's got to do something to distract you from the fact that he just
can't cook.

Don't recall the Chopper, but he did just do a Cubed Steak episode of GE.
