Move over, Alton
I would buy this man’s cookbook in a heartbeat. This is perhaps unsurprising, as I’ve bought damn near everything else he’s ever written, including a compilation of columns I’d already read elsewhere and at least two different versions of a Transmet trade, not realizing that the second one was a compilation of two I already owned. But still.
And now I want to come up with a recipe of some kind where I can use the phrase “first, trepan the onion.”
Those recipies sound good, even if the writing was trying a little too hard. And don’t count Alton out – the man’s Feasting On Waves show has convinced my wife to sail away to the islands with me, which is a trick since she can’t swim. Also, he’s conned Food Network to pay for him and all his friends to go on vacation not once, but twice.

Three times.
He did two Feasting on Asphalt seasons (one east coast to west coast, and one down (or was it up?) the Mississippi).
