I just got here and what do I see but a brush with Alton Brown. I love Alton Brown! He may be a bit of a geek but I love geeks. Even my non cooking husband (a geek, too) likes to watch his shows.
Like you, I would have eavesdropped shamelessly. And said hello, etc. on the way out as you did. But I might have been tempted to add that his plastic adjustable measuring cups that I got for Christmas absolutely REEK. LMBO..ok, I'll tell him next time I see him (yeah sure). I just gave them away to charity, they wre so irritating.  His kosher salt container is great, though. What's that? Wanna send a link? I just use those shakers like you put Parmesan cheese in for my kosher salt..never got the hang of a pinch dropping out of the air above.
My closest brush to fame came a few years ago when we were on a NW flight with the Big Bad Voodoo Daddies. I spoke to one of them to tell him where there was available overhead storage for his hatbox. He thanked me. I replied, "Glad to help an artist," so he would know I knew who he was. Cute....Kandee

Ooo... I just saw this Kandee. I have the BIGGEST crush on him. We love him at our house. My dad has actually worked with him, Alton works with GE occasionally and my dad is in charge of their PR. Dad says he's a nice guy.

That is sooo cool. The funny thing is I just finished watching the show(Good Eats), then came back to the computer and decided to check out the recipe exchange and there was your post. The first time I saw the show I thought it and Alton were too weird, but since then I actually enjoy it. I love learning anything new about cooking.
You're so lucky!

I know, I know--there is just something about men that have a passion for something in life (other then themselves) that make them more attractive...and even more so if they COOK! We love him at our house. My dad has actually worked with him, Alton works with GE occasionally and my dad is in charge of their PR. Dad says he's a nice guy. He certainly seemed so, and I got the feeling I could have interrupted long before I did and we could have had quite a nice chat.
Guess this means you HAVE to come to the Fall Sprawl this year...you just never know who you might bump into on the monorail. I think because it is so much faster and easier than the cabs and limos that a lot of stars may just decide to hop them to get around. Kandee
