My problem is that so many things people can get if they live in other areas we don't have here.
Guess that's how local dishes and local food customs got started due to what's available in that region. Like here... you have a lot of seafood, pork, veggie and fruit dishes. There are chicken dishes, but no where in the amount of seafood and pork and I can't even think of one local beef dish.

One thing to remember, that if he does a show in one area, you might not have the items he is using, but if he does a show in your area, others will not have the items he is using, like getting fresh bing cherries will not happen in Southern Texas, just as fresh out of the ocean jumbo brown shrimp will not happen in North Dakota. I hope his new show takes into account a lot of locations and is mixed so we don't have it all in one area at once.

Yes I can see how it would get frustrating for people who watch the show and want to do the things he is showing only to find out they can't get things locally from 99% of the shows. He's a smart cookie though, he will probably take that into consideration.

Science-savvy chef Alton Brown has announced that future episodes of his hit Food Network show Good Eats will include discussions about sustainable and local food choices. Brown said he decided to make the change after noticing that many of his biggest fans were packing some extra pounds from following the typical American diet that his shows often promote.

So he had more overweight people come out for the booksigning? Most of America is overweight according to the 'charts'...I'd rather have a little extra than be a stick person.
Perhaps he's also doing it for himself as well. (We don't need to count the number of fat jokes. :P )
I kinda like this because it sounds like a cross between Good Eats & Feasting.
