That is somewhat a claim to fame for him isn't it?

He is well known for using the brining method for turkeys.

A few years back he did the turkey on one of the FN specials, I was impressed. I think 2005? He certainly wasn't the name on FN that he is now and he got to do the turkey.

I remember that year. Wasn't it the FN Christmas special?

Probably "holiday" special

I remember the first Christmas special he did with the fruitcake. He was at the very end and everyone was making fun of his fruitcake. That was like 2000 or 2001. I know I saw in 2001 because that's the year we got Direct TV. I had only been watching FN for a few months, but Alton was already my favorite. I didn't like they had him at the end

Wonder if he'll have the "Alton Cam" at this year's party?

He's also going to be in the next episode too. Ina, AB and Tyler Florence all in one show.
