I'm trying very hard to get my brain and everything else back into "normal" mode after this weekend.
I want to share my weekend with Alton for you guys.
So here are some highlights;
Friday evening started the festivities for me, attended the Evening with Alton Brown dinner. Besides getting to talk with AB several times during the night, the food was knockout awesome. The steak... major league droolage for that
AB was cool, witty, charming as per usual. He came around to all of the tables and chatted with us and asked us how we were enjoying the dinner.
And, of course, when I meet Alton something unusual seems to happen. This time was no exception.
When desert was served, the waiter cleared the previous course and took my silverware with it. I was seating there sans fork when AB approached and asked how I liked the desert. I told him the waiter took my silverware. He told me, "I'll get you some silverware." And promptly headed to the table next to mine, picked up all of the silverware on it and plopped it down in front of me. Then he announced to the room, "She needed silverware."
The gal at my table asked him about ice cream makers. If you're in the market, he suggests the one with the biggest motor or an Italian one.
At one point, he came over and grabbed my camera, which was sitting on the table, and took the photo I shared in another post.
This was the highlight of the weekend.
The demo on Saturday focused on small fish. At the beginning of the demo Alton talked about his weight loss and that a lot of it was from increasing fats, namely omega 3 fatty acids. These are found in small fish like herring, anchovies, sardines and rainbow trout.
Rainbow trout was the featured fish in the demo. AB smoked some. Pickled some. And made escabeche of trout. All of the dishes looked great and the fish AB fried for the esabeche smelled great!
I so want to make that smoker!
