Chewing the Fat: Alton Brown on Hospitality

On this week's Chewing the Fat, Alton Brown talks about what he discovered about the whole notion of hospitality when he hit the road in Feasting on Asphalt. We figured hospitality is a worthy subject come holiday time. Alton says that regrettably hospitality has come to mean showmanship. That, he says, is not what eating food that's been cooked for us is all about.

Alton speaks about the things he believes in such a beautiful way, it is a joy to listen to him.

I admire, and very often share his philosophies on many of the things i've heard him talk about, and only *wish* i shared his ability to so poetically articulate them.

Thank you so much, SeriousEats, for posting these for all of us fans to see. :)

:) It's a cutscene from the show Feasting on Asphalt... part of the intro if I remember correctly.

Am I the only one who thought the motorcycle cut scene at 1:14 was a little out of place? haha.

I love Alton.

I agree, if we could all sit down at the hospitality table people would never feel hungry in their tummies or their souls.  I had a teacher who once told me that the stomach is the center of soul's judgement, thus the saying gut feeling. We as a nation would not be screaming and yelling at each other if we could sit down at the table of common ground

hospitality!
