"Today's clam supply, commercial clam supply at least, are as squeaky clean as the inside of a good used car."

That's pretty dirty, actually.

oO Alton does a really good impression of Steve Irwin.....

AB is to Julia Child as LeBron and Dirk and KG are to Bird and Magic and Jordan---the very best at what they do in their time, and a heckuva argument as to just who's better overall.

1/3 history show, 1/3 science show, 1/3 cooking show. All awesome.

@ncisheadslapper Not really. At least logically, A=B doesn't always mean B=A. In most of mathematics, yes, but logically, no.

Also, a clamming knife is hard to spread with. >.>

[ncisheadslapper]

If a butter knife could double as a clamming knife, then by that same logic couldn't a clamming knife be used as a butter knife?
