I love Alton, but he needs to get over the mid-life crisis hair.

Lastly: You're in college, make friends by cooking! You can get a quality 8 quart Lodge Dutch oven for $45 online (or maybe somebody's parents have one just lying around?), that feeds atleast 8 hungry students a meal, with leftovers, so you cook, and each provides one ingredient in trade. That way, you might even get some free sides, a jug of cheap wine (Burgandy's traditional, Sangria's fruity), nicer quality ingredients, etc. And, somebody else just might do the cooking for you, next time.

Couple more tricks: 1 bell pepper 1 onion 1 stick celery still gives you decent flavor (Beats Ramen!). Many dollar stores in the U.S. have dried oregano. Bayleaf can be pricey, look for bulk, and stores getting rid of old spices--dried bay lasts forever. Cheap, high quality spices can often be found on the International aisle. Ask your grocery if they have a whole (crushable) dried pepper/spice section. Saltpork's cheap/lasts forever. Buy the cheapest non-quick rice. Dutch ovens do everything.

@AndrewzDescent : Some of the recipes are costly (although I think less than many cooking shows), but aside from recipes, the show teaches many culinary survival skills. The trick is to take a recipe's essence, and then fit it to your budget, and what's available to you--the way a lot of great world cuisines came about, including Creole.

Dried beans, bag rice, stew pork meat are fairly cheap.

For the pickle, here's a college trick: Commercial kosher pickle juice works ok in a pinch.

I LOVE this show...but it is not very college-student friendly. :P

[muetter]

he looks better AFTER he lost all that weight

[deraifu]

His hairstyle in this season was fine...added some character to him kinda a mad professor look. Besides it's the food that we should focus on anyway...lol

[SimuLord]

Tom Brady called, he wants his hairstyle back.

@simplyridiculous just wait until your hair starts thinning.

I don't think he gets the definition of "translucent".
