At Least You Can Trust Alton Brown

Thank heaven for all those TV channels on my cable box plus everything on my DVR. Last night, I was able to totally avoid the State of the Union and watch Alton Brown make a potato gratin on “Good Eats,” his amazing show on Food Network. The show was much more insightful and far more useful (and truthful) than what I was likely to find from the live broadcast dominating the major networks.
