You didn’t even mention the Grind-O-Matic 3000 or whatever it is he calls his combo cordless-drill/peppermill.
It’s amazing that he was able to overcome his homosexuality and still make it big in musical theater.
Bingo.
I remember reading it here that he was gay but was just going on with his life. Exactly how it should be.
I don’t know Alton Brown from Adam’s off ox, but taking the hard way to do something because it’s cooler that way? Totally straight. Or it just means he’s a guy, which I think was probably a given.
Wow, in the IMDB photo’s he sure seems to not have aged very well. I’m glad to know he’s gay. If it came out that he was straight I think the world would explode.
The one who sets off MY gaydar is Graham Kerr.
Oh, and Ricki Rockett of Poison. That man is faa-laaaam-iiiiing!
I agree, or maybe he’s just British. Same thing. 
The question is: has Alton been smoking anyone elses bacon?
Who is David Hyde Pierce, and why should I care?
He played the bartender in Bright Lights, Big City, had a small role on an episode of Spenser: For Hire, and I think may have been on one or two episodes of Frasier.
And most importantly, as Cecil. Sideshow Bob’s brother on the Simpsons!
A role he is reprising next season. And John Mahoney will be playing their father!
Oh, well, I took that one for granted. Brother from another series, indeed!
No, the door-opener will be when he starts smoking kielbasa!
I’m in the “Alton’s straight” boat, but I must reveal that the title of one of the episodes of “Feasting on Asphalt” (stop snickering!) isI Smell Pork
BTW, the new season of Feasting On Asphalt premieres August 4th!
I thought John Mahoney was out.
Word is that a similar title was rejected for the salmon episode.
And let me stress I love AB, but was anyone else underwhelmed by the first set of Feasting on Asphalts? The editing, writing- something wasn’t right. The back and forth with the diner staff and patrons was also not as enlightening as the banter that Andrew Zimmern, Tony Bourdain and others have.
I was a bit disappointed by the series, too. But not disappointed enough to tune out. Even a mediocre serving of Alton Brown is better than most of what’s on TV.
He was awesome in Down With Love, too. Love that movie.
