Interview by Dylan Gibbs Photos by Bee Squared Productions

O

ne of the most respected, entertaining and enlightening personalities in not just the world of food, but in media, Alton Brown has distinguished himself as a television host, author, lecturer, inventor and guru of the great American road trip (see: Feasting on Asphalt). His work on the now-classic Good Eats on Food Network has inspired people who may not have otherwise tried their hand at making a killer grilled cheese sandwich – or a rack of lamb – to do so, and with gusto. His books similarly inspire and educate. And his somewhat quirky personality makes him a prime interviewee, as we found out: WC!: What are you? A chef? A scientist? An entertainer?

AB: I actually have no idea; it scares me to even ponder that question. If I’m trying to secure a loan, I put “Television Producer,” because first and foremost I run a television production company and I’m the Executive Producer of Good Eats. My vocation is as a writer. A year of my time and so-called billable hours, so to speak, are spent writing, and the next portion is spent directing, and the next portion is spent in front of a camera. But from the standpoint of when people ask what I am I say I’m the world’s grooviest Home Ec teacher.

That’s as good a job description as any.

I don’t do sewing, not yet anyway. But I am trying to pick that up…

I am. It’s part of Home Ec, but I don’t think I could produce a show about sewing. I don’t think it would be worth watching.

• 6 • www.EvansvilleDining.com

Do you have a favorite episode of the show?

For a long time, I did. We did a garlic episode once that was shot through the eyes of a vampire who had hired me to get over his fear of garlic. I really liked that show for some strange reason.

But it’s been a few years since I’ve upgraded my favorite. I think I have favorite moments rather than favorite shows. I do have least favorites, which are a lot easier to pick out than favorites.

We don’t need to talk about those, though. Kind of in that line, is there a food you cannot or will not deal with on the show?

I wouldn’t do a show on food that I’m politically against.

What do you mean?

Well… I don’t like the way veal’s produced, so I probably would never do a veal show.

What’s Cookin’! 2010-2011

I see, okay.

I’ve worked a spring slaughter before; I’ve killed lamb myself. I know what it ’s like to take a life in order to eat, and I don’t disagree with it, but I do disagree with taking an animal in such a way that it makes it more miserable. And I’ll probably never do shows on foods that Food Network doesn’t think anybody wants to know about. For instance, they’d never let me do a show with rabbit involved. People would be upset by that.

Do you really have a box filled with sand in your refrigerator for your root vegetables?

Yes. In one of the two refrigerators – I have two and that ’s in one of them.

You’re well known for adapting tools from other trades for use in cooking. Do you have a research and development team that works on that stuff?

Hacking… no that is all me.

How do you figure out what works?

I don’t know. You know what? It ’s because when I start examining a problem, so much of the time I don’t have the right tool for it. So I look around: what do I have? There are some people who think that I do it just for gadgets’ sake but there really is a purpose, to me, in looking at a job and figuring out what needs to happen in such a way that it kind of redefines the whole process. I’m really into beef jerky, and I like to make it. So this came out of a way I came up with to make dried herbs, which is strapping furnace filters onto the front of a box fan with a bungee cord. And it works really well. So why would I buy a food dehydrator when I can do this? I mean, in this day and age, we’re sold so much stuff. I’m sick of stuff. I’m sick of having stuff I don’t need, I’m sick of having stuff I don’t want. I mean, people who get their kitchens remodeled, nine times out of ten, are doing it so they can have more cabinet space for all the crap they have.

It’s more satisfying to make it yourself.

It brings a sense of adventure to it. It really does. When I was a kid, I loved movies about mad scientists and Flubber, you know, and the whole idea that a guy, or a girl, I’m not being sexist, can take their imagination and make something out of nothing. To me, I don’t invent things out of nothing. I don’t design something on a piece of paper and go to a machinist. I’m more like Sanford & Son. I live in the Midwest and there are those who think that I live in a culinary wasteland. What would you say to those people?

I would say they need to move out of New York. I get really irritated with New Yorkers who think that there is no life and no intelligence outside the five boroughs.

What’s Cookin’! 2010-2011

In your experience, can you think of exciting or unique foods to come out of the Midwest?

Dear Lord, that would be like saying… the list would be too long to enumerate. I don’t even know how to begin to answer that. The Midwest is as valid a culinary proving ground as anywhere else in the United States. No, it is not as rich a stew of cultures, perhaps, but that doesn’t mean anything.

Well said. In this part of Indiana, people like to eat brain sandwiches. Other than frying, which is how they’re prepared here, can you think of another way to prepare a brain?

Well, brain requires high heat on the outside and relatively quick Continued on Page 6 www.EvansvilleDining.com • 7 •

-Alton Brown

cooking. It gets nasty fast otherwise. You can pan-fry it. You can sauté it. You can pan roast it. But I think that frying is probably the best, as it is for most glandular matter, most organs are very good fried. You know what, I want to say another thing about brain sandwiches: they are important.

How so?

Because they are regional. And in a day and age when our food is being homogenized and pasteurized to death, thank God there is still a regional specialty that people can cling to. Be proud of it and cling onto it. Believe me, if McDonald’s had its way, there would be nothing but Quarter Pounders for everyone. I just despise the homogenization of American cuisine, almost more than anything else.

Do you have a tried and true grilled cheese sandwich recipe?

I use two cast iron skillets, and I get them really hot. I turn one of them upside down and put the sandwich in the bottom of one and then sandwich the other pan on top of it. Pressure is important, because it ’s like a Panini, you want it squeezed some. You want heat to move to the sandwich very quickly. The goal is to have the outside essentially fried. You’ve got to put some butter on it; you’ve got to have some mayonnaise on the inside so the cheese has boundaries of where it can go, because fat makes a great boundary.

What’s Cookin’! 2010-2011

If there’s one underlying principle to cooking, what would it be?

That there are about twenty underlying principles to cooking.

(Laughs) I figured you might say that.

I can’t tell you how many times people ask for that one something, like there’s a magic bullet.

Like, ‘What ’s the one tool everyone should have in the kitchen?’ And I usually say, ‘A brain.’

Without it, nothing will make a lot of sense.

People will ask what they can do to guarantee success in the kitchen and I’ll say if you’re working from a recipe, take it out of the kitchen, go to your living room, sit down, and read it. Because nine times out of ten, when things go wrong in a recipe application, it ’s because somebody didn’t read it right.

What’s Cookin’! 2010-2011

Good advice. Thanks for your time, and I really think your show is great.

Thanks. I sometimes feel that it ’s okay, that it ’s pretty good sometimes. And then other times I think I’m a hack, but that ’s okay too.

Your Guide to Culinary Cocktails Stephen Dennison, BourbonBlog.com Mixologist/Beverage Consultant & Tom Fischer

Y

ou’re encouraged to experiment with the various techniques, spirits and ingredients that follow.

Like cooking, these recipes are very personal and organic, for lack of a better word. Although reproducing a recipe is a fun and informative start, the right way is your way and the joy of mixology lies in the personal journey.

SPRING

The smash is a collection of fruits and herbs that are muddled, combined with a spirit and a touch of simple syrup and then poured over ice – preferably crushed. They are generally garnished with the herb found inside the drink so that one may smell the plant while drinking. If you don’t own a muddle stick, the bottom of a bottle of hot sauce works just fine.

The first clippings of herbs, especially mints, come in first during spring, along with berries of all kinds. Strawberries, raspberries and blackberries thrive in this rain-soaked environment. Cherries, apricots and oranges can also be found at your local grocer, as they find their respective seasons in their places of origin.

The Berry Smash 2 oz. Bulleit Bourbon 4-6 Berries of choice Splash of Simple Syrup (dissolve one part sugar in one part hot water) 3 Mint Sprigs Place berries and mint into shaker. Muddle just until the mint is bruised and the berries broken. Add Bourbon, simple syrup and ice. Shake until frost forms on the outside of the tin. Strain over crushed ice in a highball glass. Garnish with remaining mint sprig.

SUMMER

Fruit and vegetable juice cocktails are an excellent way to express the purity of the ingredients. If you have a juicer, use it. If not, you may blend the product and then push it through a fine mesh strainer with the back of a ladle. If you desire a cleaner texture and appearance, you may also pass this mixture through coffee filters (it generally takes more than one.)

Vigorous, water-laden produce is best at this time of year. Tomatoes, cucumbers and melons of various types abound. Berries can still be had, and the first of the year’s tree fruits become available, as well.

The Cucumber Martini 1.5 oz. Hendrick’s Gin 1.5 oz. Cucumber Juice 2 Squeezes of Lime Splash Simple Syrup Cucumber Slice Place Gin, lime, juice and simple syrup in a shaker tin. Add ice. Shake vigorously, for 15-20 seconds after frost forms outside the tin, adding a touch of water. Strain into a cocktail glass. Garnish with cucumber slice.

FALL

The Sangaree is an Americanized version of the Spanish Sangria – one in which various spirits are used to fortify the original chilled fruit-and-wine concoction.

Here, we are macerating the fruit with the liqueur.

Don’t hesitate to add more to the punch, if you like, or add additional ingredients, like vodka. For this recipe use a young red wine, like Beaujolais Nouveau, released each year on the third Thursday of November – a perfect Thanksgiving libation.

The last of the year’s tree fruits (peaches, apples, plums, pears) meet the first of the late squashes (pumpkin, winter.) A nice variation does well, perhaps with the addition of some dried fruits, like cranberries.

Thanksgiving Sangaree (Serves 4) 1 cup fruit/squash mixture 1 cup Campari 5 oz. Young Red Wine Splash of Simple Syrup, to taste Macerate mixture in Campari for two to four hours. Place fruit in wine glass. Add wine. Adjust seasonings by adding a touch of the maceration liqueur and incorporating simple syrup, if necessary.

WINTER

The Martini is a classic cocktail traditionally comprised of Gin (or Vodka) to which vermouth - a grape distillate - has been added. Here we are using a hazelnut distillate to communicate the flavor of the season, as they do not translate well in their raw or simply processed form. Traditionally, farmers would distill whatever was left over after various preservation methods were applied to whatever they were growing, so I feel this technique fits quite well.

Winter squashes, root vegetables and preserved items find their way onto menus at this time of year. Beets, potatoes, turnips and preserved fruits abound when the land grows dormant.

The Hazelnut Martini 2 oz. Indiana Vodka 1/2 oz. Frangelico 1 Medjool Date, pitted Lemon Twist, for garnish Place the Vodka and Frangelico in a shaker. Stir for 30 seconds after frost forms outside the tin.

Strain into a cocktail glass. Garnish with date.

Garnish with expressed lemon.

C

linical dietitian Ron Nesler of Deaconess Hospital isn’t a guru or a magician; he’s a professional who knows nutrition and food’s effect on the human body inside-out. The Southern Illinois University at Carbondale alum has been helping people in the area for over five years now, helping them to lose weight, to manage various conditions and diseases and to improve their overall quality of life. What ’s Cookin! wanted to know more about these topics, and so we asked Mr. Nesler for some of his time, which he graciously provided.

WC: What would you say is the most common concern people have when it comes to their diet?

RN: ‘You need to put me on a diet because I think I need to lose weight.’ That ’s the biggest thing that everyone wants.

Or when they find out I’m a dietitian and we’re at a party somewhere and they have a plate of food… they don’t want me to see what ’s on their plate. The biggest perception that people have about a dietitian is that people either think you’re a cook or you know how to lose weight.

For the benefit of the public to educate them, what is the definition of a dietitian?

There are a lot of different things; we do not just help lose weight. We help with a lot of disease states. If you come to the hospital and you have renal problems there are lots of diet restrictions you have to follow and someone has to educate you on that. We know the formulas you need, we know the rates, things of that nature, we know that. If you’re in the food service section, you might be running a kitchen: establishing diets, working with vendors, making sure the food you’re preparing is going to meet nutritional standards. If you’re a consultant dietitian and you’re going out to nursing homes, you need to make sure the facility you are working for is providing nutritious foods. Are they getting what they need? Do they need supplementation?

Do they need extra portions are they following a certain diet? Things like that.

What suggestions would you make for people who don’t want to lose weight, but for those who have never actually thought about their diet? Where would the start be for those people, making sure they are eating a nice well rounded diet?

Think about the serving size. How much are you eating? A lot of people don’t understand what a serving size is. We are so trained now, we go to a restaurant and order a meal, it ’s not a meal; it ’s a buffet on your table. It ’s just really large portions and people take that, and they translate that for home. And instead of eating a bowl of spaghetti they’re eating two bowls or even three. That ’s just what they’ve grown accustomed to. So watching your serving size is a big one. Making sure you’re getting some fruits and vegetables in everyday. Just basic stuff. Watch your portion sizes, don’t eat out as much, don’t eat so much sugar, watch the fat intake, watch the sodium and increase your activity.

• 14 • www.EvansvilleDining.com

What sorts of trends have you seen change in the world of food and diets in the past few years?

When I was doing my undergrad and my graduate work, it seemed that the Atkins diet was in full swing – that pendulum had swung to everyone being on a high protein, low carb diet, and I think now the pendulum has started going back the other way a little bit. That ’s the big trend I’ve noticed. People aren’t really going toward that anymore.

What’s Cookin’! 2010-2011

You say serving sizes is the thing, but if you can break down a pie chart to say maintain a certain weight, what is a normal percentage of carbs, fats, proteins, that sort of thing.

I was always taught in school that around 60% of calories should come from carbohydrates, 30% or less should be from fat, and somewhere around 10% should be from protein. And then your carbohydrates, the thing Atkins had right is that we do eat a lot of carbohydrates but it has more to do about the kind of carbohydrate that you’re eating, not so much that they are carbohydrates.

So like the complex versus…

Right, right. The more complex carbohydrates, more whole grain. If your diet is high in whole grains, fruits and vegetables, low fat dair y – those things are all carbohydrates – but you should be okay eating those types of foods as long as you’re not overindulging.

As a dietitian, what in your daily or weekly routine would you consider a success?

I had a patient once… I told them that they couldn’t eat out that of ten they were upset, they lef t cr ying. But then when I saw them later on they were able to adjust their diet and they were losing weight. And as far as I remember, I can’t remember if I approved it before I lef t or they were still on their way, but they were losing weight; they were sticking to their diet; they were on their way, feeling really good. That ’s what I call a success.

If people could make smarter decisions as they eat out, what sort of things would you recommend, what sort of things should they look for?

I always hated telling somebody, ‘no more than once or twice a week eating out.’ If you can keep it down to once or twice a week eating out then you’re ahead of the game. Because a lot of people, they come home, on their way home that ’s the first place they ’ll stop is a restaurant. I’d say one to two times a week is the maximum. Stay away from something that ’s breaded. If you buy something breaded at a restaurant chances are it ’s going to be fried. You can look for healthier choices on the menu. If you’re with someone else, split an entrée. Splitting and entrée not only saves you calories but it saves you money. Other things we tell patients is to order of f the appetizer menus, but be careful what you’re ordering. If you’re ordering deep-fried pickles or deep-fried green beans, that ’s probably not the best thing in the world to order due to all the fat and calories. If you’re going to a Mexican restaurant tell them not to set the basket of chips down because that basket of chips doesn’t end. You finish one and they bring you another one. Maybe if you have to have them, take a small handful and tell them to take the rest of them away. Just little things like that, little things you can do.

So moderation is very important.

Yes, that ’s the most impor tant thing. Moderation. We say that, we say that we say that, but people just don’t listen and yet it ’s the best advice: moderation. Just do the best you can.

what is it?

CHAMPAGNE VINEGAR – This distinctive vinegar is created using the same kinds of grapes often used to make Champagne (Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, etc.) and employing similar methods of aging used to make such vinegars as white and apple cider vinegar. Hints of vanilla – along with the distinctive flavor of Champagne – are characteristic of this type of vinegar.

more helpful tips...

Perfectly baked cookies: Chill cookie batter before baking the cookies if you want to avoid the browned edges so frequently seen on homemade cookies. Make the dough, shape the cookies, and chill them on the sheet for a while. This prevents the batter from spreading out too fast in the oven, resulting in that singed edge.

Use unwaxed, flavorless dental floss to cut the dough for cinnamon rolls or to split a cake layer. You can also use it to sew up stuffed chicken breasts and pork tenderloin. Once the meat is cooked the dental floss just slides right out with a gentle pull.

Double the chocolate: When making chocolate cake, dust the pan with cocoa instead of flour When making deviled eggs, just for a little nicer presentation, put the yolk mixture in a plastic bag and cut the tip (to make a pastry bag) and squeeze it into the egg to make a nice swirl.

Excellent soft and crusty breads – The secret to good crusty bread is to use very little (if any) fats, sugar, milk or egg yolks in the mix. Use only bread flour (no other kind) and make sure the dough is on the stiff side, not sticky and soft.

CHEESE - Don’t throw out an entire block of cheese because a little bit of mold has grown on one of the edges. The moldy part can be cut off, leaving a perfectly fine, non-fungused cheese. If your block of cheese has become hard, freeze it and grate it later; thawing isn’t necessary.
