I couldn't agree more.  One of the most interesting classes I took when in
cooking school was chemistry of cooking.  Real cool stuff all that :-)

Alton Brown is probably the most accurate and bestest guy on tv that I know
of right now.  He's a riot to boot :-)

>thoroughly enjoy Emeril LaGasse

Phlip, my condoleances...  Ya must be outta yer mind! :-)

His older shows were much better.  Now, it's all flash.  And I find that a
fair bit of the information he gives his not quite "it".  He does use bell
peppers way too much.  And he seems to put too much garlic in all his
dishes, whether it is appropriate or not (don't get me wrong, I love
garlic, but in moderation).

But that's one of the fun things of this list, we *can* disagree and still
be friends...  :-)
