Alton Brown On Tour

Dear Reader,

I am a 15 year old kid who loves to cook, and loves to cook for freinds and family. The reason why i am sending this is because i was wandering if i could have a chance to meet my favorite chef in the whole world, Alton Brown. I know im sure you guys get this alot i want to meet Alton Brown, I dont want to meet heim because he is a world renouned chef or anything like that, I would just love to cook and trade recipies with the person that got me so entusiastic about cooking. I have watched his shows ever since i can remeber im turning 16 on September 13, and this would be a dream come true if i meet Alton Brown. I know he has a busy secheduaal and all, but i just want to cook with Alton Brown before i go off to job core to be a World renouwned chef like him. I will be tought by a 5 star chef and before i go away for 2 years i was hoping to meet my cooking idol, I dont know if ur the person i should be talking to about this but if you can do me a favor please send this to Alton Brown and let him read this and let him know people are still out there recording and watching his shows. Alton Brown has inspired me to become a chef and teach people was to cook for them selves and friends and family, Most of my cooking skills i learned from watching A.B on tv and from my dad and mom around the kitchen but mostly from A.B my family isnt the type to go out and eat alot of fast food no we like to sit down and have a family meal together (mainly because we cant afford fast food) but we also learn great recipies from good eats. Me my mom and my step dad watch good eats everynight even if we have seen it just because we are learning about food and because its something i really want to do and i have ever since i was 12. My birthday is comming up soon ill be 16 but i wont get a car like most other kids i will go on a once in a life time chance to be a chef and im taking the chance. Ao please if you will make this 15 year olds Birthday wish come True by showing up on my door step and alowing me to cook with my idol Alton Brown.

Please contact me at 1(913) 250 1152 or call my cellphone 1(913) 250 1152

P.S. i do realize that this may now happen because dreams like this dont come true, But please atleast email me back telling me that he cant come or he will come, or just suprise me you will make this 15 year old boy's dream come true.

Thanks,

Steven E. Tolliver

did Steven get to meet Alton Brown for his birthday?

Mr.Brown comes across the viewers as someone with education. I would like to point out that his grammar skills need some improvement. I just saw a program on flatfish and he was dealing with a fish monger. It would have been better for his image if he correctly pronounced the fish(turbot) as TUR-BUT and not TUR-BOW. Actually the dictionary has the u as being an upside down e.

Another one he uses frequently is the spice cumin. It is properly pronounced cummin like come-in. it is not Q-MIN or KU-MIN. I hoped that he would be a cut above the others. There may be some dictionaries that allow this, but it was COME-IN long before it was Q-MIN or KU-MIN. Like the word forte. Everybody says FOR-TAY instead of fort. It was Fort longer than it was FOR-TAY with the accent on tay. The last one is sorbet. It is correctly pronounced SORE-BUT and not SOR-BAY. Once again, it was sorbut long before it was SOR-BAY with the accent on bay. This just confirms that someone is not editing his show properly and also confirms the old adage that "It is easier to change the language than to educate the people". We'll see if he(Alton) AL-ton and not Awl-TON as he so often corrects people that incorrecly pronounce his name(iron chef America)gets the message. Maybe "M" could do it.

In reference to the comment above, one has to wonder on the qualifications of the aforesaid Mr. Matthews to post such thoroughly irrelevant observations. In other words, what a lamebrain(LAYM-BRAYN).
