Unfortunately, Alton's array of tricks, while interesting and entertaining, weren't exactly things the average home cook will be able to use. Branding a steak? Black pepper power drill? Frosting a cake on a record player? Nevertheless, it's an enjoyable segment with two of my personal favorite TV personalities. Enjoy.

LOL - those were great tips! I love his ingenuity. Very clever! Some worth trying, I think.
Hi Chef John,
My husband and I are HUGE AB and Letterman fans, so this clip made us both pretty happy :) I missed this particular episode. Thanks for posting it!
Alton Brown really rushes through his presentation. Letterman is such a goof!
I wish I still had a record player...how fun frosting would be then.
From what I understand, Alton Brown is not a Chef, he is just super interested in food and the science of it. Of course, you may correct me if I am wrong!
If your definition means like the Chef of a pro kitchen, then no. But if you apply my believe that being a Chef is a state of mind then yes. BTW, we're all Chefs sometimes.
I fear my husband seeing that powered pepper mill!
Lettermen has always seemed very awkward and non-skilled, but his age is starting to show here and there, making things that much worse. Never again allow that man near anything moving!
hehe this was funny, tho i wouldnt use them in a kitchen :P
Btw the thing with the cheese.. its common in france you know
Alton Brown had a really interesting presentation. Letterman, however, just came off as an asshole.
I still think the best food presentation on late night TV was Martha Stewart on Conan O'Brien doing her St. Patrick's Day menu this past March. It was a howler.
Thanks for posting this, Chef. I'm going to start looking up some stuff from Alton Brown thanks to this.
Food geeks are hot.
:::blushing::: thank you!
Alton Brown did go to a culinary school, not sure which one but I do remember it was a big life changing event for him. Wife, kids, packed up bags and started a new life.
