My Time is Yours |
Many of you may know I LOVE WATCHES, and the stories that are associated with them. If you have a few minutes to spare, watch this: https://www.hodinkee.com/artic...hes-with-alton-brown God, Family, Country. | ||

When I'd see Alton at the local airport, he'd be sporting the Omega. He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster. | |||

AB and watches...double good! Thanks for posting this. | |||

FN SCAR 17 and just a WAG, but looks like he's wearing a Breitling. | |||

He's also a fan of the BHP. | |||

Probably on a trip |
Yeah, I've seen him wearing that Breitling on a couple of his Good Eats shows. This and no other is the root from which a tyrant springs; when he first appears above ground he is a protector. Plato | |||

I've been enjoying watching his cooking shows, but didn't know this. Great! Thanks for posting! "Ride to the sound of the big guns." | |||

Alton's into food, planes, guns and watches. He's awesome. | |||

He also loves Shun knives. Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it. "If dogs don't go to Heaven, I want to go where they go" Will Rogers The definition of the words we used, carry a meaning of their own... | |||

Didn't realize he is a gun guy. That is really awesome. He has a nice collection there and he knows what he likes. | |||

It's mind blowing that he found his father's stolen watch... God, Family, Country. | |||

The more I watch his shows the more I realize he would appreciate guns and watches. He is all about the science - what happens to this protein when you break it down, how do you actually make corn tortillas, how long can you keep that chicken in the fridge? For a guy like that, mechanical marvels like guns and watches are going to be right up there on the desire list! Amazing that he tracked down his father's watch - it meant a lot to him and I'm glad he found it. Also, I love me some Omega's!

Thanks for sharing. I had seen this a few weeks ago. Glad he's a gun nut too. Hodinkee's Talking Watches is a great YouTube channel. They get some very interesting watch geeks from all walks of life. | |||

Alton is the Man! I love to cook, and have learned a lot from him. We also share a passion for watches. Great video and a cool story about his father's Omega. _________________________ 2nd Amendment Defender The Second Amendment is not about hunting or sport shooting. | |||

Thank you Very little |
He's also a big motorcycle fan, rides a BMW and did one show from his motorcycle, I like the show, it's technicality, tips and sillyness... | |||

Brown has always said that Good Eats is a show for cooks, and not a cooking show. Also, Brown said that he chose to end the show when he saw the handwriting on the wall- the future of cable food channels is this preposterous "competition" nonsense. I can't stand that crap. Brown adapted to it, as you see, by agreeing to host some of these pointless, silly shows, but I'd like to see him bring back Good Eats. ____________________________________________________ "I am your retribution." - Donald Trump, speech at CPAC, March 4, 2023 | |||

Oh stewardess, I speak jive. |
I believe he announced this very thing a week or so ago. Web based, this time, IIRC. | |||

Alton is okay in my book. The fish is mute, expressionless. The fish doesn't think because the fish knows everything. | |||

He's also a guitar player. He was profiled in the Taylor guitars quarterly magazine/catalog a while back. Regular Renaissance man by the look of it. | |||

Crusty old curmudgeon |
He'd make "A most interesting man in the world" a real thing, for sure. Jim ________________________ "If you can't be a good example, then you'll have to be a horrible warning" -Catherine Aird | |||
