Alton Brown Re-enlists for Three More Years
Alton Brown decided to stick-it out with the Food Network and re-upped for three more years. A little militant sounding perhaps, but we are talking about the Food Network. With a the networks campaign to rid itself of the Titans of the culinary world who built the Network one often wonders what will happen next, or rather who will be deployed to the Nether-Reaches.
I am not surprised that Alton will continue to be a Food Network fixture. He has a successful TV series with Good Eats and is the host of what I do consider to be great TV in Iron Chef America. He has had a successful run with his mini-series Feasting on Asphalt and will continue his tour with a stint in the Caribbean (poor thing) with Feasting on Waves to be aired this Summer.
“We are thrilled to continue our long-standing relationship with Alton and look forward to creating compelling programs with him,” said Brooke Johnson, president of Food Network, in a statement. “’Good Eats’ launched in 1999, its popularity and that of Alton is a testament to the creativity and longevity of our talent and programming.”
“Food Network is my home and I am staying home,” said Mr. Brown. “I’m looking forward to producing more and varied shows with the network and am especially excited about ‘Feasting on Waves,’ which will bring a whole new perspective to food.”
I am happy to see Alton Brown still on the airwaves, but I wonder if the screws are being turned for Food Network to get a little piece of his action as well. Hey, Alton, watch-out, the Food Execs got your ”Science…It’s What for Dinner” t-shirts in their sites.
I tell you…I smell a Culinary Union in the works.
