Alton Brown<\/a> did a sushi show!<\/p>\n

I was thisclose<\/i> to sending an e-mail through his website, asking if\/when he’d do a sushi show. Not only was I curious about how he would approach sushi, I wanted to see what kind of silly antics he would along the way.<\/p>\n

In terms of entertainment, this show didn’t crack me up the way new episodes this summer have. I loved the whole Silence of the Lambs<\/i> spoof with Koko Karl in last week’s health food episode, and having W dress up as genie for the jerky episode cracked me up.<\/p>\n

The sushi show was, however, packed with information, some of it I knew, some of it I didn’t, so in this case, the educational bits squeezed out the comedy bits. The sushi chef they used between sequences, though, was pretty hot. Will he be the new mad French chef? Oh, I hope so.<\/p>\n

Two things made me pause, though. In one of the earliest episodes dealing with rice, he goes through this whole routine with W about rice cookers, only to toss it out of the window in this episode. A unitasker? Didn’t that earlier episode state rice cookers could be used for other things?<\/p>\n

Then he put wasabi in his maki and nigiri. That shit is strong, and little goes a long, long way. Putting it in a roll sits as well with me as putting in mayonaise. (Bleah.)<\/p>\n

Still, this episode will go on my must-watch list — if forced to chose between an episode of Law & Order<\/i> or The West Wing<\/i> against the sushi episode, I’d go for the sushi episode. (Unless, of course, it’s “Two Cathedrals” were talking about.)<\/p>\n

Food Network aired his wonton episode afterward, and it’s another on the list mainly for the fact that, um, it’s the closest thing AB gets to being barechested.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
