the sidlingers

For those of you who don’t watch hours and hours of Food Network every week, Alton Brown is the star of Good Eats, Feasting on Asphalt and the host of Iron Chef America. He is my culinary hero (David and Daniel enjoy him too).  Yesterday he held a seminar at the Opryland Hotel and we got to go see him (thank you David)!

After the seminar, where we learned all about turkey, there was a meet and greet reception.  Where we got to meet him, get his autograph and sample some of his recipes!!  It was awesome!  We were supposed to get an advanced copy of his new book, due out in October, but there was a delay with the publisher, so those are being mailed to us shortly.  We did receive stickers with his picture on them that he signed for us to put in the books when we recieve them and they had a photographer there to take pictures to make up for the book not being there.

It was a great day and a nice distraction from thinking about tomorrow’s events (I can’t believe he’s starting Kindergarten!!)
