Now You Can Feast on Asphalt Anytime You Want To

Alton Brown fans will be pleased to hear that last year's popular Feasting on Asphalt 2: The River Run is now available on DVD. As a fan of Alton, I thought this was a really fun series. It chronicled his and his crew's journey along the Mississippi River on motorcycle, but most importantly it chronicled everything they ate. While I'm well versed on foreign foods, it was great to learn about some of these homegrown treats.

If you're interested, the DVD set runs $29.95 - if you're one of the first 1000 to order you get a free map charting the journey - but from now until April 30, you can get 10 percent off by using the code: C93837 when you check out.

And if you'd rather read about his journey, they've just released a companion book ($16.50, the discount code probably won't work on this). Alton was recently on NPR talking about it. It's part memoir and part cookbook. Kool-Aid pickles anyone?

Any of you guys fans of director Robert Rodriguez? Well, did you know that he includes his own 10 minute cooking school videos on many of his DVDs? In each episode you get footage of Rodriguez walking you through one of his favorite recipes, intermixed with footage of his films. To check out videos for Sin City Breakfast Tacos (homemade tortillas even!) and Puerco Pibil (from Once Upon a Time In Mexico with Johnny Depp!), read more

Sin City Breakfast Tacos:

Once Upon A Time In Mexico Puerco Pibil:

These both look great, but what I want to know is, what recipe will he use for his upcoming remake of the Jetsons?
