Congratulations, Alton!
Good Eats, the wonderfully entertaining show of Alton Brown, has won a Peabody Award! The Peabody is given out by the Grady College of Journalism and Mass Communications at the University of Georgia, and it recognizes distinguished achievement and meritorious service by radio stations, television networks, and the like. According to the Peabody website, Good Eats is being honoured because “rarely has science been taught on TV in such an entertaining—and appetizing—manner as it is in Alton Brown’s goofy, tirelessly inventive series.”
As you may know, Erin & I love Alton Brown, my personal affection for him only heightening when I attended his cooking class about ice cream. Alton is just as silly, smart and awesome in person as he is on the show, and he certainly deserves this award.
Congratulations, AB!
