Alton Brown cracks me up!
I’m guaranteed to laugh when I watch his show!
The reason he is sitting there at the end is because they are both in the diner in the opening of the show, Alton talking about how pork is often rendered unpalatable, and the other patron is just chewing and chewing while Alton talks, because the pork was overcooked — nothing implies that the patron ASKED for it to be overcooked, and everything implies that he doesn’t like it, for he enjoys the pork Alton offers at the end. That’s it. Nothing racist at all about it.
At the very end, it reveals the black guy at the table while Alton is trying to convince him that it’s safe to eat pork cooked to medium. That’s the same as revealing a black guy while he is saying watermelon isn’t appropriate to eat with fried chicken.
Please, accept the mystery. Culture clash.
I don’t see anything stereotypical or racist about this at all. They are making fun of the DINER which overcooks everything, not the black patron. The DINER overcooks the pork, so the patron can’t talk to Alton because he’s busy chewing and chewing. Hence Alton’s phrase at the end, “he, you can talk and eat at the same time!”
Okay, I was being sarcastic, but I hadn’t actually watched the whole episode yet.
It’s a pretty common stereotype in restaurant kitchens that black people like all meats well done, and are afraid of getting sick from medium to rare steaks. So now that I’ve seen the actual bit, I agree that this was inappropriate.
Alton said in another episode that they “can’t say stuff like that” on tv, in reference to women liking tender meat. They should be more considerate here.
Hail Satan.
Yeah don’t know, all black people are afraid of pigs. This is the most racist shit I’ve ever seen. Hail Satan.
grill napper lol
@t29002 whats wrong with that? Meathead!
I’m assuming you mean “why should I use butter only if I’m not concerned about my fat intake.” Well, you’ll notice I said replace the “Light” brushing of oil with butter… Lots of it. Really make sure it has a chance to coat and cover the meat.
why? if there is more fat in oil?
Is there some connection between the two that I am ignorant of?
I do believe this was out before King of the Hill….XD
It’s juicy and just a little pink
The actor’s name is Daniel, the character’s name is Chuck.
Chuck’s name is Daniel?
aint this a bitch, why the black dude in the pork chop episoed……aint that a bitch
Just made these…. dankness. Oh, no dried fruit in mine though, simple bread crumb stuffing.
TIP: If you don’t care about fat, replace the light brushing of oil with unsalted butter.
Lmao. I don’t cook, and my girlfriend is an amazing cook. I do asian stuff, and she does everything in between.
Nope, because it can be used as a mini plunger-cup, just like the big ones he uses for things like honey and molasses.
it’s not exactly 45, but they don’t come out 90, it’s tighter than that.

Nooo! Not Fireball! Save the grill, Alton!
