Alton Disappointment

On Episode 2 of Alton Brown's new Food Network show, Feasting on Asphalt, he stops by the Carolina Smokehouse in Cashiers, NC. This is one of two stops he made in North Carolina, but the other was a hamburger place in Charlotte (in Episode 1), and therefore unrelated to 'que.

I have to say that I was disappointed by Alton's treatment of 'que. I know this is not a barbeque show, but the segment felt very short and nothing profound was said. I'm a fan of Alton's other show, Good Eats, and I like the Feasting premise, but the show has not been up to Alton's usual standards. Still, it was good to hear Alton sing the praises of Boston butt!
