So I am watching the Food Network the other night, I enjoy watching Rachael Ray’s $40 a Day show and there was a commercial for a new show with Alton Brown called Feasting on Asphalt. Didn’t really catch too much of the commercial but it had something to do with him on his motorcycle, so I did a google search to find out a bit more.
Seems that Alton Brown will be taking a road trip. Not just any old road trip, a good old fashion motorcycle road trip. He is starting in Savannaha, Georgia and riding his motorcycle around the country and doing a show on eating on the road. Wasn’t too sure how good this may be - so he is going to ride a few miles end up at a resturaunt, whatever. Then I came across some info in the press area of his website. Seems that he is actually going to stay on the road, on his motorcycle, for a month. Eating at diners, truck stops, and camping along the way.
Here is a bit from Alton’s site:
“Why a motorcycle? As far as I’m concerned, there’s no better way to experience the road than from the back of a bike. Being exposed to the elements presents thrills and challenges alike, most of which can’t be captured in a ‘cage’ (that’s what motorcycle people call cars),� said Alton. “Although we’ll stay in the occasional motor lodge as needed, many nights will be spent under tent or stars. For vast majority of human history, hotels didn’t exist and eating meant lighting a fire. The social aspect of sitting around that fire is one of the things our culture lost by taking most of our meals locked inside our cars.�
Right on man.
The first episode of the show is scheduled to air July 29, 2006 at 9:00 PM and there are 4 episodes total; Episode II - Aug 5, Episode III - Aug 12, and Episode IV - Aug 19.

Why not take it Sturgis, SD during the big bike rally. Hey, I’d even let you cook at my camp site. Actually, the rally is so huge that it takes up all of the surrounding cities. Some residents make enough money for the year in just one short week. In the old town of Deadwood, you can get some really great steaks…beware to get there early in the week before they run out. As for the craziness…stay away from the Buffallo Chip and you should be fine. This year, we are going to stay @ http://wyattshideaway.com/ for some R&R. Yes,Sturgis even caters to us laidback bikers. I went for the first time last year thinking that I would “endure it” for my husband. It is beautiful and not the hustle and bustly that I had expected. Everyone was nice. A road trip well worth the ride. It is actually called the (66th) Annual Black Hills Motorcycle Rally (Aug.7th-13th). I’ll be ridin’ on the back from Ft.Worth, no trailering here. Peggy Sue
Howdy Peggy Sue, thanks for stopping by. Yeah I reckon Alton would be a good choice for a cook in camp. Have a great time in Sturgis, I’ve never made it out there. Have been planning to for several years but things just keep coming up. One year though, it’ll be screw it all and lets go. Be safe out there and have a great ride. Let us know how it was when you get back.
