good, cheap, and fast...pick any two


Recommended Posts

Alton,

First, I want to thank you for the most informative culinary program I've ever set my VCR for. I have 100+ episodes on tape. I've met you once, at the Biltmore Estate, and I have yet to hear a response from the resume iI gave you (it was in the iron chef with alton brown transcript, and the offer still stands).

In other news, I'm a firm believer in the theory of the title quote ("You can have it good, cheap, and fast...pick any two"). You seem to agree.

I implore you to enlighten us as to some of your cookin-at-home meals:

Whats your favorite dinner, good and cheap? cheap and fast? good and fast?

Was that three questions? Again, if you insist, pick any two...

Sometimes good and fast is the goal...sometimes it's good and cheap...never is it cheap and fast...unless of course it's good.

I do a lot of braising which means that I'm willing to invest a lot of time in relatively cheap food. I do buy expensive chunks of fish from time to time, which I generally broil or convection roast. My cooking is really all over the place at home. I'm either trying to prove some hairbrained theory or I'm just really in a hurry.

Oh, and here's another secret to my home meals: Orida.

And I really make great ribs...really I do.
