Alton Brown talks salt

I found this video of Alton Brown discussing Diamond Crystal salt a few weeks ago on the company's website. I finally got around to getting a postable (is that a word?) copy to share with everyone.

From the set and the shirt he's wearing, it looks to be made back in February when AB was doing all of those Valentine's Day guest shots on morning shows. It is a nice little lesson on salt and how Diamond Crystal makes theirs. Oh, and Alton breaks out a blowtorch! Nice. AB is probably the only person who could do that and not come off as psycho. lol.

So without further ado, AB on salt...



The original copy can be found here.

any idea where he is? that's definitely the same kitchen he did the other spots from.

No idea.
Maybe they designed a set at AB's studio to shoot it in?

Or maybe it's his?

The kitchen set is not his. He made an appearace on a TV morning show called something like "The Morning Show with Mike and Juliet."

It was a Valentine's Day thing, where AB was making sweets that featured salt.

The ball "sculpture" on the left was supposed to be a model of a salt molecule. He used it in his demo.

I actually meant his kitchen. Yes, it's the same one as the morning show. Where was AB when he did this? I'm thinking he was somewhere other than Atlanta...

call me crazy, but I don't buy the presence of that spice rack on the back wall in his home kitchen.

It's not his kitchen. It's the set for the Mike and Juliet talk show he was on.

That's also not his mixer in the background.
