More Alton Brown and Fabulous Food Show

At the Fabulous Food Show demo Saturday afternoon, Alton Brown discussed salt and made his salt crusted beef tenderloin from the GE special Eat this Rock! The reason AB talked about salt was from the bad press it received earlier in the year.

Of course, people who cook understand that salting your food in something you make at home is entirely different from the salt added to preprocessed foods. In fact, Michael Symon did a visual demonstration of the amount of salt in a can of soup at his demo on Friday. It is startling to see the amount of salt in premade items and there in lies the problem.

AB's demo was completely about cooking with salt and making the beef tenderloin.

Here are a few of my favorite photos from the demo:

AB removed the beef tenderloin from the oven and picked it up sans oven mitts. And said, Ouch, hot, Crap, hot.

This one looks like he's telling me to stop taking the photos. ;)
AB's internal commentary: All right Lisa, you've been to how many of these? Enough photos.

Some interesting hand gestures while talking about the salt dough.

I have a ton more photos, I like to "shoot fat" but that always leaves me with a boatload of photos to process.
