false <![CDATA[Feasting on Asphalt: The River Run]]> 2045582 1 HeÂ's on the road again. This time, Alton Brown and his motorcycle-mounted crew are off on a thousand-mile, south-to-north journey that follows AmericaÂ's first ÂsuperhighwayÂÂthe Mississippi. Starting at the great riverÂ's delta on the Gulf of Mexico and ending up near its headwaters in Minnesota, Alton and buddies travel the heartlandÂ's byways to scout out the very best of roadside foodÂand to get to know the people who spend their lives preparing and serving it. A companion to the six-part Food Network series airing in fall 2007, Feasting on Asphalt: The River Run is a travel diary, photo journal, and, of course, cookbook. AltonÂ's itinerary includes big-city eateries and small-town chat Â'nÂ' chews, as well as markets, inns, ice cream parlors, museums, barbecue jointsÂand even an alligator farm. Louisiana-style Grilled Alligator Tail (served simply, with lemon and butter) is one of the bookÂ's forty original road-food recipes. Others include Pecan-Coconut Pie from an Arkansan roadside restaurant; BBQ Pork Ribs in Mississippi that Brown eats over pancakes; Vegetable Borscht from St. PaulÂ's Russian Tea House; and Fried Catfish from a riverside burg in Illinois. When it comes to AmericaÂ's foodways and folkways, thereÂ's no better tour guide than Alton Brown. 2050515 1 4 2008 Feasting on Asphalt: The River Run total:114|5:41|4:43|3:30|2:0|1:0| 114 467 200 32 4 0 false false Mon Jun 15 14:57:31 -0700 2009 Mon Jun 15 14:58:57 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Sun Mar 01 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Tue Mar 31 20:13:46 -0700 2009 Tue Mar 31 20:22:55 -0700 2009 more...]]> 3 0 false false Mon Mar 09 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Tue Mar 10 06:22:11 -0700 2009 Tue Mar 10 06:22:11 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Sun Jun 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Tue Apr 15 12:52:01 -0700 2008 Tue Jun 17 11:20:09 -0700 2008 more...]]> 4 0 false false Wed Mar 26 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Wed Mar 26 11:31:36 -0700 2008 Wed Mar 26 11:42:00 -0700 2008
