I had no idea who he was (until I googled him) and I'm sure many of the kids at Fayetteville Street didn't either, but Alton Brown came to our school!
 |
| This is him. |
He did a cool science/culinary experiment that involved popcorn, exploding balloons and dried crickets.
Needless to say, the kids loved it and now we all know who Alton Brown is.
 |
| Popping popcorn with an extra hot lamp |
 |
Making culinary science jokes.
I didn't know it but he has his own show AND was on Iron Chef! |
 |
| He's doing 2 shows at DPAC tonight and we got front row seats at Fayetteville Street Elementary. |
 |
| Trying to emulate the chemical reaction that occurs when popcorn is popped. Inside the balloon is kale (for fiber), packing peanuts (for cellulose), and dried crickets (for protein). |
 |
| This was right after he made that lady eat a dried cricket! |
 |
| Heating up the "kernal"...this poor woman! |
 |
| And...POP! |
 |
| The best part was that Alton Brown stayed after the show and gave each child (over 300) and teacher a personalized autograph! |
 |
| Thanks, Alton Brown! |
