My Unexpected TV Crush

Do you ever suddenly notice someone warm and familiar, who maybe is just doing something a little different and POW! you can't believe that they've become quite the unexpected hottie?

I've had that happen this summer - as I've developed a surprising crush on none other than Mr. Good Eats himself, Alton Brown. I've always thought he was funny and informative, and one of the more appealing hosts on the Food Network. However, I would have never put him in the same category as the two Food Network hotties, Tyler Florence and Dave Lieberman.

But have you seen him on his new show, Feasting on Asphalt? He and his crew have taken to the road on a motorcycle tour of our great nation, tasting all kinds of down-home road food along the way. He's made coffee on Pike's Peak, tasted a brain sandwich (gross), sampled every kind of barbecue possible, and explained the history of Colonel Sanders and Duncan Hines. He's still funny and informative - but on that bike, with a 2-day old beard and all that leather... suddenly he's ripe with comfortable masculinity.

Who would've ever guessed???

You don't have to point that out to me.
