He lives in one of the big historic mansions downtown just off the sqaure. There was an article about him in atlanta magazine last year that talked about him and it.
 
What a trooper AB is. Came on to speak at 4:15 started signing at about 5. the line was huge and was done by groups based on when you got there and bought the book. I was group 9. at 5:30 I had to leave to go to dinner, afterwards i thought what the hell and went back. it was 8 and he was still signing. so I got my book signed. the end of the line was 15 people behind me. There were close to 800 people at the event.

He told a story about smoking a ham in a cardboard box then "blowing it up" called it burningham ....I asked about it and he wouldnt say a word. Kinda funky suit he was wearing.

He used to work as a videographer and cameraman in and around Atlanta. He was a TD for Georgia Public TV for a while, in charge of some of their mobile trucks. I did a great deal of work with those guys. i don't remember him at all, but there's no doubt I worked with him at some point.
 
TOO COOL BRETT!!:eek::eusa_clap:eusa_clap

AB is da man!! (almost god like status in my house!:lol:)

After you get past all the quirky stuff (but you have to listen to it because it's valuble info too) that guy can teach some SERIOUS cooking!

The only other person I think that can keep up with him is Christopher Kimball from CI.

They teach the WHY in cooking.

My Grandma taught me the if you know what each ingredient in a recipe does and WHY you need them.
You can MAKE and DEVELOPE reciepes, not just FOLLOW them!

That is exactly what AB teaches.

Way to go on the book signing!:eusa_clap
 
I like AB, Char can take him or leave him (mostly leave him). But yes the "Matlock" suit look is very southernly gentlemanly like.
 
Great pictures Brett. I'm an AB fan also. I wish I would have known about the book signing. I would have tried to make it also.

Cheers,

Nate
