In a moment that resonates with many of us during this tumultuous election week, celebrity chef Alton Brown took to Twitter for a lighthearted pre-election meltdown. On Monday afternoon, the Food Network star shared his thoughts on what he plans to snack on while awaiting election results, which is something we can all relate to.
His Twitter escapade began innocently enough, announcing, “So, my cooking show will be live tomorrow night at 8 pm on YouTube. What should we cook (and more importantly drink) to survive the night?” He quickly followed up with, “Regardless of the outcome, we’ll still have tiny chocolate doughnuts,” a perfectly reasonable statement amidst the chaos.
However, as the tweets rolled in, Brown humorously spiraled into a relatable frenzy. “I’m seriously considering @LittleDebbie #NuttyBars and cigarettes. Honestly, like at the same time,” he tweeted. Moments later, he dismissed the idea of fancy cooking with, “So many chefs are like ‘oh, I’m going to braise short ribs in elderberry jam…’ Forget that,” he exclaimed. “I’m going to mainline moon pies and snort cheese powder!” No judgment here!
For the next 40 minutes, Brown embodied the spirit of America with his whimsical and chaotic thoughts, declaring, “YOU THINK YOU KNOW WHAT CRAZY LOOKS LIKE? I’VE GOT MARSHMALLOW FLUFF AND THREE FEET OF GARDEN HOSE! YOU WANNA DANCE?” and “MURDER HORNET FONDUE.”
He even contributed a personal classic: “I’M TALKING ABOUT PIPING SPAGHETTIOS INTO STALE TWINKIES AND EATING THEM NAKED IN THE SHOWER WITH A BOTTLE OF JAEGER.” While I’m planning to whip up shrimp tacos with buttermilk pancakes (don’t judge), I might just switch to Twinkies after his suggestions.
Brown later expanded his menu, recommending we “Turn off the lights and run 23 Slim Jims through the juicer” while also advising his followers to stock up on cat food. This amusing breakdown perfectly captures the quirky blend of humor and anxiety many of us are experiencing right now.
Since the pandemic, Alton Brown and his wife, restaurant designer Elizabeth Ingram, have gained popularity with their live cooking show, Quarantine Kitchen. What began as a spontaneous project has evolved into an engaging series, with fans enthusiastically responding to the more candid side of Brown, with comments like “Vulgar Alton is the Alton we’ve been waiting for.”
As his tweet storm reached its peak, Brown concluded with a rallying cry: “Who’s with me?” and followed up with a louder, “I SAID WHO’S WITH ME?” urging everyone to tune in and join the culinary chaos.
