Good Eats, and Good Philosophy as Well!

Alton Brown has been my favorite TV chef since I first saw his show.  He blends science with cooking in a very entertaining way, and makes the food accessable to your average home chef.  On top of that, he (despite being from the south -- sorry, was that uncalled for?) seems to be a very intelligent and rational person.  My new favorite AB quote?

"We've got science, and science kicks voodoo's butt, any old day"

Now, sure, he was talking about how serious bbq'ers are overly protective of their "dry-rub voodoo", but I think this is a philosophy that applies well to plenty of things (evolution, perhaps?).
