Alton Brown was in town this weekend for the release of his third Good Eats cookbook (the last one, as the Food Network standard ends this fall) as well as for the New York City Wine and Food Festival.

Plus, it had Wendie Malick as the defense attorney. The debate about celebrity chefs makes Gothamist think about the talk at the Museum of Radio & Television with cookbook authors and TV personalities Jeff Steingarten, Mario Batali, Alton Brown and Giada DeLaurentiis. Dan Dickinson reports that the talk got ugly, with Steingarten complaining that the TV personalities had an unfair advantage because they had TV shows. We wish we had seen it. more ›
