Ask Behr anything about anything not related to food

HBPW sprang it on me when I walked in after work. Lol

It apparently applies to the "browning" of any food.
Its the chemical reaction that happens to proteins and sugars during browning, like browning marshmallows, that gives the food its flavor, and produces that wonderful smell...like baking bread, grilling steaks. I didn't learn about it until 2012.

I was curious if we had discussed it in here before so I did a search. Only time was in January of 2017 in the original Ask Behr thread. It was locked but this was us talking about celebrity Chefs.

"Julia and Jacquez are my two "old school cooking Gods", for lack of a better term.

Gordon and Emeril are my favorite male celebrity Chefs and Giada and Cat would be my favorite females. The one thing they all 4 have in common that I respect is, they all have worked or still do, in a restaurant as a Chef.

Least favorite? Bobby Flay. Can't stand him.

Alton Brown? I like him, but he's in a different class, in my opinion. The best way I can describe him, he's a Rocket Scientist than incorporates his talents into his hobby of cooking. If I didn't know how to prepare a Baked Alaska or Creme Burlee, or I wanted to know more about the Maillard Reaction and Transglutaminase, he would be my first choice."

Well if I had money
Tell you what I'd do
I'd go downtown and buy a mercury or two
Whose junkpile piece of Chhhhhh--evelle is this?
You boys come here to race or just kiss?
Don't you wanna know what I got underneath my hood?
I know she might sound like she's missing
But buddy, she could teach you a lesson
In just a quater mile, and I'll smoke you good

In my Foooouurrrr55 Rocket.......
