Feasting on Asphalt is a television series starring Alton Brown of the Food Network programs Good Eats and Iron Chef America. Brown's third series, Feasting on Asphalt explores "road food" in the historical and present-day United States, with an emphasis on unique restaurants and regional cuisine. In the first two seasons, Brown and his crew seek "good eats" across the country, via Brown's BMW motorcycle. "As far as I’m concerned, there’s no better way to experience the road than from the back of a bike," says Brown. During the third season, Brown trades the motorcycle for a boat to island hop throughout the Caribbean with a similar mission.
The cross-country adventure begins in South Carolina. Stops include Mount Pleasant, South Carolina; Washington, Savannah, and Toccoa, Georgia; and ends with a trip to Charlotte, North Carolina.
The adventure continues with Alton and his bike. Stops include Corbin and Bowling Green, Kentucky; Evansville, Indiana; and St. Louis Missouri.
Alton continues his trip through the Midwest and into the Rockies with stops in St. Louis, Missouri; Florence, Kansas; an unknown location in eastern Colorado, and Mexican Hat, Utah.
We join Alton for the final leg in his trip across the country as he cooks with a Navajo family. His trip however comes to a crossroad when he crashes his motorcycle outside of Las Vegas, and spends the rest of the trip in a rented SUV. His adventure comes to an end while on the streets Los Angeles.
Join Alton as he begins his journey along the Mississippi River in search of honest and authentic road food. He and his crew mount their steely steeds at the Gulf of Mexico and start their adventure feasting their way north.
Alton Brown and his renegade band of motorcycling flavor seekers invade Mississippi, a land where just about everything is deep fried and sauced in secrecy.
Alton and the gang roll into Memphis and consume everything in sight from smoked ribs to cherry shakes to chitlins.
Alton and the boys ditch the bikes to camp on a mid-river island for a few days. Then, it's on to St. Louis.
Pies, Pies, and more Pies. The crew is destined to taste every pie in the mid-west. Other stops include Morel picking and harvesting asparagus. Not to mention the fried Chicken Livers.
The ride wraps up with a fishing trip, a very large meal, and a new tattoo. Oh, and some very stinky fish.
