Food Network Re-Ups Alton Brown

NEW YORK, January 4: Food Network has inked a three-year
deal for Alton Brown to produce new seasons of Good Eats and Iron Chef America, as well as assorted specials.

Additionally, Brown will produce a new season of the limited
series Feasting on Asphalt, titled Feasting
on Waves, premiering this summer.

Feasting on Waves will
see Brown explore the people, cultures and food of the Caribbean. Trading in
the road for the water, Brown will uncover interesting cuisine from real
mom-and-pop restaurants, food stands and wherever else the waves may take him.

Brooke Johnson, the president of Food Network, commented:
“We are thrilled to continue our long-standing relationship with Alton and look
forward to creating compelling programs with him. Good Eats launched in 1999, its popularity and that of Alton
is a testament to the creativity and longevity of our talent and programming.”

“Food Network is my home and I am staying home,” said Brown.
“I’m looking forward to producing more and varied shows with the network and am
especially excited about Feasting on Waves,
which will bring a whole new perspective to food.”
