I am also a huge fan of Alton's. In fact, in 2007 I got to meet the man in Cincinnati OH at the Home and Garden Show there. My husband drove us 2 hours from Kentucky to be there (Cincy is hubby's hometown).
There is nothing like meeting Alton in person. He is genuine, handsome, and wonderful to his fans. I was given a "golden ticket" to meet him and have him sign my "More Food" cookbook. He took the time to meet hundreds of people, sign autographs, and give his fans some of his time. I got both video and still photos of him when we met. When he said "Hi, I'm Alton, what's your name?" I said "scared to death". He laughed and said "I'm the same as I am on TV, except less well groomed." Funny, genuine, and respectful of his fans, unlike some of the Food Networks "chefs". If you get the chance to meet him, you'll never regret it. He's as witty, charming and friendly in person as he is on TV.
