Exhibit A: Alton Brown

Alton Brown is entertaining and does good things explaining what's going on in cooking stuff, but he's also a crackpot.

What makes him a crackpot?

His crackpot ideas, of course!

Alton Brown: I hate unitaskers! (Pulls out a unitasker.) This is not a unitasker because (some BS reason).

Alton Brown: Here's a really easy way to do something, anyone can do it no matter how busy. (Starts some long involved process that 99% of people would never go through the trouble to do.)

Alton Brown: Here's something kids will love. (Makes something no kid would touch with a 10-foot pole.)

Plus, he has unsound ideas on cheese grating. I mean, please. You can't get good leverage when using a four-sided grater, and his little cheese collection container at the bottom of his grater is way too small. You need a planar grater if you're grating by hand and want efficiency. :p

I was already in a tizzy before Bryophyte's post.

I'm not seeing it.

Look up "headcheese." According to your argument, it would be a type of cheese.
Look up "hotdog." According to your argument, it's a dog.
Hamburger would come from a pig.
An oatmeal creme pie certainly isn't a pie.
A child eating "sugar smacks" doesn't end up with a handprint across the side of his head.
And, a mushroom certainly isn't a location for relaxing Alaskan sled dogs.

I guess if we have to go with the name, I better do something drastically different in the PARKway.

As long as you don't bring the puns into the bedroom. You could literally kill someone.

I've thought long and hard about this. I've asked world authorities and tested it myself by eating over a dozen of them.

I have come to this conclusion.

A cheesecake is a burger. A sweet sweet sexy burger that I would make love to if it had a pulse.

Dodecahedrons are the shape of choice for the fine cake that is Cheesecake.
