Bikes, Food Geekery, and Deep-Fried Vittles

Those of us blessed with the miracle of basic cable should be on the look-out for the second incarnation of Alton Brown's poetic travelogue, Feasting on Asphalt. This time around, the Food Network uber-geek (and Digital Vittles patron saint) takes his crew on a motorcycle excursion around the Mighty Mississippi to sample the regional (and usually deep-fried) cuisine and culture. Several episodes have already aired, but hey--it's basic cable, so you know there will be reruns galore.
