10 January, 2006...
Celebrity chef Alton Brown has been hospitalized for what are being called miraculously minor injuries after an
encounter with one ingredient that wasn't going to be taken so easily.
Reportedly, crewmates watched as a 40 foot squid attacked Brown, swallowing him whole. One eye
witness had this to say on the horrible encounter:"I guess giant squid-man is just like us. All he wants is some good eats."
This is the second giant squid sighting this year, after fisherman found the then thought mythical creature
in their nets last September. Now we can honestly say that after this so-called showdown, shockingly sized squid are
far from fictional.
Luckily for Brown, what goes in, must come out...eventually. He was found washed
up on shore three days later by head-hunting natives. (They quickly turned him over to US authorities after
he repeatedly chastised them for using "unitaskers" when they attempted to cook him and not using kosher salt.)
Brown remains positive about his experience and plans to keep production on schedule, releasing new episodes
of Good Eats in February.
