Alton Brown is a man on a mission. "There's a drink I developed that I call Brown's Bitter Truth. It's two-parts bourbon, one-part Campari, one-part sweet vermouth, a splash of Gran Marnier, and an orange twist," he says. "I love this drink. I'm on a book tour right now" — in support of Good Eats 2: The Middle Years — "I'm going from city to city, and wherever I go, I teach the bartender how to make it." The Atlanta-based Brown was in town last year largely for the New York City Wine and Food Festival, but he also paid a visit to the New York Academy of Medicine. "As it happens, they have a library with 10,000 culinary pieces, including what is considered to be one of the first cookbooks, the Roman Apicius, one copy of which is in the Vatican and one is here," he explains. "I'm thinking about doing a project about the history of cookbooks. I'm fascinated by where we are in the culinary world, and how we got here, and I'm really interested in tracing that back to its genesis in books."
