Alton Brown Has a Strange Cookie-Eating Habit — For a Very Sweet Reason — Cookies

This weekend I was listening to one of my favorite podcasts, Judge John Hodgman, and heard something I just had to share. If you’re unfamiliar, John Hodgman plays a fake internet judge in a fake court that’s open to hearing various disputes from listeners. Although the lawsuits are not always food-related, there certainly are a lot that are. Perhaps the most well-known case included two people arguing whether or not a hot dog is a sandwich. (The court ruled it is not.)

Back to this weekend: I was listening to episode 358 (cheekily named Chips Annoy!), featuring a couple who disagreed about how well-done chocolate chip cookies needed to be before they could be pulled out of the oven. Alton Brown was a guest witness, so naturally I was even more enthralled than usual.

He had lots to say about the process of making chocolate chip cookies. The biggest takeaway, however, came around 32 minutes in … and it was more about the eating of the cookies than the making.

First, I want to say thank you for convincing me to do Tabata! I was struggling to lose weight and Finally I found something that helped! I really appreciate your coaching! - Craig T.

Ever since I was convinced to do Tabata I have seen huge results, I lost 6 pounds and gained energy in the first 3 weeks. I have been working out for 3 months before I decided to do Tabata and I struggled to lose weight. At first I thought "How am I losing weight by bringing my heart rate up then cooling down then bringing it up again?" I don’t know how it works but it does! Thank you!! - Theresa F.

The first day of Tabata, I wondered WHAT AM I DOING - I AM 56 !! Five weeks later I knew that it was what I needed. I learned that I could push myself well beyond my comfort zone and feel good later. I have a marked improvement in physical as well as emotional endurance. - Lyn C.

When I was first told about Tabata I was very excited from the word go, however that excitement stemmed from the fact that I had no clue what it meant. I missed the first week of class b/c I was traveling for work so when I came in during the 2nd week I had some making it up to do. It was hard at first b/c my body wasn't used to working out at such a fast pace, but once I got into a rhythm I started to feel very good. These classes are no joke. If you stick with it you will leave there feeling stronger, healthier and overall better about yourself and what you've accomplished. I would recommend these classes to anyone. Darrin is a great trainer and he'll keep you going with his energy. - Jami L.
