They have the episode guide up and they actually give you the sites where they went before the episodes air. Six episodes this season and they are following the Mississippi north from Louisiana to the source in Minnesota. The most anticipated part for me would be to see what Alton thinks of Fast Eddie's Bon Air in Alton Illinois. One of the great bars in the world, cheap food, plentiful beer, and a place where Guy from FN would get his butt kicked. You will find serious Harley fans there, and not a bunch of lawyers on a fantasy trip, these guys are for real and were probably at Altamont. Also kind of curious about what Alton thinks about his namesake city. Tue Jul 24 19:53:40 -0700 2007 11826 Phaedrus 1 2780295 OK now I'm really pissed. This is the second time Alton has come through the STL area, and neither time did he call ahead to let me know or come by for dinner. How rude... :D Tue Jul 24 19:58:09 -0700 2007 2780285 19113 Pylon 2 2780957 Tell me about it, I even cleaned out the spare broom closet to put him and his guys up last time. Wed Jul 25 05:58:34 -0700 2007 2780295 11826 Phaedrus 1 2780969 We saw on the previews where he stops in Alton. First thing out of our mouths was "Fast Eddie's Bon Air!" Can't wait for this episode. I'm thrilled FoodNetwork has decided to have a second series of Feasting on Asphalt. Wed Jul 25 06:07:39 -0700 2007 2780285 64168 kkak97 1 2782183 I'm happy to see he's stopping at one of the Maid-Rite locations in the Quad Cities. Good, sloppy food there. Wed Jul 25 10:50:10 -0700 2007 2780285 66883 Hamhock 1 2783196 We're thrilled. My sister, brother-in-law and I just happened to be driving from Arkansas down to Louisiana via the Tamale Trail just after the series starts. Can't wait to hit some of these places. They already know some of them. Can hardly wait to try KoolAid pickles in the Delta. So far no luck talking them into a side trip to Clarksdale. New Orleans calls. Wed Jul 25 15:06:17 -0700 2007 2780285 32444 MakingSense 2 2783277 I can't wait for the new series, either. As I've posted before, he went through my neck of the woods last time (around Ontario, Calif.) I wonder, has anyone actually ever seen/met Alton or his crew as they're shooting these things??
