More St. Louis TV Fame

So, Alton Brown, on his road show "Feasting on Asphalt," ate at Fast Eddies and Pie Town Stomping Grounds in Alton (with a whole fun goofy thing about the pronunciation differences), and then went on a donut tour of the 'Lou. Cool. Pie Town, not everyone knows about it I'm guessing, is in a tucked-away part of Alton near to where I lived in Bethalto. I went there rather a lot, only place within five miles making espresso. Two observations from Mr. Brown: Fast Eddies makes the only chicken wings worth eating he's ever had (that's the Chick on a Stick, BTW), and Pie Town the only pecan pie north of the Mason-Dixon line he's ever had that stands up to scrutiny. As to the donuts, that was very fun. I've looked for a list of the ones he visited but no luck so far. Definitely he went to World's Fair and Drive-In Donuts.
