Is Alton Brown OK? TV host goes on pre-election drinking frenzy, tickled Internet says 'drunk Alton is the best'

Alton Brown's pre-election Twitter charade is all about mainlining moonpies and snorting cheese powder and more and Twitter is here for it

Alton Brown, the famous chef, bestselling author of multiple cookbooks and TV host of 14 season runner 'Good Eats' had a live pre-election Twitter meltdown. His Twitter frenzy featured every bit of strange food pairing recommendations while he claimed to be drinking jaegar and cumin. While Twitter users were quick to thank him for the much needed delight, they also wondered if he was okay.

It all started with an innocent tweet where Brown wrote: "No matter what happens tomorrow, we’ll still have tiny chocolate doughnuts." Followed by another, "I'm seriously thinking about @LittleDebbie #NuttyBars and cigarettes. Honestly, like at the same time."

But things took a strange turn pretty quickly as the 'Iron Chef America' host flexed his food muscles with a string of chaotic food and drink recommendations which started with:

"So many Food Network people are like 'oh, I'm going to braise short ribs in elderberry jam...' Screw that, I'm going to mainline moon pies and snort cheese powder!"

He quickly followed it up with, "I'M TALKING ABOUT PIPING SPAGHETTIOS INTO STALE TWINKIES AND EATING THEM NAKED IN THE SHOWER WITH A BOTTLE OF JAEGER" and then added in another tweet, "I HAVE 17 CANS OF DUNCAN HINES FROSTING AND I'M NOT AFRAID TO USE THEM. BACK THE HELL OFF!"

He also asked, "HAS ANYONE ACTUALLY EVER MET A 'JOLLY RANCHER'? and declared, "PRINCE SAID IT BEST 'LET'S GET CRAZY.'" 

Twitter obviously went bonkers as he kept the "drunk tweets" coming. 

Twitter followers wasted no time in saying that drunk Brown was exactly what they needed right now. A follower said, "I MAINTAIN THAT DRUNK ALTON BROWN IS THE BEST ALTON BROWN. (Sir, put down the Spaghettios)." One user wrote, "What I needed tonight was to watch Alton Browns brain melt in real time to distract me from the election
I don’t know how I’ll ever be able to repay you." While another said, "If you could keep this up all day tomorrow, it would really help the rest of us stay distracted from... You know... Everything. Thanks in advance."

Alton kept the charade of strange drinking combos coming as he tweeted, "CANNED FRUIT SALAD AND CHEEZE WIZ WITH HERSHEY'S SYRUP AND GIN" followed by "I want you to go out right now and buy Fritos and cat food." 

Ultimately, Alton asked to "Turn off the lights and run 23 Slim Jims through the juicer" and added, "I SAID 'WHO'S WITH ME'? To which a user wrote, "Someone put new batteries in Alton. His are running low," and his repartee came quick, "Back off, Tyler. You're out of your element."

A Twitter user ascertained, "I am 100% here for ‘You can’t stop me, you can only hope to contain me’ Alton Brown."

Alton's amusing Twitter interactions didn't go unnoticed by verified Twitter users as Joanne Freeman, Yale's award-winning historian replied "backs quietly out of the room" and Rob Anderson, the US house of rep candidate for Louisiana said, "I picked a bad week to stop snorting PeptoBismol."

In conclusion, listen to Brown when he says, "YOU THINK YOU KNOW WHAT CRAZY LOOKS LIKE? I'VE GOT MARSHMALLOW FLUFF AND THREE FEET OF GARDEN HOSE! YOU WANNA DANCE?"

Recently, Brown has come with 'Quarantine Quitchen', a quarantine cooking series in YouTube where Brown takes basic ingredients like crackers and onions to whizz up culinary magic. In Pantry Raid: Cookie Edition, a fan-favourite series, Brown wears a mad scientist hat as he experiments with recipes like peanut butter cookies.
