Alton Brown has a show on Food Network called "Good Eats". It mixes cooking, history, and food science in what I find to be a very entertaining half hour show.
I'm sure he 'customized' his KitchenAid but it sure looks cool on his counter with flames on the side.
OK, so I'm an incurable geek....and yes I watch Food Network, and I like it and I don't care what anyone says about it.
