There is a lot of overt sexual innuendo and sexuality on many of the Food Network shows... I think this can really be attributable to many things, not least of which the fact that cooking of that caliber really is less about nutrition, per se, than a sensual lavishment. I think Alton Brown is probably at the very least cursorily aware of 'alternative lifestyles' and, as most very intelligent people, is not at all threatened by the idea. I would not attribute his vignettes to him being a Dom, rather... I think that the 'lifestyle' as a whole, and certainly the stereotypes of the lifestyle are more and more being slipped into our mainstream entertainments.
