Alton Brown just released his highly anticipated cookbook, EveryDayCook [2] ($35), and the Food Network star appeared on ABC's The Chew to make the first recipe within its pages, a breakfast carbonara [3] with linguine pasta. Alton said the inspiration came from some folks who told him "pasta for breakfast [4] should be a thing." He got to thinking about carbonara, which traditionally has bacon and eggs, so according to Alton, it's "halfway to breakfast." He swaps in breakfast sausage for bacon, and then there's a little orange zest as a nod to the ultimate breakfast drink second to coffee: OJ!
