It appears Alton Brown, the endearing host of Good Eats, had a motorcycle accident while filming his new limited series, ironically titled “Feasting On Asphalt”. He apparently hit a ditch 20 miles north of Las Vegas and was sent sprawling. Brown sustained a broken clavicle as a result.

The incident was caught on camera and will be featured in episode four. Feasting On Asphalt, which follows Brown as he travels around the US on motorcycle, premieres on the Food Network on July 29th.

On his website, Brown writes:

Just want to say “thanks” to those who sent cards, emails, sides of beef, etc. in the wake of my mishap in the Nevada desert. Although a broken clavicle is indeed a painful thing, at least we know for sure that Isaac Newton pretty much nailed it with that second law of his.

I should heal just fine but I will have a nasty lump on my shoulder for the rest of my days. (Dang … there goes that modeling career). To those ghouls out there who inquired as to whether or not the event was captured on camera you’ll be comforted to know that the crash will be featured in episode 4 of Feasting on Asphalt. But I have to warn you: it was a low charisma event. No flames, no smoke … just a lot of dust and discomfort.

And features a picture of himself looking quite pained:

I am certainly glad to hear that the accident was not more serious and that he’s retained his witty sense of humor about the whole incident. Looking forward to watching Feasting on Asphalt. Especially episode four
