ALLUSIONS (3)
ADD ALLUSIONS-
Colonel Bob Boatwright Colonel Bob's white suit, beard and mustache, southern accent, and use of terms such as "finger-lickin' good" summon memories of Harlan Sanders, founder of Kentucky Fried Chicken and to many people, stereotypical "southern gentleman." His chain used finger-lickin' good as an advertising slogan before it became a wiser idea NOT to emphasize how much fat the product contained.
-
Alton Brown: "Two sauciers, each alike in dignity, here in fair kitchen where we set our scene." Alton's paraphrasing the first couplet from Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet which tells the story of two lovers whose families were murderous enemies. It ties to the episode's running joke about the conflict between lovers of grits and lovers of polenta.
