Real Popcorn Tastes Better

It really does. Alton Brown covered making popcorn without a special popcorn maker or a microwave on Good Eats using this recipe. Inspired, I bought some white and yellow popcorn from the bulk food aisle at Whole Foods and tried this over the weekend. “Real” popcorn truly is better than microwave popcorn. Even without a topping, the popcorn I made came out at least as good as the best movie theatre popcorn I’ve had. Adding just a touch of real melted butter really completed the “dish.”
