Alton's Black Beans

Ok, it's easier than beans(!) to just open a can than to boil them yourself. But did we know they can be flavored as they boil, just like a stock? Will we reconsider? Also, love that this may contain one of the first sightings of the Alton Brown Twitter post-it doodle (1:32).
So much love and appreciation to Scripps & Mr. Brown for the perfection that is Good Eats!
