I don't know about the rest of you, but I've never really been that big of a fan of grapefruit. Until now. Thanks to the good man Alton Brown (he hosts the show Good Eats on Food Network) I know like eating grapefruit.
I love how Alton actually explains some of the science behind the food we eat and the recipes he cooks. Anyway, he explained that the best way to get rid of the bitter flavor of this citrus fruit is to do a combo of sugar and salt. So you sprinkle some sugar on top of your halved grapefruit and you actually torch the sugar (so you caramelize it like you would for creme brulee). Then while the sugar is still warm you sprinkle some sea salt on it. In the words of Alton Brown...Those are some "good eats".
