More quotes by Alton Brown
I do like artfully breaking rules.
Alton Brown
I'm an absolute connoisseur of cheeseburgers and like to think that I can detect even mere percentages of shift in fat content in ground meat in a burger and can actually name the temperature to which it was actually cooked to the degree if I'm, you know, really on my game.
Alton Brown
I became a cook so I could cook and tell stories in wacky ways.
Alton Brown
I think a lot of food shows, especially when we started 'Good Eats' back in the late '90s, they were still really about food. 'Good Eats' isn't about food, it's about entertainment. If, however, we can virally infect you with knowledge or interest, then all the better.
Alton Brown
The only unitasker allowed in my kitchen is a fire extinguisher.
Alton Brown
So I quit my job and went to the New England Culinary Institute for the full two years and worked in the restaurant industry after that until finally I thought I had a grasp on what I needed to do what I do.

Slicing a warm slab of bacon is a lot like giving a ferret a shave. No matter how careful you are, somebody's going to get hurt.

What tends to happen is that people will go - they've got hot broth, you know, they've added some liquid to their drippings, they've brought that up to heat. And then they try to add in a big clump of just kind of a handful of flour, and of course, it turns into library paste.
Alton Brown
I say grace. I'm a big believer in grace. I happen to believe in a God that made all the food and so I'm pretty grateful for that and I thank him for that. But I'm also thankful for the people that put the food on the table.
Alton Brown
The skin is forming because of proteins, just like if you cook milk or anything else that's got a coagulant protein in it.
Alton Brown
I had kicked around the idea for Good Eats when I was directing commercials.
Alton Brown
I love to have battles of the wits with people that can dish fast and dirty - and it leads to problems occasionally, 'cause I can sound mean without attempting to be mean.
Alton Brown
I hate using the word coagulant.
Alton Brown
Good service can save a bad meal, but there is no level of food that can save bad service.
Alton Brown
The thing that helped me get into the film business was that I went to school in Athens, Georgia and managed to get on, um, working on music videos for a band called R.E.M. and that kind of opened up a lot of doors for me.
Alton Brown
I approach cooking from a science angle because I need to understand how things work. If I understand the egg, I can scramble it better. It's a simple as that.
Alton Brown
Cooking is an observation-based process that you can't do if you're so completely focused on a recipe.
Alton Brown
Now my wife may think she's locked me out of the kitchen but MacGyver's not my patron saint for nothing.
Alton Brown
I grill, therefore I am.
Alton Brown
Remember, America: organization will set you free.
