More quotes by Alton Brown
I like television. I still believe that television is the most powerful form of communication on Earth - I just hate what is being done with it.
Alton Brown
Believe me, a grain is a terrible thing to waste.
Alton Brown
I grill, therefore I am.

Jeff Smith was the Julia Child of my generation. When his television show, 'The Frugal Gourmet,' made its debut on PBS in the 1980s, it conveyed such genuine enthusiasm for cooking that I was moved for the first time to slap down cold cash for a collection of recipes.

I do know I'm a control freak.
Alton Brown
I'm loyal and very good about giving people opportunities.
Alton Brown
I love poking fun at myself. I have a rather mean sense of humor.
Alton Brown
I can’t talk about anything or write about anything if I don’t understand it. So a lot of the stuff that I go through and a lot of the time that I spend is understanding.

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've learned that you shouldn't have preconceived notions about anybody.
Alton Brown
I want to bring things up to room temperature, especially poultry, before I cook it because I want it to cook faster so that there's less moisture loss.
Alton Brown
Gluttony is wrong. It's wasteful.
Alton Brown
I keep the ThunderCats thermos safely in the kitchen.
Alton Brown
I found that if I offered to cook for a girl, my odds improved radically over simply asking a girl out. Through my efforts to attract the opposite sex, I found that not only did cooking work, but that it was actually fun.
Alton Brown
Good service can save a bad meal, but there is no level of food that can save bad service.
Alton Brown
You need to either create a slurry in a cold liquid, which also works with cornstarch, or you've got to do your gravy in a very wide pan and kind of scatter the flour over the top and then very quickly whisk it in.
Alton Brown
I don't like to be polarizing. It's not who I am.
Alton Brown
