I love poking fun at myself. I have a rather mean sense of humor.

So on one hand, honey is an amazingly sophisticated and efficient food source. On the other hand, it's bee backwash.

I don't like to be polarizing. It's not who I am.
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
Do not allow watching food to replace making food.

Good service can save a bad meal, but there is no level of food that can save bad service.
Alton Brown
My feeling has always been that 'Good Eats' would have never happened had it been left to a committee.
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
I do know I'm a control freak.
