Flame is bad. Flame does nasty things to food. It makes soot and it makes deposits of various chemicals that are not too good for us. The last thing you really want to see licking at your food while it's on a grill is an actual flame.

More quotes by Alton Brown
I'm loyal and very good about giving people opportunities.
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
All that [replacing of fat] does is lead to dissatisfaction and I think that dissatisfaction results in overeating.
Alton Brown
The journey of a thousand miles begins with a cash advance.
Alton Brown
I never rated my cuddle factor, but I expect it's pretty low.
Alton Brown
A meringue is really nothing but a foam. And what is a foam after all, but a big collection of bubbles? And what's a bubble? It's basically a very flimsy little latticework of proteins draped with water. We add sugar to this structure, which strengthens it. But things can, and do, go wrong.
Alton Brown
Laughing brains are more absorbent.
Alton Brown
If there's something I feel certain of, it is that we're not very aware of each other and that's largely because of social media.
Alton Brown
I grill, therefore I am.
Alton Brown
I only really fake it anymore with sommeliers who are being really snotty to me and I don't want to take their grief and so I try to do something to kind of throw them off or put them on the defensive, even if I don't know what I'm talking about
Alton Brown
I think in the end there are only 20 or 30 tenets of basic cooking. It's going at perhaps the same issue from different angles, from different points of view, from different presentation styles, that really makes things sink in and become embedded.
Alton Brown
I don't like to be polarizing. It's not who I am.
Alton Brown
I'm just sitting around thinking about turkey.
Alton Brown
I'm like a really goofy home ec teacher.
Alton Brown
I never spoke about politics, with the exception of Election Night.
Alton Brown
My first book is really about heat. That book, for me, was an exploration of heat as ingredient. Why we don't talk about heat as an ingredient, I don't quite understand, because it is the common ingredient to all cooking processes.
Alton Brown
I spent a college semester in a small town in Italy - and that is where I truly tasted food for the first time.
Alton Brown
That's the ultimate goal of most turkey recipes: to create a great skin and stuffing to hide the fact that turkey meat, in its cooked state, is dry and flavorless. Does it have to be that way? No. We just have to focus on what the turkey is and what the turkey needs.
Alton Brown
What happens is that in each clump you've got the gelatinization of starches, which happens very quickly at the surface of the clump and it kind of forms a protective skin around this dry hunk of flour.
Alton Brown
I've learned that you shouldn't have preconceived notions about anybody.
