More quotes by 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.
Alton Brown
I'm a filmmaker who decided to go to culinary school. All I picked up was the fact if I didn't understand what was going on with every single ingredient, I could be qualifying for, like, the lunch food job at my daughter's school.

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.

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
Recipe writers hate to write about heat. They despise it. Because there aren't proper words for communicating what should be done with it.
Alton Brown
I keep the ThunderCats thermos safely in the kitchen.
Alton Brown
A home cook who relies too much on a recipe is sort of like a pilot who reads the plane's instruction manual while flying.
Alton Brown
Racism. It's ugly. Even in tubers.
Alton Brown
I'm loyal and very good about giving people opportunities.
Alton Brown
There are no bad foods, only bad food habits.
Alton Brown
My college degree was in theater. But the real reason, if I have any success in that milieu, so to speak, is because I spent a lot of years directing, I spent a lot of years behind the camera
Alton Brown
A balanced diet may be the best medicine. I was eating too much good eats. But people consider that part of your job, you know? Eat. And I do!
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
I do know I'm a control freak.
