More quotes by Alton Brown

Alton Brown
The way to any woman's heart, be she witch or Wonderwoman, princess or Pocahontas, is through her stomach.

I grill almost all of my fish with the skin on because that gives you real protection at least on one side. It's a nice barrier against super high heat which tends to make a lot of fish to turn really flaky. It's very easy to overcook fish on the grill. But I still brush it with oil before I start.

I am a filmmaker. That is all I've ever been. You know, Martin Scorsese makes films about the mob. And I make movies about food.
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
Gluttony is wrong. It's wasteful.
Alton Brown
I hate using the word coagulant.
Alton Brown
If I took my turkey out of the refrigerator and, like, threw it in a dumpster or drug it down the street in New York for a while [it will make people sick].
Alton Brown
I had kicked around the idea for Good Eats when I was directing commercials.
Alton Brown
Cooking is an observation-based process that you can't do if you're so completely focused on a recipe.
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
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
Lumps are caused by one thing and one thing alone - the improper addition of a starch.
Alton Brown
I've learned that you shouldn't have preconceived notions about anybody.
Alton Brown
If you're good with a knife, you don't need your eyes.
