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
Everything in food is science. The only subjective part is when you eat it.
Alton Brown
Stuffing is evil. Stuffing adds mass, so it slows the cooking. That's evil because the longer the bird cooks, the drier it will be.

I'm not a slave driver or a yeller. I was yelled at in kitchens and other workplaces.
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.

Laminated Lettuce ... perfect for holiday gift giving.
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.
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
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
I'm loyal and very good about giving people opportunities.
Alton Brown
The way to any woman's heart, be she witch or Wonderwoman, princess or Pocahontas, is through her stomach.
Alton Brown
All that [replacing of fat] does is lead to dissatisfaction and I think that dissatisfaction results in overeating.
Alton Brown
Although I don't take myself very seriously, I do take my work extraordinarily seriously.
Alton Brown
Last year, I made a refrigerator in my basement. And I needed to because I needed to figure how - you know there is no such thing as 'cold.' There is only less heat.
