More quotes by 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
We are fat and sick and dying because we have handed a basic, fundamental and intimate function of life over to corporations. We choose to value our nourishment so little that we entrust it to strangers. This is insanity. Feed yourselves. Feed your loved ones. And for God's sake feed your children.
Alton Brown
Now my wife may think she's locked me out of the kitchen but MacGyver's not my patron saint for nothing.
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
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 am publicly apolitical.
Alton Brown
If you're good with a knife, you don't need your eyes.

The journey of a thousand miles begins with a cash advance.

I never spoke about politics, with the exception of Election Night.
Alton Brown
What tends to happen is that people will go - they've got hot broth, you know, they've added some liquid to their drippings, they've brought that up to heat. And then they try to add in a big clump of just kind of a handful of flour, and of course, it turns into library paste.
Alton Brown
I had kicked around the idea for Good Eats when I was directing commercials.
Alton Brown
If my wife made childhood obesity her mission and I signed a law making 1/8 cup of tomato paste a vegetable, I'd be sleeping on the sofa.
Alton Brown
There are no bad foods, only bad food habits.
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
The jewel of the lard is right around the kidneys. But this is a fat that has a very specific crystalline formation and a high melting point.
Alton Brown
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 approach cooking from a science angle because I need to understand how things work. If I understand the egg, I can scramble it better. It's a simple as that.
Alton Brown
I'm prickly. I fuss over every single detail.
Alton Brown
The kitchen's a laboratory, and everything that happens there has to do with science. It's biology, chemistry, physics. Yes, there's history. Yes, there's artistry. Yes, to all of that. But what happened there, what actually happens to the food is all science.

I played every bad guy in Shakespeare.
