More quotes by 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
I became a cook so I could cook and tell stories in wacky ways.

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 do like artfully breaking rules.
Alton Brown
I'm just sitting around thinking about turkey.
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
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
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
Your patience will be rewarded.
Alton Brown
I'm like a really goofy home ec teacher.
Alton Brown
Although I don't take myself very seriously, I do take my work extraordinarily seriously.
