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
I'm an absolute connoisseur of cheeseburgers and like to think that I can detect even mere percentages of shift in fat content in ground meat in a burger and can actually name the temperature to which it was actually cooked to the degree if I'm, you know, really on my game.
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.
Alton Brown
Wine is like women. It tempts you it comforts you it confuses you and can even turn on you when you least expect it. It can be your friend one day and your enemy the next.
Alton Brown
I feel like being on Broadway will convince my mother that my theater degree was worth it.
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.

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.

When you're touring, you're constantly in motion.
Alton Brown
The turkey - my number one thing that people don't get is take that sucker out of the refrigerator about three hours before you plan on cooking it.
Alton Brown
I keep the ThunderCats thermos safely in the kitchen.
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
Gluttony is wrong. It's wasteful.
Alton Brown
Slicing a warm slab of bacon is a lot like giving a ferret a shave. No matter how careful you are, somebody's going to get hurt.
Alton Brown
A meringue is really nothing but a foam. And what is a foam after all, but a big collection of bubbles? And what's a bubble? It's basically a very flimsy little latticework of proteins draped with water. We add sugar to this structure, which strengthens it. But things can, and do, go wrong.
Alton Brown
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.
Alton Brown
My feeling has always been that 'Good Eats' would have never happened had it been left to a committee.
Alton Brown
Remember, America: organization will set you free.
Alton Brown
The journey of a thousand miles begins with a cash advance.
Alton Brown
Good service can save a bad meal, but there is no level of food that can save bad service.
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.
