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.
Alton Brown
I only really fake it anymore with sommeliers who are being really snotty to me and I don't want to take their grief and so I try to do something to kind of throw them off or put them on the defensive, even if I don't know what I'm talking about
Alton Brown
I hate using the word coagulant.

Cranberries contain a massive amount of natural pectins. They will gel all on their own, which is why you can basically make cranberry sauce out of filling.
Alton Brown
Cooking is an observation-based process that you can't do if you're so completely focused on a recipe.
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.

I do know I'm a control freak.
Alton Brown
I never rated my cuddle factor, but I expect it's pretty low.
Alton Brown
