More quotes by Alton Brown
So on one hand, honey is an amazingly sophisticated and efficient food source. On the other hand, it's bee backwash.
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.

Laughing brains are more absorbent.

So I quit my job and went to the New England Culinary Institute for the full two years and worked in the restaurant industry after that until finally I thought I had a grasp on what I needed to do what I do.

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
Seriously. I'm not very bright, and it takes a lot for me to get a concept - to really get a concept. To get it enough that it becomes part of me. But when it happens I get real excited about it

Jeff Smith was the Julia Child of my generation. When his television show, 'The Frugal Gourmet,' made its debut on PBS in the 1980s, it conveyed such genuine enthusiasm for cooking that I was moved for the first time to slap down cold cash for a collection of recipes.

I think a lot of food shows, especially when we started 'Good Eats' back in the late '90s, they were still really about food. 'Good Eats' isn't about food, it's about entertainment. If, however, we can virally infect you with knowledge or interest, then all the better.

Alton Brown
Good service can save a bad meal, but there is no level of food that can save bad service.
Alton Brown
I played every bad guy in Shakespeare.

Take ice. Ice is fascinating to me. Ice is the one thing in our world that went from an agricultural product to being manufactured.
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
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'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
I love to have battles of the wits with people that can dish fast and dirty - and it leads to problems occasionally, 'cause I can sound mean without attempting to be mean.
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've learned that you shouldn't have preconceived notions about anybody.
Alton Brown
You know we fixate on the food so much itself: “Oh, the ultimate brownie or the ultimate this or that” -- well, let me tell you something: It’s all poop in about 12 hours, okay? The real power that food has is its ability to connect human beings to each other -- that’s the stuff right there and, to me, everything else is secondary to that.

Enough people have now mentioned Bill Nye the Science Guy to me that I now desperately avoid it all costs.
