More quotes by Alton Brown
Butter typically melts around, you know, 90 Fahrenheit, as opposed to about 20 degrees higher for lard. So what that means is that when you're working with it, the lard is going to stay more solid, which is great for flakiness.

I do know I'm a control freak.

My advice: write down everything you eat. It's amazing what that self honesty can do for you. (Do you really want to have to confess that doughnut? I thought not.)
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.

I'm just sitting around thinking about turkey.

I spent a college semester in a small town in Italy - and that is where I truly tasted food for the first time.

I'm too tired to hate.

'Outlaw Cook' was a revelation. Folks like Jeff Smith and Marcella Hazan got me interested in cooking, but John Thorne pushed me into the path that I follow to this day. This is the only cookbook I've ever read that understands how men really eat: over the sink, in the dark, greasy to the elbows.

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
Although I don't take myself very seriously, I do take my work extraordinarily seriously.
Alton Brown
I never rated my cuddle factor, but I expect it's pretty low.
Alton Brown
I feel a strong wakeup call and need to build social connections.

Your patience will be rewarded.

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.

I like television. I still believe that television is the most powerful form of communication on Earth - I just hate what is being done with it.
