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 want to bring things up to room temperature, especially poultry, before I cook it because I want it to cook faster so that there's less moisture loss.
Alton Brown
My college degree was in theater. But the real reason, if I have any success in that milieu, so to speak, is because I spent a lot of years directing, I spent a lot of years behind the camera
