More quotes by Alton Brown
My feeling has always been that 'Good Eats' would have never happened had it been left to a committee.
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
You know most of the food that Americans hold so dear - things like hamburgers and hot dogs - were road food, but even before they were road food, they were peasant food.
Alton Brown
I feel like being on Broadway will convince my mother that my theater degree was worth it.
Alton Brown
Racism. It's ugly. Even in tubers.
Alton Brown
Good service can save a bad meal, but there is no level of food that can save bad service.
Alton Brown
I grill, therefore I am.
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
A pie dough comes together exactly like a biscuit only there is very, very little liquid and no leavening involved. Other than that, the same rules apply. My best advice: handle the dough as little as possible.
Alton Brown
I do like artfully breaking rules.
Alton Brown
I hate using the word coagulant.
Alton Brown
Although I don't take myself very seriously, I do take my work extraordinarily seriously.
Alton Brown
Now my wife may think she's locked me out of the kitchen but MacGyver's not my patron saint for nothing.
Alton Brown
Flame is bad. Flame does nasty things to food. It makes soot and it makes deposits of various chemicals that are not too good for us. The last thing you really want to see licking at your food while it's on a grill is an actual flame.
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
If you really love stuffing, wait until the turkey comes out of the oven, add some of the pan drippings to the stuffing, and bake it in a dish. That's called dressing, and that's not evil - stuffing is, though.
Alton Brown
I played every bad guy in Shakespeare.
Alton Brown
The stubby French painter Toulouse-Lautrec supposedly invented chocolate mousse - I find that rather hard to believe, but there you have it.
Alton Brown
Basting is evil. Basting does nothing for the meat. Why? Skin. Skin is designed to keep stuff out of the bird, so basting just lets heat out of the oven. That means the turkey will take longer to cook... so don't touch that door!
Alton Brown
If there's something I feel certain of, it is that we're not very aware of each other and that's largely because of social media.
