More quotes by Alton Brown
The thing that helped me get into the film business was that I went to school in Athens, Georgia and managed to get on, um, working on music videos for a band called R.E.M. and that kind of opened up a lot of doors for me.

There are no bad foods, only bad food habits.
Alton Brown
A lot of food shows need only to tempt. Some food shows only need to inspire, to empower. And there are a lot of shows that do that.
Alton Brown
Laughing brains are more absorbent.
Alton Brown
I say grace. I'm a big believer in grace. I happen to believe in a God that made all the food and so I'm pretty grateful for that and I thank him for that. But I'm also thankful for the people that put the food on the table.
Alton Brown
A home cook who relies too much on a recipe is sort of like a pilot who reads the plane's instruction manual while flying.

I'm an absolute connoisseur of cheeseburgers and like to think that I can detect even mere percentages of shift in fat content in ground meat in a burger and can actually name the temperature to which it was actually cooked to the degree if I'm, you know, really on my game.
Alton Brown
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
I became a cook so I could cook and tell stories in wacky ways.
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.

You need to either create a slurry in a cold liquid, which also works with cornstarch, or you've got to do your gravy in a very wide pan and kind of scatter the flour over the top and then very quickly whisk it in.
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.
Alton Brown
I grill, therefore I am.

Lumps are caused by one thing and one thing alone - the improper addition of a starch.
Alton Brown
The skin is forming because of proteins, just like if you cook milk or anything else that's got a coagulant protein in it.
Alton Brown
The way to any woman's heart, be she witch or Wonderwoman, princess or Pocahontas, is through her stomach.
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
My feeling has always been that 'Good Eats' would have never happened had it been left to a committee.
Alton Brown
I'm grateful my teenaged daughter is healthy and well and for the work I do to make a living.
