Alton Brown Quotes

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I feel like being on Broadway will convince my mother that my theater degree was worth it Picture Quote #1

I have nothing but sympathy for the people who are forced to work with me. I’m better now at picking out those that want to play that game with me, and those that don’t Picture Quote #1

The kitchen’s a laboratory, and everything that happens there has to do with science. It’s biology, chemistry, physics. Yes, there’s history. Yes, there’s artistry. Yes, to all of that. But what happened there, what actually happens to the food is all science Picture Quote #1

If my wife made childhood obesity her mission and I signed a law making 1/8 cup of tomato paste a vegetable, I’d be sleeping on the sofa Picture Quote #1

The stubby French painter Toulouse-Lautrec supposedly invented chocolate mousse - I find that rather hard to believe, but there you have it Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I spent a college semester in a small town in Italy - and that is where I truly tasted food for the first time Picture Quote #1

It’s funny, when you look back in history books or American cookery books, one of the reasons that the quinces and cranberries are used so often is because of their natural jelling properties Picture Quote #1

Enough people have now mentioned Bill Nye the Science Guy to me that I now desperately avoid it all costs Picture Quote #1

I think in the end there are only 20 or 30 tenets of basic cooking. It’s going at perhaps the same issue from different angles, from different points of view, from different presentation styles, that really makes things sink in and become embedded Picture Quote #1

I’m going from doing all of the work to having to delegate the work - which is almost harder for me than doing the work myself. I’m a lousy delegator, but I’m learning Picture Quote #1

That’s the ultimate goal of most turkey recipes: to create a great skin and stuffing to hide the fact that turkey meat, in its cooked state, is dry and flavorless. Does it have to be that way? No. We just have to focus on what the turkey is and what the turkey needs Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I am a filmmaker. That is all I’ve ever been. You know, Martin Scorsese makes films about the mob. And I make movies about food Picture Quote #1

Good service can save a bad meal, but there is no level of food that can save bad service Picture Quote #1

My feeling has always been that ‘Good Eats’ would have never happened had it been left to a committee Picture Quote #1

You don’t want flame to hit your food. 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 Picture Quote #1

Recipe writers hate to write about heat. They despise it. Because there aren’t proper words for communicating what should be done with it Picture Quote #1

I’m grateful my teenaged daughter is healthy and well and for the work I do to make a living Picture Quote #1

The way to any woman’s heart, be she witch or Wonderwoman, princess or Pocahontas, is through her stomach Picture Quote #1
