“I know people that could serve me canned tuna and saltine crackers and have me feel more at home at their table than some people who can cook circles around me. The more you try to impress people, generally the less you do.”
Alton Brown“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.”
Alton Brown“A balanced diet may be the best medicine. I was eating too much good eats. But people consider that part of your job, you know? Eat. And I do!”
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“The problem is I am both a procrastinator and a power junkie, so I am very frustrating to work with.”

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“I spent a college semester in a small town in Italy - and that is where I truly tasted food for the first time.”
Alton Brown“I'm like a really goofy home ec teacher.”
