Alton Brown Good Quotations

Well, Food Network has complete control, since they own everything. But the way I like to put it is this: If you don't like Good Eats, it's my fault.

Good service can save a bad meal, but there is no level of food that can save bad service.

Very good cooks who are employed as 'chefs' rarely refer to themselves as 'chefs.' They refer to themselves as 'cooks.'

I had kicked around the idea for Good Eats when I was directing commercials.

My feeling has always been that Good Eats would have never happened had it been left to a committee.

It's not perfect by any means, but I do think I wrote a pretty good argument for it being better than shoving your hand over the fire.
