Im a filmmaker who decided to go to culinary school. All I picked up was the fact if I didnt understand what was going on with every single ingredient, I could be qualifying for, like, the lunch food job at my daughters school. – Alton Brown

The kitchens a laboratory, and everything that happens there has to do with science. Its biology, chemistry, physics. Yes, theres history. Yes, theres artistry. Yes, to all of that. But what happened there, what actually happens to the food is all science. – 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 isnt about food, its about entertainment. If, however, we can virally infect you with knowledge or interest, then all the better. – Alton Brown
