I say grace. Im a big believer in grace. I happen to believe in a God that made all the food and so Im pretty grateful for that and I thank him for that. But Im also thankful for the people that put the food on the table. – Alton Brown
I am a filmmaker. That is all Ive ever been. You know, Martin Scorsese makes films about the mob. And I make movies about food. – Alton Brown
I kept thinking, Somebody has to make a food show that is actually educational and entertaining at the same time… a show that got down to the why things happen. Plus, I hated my job – I didnt think it was very worthwhile. – Alton Brown
You dont 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 its on a grill is an actual flame. – Alton Brown
