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 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
