You know most of the food that Americans hold so dear – things like hamburgers and hot dogs – were road food, but even before they were road food, they were peasant food. – 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 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
