Always
Based
Culinary tradition is not always based on fact. Sometimes it's based on history, on habits that come out of a time when kitchens were fueled by charcoal.

Door
Skin
Heat

Biology
Chemistry
Yes
The kitchen's a laboratory, and everything that happens there has to do with science. It's biology, chemistry, physics. Yes, there's history. Yes, there's artistry. Yes, to all of that. But what happened there, what actually happens to the food is all science.

Thankful
Big
Happen
I say grace. I'm a big believer in grace. I happen to believe in a God that made all the food and so I'm pretty grateful for that and I thank him for that. But I'm also thankful for the people that put the food on the table.

Tuna

We're getting dumbed down, taste-wise.
- Alton Brown
Like
Very
Other
A pie dough comes together exactly like a biscuit only there is very, very little liquid and no leavening involved. Other than that, the same rules apply. My best advice: handle the dough as little as possible.

Television
Like
Still
I like television. I still believe that television is the most powerful form of communication on Earth - I just hate what is being done with it.

- Alton Brown

Making
Replace
Do not allow watching food to replace making food.
- Alton Brown
Happen

Took
I looked for a very long time, knowing that it had to happen, but it took me a long time to find someone with the same background and whatnot and I finally found him.
