Early career

Prior to his cooking career, Alton Brown received a degree in drama from the University of Georgia. He then worked in cinematography and film production. In that field, he is probably best known for his work as the director of photography for the R.E.M. music video, "The One I Love." He also worked as a steadicam operator on the Spike Lee film School Daze. For other uses, see Drama (disambiguation). ...

At some point, he noticed that he was very dissatisfied with the quality of cooking shows then airing on American television, so he set out to produce his own show. Not possessing the requisite knowledge, he enrolled in the New England Culinary Institute, from which he graduated in 1997.[1] Brown states that he had been a poor science student in high school and college, so he began to study the subject as he took cooking training and felt the need to understand the underlying processes of cooking.

Good Eats

Main article: Good Eats

The pilot for Good Eats first aired on the Chicago, Illinois, PBS member station WTTW-TV in July 1998. Food Network picked up the show in July 1999; and, as of 2007, Food Network still airs new episodes. Brown seems to take particular delight in making tongue-in-cheek references to pop culture in his episodes such as an episode on hamburgers in which Brown lectures an actor dressed as cartoon character Wimpy. For trademark reasons, the surname is changed to "Whimpy." Also of note are his numerous references to Fight Club when discussing the cooking processes of lye, such as an episode in which he discussed the process of curing olives. Episode titles include further references, such as "Mission: Poachable," "It's a Wonderful Cake," and "My Big Fat Greek Sandwich." A Good Eats episode takes about three days to produce, according to a special Good Eats episode "Behind the Eats."

Many of the Good Eats episodes feature Brown building makeshift cooking devices in order to point out that many of the devices sold at conventional "cooking" stores are simply fancified hardware store items that are sold at grossly inflated prices, and not much more effective than his "homemade" gizmos. For example, in the episode "Flat Is Beautiful," Brown uses a flat un-glazed quarry stone purchased at a hardware store as a substitute for a much more expensive pizza stone sold at a cooking specialty store. In an episode on barbecue, he made a barbecue smoker out of an electric hot plate, a pie pan, a flower pot (with basin), and a thermometer. He also used a similarly designed smoker in an episode entitled "Where There's Smoke There's Fish" to prepare a salmon. In an episode devoted to coleslaw called "Salad Daze II - Slaw," Brown makes a more convenient shredding device by attaching a cheese grater to a folded cardboard pizza box. In a contribution to Wired Magazine he described converting a paper shredder to function as a pasta machine. He has many times stated "You must think like MacGyver!" He has also expressed a penchant for items that are "multi-taskers" as opposed to "uni-taskers." For instance, in the episode "Choux Shine," he suggests that casual cooks should avoid purchasing a piping bag for applying a batter and instead use a plastic bag with a corner cut out. Brown repeatedly states that the only uni-tasker in his kitchen is a fire extinguisher. (There are a few exceptions: in his book, Alton Brown's Gear for Your Kitchen, he says that he also has a green bean cutter for his pet iguana. Also, in the episode "Olive Me," he reluctantly endorses the use of an olive pitter. He stated that he also uses the olive pitter for cherries, so it isn't strictly a uni-tasker). And in the episode "Cubing Around," season 10, episode 4, he used a meat perforator.

Upon return from commercial breaks, Brown can sometimes be seen relaxing with Harold McGee's On Food and Cooking: The Science and Lore of the Kitchen. Harold McGee writes about the chemistry, techniques and history of food and cooking and is the author of two books that explain kitchen science in an approachable manner. ...

As the expert commentator, Brown is usually heard throughout the episode explaining to the audience what the competing chefs are doing, able to identify most cooking techniques and explain them long before anyone watching can. Occasionally, the camera will cut away from Kitchen Stadium to show Brown as he provides background information about the secret ingredient, such as the different sizes and types of shrimp or clams, or different cuts of meat. Kitchen Stadium was a set constructed in a Fuji TV sound stage in Odaiba for the show Ryoori no Tetsujin; broadcast in the United States by the Food Network as Iron Chef. ...

Feasting on Asphalt

Main article: Feasting on Asphalt

Brown's third series, Feasting on Asphalt, explores the history of eating on the move. In a quest for tasty edibles on the go, Brown and his crew crossed the United States via motorcycle ("As far as I’m concerned, there’s no better way to experience the road than from the back of a bike," according to Brown) in a four-part miniseries about the history of road food. Brown sampled food all along his travel route, often sleeping under the stars between meals. In his traditional style, he included the usual "history of food" segments documenting famous road trips (from the Odyssey to the Crusades, to Lewis and Clark, and Jack Kerouac) and interviews with many of the foodies he met en route.

Alton's Angles

Alton's Angles is a series of Shun Cutlery designed by Brown, and bearing his image. Brown liked the shape of the Shun Vegetable Knife, but had difficulty using it as his knuckles kept hitting the cutting board. Alton's Angles add a 10° angle to the handle of the knife, lifting the knuckles away from the cutting board, and making the knife easier to grasp.[17] Alton's Angles can sometimes be seen on Good Eats.
