My feeling has always been that 'Good Eats' would have never happened had it been left to a committee.
From Alton Brown
The problem is I am both a procrastinator and a power junkie, so I am very frustrating to work with.
My college degree was in theater. But the real reason, if I have any success in that milieu, so to speak, is because I spent a lot of years directing, I spent a lot of years behind the camera.
Enough people have now mentioned Bill Nye the Science Guy to me that I now desperately avoid it all costs.
Recipe writers hate to write about heat. They despise it. Because there aren't proper words for communicating what should be done with it.
Seriously. I'm not very bright, and it takes a lot for me to get a concept - to really get a concept. To get it enough that it becomes part of me. But when it happens I get real excited about it.
I grill, therefore I am.
You don't 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 it's on a grill is an actual flame.
My mantra was to educate people - to actually give them the know-how they could use - and to do it in a very subversive kind of way. I would entertain them, and I was going to teach them whether they knew it or not.
I'm like a really goofy home ec teacher.
