What is Alton Brown?
1.
Thomas Dolby's evil twin (or at least a dead ringer for him). Has a cooking show on the Food Network.
One of my favorite episodes is when Alton Brown shows how to brew your own beer.
2.
Host of one of the best cooking shows ever made. A unique combination of cooking science, history and cooking equipment overview with a touch of humor and cast of unforgettable characters. Each episode focuses on a particular food or ingredient, such as steak, garlic, squid, gravy, eggplant (yes, eggplant), etc. The recipes are simple and easy to reproduce.
I learned to cook a steak and baked potatoes the best way from watching alton brown on Good Eats.
