Alton brown! what a man



This week we ill be looking at the wonderfu works of my man alton brown. We will check out some of the shows he has appeared on as well as look at his show Good eats!

Alton brown seems to be appearing in almost every food network show these days. He has appeared in Chopped, Iron chef, The next iron Chef, Good eats, 30 minute meals, The best thing i ever ate...the list goes on and on. SO what makes this man such a culinary icon? Good question, but there are many answers to that one.
Believe it or not Alton brown did not pursue food to start. He actually received his in Drama from the university of Georgia. He always had a passion for food, and it lead him to be one of the most know culinary icons today. Brown is a culinary genius. HE knows the genetic make up of almost every plant and vegetable it seems like. The man is a walking food encyclopedia. On his show good eats hes shows his culinary skills by not simply cooking, but explaining why each of these foods go together. I find it so interesting to watch. Alton brown has a way of breaking down ingredients and then rebuilding them in order to create something so so yummy. For Alton, it is not simply just about the meal, its about decoding the parts of a meal to decipher why/ how each ingredient works.

Apart from being a cullinary genuous he is also a writer, and has written many books on food, and even some on weightloss. His one serires "Im just here for the food" is simply brilliant.  Alton brown may be considered the face of the food netwrok and for good reasons
