Bookseller recommendation
“I'm a big fan of Alton Brown and really love his enthusiasm and clever use of language in describing food and more. As I finished reading each essay, I would think, "That's my favorite one." I laughed, cried (octopus essay), or nodded my head in agreement to what Brown so eloquently stated. Turns out every essay was my favorite one! Looking forward to sharing this with so many customers!”
— Sara • Roundabout Books
From Alton Brown, the New York Times bestselling cookbook author and beloved culinary food personality, a debut collection of personal essays defined by his flair, wit, and insight.
From cameraman to chef, musician to food scientist, Alton Brown has had a diverse and remarkable career. His work on the Food Network, including creating Good Eats and hosting Iron Chef America and Cutthroat Kitchen, has resonated with countless viewers and home cooks. Now, he shares exactly what’s on his mind, mixing compelling anecdotes from his personal and professional life with in-depth observations on the culinary world, film, personal style, defining meals of his lifetime, and much more.
With his whip-smart and engaging voice, Brown explores everything from wrestling a dumpster full of dough to culinary cultural appropriation to his ultimate quest for the perfect roast chicken. Deliciously candid and full of behind-the-scenes stories fans will love, Food for Thought is the ultimate reading experience for anyone who appreciates food and the people that prepare it.
Alton Brown was directing TV commercials when he got the crazy idea to go to culinary school and reinvent the cooking show. The result was Good Eats, an irreverent, science-forward program that led to Brown working on the Food Network for over twenty years. His live culinary variety shows have toured to hundreds of sold-out crowds across the country since 2013. He is also the winner of a Peabody Award and two James Beard Awards. He lives in Atlanta with his wife, the designer Elizabeth Ingram, and three nefarious canines. Find out more at AltonBrown.com.
