I would not want to work for him, but he knows his way around in a kitchen.

I think it's mostly a personality made up for TV. He seems fine. I don't think I would consider the majority of TV chefs to be the top tier in the culinary world. Not to mention, the definition of the "best" recipe isn't static. There's a whole lot of "well how much work do you want to put into it?" and not to mention "are you OK if it has an entire stick of butter in it?"
Guy can't even make a fucking grilled cheese properly
I think that he is an aspen tree, because of the way he is.
Funny guy, but maybe a tad aggressive.
- All trash beyond the early European version of kitchen nightmares
- Probably generally fine as he actually started as a decent chef in actual restaurants, but they are very likely not "his" recipes and instead written and maintained by an editorial staff.
- Unfortunately modeled after actual fine dining restaurant chefs from my first hand experience (though things are likely evolving from after the financial collapse forward and the general shift away from fine dining).
I think he amassed a fortune legitimizing workplace abuse.
He's a good guy. I probably wouldn't get along with him, but that's just different natures.
Thanks for sharing! I had not seen that!
I love how it ended.
"It's 3-2."
"It got two?"
"Um, so, uh, the winner is... James."
"Are you any good at driving?"
"Beaten by a fucking shaggy tramp, that spent four hours peeling his fucking potatoes!"
IF you agree to be a toxic, abusive, bullying shit, for ratings,
THEN that is within you, and your nature can't claim otherwise.

Yeah, stay away from Anthony Hawkins, you just know he's a cannibal deep within.
Seriously, it's 2024 and we still can't differentiate actors from their roles? WTF?
I like the F Word. Most episodes are on YouTube and it's far better than his other personas that you've probably seen.
I really enjoyed watching Alton Brown on "hot ones", he was cool and composed the entire way through, actually had critique of the flavors and why they didn't work well, he never complained about the spiciness of the food,, but had a nuanced and appreciative evaluation of what was occurring in his mouth.
The algo recommended this chuckleheads appearance on hot ones next, he went full schtick with it, I don't think I got hallway through before getting tired of it.
I enjoy seeing him humble (how to cook eggs), or humbled (James May head to head), but I don't like his manic energy and crass style of criticism delivery.
Alton Brown on “hot ones”
Thank you for this recommendation!
I don't watch a lot of hot ones, but his is shoulder above heads better than any other episode of 'hot ones' I've seen. There have been other good episodes, but for a sauce/flavor breakdown Alton Brown does it phenomenally
I watched it last night and the way he was just like, "oh, nice use of ginger", "too much cilantro", and "I can fix this!!" was great! He wasn't focusing on the heat, he was focusing on the taste and it was great!
It's amazing to me that he can separate the discomfort from the quality, I went into the other "chefs"that have done the show looking for similar evaluation, and I've been disappointed every time. Alton Brown is truly another level of professional, I need to re rewatch good eats.
