Terrible instructor if you are just learning to cook from the scratch.

I'm sorry, don't know if anyone has told you but you are not allowed in any of my threads. Please leave.

After seeing What Would Brian Boitano Make?
I've lost hope for Food Network.

He's awesome!
but he talks way too fawking fast.

Also...he's like the Bill Nye of FN

My only problem with Alton Brown is that he's never actually cooked for a living--which is something you kind of expect when watching the Food Network. Most of his stuff is pretty practical though, and he's good at engineer/nerd to cooking translation. But some of his assertions (no uni-taskers, being too much of a "purist" about some foods, etc...) are kind of stupid.

I think Alton Brown is a cool guy eh makes science and doesn't afraid of anything

>>1182759

Alton's awesome, you chubby fool.

Brown is a born-again Christian and a member of Johnson Ferry Baptist Church in Marietta, Georgia.

>>1182787
That show is shit, guy is a terrible cook and a huge annoying fag.

Anthony Bourdain hates his show.

>>1182859
Yes... what is a "born again" Christian? I am a Baptist myself but this is not familiar to me.

>>1182865

Means you had some sort of conversion experience. As opposed to just being born into it and not giving a shit.

>>1182859
As long as he doesn't start using his show(s) as a platform for religion, then who gives a shit?

>>1182872

He is being marketed as a scientist.

>>1182872

I boycott Christians whenever possible.

>>1182875
He knows his chemistry, thats for damn sure. So what if he doesn't agree with evolutionary biology? (Which he might)

>>1182875
I thought that he was marketed as these american nerds.

Alton can worship a pile of dig shit in his yard for all I care, he has been a big inspiration to me and a big influence on cooking IMO.

As long as he washes his hands after church, I mean.

Also, Alton Brown IS god. Pic related.

>>1182881
I can't see how he wouldn't, he knows too much about plants, animals, bacteria, etc. to not. He's obviously well-educated. Just listen to his stupid jokes, only nerds make those kinds of jokes.

But he could just be a hardcore Christfag too.

>>1182877
> I'm close-minded about people I criticize for being close-minded

>>1182891
lol nice

>>1182890
No, offense but he does not demonstrate anything that you would not learn if you listen what they teach in highschool math, chemistry and biology classes. This is basic knowledge.

>>1182886
Poor you, he does not really give an influence. He just introduces basic techniques and ingredient. Plus he does it in a very delusional way. Take influence from real chef, not from television personalities.

You always use the jewish religious salt because Alton said so, don't you?

Because there is no other type of coarse salt, right? Kosher salt is like downgraded salt since it does not have iodide or anything.

Again, it is a salt supplement designed for religious purposes, I would not wonder if Alton is recommending this stuff just because he himself belongs to some sort of yank cult.

Most kosher salt does not have iodide. Nor does it taste any different from normal salt.

And honestly, Alton is good for inspiring children to cook but don't take his "cooking" hints as your guidelines in life. They are so effing stupid. The guy cannot even cook properly but yet he likes to throw these irrelevancies that he has come up with around.

>>1182904
Yes all the principles are from basic high school education, but claiming to know all the foods that these principles apply to by 10th grade is horseshit, plain and simple.

>>1182904
I didn't learn how a microwave works in highscool. Also, I had no idea how to apply the stuff I did learn in cooking.

Go away fake angie, nobody likes you.

I, uh, like the way he talks.

Thusly.

>>1182912
>>Nor does it taste any different from normal salt.

lolomgwat

>>1182921
Didn't know how microwave works? Did you figure out that some heat magic just happens in it and everything becomes warm?

Anyhow, yes, you do not need to know this cook. Knowing molecular chemistry or applied math has nothing to do with being able to cook.

>>1182947
you seem lost
