The best of Alton Brown yet! I have read all of his cookbooks and learned more about science than cooking (I am still a rotten cook but can make a mean Alton Brown pizza crust!), but this book puts everything in a different and even more interesting light! This is basically a memoir but with funny stories that I will never forget (the blob). Alton gets real talking about his vulnerabilities which makes him even more endearing. I love the end where he talks about his wife and the as hoc podcast they put together- which reminds me to take a look at it right after I finish this review. And for the die hards, there are still a few cooking lessons in here. Great job, Alton, in always keeping us interested in what you are doing!
Thank you NetGalley for an ARC.

Alton Brown has been a favorite of mine and my husband for a considerable number of years now. We have all of the Good Eats cookbooks. We have watched him on so many cooking shows (which it is VERY interesting to see how Alton feels about Food Network now). I must say that I greatly enjoyed this version of a memoir--with essays that range from the foods that define him, an ode to the kitchen table, cultural appropriation of food, how we don't enjoy food for just food's sake anymore.....I cannot wait to recommend this book when it comes out.

Alton Brown writes with the most unique, self-deprecating, intelligent and snarky wit. I enjoyed every minute reading this book.
