To be perfectly honest, I never watched any of Alton Brown’s shows. I had a vague awareness of him being in the food entertainment industry from some commercials he’s done. So I didn’t know what exactly to expect going into his latest book Food for Thought. What I found were very entertaining and thoughtful essays of his personal life, relationship with food, and career.
He touches on subjects from his career, to culinary cultural appropriation, his childhood, culinary school, his television career, and cooking the perfect roast chicken. His story about making s’mores when his aunt visited when he was a kid and using some of her “chocolate” had me laughing hysterically.
Brown is a wonderful storyteller. He’s witty, charming, and sarcastic. I really enjoyed his self deprecating humor. His narration for this audiobook is excellent. This is a great choice if you’re looking for a palate cleanser book. It’s short, flavorful, and very satisfying. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Many thanks to Simon & Schuster Audio for the complimentary audiobook!

About the Author
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.
