Alton Brown Chef Quotations

The worst food you'll ever eat will probably be prepared by a 'cook' who calls himself a 'chef.' Mark my words.

Very good cooks who are employed as 'chefs' rarely refer to themselves as 'chefs.' They refer to themselves as 'cooks.'

It ain't what you got, it's what you know and do with what you got, ... The difference between a cook and a chef is understanding what's going on.

In the end the French chef that nearly killed me became one of my best friends, and she could never quite understand how that happened.
