Alton Brown, the host of the show ...and a bit of a geek... walks you through the history and chemistry of his dishes. He never takes himself or the show to seriously but still keep it straight forward enough to keep you focused on the dish and recipe. I love his ability to detail how and why things cook the way they do, and what crazy history goes with it. Don't be surprised if a crew member gets stuck dressing up as a starch particle or a nutritional anthropologist pops in. I know. I didn't know a nutritional anthropologist existed.
