Alton Brown on "Feasting on Waves" Alton Brown on "Feasting on Waves" Alton Brown Pictures Alton Brown is the host of Food Network's "Feasting on Waves." Alton Brown's flair in the kitchen developed early with guidance from his mother and grandmother, a budding culinary talent he skillfully used later "as a way to get dates" in college. Switching gears as an adult, Alton Brown spent a decade working as a cinematographer and video director, but realized he spent all his time between shoots watching cooking shows which he found to be dull and uninformative. Convinced that he could do better, Alton Brown left the film business and moved to Vermont to train at the New England Culinary Institute in Montpelier, Vermont. Soon after, Alton Brown tapped all of his training to create "Good Eats," a smart and entertaining food show that blends wit with wisdom, history with pop culture and science with common cooking sense. Alton Brown not only writes and produces the shows but also stars in each offbeat episode. Alton Brown's first book, "I'm Just Here for the Food" (Stewart, Tabori & Chang, 2002) won the James Beard Foundation Award for Best Cookbook in the Reference category, was one of the bestselling cookbooks of 2002 and has sold over 300,000 copies to date. It was also chosen by Amazon.com as one of the top 50 books of 2002 by both editors and readers. "Alton Brown's Gear for Your Kitchen," his long-awaited homage to tools and gadgetry, was published by STC in September 2003 and was nominated for both a James Beard Award for Best Cookbook in the Tools & Techniques category and an IACP Cookbook Award in the Food Reference/Technical category. Gear is an essential guide to all the "hardware" you need in the kitchen. Packed with practical advice and tips, this book takes a look at what's needed and what isn't, what works and what doesn't. Alton Brown's third book, on baking, "I'm Just Here for More Food," hit bookstores in November 2004 and has since gone on to become a New York Times bestseller. On "Feasting On Asphalt," Alton Brown had only his motorcycle, a few buddies and the clothes on his back during a nostalgic trip across the country to rediscover the disappearing people, places and stories of great American road food. In 2008, Alton Brown traveled the Carribean in search of America's culinary roots and Caribbean flavors in "Feasting On Waves."
