Alton Brown (born Los Angeles, California, July 30, 1962) is a well-known U.S. television personality and chef best known for his long-running show Good Eats seen on the Food Network. He has also been a television cinematographer. Good Eats mixes cooking, cooking techniques, and the science behind it in an individualistic way. The show will end after 249 episodes although several specials are planned.[1][2]

During his professional career Brown was the director for photography for R.E.M.s music video The One I Love and has directed television commercials. As an author he has written Alton Brown's Gear for Your Kitchen, I'm Just Here for More Food: Food x Mixing + Heat = Baking, Good Eats: The Middle Years, and Good Eats: The Early Years.

Alton is a resident food historian and commentator on Food Network’s Iron Chef America. He also is a host and judge for the reality series The Next Iron Chef.

His love of cooking started early in life after being guided by both his mother and grandmother in all things culinary.

Brown attended the New England Culinary Institute in Montpelier, Vermont, US in preparation for writing and starring in his Food Network television show Good Eats.[3][4]
