Because I took notes while watching the show.. heh.
Alton Brown's pieces of wisdom:

#5 The best ingredient to learn to cook with is eggs.
#6 The best kitchen tool is the kitchen table.

#10 Never eat a shrimp cocktail in an airport.
I wonder if I'm breaking any copyright laws by posting this. Well, if you are a self-proclaimed foodie, you must see his Edible Inevitable tour because I obviously can't deliver his anecdotes and reasons the way he can. He's hilarious. He's candid. He knows so much. I wanted to shake his hand. I want to be him.
