Your Last Meal | Alton Brown wants his wife’s ‘witchy’ soup

The Food Network star gets personal in his new book of essays. Plus, some behind-the-scenes tea on the channel’s rocky beginnings. 
 

Alton Brown

Alton Brown hosted Good Eats on the Food Network for 16 seasons, and says Julia Child, Mr. Wizard and Monty Python were his inspirations for the wacky, science-driven TV show he created. He just released his 10th book, Food for Thought: Essays and Ruminations. 

Alton famously despises single-use gadgets, but he tells host Rachel Belle about the one item that must be present in every kitchen. He talks about why he is not worried about ChatGPT taking his job as a recipe developer, and admits that his wife Elizabeth, an interior designer, is a far more talented cook than he is.
