Celebrity Chef Alton Brown is one of the most well-known celebrity chef personalities in the world.

Working as a cinematographer, he became captivated with watching cooking shows in between shots. He found that all the cooking shows he watched, that they were very dry and uninformative; he thought he could do better.  He left the cinematographer business and moved to Vermont to be educated at the New England Culinary Institute in Montpelier, Vermont. Here, he tapped all of his training and created Good Eats, which used his smart and witty comments and blended it with his common sense cooking. Celebrity Chef Speaker Alton Brown stars and produces the Food Network show, which aired in 1999 and after his 249^th episode, he will end the show.

Alton also authored books geared for the “hardware” you will need in your kitchen, and tips/advice on what’s needed in the kitchen and what’s not, what works and what doesn’t. His New York Times bestseller, I’m Just Here for More Food, hit shelves in November 2004. His fourth book, Feasting on Asphalt, documented his motorcycle ride from New Orleans to the Mississippi River. This book also became a TV mini-series on the Food Network. Following the same format of Feasting on Asphalt, the Food Network premiered Feasting on Waves where instead of riding on motorcycles, the cast traveled to the Caribbean and feasted on the local cuisine and met the people who created it.
