He is pompous and arrogant to the point of me not being able to watch Iron Chief anymore, not to mention The Next Iron Chief where he takes his pomposity and arrogance to new levels. He is disrespectful to the contestants and to the viewers as well.. I did watch Good Eats for a while but could never stand his campy humor then with the growing realization of what a smug self-satisfied ass he is finished me off for good. What can you expect from a man who basis his whole persona on a washed up techno music star from the 80's like Thomas Dolby. Jackass. I can’t stand this man.

Alton Brown and his stupid, rude, obnobious remarks have me at my limit. Someone else should host this show. Tonight, he pointed out "fungus cooking" in reference to mushrooms being prepared. We all know what mushrooms are and it is not appetizing and in poor taste to make this comment. He was also rude to Geoff Zakarian several times, especially when Zakarian opened a bottle of wine in an unusual way. Alton told us at home not to do that or we'd have glass all over like they did now in Kitchen Stadium. The intact bottle was sitting on the counter. Though, according to the TV Guide, some of his Good Eats shows have interesting subjects, I can't stand to watch it and listen to him. He overuses "kids" to much in referring to us viewers, and he's constantly sticking his face right in the camera so it takes up the TV screen and he has an arrogant attitude. In reference to his remark above about most of the Food Network Stars not knowing each other, my guess is they turn and run when they see him coming. Where did you ever find this idiot? Did he come from a cooking school or science lab? He must work cheap or something cause I can't believe he has a large fan base. He needs a good slap across the face and lesson in how to talk to people without the smart crap. I pity the people that have to work with him. And, if I bought Welch's grape juice, I'd boycott it now that they have him selling that. I hit the mute button in record time when that comes on.

I thought he was going to actually "diss" some people. But he didn't say anything mean at all, just some funny truths. I’m actually a bit dissapointed.

He said nothing mean or untrue. He simply told a story about a woman we all knew was batsh*t anyway and then joked about Giada's slimness in a very playful non-malicious way. Other than that I heard nothing mean, cruel or even slightly rude. Even what he said about Sandra and Giada wasn't that bad. I guess if I had no sense of humor and looked for contempt in every word ever spoken I could see where some of you were coming from. Unfortunately, I am not overly sensitive and can appreciate that we are all human and will make observations about others and share experiences with others when engaged in conversation. Maybe one day, I will be able to see conspiracy in everything. Until then, I guess I'll have to enjoy Alton's charm, talent and humor.
