You Are Never Too Old to Learn to Cook

Like many people with a professional interest in food I watch food shows and have some of my favorites.  The show I have always enjoyed most was Alton Brown's "Good Eats".  Brown brings a scientific focus to the art of cuisine design.  He is also a very personal commentator for "Iron Chef America".  My wife introduced me to "Good Eats" many years ago.  I was intrigued to learn that Brown was in his 30s before he attended culinary school.  He moved to Vermont just so he could acquire a professional chef's skills as the first step in his career goal of developing a better cooking show.
