He reminds me of a real life version of this guy

I love Alton for one simple reason. He tells me something I didn't already know. Like 'corn didn't originally have husks. They were developed by people to protect corn from insects and disease.'
Jeff Smith was the same way but he got fired when he was arrested for sex with young boys. It's a shame because he was great at American food history going back to colonial days.

He's my favorite. I could listen to him until I died.

I agree that he teaches me things I didn't know, but I find his personality to be a bit annoying. It's a give and take, or a love/hate if you will.

If you like Alton Brown, I recommend checking out Andrew Zimmern's interview of him a few years ago (they interviewed the other on each's podcast). Brown's interview was deep and soulful and actually saddened me.
There are some quotes (and podcast links) in this link: LINK
These three stood out:
On why Good Eats ended: "I used to have a rule, that each day ... we had to do shots we'd never done before and I became obsessed with that to the point of madness. It was like Apocalypse Now in a way, I went up the river and I went insane ... It came very close to pushing me over the edge. Towards the end I became suicidal."
On his personal issues while doing Good Eats: "Around the 200th episode of Good Eats, food simply became... It wasn't what it was about anymore. It was about making the show and making things people had never seen before. And that drove wedges between me and every human relationship I had until I was alone."
On why he enjoys doing more hands-off projects like Cutthroat Kitchen: "There have been times, and I'll be honest I'm in one now, where I feel I've kind of lost my way in life. But I can show up to work everyday and do the job 110 percent and I never phone it in. And there are times that's all I've got."

He tries too hard to be funny and he is really annoying. If he never shows up on tv again it will be too soon.
