Alton Brown emphasizes the importance of simplicity in comfort food and resists the trend of elevating classic dishes. In a recent interview, he expressed his desire for comfort food to remain untouched, as it’s the unaltered versions that evoke strong feelings of nostalgia. Citing experiences from his culinary journey, including a disastrous attempt at crockpot lasagna that taught him the value of traditional recipes, Brown believes comfort food should retain its original flavors and familiarity without unnecessary embellishments.
I don't want my comfort food elevated. It's comforting because nobody messed with it.
If it ain't broke, don't fix it. My attempt at crockpot lasagna resulted in what I called the worst dish of my career.
