Alton Apologized for His “Poor Taste”

If you’ve watched The Food Network or ever wanted to learn how to properly brine a turkey, then you’ve definitely seen Alton’s face. The man is less a chef and more of a food scientist who takes a very measured approach to cooking with some pretty amazing results. He’s a respected name in the food business.

Which may be why so many folks were confounded when the TV personality posted the following tweet on Tuesday, Nov. 10:

Brown, who has expressed in the past that celebrities should keep their political ideologies private, seemed to have been making a statement in regards to the 2020 election and President Donald Trump’s refusal to concede and call for recounts all across the country.

Brown has gone on the record to state that even though he has “voted Republican most of [his] life” and he “consider[s himself] a conservative, [he] want[s] to believe there are still ‘very fine’ people on both sides of the aisle but…if #GOP leaders don’t get their collective noses out of that man’s a–, we’re going to have words.”

When a fan wrote back to Alton’s OG tweet about the type of camp uniforms they’ll be wearing, they said, “depends on what you’re worth when you go in.”

Alton responded by saying, “I have no gold fillings,” which is a reference to the teeth removed from the mouths of murdered Jewish prisoners in concentration camps.

When someone saw Alton’s tweet and wrote, “Yikes dude, take it easy.” The Food Network star responded back with, “F–k you.”

It didn’t take long for the outrage to pour in and Alton took to the social media platform again, but this time to apologize and clarify that the remark wasn’t intended to be a dig at the Holocaust but as an expressed fear for the direction the United States of America is heading in.
