Everything You Need To Know About Alton Brown's Upcoming National Tour
Renowned chef, author and television personality Alton Brown today announced details for his first national tour. Each show – there will be over 40 stops across the United States – will feature stand-up comedy, multimedia lecture, "extreme" food experimentation and live music from the man himself. There is even a Blue Man Group-type interactive component: select audience members will be invited on stage to serve as "assistants" while attendees in the first few rows will receive ponchos. We're thinking Gallagher meets Eric Ripert with this one.
The Alton Brown Live! The Edible Inevitable Tour will kick off on October 18 in Palm Desert, CA. The series will continue with around five stops per week – save for a break from mid-November until the end of January – through March 2, 2014. Brown described the upcoming events as "a must-see extravaganza for the whole family. I've been cultivating material for this show for about a decade...However, I'm a bit nervous about the singing parts." Is it just us or does that last part make you want to attend just that much more?
