An Evening of Alton Brown brings the chef, television host, author, and live entertainer to the stage for a blend of humor, science, food, music, and personal storytelling. Brown is expected to rework material from his best-known projects while introducing new demonstrations and a more intimate, spontaneous style of performance.

Known for creating and hosting *Good Eats*, *Iron Chef America*, *Cutthroat Kitchen*, and *Food Network Star*, Brown has performed his culinary live shows in more than 300 cities for over half a million fans. This presentation emphasizes connection and storytelling alongside the food science and theatrical mayhem associated with his work.

Tickets: $28–$200.

Show: A live presentation combining comedy, spoken word, food, science, music, demonstrations, and storytelling.
