Alton Brown Live: Beyond the Eats Beloved culinary TV personality Alton Brown is comin’ to town, bringing “occasional aromas” and a warning that audience members should volunteer to participate at their own risk. Brown’s lively, two-and-a-half hour culinary variety show offers a mix of comedy, music, unusual and science-y cooking demonstrations, and (probably) lots of messy results. If you do feel brave enough to want to be invited on stage as one of Brown’s helpful kitchen assistants, make sure to head to altonbrownlive.com to take a pre-screening quiz to test how much you actually know about cooking and Brown’s Good Eats series on the Food Network, because he’s getting serious about just who gets to help out this time.
