Catch Alton Brown Live On His Edible Inevitable Tour 2014

On October 21, our favorite walking food encyclopedia Alton Brown will kick off his second-ever national tour in Athens, Ga.

Alton Brown Live! The Edible Inevitable Tour will feature demonstrations that are "large, potentially dangerous, and impractical" (you'll be given a poncho), comedy, puppets, a multimedia lecture, talk show antics, and live music from Mr. Brown himself.

A few lucky audience members will also have the chance to join Alton on stage as his assistant during each show.

"We have combined science, music, food, and a few other things no one in his right mind would allow me to do on TV, into a two hour extravaganza that's fun for the whole family," said Alton.

So far, the tour includes tentative dates for New York City, Boston, Dallas, Washington, D.C., Seattle, Salt Lake City, and several other cities. A preliminary schedule is available now, with more dates to be announced soon.

Tickets are available now for the show in Athens on October 21.
