Alton Brown Live: Edible Inevitable Tour

Alton is hitting the road again, but this time it will be a much larger production.  Alton's Edible Inevitable Tour promises to feature comedy and music as well as cooking. It is billed as an international tour, but so far only US dates have been announced,  The good news: there are already 35 dates listed!  Check here for the current list of cities and venues. The tour kicks off in October and stretches into 2014 so far.

I'm excited.  I haven't seen AB in a couple years and haven't really been following his ventures as a FoodNetwork personality lately. Between the tour, which has three stops relatively near me in Michigan, and his upcoming podcasts I'll have a reason to be an Alton Brown fan once more.

Alton Brown Meets Up with Anthony Bourdain on The Layover

Alton Brown will be meeting up with Anthony Bourdain for a new episode of The Layover in Atlanta. The new show will be airing Monday night on the Travel Channel at 9PM. Finally, the two ABs meet! Even better, they meet up with a stripper; not something I'd picture Alton doing but definitely up Bourdain's alley. This should be interesting to see how their personalities mesh, or don't mesh. Also interested to see if they''l just be shooting the breeze or actually talking food. I have respect for both since they got to this point through their own hard work.

During his 36 hours in the ATL, Tony meets up with Alton Brown, has a drink with a legendary stripper, takes down a plate of BBQ and cruises the city in a muscle car. Here are a few more preview pictures on the Travel Channel website.

Alton Brown Mythbusters Episode

In case anybody missed Alton Brown on MythBusters here is the full episode!  Cooking an entire Thanksgiving dinner under the hood of a car is the perfect marriage of the three minds. I would love to see Alton team up with Jamie and Adam again on some crazy cooking experiment.
