JACKSONVILLE, Fla \u2014 Former Food Network host Alton Brown will be making a stop in Jacksonville in April. Brown will be performing at the Florida Theatre on April 22 for his \u201cAn Evening with Alton Brown\u201d tour. I got the chance to chat with Alton Brown ahead of his upcoming show to talk about the difference between this show and last year\u2019s show, the evolution of cooking shows, and his new YouTube series.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis show that I\u2019m doing now, I realized that I really wanted to be able to play, besides some favorite theaters, I also wanted to be able to play much smaller theaters and have a more intimate show with smaller crowds, and that\u2019s what \u2018An Evening of Alton Brown\u2019 is really about. There\u2019s a lot more talking, there\u2019s a fair amount of audience interaction and whatnot, and there are a couple of very large, strange culinary demonstrations, but not like the 27-foot-long steam-powered hot dog machine that I brought the last time I was there. So I would call this, this is like the unplugged version of me,\u201d said Brown when comparing his previous performances to his upcoming show.<\/p>\n
So if you\u2019re coming to next month\u2019s show expecting to see the \u201cBarnabus Brown\u2019s Wiener Wonder,\u201d unfortunately, it will not be there. \u201cThe Wiener Wonder doesn\u2019t exist anymore. It barely survived the 65 dates that we played on the last tour,\u201d added Brown. <\/p>\n
