Food If I read my ticket info correctly, I get to meet Alton Brown.

Is it worth going?
He's here in Lincoln next week.
Even the cheap seats are over $50

 

If you are at all a fan of his, or cooking shows, I say yes.

It was more of a comedy show than a cooking show. There were 2 very cool cooking experiments he showed (Mega Bake oven is one, won't ruin the surprise on the other), and lots of funny stories and songs. He also kind of has a few subtle digs on other TV chefs and at the end takes questions from the audience (via Twitter that you send during the show, it'll be explained how to submit them).

The humor is family friendly, and the whole thing is a bit tongue-in-cheek, but it was enjoyable. Also, the show lasted about 2.5 hours (one short intermission), which is longer than any comedy show by a single performer that I remember attending. My wife was a much bigger fan of his than I, as much as I love to cook/grill I only occasionally watch TV shows about doing so. But I left far more likely to watch his shows in the future just because he was entertaining.

 

@Lindy , if you are still interested, there is a flash sale on tickets for tonight's show in Lincoln. Sale is from noon until 1pm. Check Alton's Twitter for more details, but if you use code 'Gourmet' there are big discounts on whatever seats are unsold.
