He sings about food, he plays the saxophone, he chats with audience members and conducts “large, potentially dangerous, and impractical culinary demonstrations”. Yes, Alton Brown is coming to the Orpheum (601 Smithe Street) for a live show on February 20.

Food Network fans know him from Cutthroat Kitchen, Iron Chef America, and other series, but he’s perhaps best known for his years of Good Eats episodes, which combined food with science and skits.

Alton Brown Live! The Edible Inevitable Tour will feature similar family-friendly, foodie entertainment. Tickets start at $58.75 plus service charges; see the Ticketmaster website.
