Former Food Network star Alton Brown is embarking on his final nationwide theater tour and he’s kicking it off right here in Melbourne.
The “Alton Brown Live: Last Bite” show includes more than 60 cities. It’s described as an “interactive culinary variety” show.
Brown previously had three other tours that performed in more than 200 cities. His new show will reflect on “his decades in food media, presents several of his favorite culinary mega-hacks, sings some of his funny food songs, and in general offers a culinary variety show the likes of which human eyes have never seen.”
The family-friendly, two-and-a-half-hour show will offer new material never seen before.
“Last Bite will be my farewell tour and my last culinary variety show, as it’s time for me to make my full-time return to male modeling,” Brown joking wrote in a press release.

The tour kicks off Feb. 13 in Melbourne at the King Center for the Performing Arts.
Tickets start at $52. There is a VIP package available for $230. It includes a ticket to the event, a special Q and A session before the show and a signed copy of Alton’s book.
Autographs and video will not be allowed during the experience.

How did Alton Brown become famous?
Originally, Brown was a director for TV commercials.
He decided to go to culinary school with a goal to “reinvent the cooking show.” Brown landed a show, “Good Eats” on the Food Network, which aired for 16 seasons. It not only taught people how to cook, but also the science behind cooking.
Brown also hosted “Iron Chef America,” “Food Network Star” and “Cutthroat Kitchen.” In addition, Brown is a two-time James Beard award winner and a Peabody winner.
His tenth book, a collection of essays and ruminations, “Food for Thought,” will be released in February, just in time for his tour.
