                   The Alton Brown Edible and Inevitable Tour
                                        
Yeast.

The preshow consists of sock puppets of belching yeast.

[But tender and flaky are another show …] [1]
 

And farts. Sock puppets of belching and farting yeast.

In time to the Alfred Hitchcock Theme [2].

Of course it can only mean one thing—Bunny and I had tickets to the Alton
Brown Edible Inevitable Tour [3]!

Alton was nice enough to take our picture and post it to Twitter [4].

[Can you see me now?] [5]
 

My god—what a show!

Alton Brown [6] is extremely funny. After an attempt at rapping (he should
not quit his day job, that's all I have to say about that), he went into
“Things He Could Not Say On Televsion” which include rants against chicken
fingers (“when I am depressed, or sad, or even bored, I just have to remember
the sound of little girls screaming … ”) to trout ice cream [7].

He makes a gallon of chocolate ice cream in 10 seconds (and it does not
involve liquid nitrogen) and using the worlds largest Easy•Bake Oven [8]
(cranked to 11, it can be seen from outer space) he cooks pizza in four
minutes.

And I best not forget his country song to Airline Lounge Shimp Cocktail.
Rapping aside, he's not that bad of a singer and I've certainly heard worse.

All I can say is, if you are a fan of Good Eats [9] or of Alton Brown in
general, you should go [10]. It's easily worth the ticket price.

And yes, he always carries nutmeg in his pocket.
