his final large-scale tour to promote it We had the chance to chat with Brown about the new book his love of Cranky Al's donuts and his appreciation of manual typewriters well-known for his "Good Eats" show on the Food Network and roles with the network’s "Iron Chef America," "Food Network Star," and "Cutthroat Kitchen," is back with another live culinary variety show the Alton Brown Live: Last Bite tour takes the stage at Detroit’s Fox Theatre Last Bite is billed as the culinarian's final tour He has often wowed live and TV audiences with his scientific approach to food and cooking and his explanations for why things work as they do “We’ve built something very big this time,” he says There’s even kind of a competition built into this.” The food guru bills his live performances as a mix of “storytelling who has a longtime interest in how science connects to food and cooking says that he turned up the science dial by about 30% for the current show “There was quite a bit more science in this show than we’ve done before,” he says “I think that’s because I kind of made this one for me I think I made the other three tours for the fans because it’s the last one that I’m going to be doing like this I really wanted to do what I wanted to do." the Free Press caught up with Brown via phone to talk about the new show His answers have been edited for brevity and clarity QUESTION: What do you like about coming to Detroit ANSWER: The high point for me on this tour It’s a city that has a very specific kind of pride marker for their own cuisine and a vital kind of self-awareness of their civic identity What is it that you like about the Detroit audience Detroit is a city that has this sense of pride in coming back from the brink there for a while And that changes the dynamic as well a lot and I think that’s one of the reasons that the fans there in the crowds that we have in the Fox are so into it and so alive We kind of have this record we keep of cities and how much they like to laugh New York City being the least laughing town in the United States And I would say that Detroit’s right up there with Dallas and a couple of others in being just very eager to laugh and be entertained A: One of the reasons that I’ve focused so much of my energies over the last 10 years on the live performing is because I don’t think we need more stuff to watch on our screens or tucked away in our homes We need to be out in big rooms with a lot of other people A TV camera actively sucks your soul directly out of your eyeballs Audiences give back typically more than they take And so being able to interact with audiences every night and kind of lay yourself bare in front of an audience every night is a wonderful And the fact that I’m obsessed with kind of trying to get it right all you really have to do is get it right once but I have made it a point since first going on tour back in 2013 to hit as many of the spots as possible And I have friends who are from Detroit and keep homes in Detroit and go back all the time but my problem is that I’m really terrible with names of restaurants I think that Detroit pizza doesn’t get enough credit People outside of Detroit don’t talk about Detroit-style pizza nearly enough … New York-style and Chicago-style get all the all the credit 313presents.com Please select what you would like included for
