An Evening of Alton Brown

Alton Brown brings his live show to ACL Live at The Moody Theater on Wednesday, November 11, 2026. Most of us know him from the screen—he created and hosted Good Eats and went on to Iron Chef America, Cutthroat Kitchen, and Food Network Star—but he's spent years taking that energy on the road. He's performed in more than 300 cities for well over half a million fans, so this isn't a one-off; it's part of one of the most successful culinary touring franchises ever.

This particular show is called An Evening of Alton Brown, and it's a bit different from the bigger productions he's known for. He describes it as stripping away the spectacle in favor of connection, spontaneity, and storytelling, with the night split between humor, science, food, and heart. He's not just talking about cooking, either—the science and the storytelling are as much a part of it as the food.

As for what you'll actually see, Brown says he's "stirring up some twists on his greatest hits" and "spicing things up with new demonstrations, music, and slightly scaled-down mayhem." That gives you a good sense of the mix: some of the bits he's refined over years of touring, alongside new material and a bit of the chaos he's known for, all brought down to a scale that works for a theater room.

It's a mid-week show, so if you're planning to go, keep in mind it's a Wednesday night. The show starts at 7:30 PM at ACL Live at The Moody Theater in Austin.
