Alton Brown Event in His Hometown

Next month fan in the Atlanta area have a chance to spend the afternoon with Alton Brown at the Walker School in Marietta. AB is doing the to support the school, which his daughter attends.

I'm not sure what he had planned for the event but several years ago he did a lecture as a fundraiser for the Cobb County Public Library at the school entitled: AB's Practical Guide to Cooking and Eating Planet Earth. It was an outstanding talk for both intellectualism and wit. That was only my second time meeting AB, ah the good old days. It was one of my first posts here too.

This event has two levels, a general admission seat for $35 and a VIP package that includes a lunch, a goody bag and a meet and greet for $125. A book signing will follow the demo.

Tickets can be purchased online from the school's website.

Since I still can't have that interview with AB, here's an article from the Marietta (Ga.) newspaper about the event.
