, an earlier stop on his touring show. “Basically when I’m on tour I live on canned sardines and coffee.” The foods are equal parts functional and practical.
They keep up his energy and the condensed diet ensures he does not fall ill due to unknown food. That has happened. So while Brown, who will bring his “Alton Brown Live: Last Bite” tour to The Peace Center in Greenville Feb.
26 and to the North Charleston Coliseum and Performing Arts Center in North Charleston March 2 , loves a good restaurant meal he’ll save any eating for pleasure until after the tour wraps up in May. This marks Brown’s third tour visit to Greenville and one of many visits to the Charleston area. He and wife, Elizabeth Ingram , got married in Charleston in 2018.
Ingram is a restaurant designer and designed several restaurants in Charleston, including Chubby Fish. “I have lot of time on the ground in Charleston and will do my best to get out and about,” Brown said. “I have also spent a fair amount of time out and about in Greenville.
I remember there being a couple of nice places for coffee in Greenville and it’s such a walkable town." With “Last Bite,” Brown is taking the things for which he has become known and condensing it into what the culinary television.
