If you’re looking for an entertaining (and appetizing) respite to the inevitable Inauguration hoopla we’ll be dealing with next week, DCist suggests venturing down to Northern Virginia to see culinary hero Alton Brown sign copies of his new book “I’m Just Here for More Food”. Brown, host of Food Network’s Good Eats, will be signing copies at Barnes & Noble in Arlington at noon Tuesday and at Borders in Tysons Corner at 7:30 p.m. For our Baltimore readers, he’ll also be at the Barnes & Noble in White Marsh at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday.
If you can’t get enough of Alton, DCist also recommends checking out the premiere of Iron Chef America on the Food Network this Sunday at 9 p.m. Brown does double duty as both straight and color commentator, taking on the roles of Dr. Yukio Hattori and Kenji Fukui from the hit Japanese series. In the first battle, Iron Chef Bobby Flay takes on Rick Bayless with the secret ingredient of … well, we wouldn’t want to spoil the surprise, would we? Also, be sure to check out the show on March 6, when Masaharu Morimoto takes on D.C.’s own Roberto Donna.
