What better place for food science nerd Alton Brown to bring his tour than geek central, Silicon Valley?

The Food Network star, whose “Good Eats” show first brought him fame and ran for 14 seasons, is back on the road with “Beyond the Eats,” which will come to San Jose’s Center for the Performing Arts at 7:30 p.m. Monday, Nov. 15, after weekend shows in Los Angeles and San Diego.

He heads next to Wyoming, Colorado and Utah, making this his only Bay Area and Northern California stop.

“Like my first two live ventures (The Edible Inevitable Tour and Eat Your Science) there will be cooking, comedy, music, and mayhem,” he writes on his website. “There will be lots of audience interaction, maybe a game-show segment, strange devices and other generally foodie stuff.”

Even the promoters are warning audience members about mischief. “If Brown calls for volunteers … think twice,” Broadway San Jose said on its website.

Details: City of San Jose venues such as the CPA, 255 Almaden Blvd., require proof of vaccination before entrance. Tickets, $43-$88, at https://broadwaysanjose.com/
