Alton Brown is coming back.

The Food Network star is making a return appearance to Chattanooga this September as part of the Serve and Protect program, spearheaded by the Tennessee Aquarium.

“I was raised on a steady diet of Jacques Cousteau and Julia Child,” Brown said in a 2011 Times Free Press interview. “I’m concerned with the issues of stewardship, with the fact that we run the planet’s resources and how we manage those.”

The Serve & Protect program was launched in 2011 as an effort to educate the greater Chattanooga community about sustainable seafood. On Sept. 13, Brown will host a lunch and a dinner, complete with cooking demonstrations and question-and-answer sessions.
