Burgers with George Motz

I'm joined by the Burger Sage himself, George Motz. You may have caught one of his shows on the Travel Channel, maybe you came across his book, Burger America, at the book store or maybe you, like me, have drunkenly binged nearly every episode of his YouTube series, Burger Scholar Sessions. If none of this is ringing a bell, you've got a lot to look forward to and I hope this episode is a great starting point for a stronger appreciation of the American burger. We cover some of my favorite cities...

Chicago with JD Simo

We're talking Chicago with Nashville based artist, JD Simo. JD is originally from Chicago and has a great appreciation for all food in Chicago, especially the classics. I think Chicago may be one of the easiest cities to talk about when it comes to food, but like I said, JD loves the classics and there really is so much to love about these dishes and the restaurants. Naturally, we ge into sausages, hot dogs, deep dish & Italian beef.If you want to keep up with JD you can find him on Instagra...

Detroit with The Blue Stones

I talked about some of the amazing food in Detroit with The Blue Stones. The Blue Stones are a 2 piece rock band from Windsor, Ontario... Seemed like a perfect fit to be talking Detroit with these guys, considering they live just over the border. We got into Coney Dogs, Detroit style pizza, and where you can find 50 cent PBR's along with some good jazz. Not a combo I'd expect to find anywhere other than Detroit, honestly. We also discussed, what I imagine will be a bit of a divisive topic, and t...

TREATS with Max Collins of Eve 6 & Lizy Ryan of Big Data

Max Collins and Lizy Ryan joined to talk all about TREATS. Max is in Eve 6, Fitness and also has a new project called Chevy Mustang and Lizy plays for Big Data. At first, I thought we’d just be talking about donuts and cupcakes… Ya know, sweet treats. But this conversation made me reconsider my definition of “treats” in the context of touring. Sometimes it really is just a dozen donuts, but most of the time it’s something to comfort you, relieve some stress or just escape for a bit. For me, thos...

French Fries with Steve Choi of RX Bandits

Steve Choi of RX Bandits joined me to discuss the French Fry. It's everywhere, it's delicious, it's comforting and, in my opinion, it's the ultimate vehicle for condiments. The French Fry may not be Steve's favorite food, but it's a part of his story and many touring musician's stories throughout their careers... From touring with no money in a 15 passenger van to day off Michelin Star restaurants in Paris, the French Fry is there. You can find Steve on Instagram at @rxchoi Find and follow Food ...

Truck Stops, Fast Food & Regional Favorites with Diet Cig

I'm joined by Alex and Noah of Diet Cig, a 2 piece rock band, originally from upstate New York, now living in Richmond, VA. This conversation was all about convenience. We talked about truck stops, fast food, and some favorite foods for those post-show/way too tired for anything kind of nights in hotels. We've all got a favorite truck stop, we all know the last resort meal when there's nothing else in sight, and I think most of us find a little comfort in those things.You can find Diet Cig on In...

Portland with JOSEPH

I’m joined by some of my favorite people and musicians, Natalie, Meegan & Allie Closner. They have an incredible band called Joseph, who I have been lucky enough to play for and tour with. They are a Portland-based band, so it only felt right to talk about eating and drinking in Portland with them. We’ll jumped into some of their favorite bars and restaurants in town, restaurants that cater to Meegan and Allie’s dietary restrictions, as they are gluten-free, and some of the places that they’...

Food, Tiki, Rock & Roll With Mike Poorman of Hot Rod Circuit

I'm very excited to have Mike Poorman, Nashville based drummer and drum tech, on the show, as I have been a fan of his band, Hot Rod Circuit, for a very long time. Currently, Mike mostly tours as drum tech for Billie Eilish, Andrew McMahon, Thrice, and Zac Clark. He's also a food and tiki fanatic, so we got into some of Mike's favorite restaurants to visit on tour as well as his favorite tiki bars. He was an absolute pleasure to talk with and I think we could have gone on about tiki bars for at ...

PIZZA! With Big Data

We go deep on pizza with Alan Wilkis & Gunnar Olsen from Big Data. Obviously, there are certain cities that have much better pizza than most, but this podcast is about finding the best food you can while you're on tour. That means sometimes you have to satisfy a pizza craving while you're in Columbus, OH or maybe you just want to order Domino's to your hotel room. Regardless of the scenario, I believe there's really good pizza in most cities, and these guys seem to be on the same page. You c...
