Food on Tour

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 els...

My guest is Lynn Gunn from the band PVRIS. PVRIS is originally from the east coast, now based in LA, and they’ve been touring/putting out music for almost a decade. They just released a new record called “Use Me” a couple weeks ago and it rules. Go check it! Lynn and I covered all sorts of topics… Everything from pre-show hotel lobby hangs to post-show diner stops, cocktails... And Julia Roberts....

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 Mee...

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...

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 bel...

Sam Stewart and Sterling Laws from Lo Moon join and we discussed eating and drinking in their hometowns of London and Seattle. We got into burgers and coffee in Seattle, English breakfast and Indian food in London, and their mutual admiration of snacks in the UK. You can find Lo Moon on Instagram at @lomoonFind and follow Food on Tour:Instagram: @foodontourpodFacebook: @foodontourpodWebsite: Foodo...

Mating Ritual joined me for one of the most ridiculous conversations. They're a Los Angeles based band, super talented, extremely funny and they love finding good food on the road. We talked about some of their favorite stops in Austin, TX. BBQ, breakfast tacos, Tex Mex and cheap beer. Oh, and, unfortunately, SXSW. You can find Mating Ritual on Instagram at @matingritual Find and follow Food on To...

Rob and Nick from The Dear Hunter join me this week for something a little different... Instead of food we talked about beer. I have terrible taste in beer. I love shitty beer, so Rob and Nick definitely carried this conversation. We got into some of their favorite regional beers around the U.S., some of their favorite breweries, and looooots of White Claw talk. You can keep up with The Dear Hunte...

Eric Slick & Natalie Prass are two amazing and talented musicians, who also happen to be married. They've toured together, they've recorded together, and they reeeeally love food. We talked about their favorite food in their hometowns (Philly & Richmond, VA), as well as some of their favorite places to eat while they're on the road. If you want to keep up with Eric and Natalie you can find them on...

My lovely Kiwi friend, David Beadle, joined to talk fast food. He's a great musician and a total fast food fanatic in every way.

LA based drummer, Andrew Marshall, joined to cover one of the greatest food cities in the world, New York. Andrew plays for Billie Eilish and has been touring with her for the last couple years. We got into some of his favorite restaurants, "Dignity Dinners" and a glimpse at what catering is like on the Billie Eilish tour. Spoiler... There's A LOT of desserts. If you want to keep up with Andrew, f...

I talk with one of my favorite drummers, who also happens to be a close friend of mine - Aaron Gilbert Steele. Aaron and I went into this conversation with no real direction, per his request. We got into touring with his recently discovered food allergies, Seattle Dogs, the importance of great bartenders and waaaay more. You can find Aaron on Instagram at @aaronsteele_damn Find and follow Food on...

Josh Ocean from NVDES guests and we took a quick trip through Amsterdam! We got into Josh’s favorite apple pie, a baked potato shop, dutch pancakes and, of course, the coffee shops.

Brendan Smith & Sebastien Schultz join from Scottish post-punk band, The Twilight Sad. First of all, if you don’t know their music, get on it. They rule! Secondly, these guys are hilarious and they shared some of their favorite places to stop for food while on the road in Europe and what they look forward to when they get back to Glasgow. We got into Brendan’s favorite butt-themed restaurant in Pa...

Max Benson from LÉON is a great musician with great taste in food. We've toured together in the past and I have always had such a great time hunting down the best food and bars we could find on the road. We focused on San Diego and got into some of the incredible Mexican food San Diego has to offer, some gems in Little Italy, and one of our favorite topics... Tiki bars. Keep up with Max's food pag...

I don't think there is a more romanticized type of food in the world than Italian food and I've never experienced a more food-centric culture than that of Italy. It's beautiful, it's fun, it's delicious and I got to take a vicarious trip through the city and some of its incredible food with Stevie Aiello - A songwriter, producer, multi-instrumentalist, and music director (Thirty Seconds to Mars) f...

Andy Warren from The Mowgli's talks about one of his favorite cities, Kansas City, MO. KC is a really special place and obviously full of incredible BBQ, but we also talked about the pseudo-trucker lifestyle of certain tours, and how welcoming the people in a place like Kansas City can be. It's always a place I look forward to getting back to on the road and I know Andy feels the same. You can kee...

Oliver Ackermann from "the loudest band in New York", A Place To Bury Strangers, joins to talk about some of his favorite spots in Austin. This conversation was hilarious... We got into food poisoning, Oliver's love for shitty coffee, Taco Bell and how he got his company, Death By Audio Effects, off the ground. You can find A Place to Bury Strangers on Instagram at @aptbs Find and follow Food on T...

This was a first for the podcast... Not only were we joined by a bad ass musician, but also a bad ass chef. Mark started working in restaurants as a cook when he was 19 while building his career in music. Soon enough music took over, but touring is a pretty great excuse for him to visit some of his favorite restaurants and favorite chefs around the world.   Find and follow Food on Tour:Instagram:...

I can't think of a better person, as far as touring musicians go, to discuss eating our way through Zurich with than Nerve's Jacob Bergson. When they're touring Europe, they treat Zurich as a home base. We talk about some of his favorite dishes and restaurants, finding affordable food in such an expensive city and how invalid our American intuition can be when seeking out food overseas. Send your...

Founding member Adam Met and drummer Chris Berry of AJR join us and instead of focusing on one city, Adam and Chris wanted to talk about some of their favorite stops for Asian food while they're on tour. We'll get into lots of noodles, some dumplings, hibachi horror stories, and some of their favorite spots when they're back home in NYC.If you have any food recommendations, Asian or not, that you'...

Bob Nanna from Braid and Hey Mercedes joins to talk about, arguably, one of the most beautiful cities in the world... Paris. Bob's vegetarian, so we'll get to know some of his favorite veggie forward and vegan spots in Paris. We also get an idea of what it was like touring through the mid-90's and early 2000's. A time when your food in each city was only as good as your local friend or venue staff...

I'm a big fan of Best Coast and a big fan of Chicago, especially the food, so it was pretty awesome to be able to combine the two. Bobb is a huge fan of the Chicago staples, the foods that shape the city. He'll walk us through some of his must-haves when he's in Chicago. What's a trip to Chicago without an Italian beef and a shot of Malort?  Find and follow Food on Tour:Instagram: @foodontourpodFa...

Got to have a nice quarantine-era chat with my friends Matt Musty and Alison Tavel about their healthy habits on the road, guilty pleasures and, naturally, dumplings.
