chicken vindaloo, that's what you need, indian food at 3 in the morning around the corner from where you live and because you go in there 3-4 times a week they serve you booze after hours, that is a good place

That sounds great

- I'm just partaking of a glass (or two) of wine, and some cheese & crackers.

Cheese on toast and Rogue "Dead Guy" ale (from Oregon) is a favorite late night snack too.

Don't torment me - I'm from London, which boasts the best Indian food on the planet. I missing that here in L.A. (when I lived in NY-city I spent a lot of time on East 9th St.). I'm hoping to go visit my family this summer - and I've got a laundry list of restaurants to visit.

Pretty much any omlet platter at Perkins, with french toast on the side instead of pancakes.

If I'm eating out, I'm lucky to have tacos and pupusas available late and nearby. Eating in, it depends. Funny thing is, I've been pondering tonight's answer to this question the whole way home--then I walk in and see this thread. I have my 22 oz bottle of Racer 5, and now I just need to scrape up some food.

Im gonna pick a real obvious one, just cuz its so good and so common. Bacon Cheeseburger with fries/onion rings/fried cheese curds and a chocolate raspberry milkshake. and if you think fried cheese curds are weird its a Wisconsin thang and there great.

Spicy Chicken sandwich from Wendy's. There is one a block from my house with a drive-thru.

Hey andy I know what you mean I lived in London off and on for a few years and I still miss bricklane trips where you can go across the street and grab a bunch of cobra. Man now I'm tormented

When i was gigging regular in Dallas we would always go to the same little Denny's off of central 75 and i would get the super nacho's..... Good stuff man.

When I lived in Seattle and was gigging in the southend (Federal Way - Oly) it was mandatory to stop at the "Burger Box" off of I-5 in Fife.

All the bands would show up at 2:00 am -- original, cover bands, classic rockers, hardcore. Was quite a cool lil' scene. Don't even know if the place exists any more.

I love breakfast after gigs -- Denny's.

Yup... Up North. Manitowish Waters, even people who live in Wisconsin don't know where it is....Another favorite late nighter is leftover brats, cold outta the 'fridge. Cheesehead soul food.....

Is that near Boulder Junction by any chance where there is a Camp Manitowish, as a Madisonian I live in my only little separate world away from the rest of wisconsin, but I have been up north acouple times on the way to the UP.

Yes it is! I am a proud graduate of Boulder Junction Grade School. I'm reasonably sure that I'm the only jazz bassist to have ever emerged from that school

. I know Camp Manitowish very well. I got to know a couple of jazz guys when I was a kid there; Warren Bernhardt used to hang out there, and Dave and Iola Brubeck had a summer place in Rhinelander.

I love the UP.... I used to bike up to Lake Of The Clouds, Copper Harbor... and speaking of great post-gig foods.... its hard to beat a good old fashioned yooper-style pasty.
