After gig eating.....

[bassbrad]

In Austin there are several Kerby Lane Cafe's around town and that has become my late nite fave. Tasty and healthy if you choose Kerbey Lane Cafe | Homegrown Austin Food

In the distant past there was a place called 'The Stallion' that was the absolute best, CFS, enchiladas, just wonderful stuff.

When I first started gigging in my home town there were two 24 hour places we went to 'The Original' & 'Veteran's Cafe'- you could get anything at either place and it was the best.

We play a local bar that is about 2 miles from our guitarist and drummers houses (they are in the same neighborhood). They usually have the band over for a brew or two, as well some snacks.

Rolled up lunchmeat & cheese at home is pretty good too!

My old band made it a habit of hitting McD's or BK after a gig. That was untill I went on my diet. Then I made sure I didn't snake after gigs...

Lost 40lbs since last august.

For some reason when I read this post, I had a vision of some hairy fellow stirring some sort of stew with His arm.
I'd avoid eating at said place at any time of the day or night, and would face certain starvation first.

IME-The food offerings of a Quick-trip aint half bad, or a better choice would be a Waffle House if You're in the "Good ole south".

Waffle House for me as well.... ahhh the good ole South....

Before the gig, get some chicken/Lamb, cut it into cubes, marinate it in lemon juice, salt and pepper. Leave it in the fridge. After gig, skewer the meat and grill/broil/whatever. Good with pitta bread, salad and hummus/chili sauce.

5 mins of prep that afternoon make a great meal later on that night.

Edit: obviously I wait til I get home

we played a festival gig up in Arkansas a few years back, and since we went on rather early, decided to drive back to Texas after the show. We stopped at this small country "home cooking style" restaurant in the middle of nowhere to get something quick and head out. They had this huge glass case full of differnt kinds of pies...we decided to have some pie! we ordered a piece of every pie they had...there must have been 15 pieces of pie on the table...everyone was tasting them all!...man was that good...

There's nothing quite like a White Castle at 4:00 AM.

Fortunate to have a really good Indian restaurant nearby that's open till midnight weekdays and 2 AM weekends. Also very authentic Thai, Hunan and Vietnamese restaurants that keep similar hours.

At truck stop outside of Cleveland, I ordered a bowl of chili.

Waitress: We don't have chili.

Me: No chili? I don't think I've ever been in a truck stop that didn't have chili.

Waitress: Well, we had it earller, but it wasn't right.

Yep, No place like home.... I've wondered at times, If there is an exit off of Interstate 75, 85, or 20 in Georgia that doesn't have a Waffle House?

Always eat when I get home plate waiting on me my wife is an excellent cook.

 

[MatticusMania]

Ive never been after a gig, but there is a great Thai place by my house open until 3:30am.

Up here I have discovered Sheetz. I've seen service stations this good before, but never so plentiful

Peace,

I'm lucky in that the times I've been out late, there's a Greggs bakery open until 4am on the weekend nights, or a couple of 24-hr restaurants including a McDonalds and a Lebanese place if it's any other night.
