Then there is the choice of food. I dare say Taco Bell, or any Mexican food for that matter is probably a really bad idea. I think Barbecue is a no go too. Not only can it be spicy but it also has the potential to get all over your stage duds. I know we're talking rock and roll here but still, it looks bad to have Sweet Baby Ray's sauce all over your silk scarf.
So you like sushi huh? It's seafood, it's healthy. Sure sounds great. Unless you get a bad piece of fish and end up with the runs. There is nothing rock and roll about having to squeeze your cheeks while you run off stage to .....well you know.
Now after the gig all bets are off. In fact, the after gig late night food is often the best meal of the day. Denny's is always a favorite. The food is OK but there is just something about being at a Denny's at 2 AM with your ears ringing from a rock and roll show.
Southern California residents will also agree that that The Original Tommy's is a great place to go after a gig. A chili burger and some fries in the wee hours of the morning go over great.
Since it's already early into the morning, why not breakfast. Ihop is a great place to smack down some pancakes after you've rocked the house. Nothing says rock and roll like a rooty tooty fresh and fruity pancake platter.
It's not only the food that makes the after gig meal so great, it's the conversation with the band. Going over what worked, what didn't or just plain talking trash about the drunk blond that got on the table and danced.
