Where do you eat after shows??

[E Joe]

I’ve done about every late night spot in Denver for post 2am food. One of my favorite now defunct places was called Mary Jane’s Pizza. They were open from 11pm to 4:20am and hung signed pizza boxes from all of the bands and entertainers that made it a regular haunt.

What is the go to post-gig food spot in your neck of the woods?

Over the years there have been a lot of places for after gig eating but not so much anymore. The one solid choice in the Austin area is Kerby Lane Cafe with tasty, healthy food choices and an always fun and funky staff where musicians are welcome. There are 3 locations and one of them is on the way home.

Once upon a time, in a blessed era of the Iron Guts of Youth, the go-to choice was a 24-hour Krystal.

when I was younger I used to hit McD's or KFC drive through.... don't play that much now so usually make a sandwich or something when I get home if I am still hungry.

one time Drummer and me rocked up to a KFC drive through about 2am and the lady came on the speaker and said 'sorry, we're out of chicken'.... drummer replied "well - what else do you do"? I think we got 2 burgers and they gave us heaps of chips for free

None of the good spots we used to hit are open late enough since the pandemic hit. They all scaled back their hours.


So in Houston , Tx. , it's pretty much Wataburger or Denny's.


EDIT: And Waffle House

Here in Wisconsin Kwik Trip has hot food 27/7 and they dump the coffee and make fresh every 20 minutes. Along with chips, soda, candy, and just about everything else you could want.
They also sell , bread, cheese, & lunch meat if you want to make your own.
Plus fuel if you need it?

Scattered, smothered, covered and chunked for the win. Waffle House.

 

[LBS-bass]

DC area in the 80’s was Tastee Diner. Nowadays it’s whatever is open. Or just make something at home.

 

[brianrost]

Waffle House has their own record label.

In & Out is my after gig stop. It's the only thing open other than McD.

Here’s an answer guaranteed to make people groan loudly: I’ve been a proponent and participant in the practice of intermittent fasting since 2015. By the time most shows end I’m into my daily 16-hour fasting window and as such I never consume anything but water after a gig.

If anyone needs me I’ll be over in the corner on a very smug high horse, haha

 

[jimmydean]

Find a 24 hour joint that is full of people ( safety in numbers ).

Yes they do! My brother has a thing about playing the Waffle House Christmas song, pretty much any time we go in there. Talk about making quick enemies of the staff.

Back when I lived in Pennsylvania it was either Sheetz or WaWa, or maybe Eat n' Park.

LA it was In and Out.

Seattle had a bunch of all night coffee joints.

In Nola, there's a local place called Buffas in my neighborhood.

Part of it is where can you safely park your car with your gear in it? Usually hit Jack in the Box or Whataburger drive through.
But-in the 80s, Loves on I35 in Temple TX. Safe parking, great kitchen. 24 hrs.

Sometimes Starseeds Cafe too, I35 around 32nd.

Western PA back in the day. After-hours we headed for "Winky's" in Connellsville. While visiting my son, we went to Eat 'n Park (Slurp 'n Burp) and, yes, we got the "smiley" cookies.

In Norfolk, we avoid the Waffle House as it's a hang-out for the ho's, gang bangers, and drug dealers. Apparently, a waffle combo complements any 8-ball. WaWa is the safer bet as there's usually 2-3 police cruisers in the lot.
