Where do you eat after shows??

[LHbassist]

I USED TO- not now.. on my return trips from South Lake Tahoe, stop at a gas station/ convenience store in Carson City, top off my gas tank (remember those days?) and get- a bag of Smart pop cheddar, and a tall hot chocolate... and, a snickers bar! MMMMM.

Usually, it's a bowl of ice cream at home.

The days of going out after are long over.

I used to go here every evening after a gig. This place was walking distance from my house in Japan and opened till 2am everyday.

Yum. I miss street food in Japan.

Back in the day (80s) here in greater Cincy there were lots of late night eats available. If we weren't in a hurry, Pepper Pod was always a wait being full of drunk people at 2 AM. But most times, it was a Cincinnati style chili parlor (Dixie, Chrystal, Gold Star, Skyline, etc.) Now only a few open until midnight.

Dennys

IHOP on a good night, Denny's on an average night, and Waffle House if anything the rest of the time...

I just remembered back when I used to live in SF (San Francisco) and was a gigging choral singer, it was rare that I’d have late night gigs. But even when I would get home late, I’d go to Pakwan on 16th Street for some Pakistani curry or tandoori chicken/fish. And I was just there a couple weeks ago and pleased to say that it still tastes amazing there.

great question...my answer is....absolutely nothing...water or seltzer only...full belly at nite not good for humans. then I sleep like a log, get up regular time cook and eat a breakfast fit for 3 men...its all about the potatoes...mmmm home fries sizzled with onions cooked in olive oil...mmmm... crispy... holy crap batman. I can always eat the back end of a skunk as im so freakin' hungry and remember, road kill skunk comes pre spiced !!...ss

In Atlanta? No, say it ain’t so!

I thought the only answer in Atlanta was The Majestic. Or am I that old that the Majestic isn’t around anymore?

The Majestic is still there, and I've eaten there many a late night. Lots of great people watching there at 3 AM.

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

I've been gearing up to try fasting - I think back before stores, drive-ins, refrigerators, farming there was probably often days you didn't eat and your system got a break. It looks like it might make sense to go a couple of days with just water and some electrolytes once in a while also.

I’m not into whole day fasting. The whole OMAD thing might work for some folks but it’s not something I’ve ever wanted to do. I do intermittent fasting with an 8/16 eating/fasting window everyday. Basically I eat between 10am and 6pm, and then I’m done for the day except for water.

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

• mid/late 70's, Detroit suburbs: White Castle. There was a 24-hr one at 12 Mile Rd & Gratiot. (pronounced GRASH-it) The mighty whitey one-bitey rules!
• 80's/90's, San Francisco: A funky chinese diner on lower Turk St in the Tenderloin. I forget the name. It changed owners twice while I was there. It probably no longer exists.
• 00's/mid 10's, Canada: N/A. I didn't gig/jam in Canada.
• 2015 - present, Frankfurt/Rhein-Main area: the venue. TBF, it's been almost 2 years since I played out on a regular basis.

Just wrapped up a gig. Give you 3 guesses where we ate post-gig, and the first 2 don't count.

It’s been a while but if we were on Southside it was the Purple Onion. Nothing like a scratch built 3 cheese calzone with killer red gravy for dipping at 3 AM to set the tone for Sunday.
I lived out of town on the other side of town so if we skipped the Purple Onion, I’d hit The Griddle House on my way home. It was a repurposed Waffle House location so essentially the same format, just yellow and white. The food was nothing to write home about but it was hot, and 3 AM crowd watching was worth going for. On one occasion the cops were called to drag an intoxicated female out from under a table where the guy she staggered in with was sitting with his eyes rolled back in his head. Good times I tell ya, good times.

Not much to pick from, its Kwik Trip or Denny's and thats about it

 

[Marley's Ghost]

Perkins, Denny's, Waffle House

Nick Tahou's garbage plate.... A Rochester NY original.

When I lived in Seattle would either stop at Dick's Drive In
or Jack In The Box for breakfast jacks.

Way back when you coukld stop at Bob Murray's Dog House in the regrade, but that's been gone for decades.

Pizza "marinara", the simplest one: only tomato sauce, garlic and oregano on top!

 

[Thumpinshelton]

Usually the post gig meal for me is that I make sure I have a pizza from one of my favorite local spots waiting on me at home. I usually order it during the day so that it is in my fridge waiting on me. That and a nice cold beer!
