Now that tour is over, I thought I’d document some of my food finds around the country. I’ve been on tour for 6 weeks..it’s been a long time, I am tired!
This tour, my Tour manager and I wanted to eat at as many Diner, Drive-ins and Dives as we could or some Man vs. food joints. here are some notables:
Tampa
- Memas Alaskan Fish tacos (not a DDD or a MvF but one of my fave place in the country)
Austin
- Juan in a Million (MvF)
Albuquerque
- Antiquity (not a DDD or MvF, but AMMAHZZING)-..i am not sad to drop $50 bucks here
- Standard Diner (DDD) ahhmmazzing, yet a pricey diner
