I'm joined by the Burger Sage himself, George Motz. You may have caught one of his shows on the Travel Channel, maybe you came across his book, Burger America, at the book store or maybe you, like me, have drunkenly binged nearly every episode of his YouTube series, Burger Scholar Sessions. If none of this is ringing a bell, you've got a lot to look forward to and I hope this episode is a great starting point for a stronger appreciation of the American burger. We cover some of my favorite cities to play and George will let you in on some the best burger experiences in those cities. I think this is an episode that deserves a beer while you listen. Enjoy my conversation with George!You can find George on Instagram at @motzburger

We're talking Chicago with Nashville based artist, JD Simo. JD is originally from Chicago and has a great appreciation for all food in Chicago, especially the classics. I think Chicago may be one of the easiest cities to talk about when it comes to food, but like I said, JD loves the classics and there really is so much to love about these dishes and the restaurants. Naturally, we ge into sausages, hot dogs, deep dish & Italian beef.If you want to keep up with JD you can find him on Instagram at @jdsimo

I talked about some of the amazing food in Detroit with The Blue Stones. The Blue Stones are a 2 piece rock band from Windsor, Ontario... Seemed like a perfect fit to be talking Detroit with these guys, considering they live just over the border. We got into Coney Dogs, Detroit style pizza, and where you can find 50 cent PBR's along with some good jazz. Not a combo I'd expect to find anywhere other than Detroit, honestly. We also discussed, what I imagine will be a bit of a divisive topic, and that's Windsor style pizza. I was unaware how big of a deal Windsor pizza really is, but these guys are going to give us all the spots we need to know for a proper Windsor pizza experience.You can find The Blue Stones on Instagram at @thebluestones

Max Collins and Lizy Ryan joined to talk all about TREATS. Max is in Eve 6, Fitness and also has a new project called Chevy Mustang and Lizy plays for Big Data. At first, I thought we’d just be talking about donuts and cupcakes… Ya know, sweet treats. But this conversation made me reconsider my definition of “treats” in the context of touring. Sometimes it really is just a dozen donuts, but most of the time it’s something to comfort you, relieve some stress or just escape for a bit. For me, those things show up in the form of big group dinners, a mid-tour massage, or finding some reeeeeally good pie somewhere along the way. For Max and L1zy, it’s everything from milkshakes and BBQ to cigars and gambling.You can find Max and L1zy on Instagram at @maxcollinsmusic & @_l1zy_

Steve Choi of RX Bandits joined me to discuss the French Fry. It's everywhere, it's delicious, it's comforting and, in my opinion, it's the ultimate vehicle for condiments. The French Fry may not be Steve's favorite food, but it's a part of his story and many touring musician's stories throughout their careers... From touring with no money in a 15 passenger van to day off Michelin Star restaurants in Paris, the French Fry is there. You can find Steve on Instagram at @rxchoi

I'm joined by Alex and Noah of Diet Cig, a 2 piece rock band, originally from upstate New York, now living in Richmond, VA. This conversation was all about convenience. We talked about truck stops, fast food, and some favorite foods for those post-show/way too tired for anything kind of nights in hotels. We've all got a favorite truck stop, we all know the last resort meal when there's nothing else in sight, and I think most of us find a little comfort in those things.You can find Diet Cig on Instagram at @dietcig
