In the Kitchen with Your Favorite Bands

While touring on the road, a common lament for band members is "I'm tired and I'm hungry and I can't wait to go home."  When truck stops and roadside diners no longer fit the bill for traveling musicians, their creativity can be channeled towards inventing their own tour-bus meals.

While touring on the road, a common lament for band members is "I'm tired and I'm hungry and I can't wait to go home." When truck stops and roadside diners no longer fit the bill for traveling musicians, their creativity can be channeled towards inventing their own tour-bus meals.

Kara Zuaro has compiled on-the-road recipes in her new book, I Like Food, Food Tastes Good: In the Kitchen with Your Favorite Bands.With contributions from indie music faves like Belle & Sebastian, Calexico, Death Cab for Cutie and the Violent Femmes, Kara outlines the culinary life of musicians, from their favorite drink to the best hangover remedy.
