ON TOUR : Orlando

Orlando is made up of quintessential Americana... Disney, Universal, Marineland. Waffle House is right up there. There is no greater quick and comforting food for bands on the road. I love that the servers call out the orders to the cook and he prepares them by memory. I love that all Waffle Houses look exactly the same, feel the same, taste the same. I love the simplicity and consistency of it all. Modest and Beloved.

ON TOUR : Tampa

I'm back! It's been a while, but my life is conducive again to documenting my dining experiences. I'm currently tour managing for BRONCHO. So, this time around the challenge is finding good food in towns we visit on tour. We woke up this afternoon in Tampa, FL, drove around and found Ella's. Our reasons for trying this place were the amount of people waiting outside, the beauty of the building and the "Florida for Obama" sign in the window. Johnathon and I ordered the same thing except he had the Vegan versions. I think mine were better! Sliced BBQ Pork on a gorgeous Bun with a specialty side of Bacon Mac n Cheese.
