Breaux Bridge, LA 8.20.08 1986. Hundreds of burgers come down a large conveyor belt. Nothing like greasy burgers for breakfast. Hey, they got bacon on them don’t they? That’s breakfast! I fucked up and didn’t order mine “glorified” so I had to get another. The chili dogs and onion rings are pretty good, too. Any place with complimentary hats pretty much rules! — Dale Mobile, AL 8.19.08 We often find ourselves driving and hungry at the same time. In the past, we’ve had to settle for some shit truck-stop food, but with the invention of that thing called the Interwebz we can now go online in our van and find some grub nearby. Such was the case for this little BBQ joint we found while driving thru Mobile, Alabama, The Brick Pit (tagline: It’s Serious Bar-B-Que!). As you can see from the pics, it was a little sugar-shit-shack down some back road—a little hard to find, but well worth the adventure. Upon entering we felt right at home, as the walls were covered in graffiti from people from all over the world, just like every goddamn club we play in. They stated that they smoked their pork over 30 hours. Combine that with the vinegarbased BBQ sauce, white bread, beans and potato salad, and we found ourselves with packed colons as we left. — Moss Mulate’s is the first place we ever had real Cajun cooking. On Sunday after church this place is hopping with live Cajun music and a full dance floor! The deep-fried alligator appetizer is mandatory. You come here with us, and you’re trying gator! I had the usual: the house specialty, Catfish Mulates. It’s grilled catfish topped with their own special crawfish étouffée, jambalaya, slaw and twice-baked potato loaded with cheese and bacon. I feel sorry for vegetarians who visit Louisiana—there’s not a vegetable in the whole state that’s not fried. They even deep-fry lettuce here! — Dale A truck stop, TX 8.21.08 As I mentioned before, sometimes we have to eat truck-stop food. This day we ate vitamins instead. You need a good supply of vitamins to bring The Rock every night. — Moss Amarillo, TX 8.24.08 LaPlace, LA 8.20.08 We found Frisco Deli by accident a few years back. The owner looks like he just got off the shrimp boat. “California? How y’all know ’bout gumbo?” he asked us our first time here. This time a slack-jawed kid working there looked horrified when nine of us walked through the door. “Y’all eatin’ here???” “Why not?” I said. I had gumbo and a shrimp and crawfish po’ boy, fully dressed. The shrimp is so fresh here it tastes like lobster! Our roadie, Racist Rikki Fingers, ordered the house special Cuban sandwich. It looked tiny compared to our jumbo po’ boys. No complaints from Rikki though. Diagnoses? Delicious! — Dale The general rule for us is if there’s a day off, we eat at a steak house! A few years back we booked shows around this place (The Big Texan) just so we could have Thanksgiving here. It was one of the best Thanksgiving dinners ever! This place is known for the 72-ounce steak. It’s free if you can eat the steak, baked potato, shrimp cocktail, dinner salad and roll in one hour. Jared and [Melvins engineer/Big Business guitarist] Toshi [Kasai] decided that an occasional eating contest could be part of a balanced diet. The Meat Olympics were on! [The restaurant] put them on a stage and started the clock. My money was on Toshi. Toshi said that after a while he felt like he was eating a pair of jeans. With 10 minutes left to go, it wasn’t looking too good for either of them. Jared tried to hide his steak under a plate, then decided to wear it as a meat toupee on his freshly shaved bald-man haircut. By the end Toshi ate 40 ounces, and Jared ate 34. We tried the rattlesnake, which I thought was too bony. We also knocked back a few Texas margaritas garnished with jalapeno peppers and went to a shooting gallery. A good day off! — Dale 51 http://www.mulates.com/ http://www.bigtexan.com/ http://neworleans.citysearch.com/profile/4419628/la_pl_la/frisco_deli.html Table of Contents for the Digital Edition of self-titled - no. 2self-titled - no. 2ContentsMarnie SternSpinto BandMichnaLindstromFlaming LipsThe Faint on Aphex TwinHarvey MilkOf MontrealGrowingTricky - The self-titled InterviewContents (continued)A Place to Bury StrangersJay ReatardThe Melvinsself-titled - no. 2self-titled - no. 2 - self-titled - no. 2 (Page 1)self-titled - no. 2 - self-titled - no. 2 (Page 2)self-titled - no. 2 - self-titled - no. 2 (Page 3)self-titled - no. 2 - self-titled - no. 2 (Page 4)self-titled - no. 2 - self-titled - no. 2 (Page 5)self-titled - no. 2 - self-titled - no. 2 (Page 6)self-titled - no. 2 - self-titled - no. 2 (Page 7)self-titled - no. 2 - self-titled - no. 2 (Page 8)self-titled - no. 2 - self-titled - no. 2 (Page 9)self-titled - no. 2 - self-titled - no. 2 (Page 10)self-titled - no. 2 - self-titled - no. 2 (Page 11)self-titled - no. 2 - self-titled - no. 2 (Page 12)self-titled - no. 2 - Contents (Page 13)self-titled - no. 2 - Marnie Stern (Page 14)self-titled - no. 2 - Spinto Band (Page 15)self-titled - no. 2 - Michna (Page 16)self-titled - no. 2 - Michna (Page 17)self-titled - no. 2 - Michna (Page 18)self-titled - no. 2 - Lindstrom (Page 19)self-titled - no. 2 - Flaming Lips (Page 20)self-titled - no. 2 - Flaming Lips (Page 21)self-titled - no. 2 - The Faint on Aphex Twin (Page 22)self-titled - no. 2 - The Faint on Aphex Twin (Page 23)self-titled - no. 2 - Harvey Milk (Page 24)self-titled - no. 2 - Harvey Milk (Page 25)self-titled - no. 2 - Of Montreal (Page 26)self-titled - no. 2 - Growing (Page 27)self-titled - no. 2 - Tricky - The self-titled Interview (Page 28)self-titled - no. 2 - Tricky - The self-titled Interview (Page 29)self-titled - no. 2 - Tricky - The self-titled Interview (Page 30)self-titled - no. 2 - Tricky - The self-titled Interview (Page 31)self-titled - no. 2 - Tricky - The self-titled Interview (Page 32)self-titled - no. 2 - Tricky - The self-titled Interview (Page 33)self-titled - no. 2 - Tricky - The self-titled Interview (Page 34)self-titled - no. 2 - Contents (continued) (Page 35)self-titled - no. 2 - A Place to Bury Strangers (Page 36)self-titled - no. 2 - A Place to Bury Strangers (Page 37)self-titled - no. 2 - A Place to Bury Strangers (Page 38)self-titled - no. 2 - A Place to Bury Strangers (Page 39)self-titled - no. 2 - A Place to Bury Strangers (Page 40)self-titled - no. 2 - A Place to Bury Strangers (Page 41)self-titled - no. 2 - Jay Reatard (Page 42)self-titled - no. 2 - Jay Reatard (Page 43)self-titled - no. 2 - Jay Reatard (Page 44)self-titled - no. 2 - Jay Reatard (Page 45)self-titled - no. 2 - Jay Reatard (Page 46)self-titled - no. 2 - Jay Reatard (Page 47)self-titled - no. 2 - Jay Reatard (Page 48)self-titled - no. 2 - Jay Reatard (Page 49)self-titled - no. 2 - The Melvins (Page 50)self-titled - no. 2 - The Melvins (Page 51)self-titled - no. 2 - The Melvins (Page 52)self-titled - no. 2 - The Melvins (Page 53)http://www.nxtbook.com/nxtbooks/popmartmedia/self-titled_no5http://www.nxtbook.com/nxtbooks/popmartmedia/self-titled_no4http://www.nxtbook.com/nxtbooks/popmartmedia/self-titled_no3http://www.nxtbook.com/nxtbooks/popmartmedia/self-titled_no2http://www.nxtbook.com/nxtbooks/popmartmedia/self-titled_no1http://www.nxtbookMEDIA.com
