About this episode

The episode features Mike Robinson discussing his Food on Tour Guide and sharing favorite dining spots while touring.

Welcome back to Drummers on Drumming, a podcast powered by Big Fat Snare Drum. This week, we’re celebrating the release of Mike Robinson’s new Food on Tour Guide. Mike has toured with Say Anything, Oliver Tree, K.Flay, and many more and this guide is built from years of eating on the road.

To celebrate, Mike, Eric, and I each share five spots that have stood out to us over our combined decades on the road.
