Then both Andy and David rave about about a great place in Raleigh they have both enjoyed and mentioned, Mojoe's Burger Joint. Be sure and listen to us make fun of other Yelp reviewers who seem to forget they are there for the food. Enjoy!
This week David and Andy are on a roll talking about David smoking a Pork Butt on his new grill. They talk pulled pork versus chopping it up. David then tells us about his horrific gig in Santa Cruz, CA that he may or may not have made it to. Then we talk about THE VARSITY in Atlanta, GA. David had a stop over there during his adventure and enjoyed some chili drenched food wile in the Atlanta airport. Andy then takes us to Roanoke, VA where he performed at the Star City Comedy Club which is inside a place called Corned Beef & Co. (He didn't try their food, I'm sure it's awesome, sorry.) However he got some Enormous pizza that was awesome from Benny Marconi's. They don't mess around there. The fellas tell you how to save hundreds of dollars by never letting Jiffy Lube change your air filters and don't miss the talk about the Two/To/Too geniuses Andy overheard at Mojoe's. Enjoy!
This week David and Andy talk about Eating It on stage. Some of there worst gigs and what made them so bad. Then Andy takes us back to Augusta, GA where he found a great place for breakfast where it's so good you'll suck it right out of your teeth at the Sunrise Grill. David then heads down the street from his house to the Galaxy Cafe, (where all the attractive ladies apparently eat), to try a free range chipotle chicken wrap. No one is more shocked than us as to how prepared David is for this episode. It is yet another great time, so give it a listen. Enjoy!
Hey, it's the Comedy and Food podcast. This week David and Andy tell you about some great places to eat that they have discovered while on the road performing comedy. This week Andy was at Goodnight's Comedy Club in Raleigh, NC (his home club) and an owner of several Dickey's Barbecue Pit's brought in some delicious BBQ for Jimmie "JJ" Walker and Andy and the staff. Then David escaped the state of Texas and went to Salt Lake City, Utah where he ate a delicious meal that was also an awesome deal at Hook & Ladder Co Fire Station No. 13. It sounded so good! And as if that wasn't enough, he hit up Nonna's Pizzeria. They provided an incredible Italian meal for yet another deal. The Tobey boys claim that it was Too Much Cheese! But we all know that's BLASPHEMY! There is more talk of possibly making it to Franklin's BBQ in Austin, TX, twice voted best BBQ in America and right near David, yet he's never been. We have fun making these. Hope you enjoy listening!
