944 IS LOONEY TUNES
The Lookout
When the editor of 944 Magazine, D.B. Mitchell, called and asked us to write something for his Summer Music Issue, we wondered how we could tie food and music together.
Best restaurant tunes? Nah, most of them just play Thievery Corporation knock-offs or nothing worth mentioning.
What about the music that inspires chefs? No fun.
So we decided to go the less-literal route and pair foods with tunes, creating an angle that neither matters nor makes any sense. But it’s fun to read nonetheless! For instance, did you know that the sticky buns at El Chorro Lodge have been around longer than the Rolling Stones – and that’s why we paired the sugary babies with the Stones’ whole 1971 album, Sticky Fingers. We balanced out the prim and proper cotton candy at Noca with the down and dirty “Cotton Candy” from Insane Clown Posse. As for the ribs at Stacy’s BBQ Smokehouse—it was a toss up between George Thorogood’s “Bad to the Bone” and Widespread Panic’s “Ribs and Whiskey.” Check out the PDF to see who won.
