What do the Brookes Brothers eat?

Alright mates so theres a few people in the DNB scene who are also pretty outspoken foodies and or chefs lets dive in to this bowl of questions.

 

#1. Favorite all time meal ever had before or after a gig.

 

Dan – I had a perfectly battered Blue-Eyed Trevalla looking out over the Indian ocean in Hobart, Tasmania the morning after a show – the juiciest most unbelievably tasty piece of fish I’ve ever had in my life. Served with Ketchup.

Phil – Amazing pre-show Japanese food at Gonpachi in Tokyo (where they filmed that Kill Bill scene). Can’t remember exactly what I had but it blew my mind. Then post-show a KFC. Japanese KFC is on another level.

2. While on the road traveling for gigs and tight on time, whats your number 1 favorite snack thats never let you down.

 

Dan – Salt & Vinegar Squares or a Double Cheeseburger, depends on how late we are. I am also totally  addicted to Haribo, current faves are Smurfs and Sour Suckers.

 

           Phil – Pickled Onion Monster Munch and an Orange Lucozade #healthgoals

 

#3. So this ones a bit of a longer one. Top 3 gigs in different countries with the most memorable food.

 

Puerto Rico – We were in the hotel looking for food before the show and met this kindly American family in the lift who surprisingly donated us one of their XL full house pizzas. They liked our accents.

           Switzerland – I was snacking on a platter of Swiss delicacies backstage after a gig in Schaffhausen, thought I was sampling some delicious Swiss ham until a guy asked if I could ‘pass the horse’.   

 

           New Zealand – We managed to catch the KFC Double Down promotion in NZ –  so fuckin epic. You might be able to tell we like a bit of junk food on tour, but we try and keep it healthy day-to-day..

#4. Whats your pick for studio food, it can get tricky with so many electronics around to eat without mucking up your gear!

 

Dan – I don’t really tend to snack in the studio, I normally retreat to the couch for my snacks. Baobab Lemonade is my secret studio weapon. Half a lime, half a lemon, a drop of Iceland Berry Drink, one tablespoon of dried Baobab powder, fill with Water. Makes for the cleanest studio buzz I’ve known, and amazing energy distribution across the day. If i had to name a studio snack, I’d go with a pack of Jacobs cracker crisps…

 

           Phil – Not much of a snacker these days. If anything I’ll go for a banana or a satsuma. Probably drink too much fruit juice in there though. 

 

#5. All time favorite desserts!
