the boys at El Arryo in Austin, TX

One of The Sound of URCHIN's main reasons for being a band is their love for fine food. The complex personalities that make up The Sound of URCHIN come together as one solid unit when they are sitting around a table, menus in hand, and getting ready to enjoy a warm, hearty meal on the road. We, here at Steven, thought it would be a good idea to document URCHIN's favorite places to eat when they hit that town. The prerequisites for a restaurant being on this list is:

a) all of the band members must eat at that restaurant
b) all of the band members have enjoyed their meal beyond normal eating satisfaction
c) B-ILL must put his final stamp of approval!!!!

We hope you enjoy this ever-growing Zagat-like list of fine eating establishments, and when you are in these towns make sure to visit these URCHIN-APPROVED, B-ILL SEALED, restaurants. And when URCHIN visits your town, make sure to direct them to your finest of dining!!!!!

(please note that this list is in no particular order and only includes the best)

  1. DP Dough, Ithaca NY - Gourmet "calzone-only" establishment, open all hours and featuring the most delicious, slamminest, innovative experimental calzone creations.

  2. Old Devil Moon, 12th St bet. A&B, East Village, NYC - Dennis D's incredible home southern cooking featuring unbelievable tasting pies for dessert.

  3. Texas Bar-B-Que Corral, near Cumby, TX - Husband & wife kitchen with the tastiest meat in the world and the best home made BBQ sauce. Also offering FedEx service.

  4. El Arryo, downtown Austin, TX - Tex-Mex Perfection, featuring appetizer taste-teasers that will have you full before you get a chance to enjoy the serious burritos & enchiladas.

  5. H.I. Rib Company, Lambertville, NJ - We call this shit the "High Intensity Rib Co." because of the serious quality of Ribification that is offered here. If you are in South Jersey, find this joint. They also have this "appetizer" called an Onion Ring Loaf. This thing will grind out your inerds. It is basically like hundreds of thin onion rings fried a second or maybe third time and then mashed together and sculpted into like the Close Encounters tower thingy and then fried again to ensure proper form. then they give you a steak knife and four plates. It is like an onion ring birthday cake or edible onion ring art. It is fuckin' sick and sickening. but we couldn't get enough.
