You should of given The Triple Rock an honorable mention. Co-owned by Gretchen Funk and Erik Funk of the punk band Dillinger Four. It is a venue, but also a bar which has incredible food. I would name drop, but I would sound like a douche if I did.

yea, here is a shitty punk rock restaurant story. i am in a pop punk band called death adder day care. after getting back from baltimore in the summer of 09, i was talking to joe queer (of the queers fame of course) about recording our album there. we were always talking about a mid march ‘10 time. so fast forward til january, we finally decided on like march 14-19 to record and mix and shit our album. the next mail i got from him was “i’m sorry austin, but something just fell into my lap, i’m closing my studio and cancelling shows”. why, i sad????? because he is opening up a fucking restaurant. so fuck that. needless to say i was upset and let the fuck down by a friend and mentor. i don’t know what the place is called or where it is.

i just asked him, “do you need a head chef” and no reply. and we know each other…shitty man, shitty.

Don’t leave out Warren Oaks, formally of Against Me!, leaving the band and becoming part owner of Boca Fiesta in Gainesville, FL.

Let’s not forget ex-Husker Du bassist Greg Norton, who dropped out of music to become a chef. These days he and his wife Sarah are the proud owners of their own restaurant in Red Wing, MN, appropriately named “The Nortons’”.

And he’s still got the awesome handlebar moustache!
