Eat to the Beat with Bowling for Soup's Rob Felicetti

This week on Flavorphiles, we turn up the volume for an episode all about the strange, funny, and surprisingly important relationship between food and music.Jerry returns to his roots as a longtime radio DJ with a countdown of his top 10 songs about food, from the Beatles, to Frank Sinatra, to Jack Johnson. Then Rob Felicetti of Bowling for Soup joins us to talk about eating on tour: the best meals on the road, the foods that make certain cities worth looking forward to, backstage catering, late-night survival meals, and why he has such a deep love for kangaroo.After that, we get into the restaurant side of the soundtrack. How do great restaurants build playlists? Why does the right song make a room feel alive, while the wrong one can kill the vibe instantly? Tanner breaks down how music shapes pace, mood, energy, and even the way guests experience a meal.Finally, we ask why live music has disappeared from so many restaurants. Is it cost, volume, changing guest expectations, or the rise of the perfectly curated playlist? And when live music does work, what makes it unforgettable?Amuse Booze: The piña colada.Thank you for listening! Join us again every weekend for more food inspired fun.
