Quite an Appetite

[michelej1]

[This is from a food blog. Assuming they meant the Dance tour in 1997, I can't see Stevie eating like that in those days. By that time, she was already calorie conscious and intent on getting rid of the Klonopin gain. Sounds like Stevie from a couple of years earlier]

When I was a baby cook, back in 1996, and Fleetwood Mac was doing a reunion tour, Stevie Nicks came into the restaurant (Fog City Diner in San Fransisco) after a show, shall we say a bit messed up. Not quite a chili cheeseburger, Ms. Rhiannon proceeded to order, on one plate, 2 1/4 lb Hebrew National hot dogs, with homemade chili on them, garnished with chopped red onion, "alot of cheese" and sliced scallions...It looked like puke on a plate, but, damn, she ate it all....and signed the kitchen ticket for me....

Actually, I think that is an Atkins diet (she was on that then) dream :shrug:

Eh, why not- everyone splurges once in a while. :shrug: :)

[RavenOfRhiannon]

Hey, When you Dance Across The Stages of the World you get hungry

Yeah, sounds right. Meat and cheese are the main things you can eat on the Atkins diet.

Wow, Fog City Diner. That's not too far from the Financial District hotels, where she has been staying when in SF.

That quote was actually from iwannacook. And this person actually corrected the original. BUT STILL! I somehow don't see Stevie walking into a diner in '96. But you never know.

"Sorry, for the typographical confusion, it was two 1/4 lb. doggies. Still the plate had two 1/4 lb. dogs, two 8 oz.scoops of sirloin and black bean chile' 2 large handful of dicede red onion, a bunch of diced scallions and probably 4 oz. of shredded cheese...needless to say, I'd party with her anytime, but, so then has everyone else....peace"

Hey, she stole my plate :laugh:

Seriously though, this sounds like the Atkins diet but that's a lot of food....

I guess based on the riders we saw, I got the feeling she leaned more towards chicken.

I LOVE Fog City Diner.

It's more North Beach than Financial District though, although everything in the Financial District is closed by 7 or 8 anyways (which is a shame, because she probably would have loved Schroeder's... lol)

Well, hopefully the Fog City Diner stays open late because I'd hate to think Stevie had this meal before the show. I can't imagine doing the Stand Back twirls with a stomach full of chili dogs, beans, onion . . .

Well, in theory and given an adequate amount of time to digest, it could provide propulsion much like a pinwheel with sparklers attached :cool:

God Michele, can you imagine the breath on her after a meal like that? :shocked:

:lol: One of the funniest posts I've read in a long time. Maybe Fog City Diner could cater to Stevie when she tours to keep her from having those lethargic moments onstage. :thumbsup:

Yes, the tour rider now reads LOTS OF CHILI and one of those really long bar-b-q pit lighters to be handled by a roadie, likely the same one who did the blow in the mid 80's :D

It's actually on the Embarcadero. North Beach is nearby, but a few blocks west up the hill. I was just saying it was near the Financial District, and that's where she usually stays when she does a show in Concord or San Jose.

Yeah, Schroeders would have been great for her low carb thing. It's meat galore there!

I know where it is- I just always associate it with North Beach because I've often had late dinners there before going off to Tosca/Mr. Bing's/etc. on Columbus. That, and I always associate Coit Tower with North Beach.

To envision Stevie drinking beer from a 2 liter boot-shaped glass at Schroeder's was enough to make me LOL... I love that place dearly. If you're ever downtown on a Friday around 6 or so, pop in- live polka!

[Musicman408]

Man, I swear if I ever had a "real life" encounter with Stevie, you know, in a place like that, I would totally be in dreamland. It would be insane and i would love it.

I Love Me Some Stevie~

She likes the Mandarian.

Also, I lOVE that area. Two of my friends used to work at the Bay Club, which is right by the FCD. I used to go there and wait for them to get off work. Great drinks and Great food -- at least circa 1989-94.

How cool. Where you living and working in SF?

I always hear cool stories about Stevie being in this part of town.

No - but I wish!!!!

My friend from high school moved from Louisiana to SFCA in 1987. She lived in the Marina for about three years, but her building was damaged in the quake. Her grandmother, who lived in Saint Francis Wood in this HUGE house, got her a place is Sausalito way up on a hill as you first arrive there. So, I was there like every other month for a week or so and we'd hang out. She is a little "out there" (a psychologist now - go figure :laugh: ) -- and she'd haul me out to all these crazy places like this chruch called GLIDE (she marched on Washington with them) . I used to love North Beach Pizza, drinks at The Clift Hotel, Zuni (best roast chicken on the planet! ) , the Haight, Tiburon (delightful!!) - and the like. We used to go on her Scooter to all these places. Let me say, crossing the Golden Gate bridge while riding on the back of a speeding scooter while holding on to some crazy chick is an event :laugh:

Brig. got all serious with school and got married to another chick and had a baby. So, our lives are different. I miss those times though. In fact, I read "Interview with a Vampire" while living in New Orleans and visiting SFCA. Such great memories!

I LOVE SFCA.

Wow, very impressive. I think visitors sometimes to get know the City better than its locals! I wonder if Stevie ever rode on the back of a scooter :laugh: Thanks for sharing.

Well, she was new there -- so we kind of discovered the city (or at least parts of it) together.
