Colour Revolt Find ‘Holy Grail’ of Food at Chevron


Colour Revolt, finding America’s best food stops

Colour Revolt just dropped Plunder, Beg, and Curse, which teems with Southern-‘round-the-edges indie rock gems, and they’ve launched a tour behind it alongside the Breeders. That trek kicked-off in their hometown of Oxford, MS last week, where guitarist Jimmy Cajoleas revealed “the real Holy Grail of dining experiences”: the local Chevron near the town square. The place is affectionately and commonly referred to as “Chicken on a Stick,” but it doesn’t actually serve skewered meat. It does, however, dish out pizza sticks, egg rolls and something called crispitos, and it’s the spot where Oxford life convenes after hours. To see anyone from “the forty-something townies to the drunken frat boys to the indie rockers to the honors students breaking from their all-night study sessions,” Cajoles suggests heading there--it's a “true (and delicious!) cultural experience,” after all! Plus, the spot serves as a safety-checkpoint according to Wikitravel.org, which writes, “If you are too drunk to drive and have no other way home, you can almost always find a ride [there] just after the bars close.”

More Colour Revolt can be heard on their MySpace page.

it doesn't actually serve skewered meat? uhhh, yes it does.

I love how the crab's claws in the pic make horns behind the guy's head...
