After two decades together, the Bouncing Souls have logged their fair share of miles on the road. As would be expected, frontman Greg Attonito has gotten used to dining on the run, especially in regards to being a vegetarian. In a recent conversation about the band's '20th Anniversary Series' album -- which is being released one song at a time every month this year -- Attonito told Spinner about how he maintains a consistent menu while on tour. So, grab a plate, a napkin and your favorite condiments and dig into Greg's five favorite road eats.1. Tofurkey Sandwiches: You have to have some good bread, like a roll, Italian or sourdough. Then some avocado, mayo, mustard and cheese might be nice. That would be great with some chips and a drink, and it'll keep me fueled on the road for a long time. We always have some meats and veggie meats in our tour rider so you can make a sandwich.
2. Thai Green Curry: Being a vegetarian, there are a few things I can rely on on the road and one of them is Thai food. If I see a Thai restaurant, I know I can get some vegetables, rice and curry and it's usually somewhat decent. So, vegetables with green curry, a little spicy and hot, is really good if you're voice is tired. In the cooler months, you're feeling like you haven't gotten a good hot meal, that'll help you out.
3. Pizza: There's always the classic -- pizza, which you can get as a vegan if you want. Being from the East, I have a vast, expansive taste in pizza but I'm willing to appreciate a Pizza Hut or Domino's for what it is. Late at night, Domino's can be just the right thing. It's like, "That's what we got? Let's enjoy it even though it's total crap." My favorite is Rosario's in New York. They make a slice with mozzarella, basil and garlic. It's really good.
4. French Fries: Sometimes fries just feel good, not necessarily because they're good for you but sometimes it doesn't matter because you completely enjoy them. For condiments, I'll go with ketchup, mayo, and sometimes a little a mustard is in the mix. In Idaho, where I live now, they have what's called fry sauce, which I think is a combination of ketchup, mayo, and something else I don't know, like a thousand island kind of thing. I don't know that I've ever gotten fries in a fast food place, though -- I almost don't consider it an option. It's not even really food to me.
5. Chocolate: Something with peanuts and chocolate is my first option. I'll get maybe Reese's or something like that too. Dark chocolate's on our rider because that's the best kind of candy there is. It's good for you and it's really good for your voice. Our rider's pretty simple -- chocolate, sandwich stuff, chips, some drinks and beer.

Daily Dose of Style is back in full swing and ready to tackle on new fashion dilemmas, season standouts and much more! Today, let's take on a personal issue of mine. The problem: I'm in a wardrobe rut and have been for the past several weeks. You ever have those periods of time where you hate everything in your closet, or absolutely bored of it? Ugh! And since I'm still recovering from my holiday spending (ahem, over-spending), I can't just splurge on new clothes to solve my apparel angst. The solution: Layering! Playing with layers can produce outfits for you that feel totally new. I have to admit I haven't mastered this form of art yet. I need to schedule some playtime in my closet in fact. Look below. This is what I'm taking about. Topping your old dress with a cardigan, vest and scarf updates a once-drab dress... and makes the outfit all the more interesting! How do you layer? Tell me below! Stay tuned by the way for voguetouch Shopping's Guide to Layering coming in February!
