After all, they didn’t turn down and even praised the winning vegan cornbread stuffing during a guest chef appearance on Top Chef.

But in a comical, 52-page tour rider containing animated drawings, funny lists and other satirical written material, the band jokingly reminds staff to remember their vegetarian crew members who unfortunately, weren’t gotten rid of by “the crusades.”

These instructions are included with menu no-nos, which include “pubic hair,” and punishments for not following instructions, which including receiving a wedgie.

Wilco Coffee

Need some organic coffee to wash down your “She’s A Jar” Wilco Sky Blue Sandwich Company sandwich?

The Chicago based band Wilco now has an organic coffee named after them in addition to some deli sandwiches, available from their hometown roaster, Intelligentsia.

Organic Ethiopia Sidama Homecho Waeno has a description more passionate that country music lyrics:

“The aromatics of coffee blossom and violet make way for an incredibly graceful and elegant cup. The body has a light and silky quality, like fresh whipped cream, that beautifully compliments the ever-present note of citron, juniper berry and vanilla. As it cools, the cup blossoms into notes of confectioner’s sugar, rosehips, and soft raisin, resonating on a pristine finish with a touch of milk chocolate.”
