HUNGRY POP STARS
When the stars are playing at a festival Valerie may have to cook for up
to a thousand people which includes all the crew and the people who
work backstage. She erects a marquee - a huge tent - and the food is
served buffet style from a central serving area. She has to cater for differ-
133
ent tastes, so there are normally four or more choices of menu. She also
has to look after people who may be on a special diet or some singers
who don't eat dairy food before a concert.
She drives an enormous truck full of kitchen equipment and hires at least
three walk-in refrigerators, a dishwashing unit and portable cabins which
act as storerooms and office.
All the bands have to queue up to be served and everyone has to have a
meal ticket. The stars are usually more relaxed when they are eating as no
one is bothering them for autographs, although Valerie says that sometimes the security men and the stars' managers are more trouble than the
stars themselves.
There are certain things which she always has to keep in stock like herbal
teas and her own particular mixture of honey, lemon and ginger which
singers like to keep in flasks on stage with them-when they're singing.
Years ago bands used to drink quite a lot of alcohol, but these days
they're much healthier. Most bands drink fresh fruit juice and prefer to eat
salads.
A lot of people in the bands are quite young and they're not used to very
expensive food, so Valerie prepares plain food unless a band sends her a
'rider'. This is a list of special requirements. When people are tired, un-
well or homesick they like to have familiar 'comfort' food so she keeps a
stock of people's requirements just in case. As a result of all this, Valerie
says she has become an expert shopper and in less than in hour in a supermarket she can spend $1000 dollars.
A lot of bands won't eat before a concert because they're too nervous, so
Valerie and her staff can end up working very long hours as they have to
be around to provide what people want at two or three in the morning.
One thing Valerie has noticed is that the more mad a band is on stage, the
more normal they are when they are off it. She says she is amazed at the
change in behaviour. A really wild singer can turn out to be really quiet
and polite off stage.
