Keith Urban: His Favorite Place To Eat
It’s no secret that Keith Urban is a very wealthy man. There was one time when I interviewed Keith at a studio in Nashville a couple of years ago, and he had a car parked outside that I just knew it was his. It was a Bugatti and I found out later that it was a $2 million car. I made sure not to touch it on my way out.
However, even though he’s a rich guy, one of his favorite restaurants to eat at, may just surprise you. Keith told actor Rob Lowe in a recent podcast, “I do love Waffle House. How can you not?”
Urban even shared what his favorite meal is at Waffle House. He noted that he likes his breakfast, “Scattered, smothered, covered, chunked, chopped, diced — let’s go!”
Lowe then asked him if he had ever written a song about Waffle House and he said he hadn’t, adding, “Jonas Brothers nailed that one, it’s a good one too.”

The superstar has a song on his new album, High, which came out in September, that is raw and emotional. The song is called “Break the Chain,” and it touches on the subject matter of addiction and alcoholism. It’s something Keith has dealt with his whole life.
Urban told us how the song came to life in a writing session with a songwriter he had never written with before. He said, “When we wrote it, I knew I wanted to end the album with it, and the album wasn’t even finished, and I didn’t know what songs would be on the album I just wanted to end with that.”
He continued, “It was just one of those beautiful divine days when it’s time for that song. This melody came, and this lyric came, and it just flowed.”
Keith found himself teary-eyed as the words came out of his pen to paper, “I get to the second verse, and I just start weeping on this guy’s couch, and he looks over at me and says, ‘Mmm, it must be true.'”
Urban said, “The truth about the song is that, you know, I was born in an alcoholic family, my dad was an alcoholic, and my journey is being raised in a family and whatever that carries with it to adulthood.”
