Podcast: Orioles star Adam Jones tells us where to eat around MLB

This is The StewPod, our baseball podcast with a dash of pop culture. If you dig the show, please subscribe and review us on iTunes.

Adam Jones is many things — an All-Star outfielder for the Baltimore Orioles, a Silver Slugger, a husband and father, plus a fun follow on social media. But there's another thing he loved to talk about on the latest installment of the StewPod, the Yahoo Sports baseball podcast. That's food.

He's quite the foodie. Whether he's tweeting his #StayHungry hashtag or looking for the best places to eat on the road, Jones knows what's up with food. Remember when he got a birthday cake that looked like a Popeye's box?

But if you ask Jones the best places to eat around MLB (as we did on this week's show) he'll quickly have answers for you, whether it's a Cuban place in New York City or which barbecue spot he prefers in Kansas City. (Food Network, you listening?)

And that's just one of the topics Jones covered his chat with us. We covered a wide range, such as the Orioles' hot start and their power potential, the recent wave of PED busts in baseball and his game-day routine. A few highlights:

On the O's power: "As an offense, it's good knowing that, all right cool, we're never out of a game. We're one swing away from being back in it."

On PEDs: "Obviously these people are making mistakes that are getting caught. I think they put a good structure in place for us with all the supplements, so it is a mistake that they're making. But to say that they're bad people and all that kind of stuff is not where I would start."

This week's show also brings Bad News Ramen back to the StewPod and he's got a great story about Warren G. We're also talking about PEDs, selfies and "Space Jam." Here's the full rundown:
