Country star TIM McGRAW is such a fan of perfect burgers and sandwiches he includes the equipment and ingredients he needs to make them on his tour rider. The singer has added a "sandwich press" to his backstage requests list for his current US tour with wife FAITH HILL.

He explains, "It makes those flat Cuban sandwiches and it's great to do a burger. "You make the burger, put everything you want on it, especially onions and peppers, throw a piece of salami on there, and sharp cheddar cheese and then you use French bread and press the whole thing."

McGraw also insists on an hour of solitude before each show: "I'm pretty much a private and shy guy. It takes me a while to work up the courage to get up there and do what I do."
