Chef Billy "The Kid" is on vacation this week.
And guess who is filling in for him...

Retired Chef Bernie "Cy" Calloway, he's back at the big CC all week (after a three year retirement).
Chef Bernie has worked for many NYC landmark restaurants (Sardi's, Patsy's, Elaines, Corner Bistro).
And after spending the last few years in South Carolina trying to perfect the art of making BBQ sauce, he's back, for one week only.
Word on the street is that today for lunch we are having beef ribs and grits.
Glad to have you back Bernie.
Generic juice isn't that great... but it's free, so I'm... happy.
Thank you.

today on 48th -6th Avenue.
We chatted and then both went about... to our humble 'day jobs'.
Folks, I just want to let you know that I have a new favorite ICE CREAM FLAVOR.
Previously it was 'chocolate', though I love vanilla ice cream, hot fudge sundaes (no nuts).
And coffee ice cream (thanks to my dad) is also up there on the top of my list.
But now, I can honestly say, I am in love with this new favorite flavor:

'Cherry Garcia'
It's like a combination of many things I enjoy. A little chocolate, some cherries, ah... feel the joy.
Not only is Matt Wade the best brother in the world, he is probably the most faithful fan the Boston Red Sox could ever have. (He is also gets mistaken for Kurt Russell)

RED SOX WIN SIXTH-STRAIGHT; YANKEES LOSE
BY: MATT WADE, (BOSTON-----) The Boston Red Sox defeated the Detroit Tigers 6-1 on
Sunday afternoon. Sox knuckleballer Tim Wakefield pitched eight strong
innings, allowing three hits and one run. Wakefield inproves to (11-7)
on the year. He is 6-1 in his last seven starts.
���� To make the day even better, American League rivals, the New York
Yankees, did not come back today, and lost 6-4 to the dreadful Toronto
Blue Jays. The Red Sox, who trailed by 10 1/2 games less than two weeks
ago, find themselves only 4 1/2 games out of first place in the East
(the closest the Sox have been to them since June 23). The Red Sox play
six more games with the Yankees, and as we all know, anything can
happen.
���� Do you miss Nomar? Boston certainly does not. The Red Sox are 21-8
since the departure of the whining star shortstop. Sources tell the
Globe, he doesn't like Chicago too much either. Oh well.
���� The Sox begin a consecutive three-game home series against Wild
Card rivals, the Anaheim Angels and the Texas Rangers, respectfully.
Curt Schilling gets the nod for Boston on Tuesday night versus the
Angels.
���� "Tuesday is a big game for us. Hopefully, I can send us on the
right track for the rest of the series, Matt," said Schilling yesterday.
The Red Sox are now 1 1/2 games ahead of the Anaheim Angels in the Wild
Card, and with Texas' loss today, the Sox lead them by 3 whole
games.
��
Comments from readers last week thru e-mails:
"Wade, you are right on the money with your remarks. I like a good,
non-biased reporter, like you."
"You are such an #$%hole!" (referring to my comments that the Yankees
are slipping away last week)
"Get a life, Matt. The Sox are not going to win the Wild Card!"
"Kudos again Matt on your column. Thanks for the information."
"Awesome job, Matty, per usual! Thanks for the great article."
"Brief, to the point, and a wealth of knowlege last week."

SO LONG ROBERTA, YOU WILL BE MISSED:

(guess who is camera-shy?)
My time has come. Tuesday will be my last day as your beloved assistant office supervisor executive (just in case you want to bring gifts, I take a size 11.5 shoe -Doug, you remember when you called me "Big Foot?"). It was so wonderful meeting and working with all of you the past 18 years. Each of you has helped teach me a little something about myself, and for that I am genuinely thankful. So please keep in touch...don't forget about me. My email is
XXXXX@XXX.com
and the digits are (XXX) XXX-XXXX. Alfred and I will be moving to Orlando, Florida (Disney World every day, he-he-he), where he will be night time manager of one of the Friendly's Restaurants near the Magic Kingdom.

So if you're ever passing through, looking for a Fribble Milkshake never hesitate to call.
Thanks again for everything.
XOXOXOXOX and then some,
Rockin' Roberta

(The Chef... back when he was happy)
The reason why?
Chef Billy asked out Eva, the workplace Commissary Dishwasher. They've been working together for over six years (right after her husband Herb met a man named Earl and moved to Paris, Texas). Eva doesn't like the CHEF in that way. Now things in the kitchen are pretty uncomfortable.

(Eva works hard circa 2002 - only photo we could get)
Chef Billy claims he wasn't proposing marriage to Eva, he just wanted to take her out for a beer, soda, coffee, or juice.
"He-ey, man. I just wanted to take a chance... I mean Eva is Eva and to me... she is a prett-ee class-ee lad-ee." -(not an actual quote, but I have confirmation that he said something like that to Petey, the busboy.)

(What will happen if the Top Food man, Rick,photo above, finds out about the "awkwardness" in the BIG KITCHEN?)
VINCENT GALLO AND SEAN "AM I JOHN?" LENNON

(Vincent Gallo or my neighbor from NH, Tom Dykstra?)
They had a concert in the East Village and I went with my buddy Justin.
It was jam packed and I need my space. I am Adam Wade.
So I went from the second row to the very very back by the door before they finished their first song.
A lot of hip people were there.

I guess just me being there rounded out the hip and un hip.
I just try to be who I am.

brief passage:
Within twenty minutes I had lost $20 on the... nickel machines. My grandmother taunted me, "Nickels? C'mon." I went over to the quarter machines and quickly blew another $40. That's when I stopped. My hard earned money (and the $10 my great aunt Arety secretly slipped me) was quickly evaporating. NO MORE GAMBLING for me.

Last night I dreamt I was on a fancy elevator (had this dream a few times before). The elevator goes up and then stops and then goes sideways...

Then it goes up and up and up (real fast) and then it goes through the roof (explosion) and I'm flying in the elevator and... before it can come down... I wake up.

I did have a great trip. I am now relaxed and ready to work hard.
I rode in a bus for over 8 hours today and I am hitting the bar tonight.

August 18, 2004
I ate stuffed flounder tonight (it was excellent).
Then I took a 2 hour walk (2nd of the day) came home, watched the Red Sox and ate 2 WHOPPEE PIES (the greatest dessert food ever) and then microwave popcorn.

Now I don't feel so hot.
WADE WILL BE LIVE TOMORROW NIGHT AT...:

(Ed sans golf clubs)
I bought a 9 dollar travel golf bag at the local New Hampshire K MART and I'm bringing back my golfclubs.
(back story, Ed, the bartender is great at golf -well, that's what he says)
Now, I am ready for a good ol' showdown, now that I will have my clubs in Hoboken, and when I say clubs I mean my:
3 iron, 5 iron, 7 iron, 9 iron, pitching wedge, and putter ***
Looking forward to seeing you Ed.
*** I plan on buying a 3 Wood at a yard sale in the weeks to come. Then I will be ready to rock.
The 2 other 'cool' audio clips somehow never made it onto the blog. I lost them some how. Dammit!
AND NOW BEACH BUMMED OUT:
I just took a long walk on the beach and observed a few things.

A lot of young girls with tattoos. Big ones covering their backs, arms etc. 'Dolphins', 'Tigers', 'Dragons', 'Tony', 'Billy', 'Lee', 'Shamrock', 'Sorority Letters'
A lot of middle aged, heavy set women with Pam Anderson's BARBED WIRE arm tattoos. UH-OH! What was cool circa 1995... well, is no longer cool.
A lot of elderly ladies with blue ink all over them, and I couldn't figure out what the tattoos are of.
A lot of women walking the beach in bikinis who have guts and belly button rings (but they are tanned).
(note: I'm not making fun of these women, I am simply reporting what I saw)
OKAY, WHAT WERE YOU WEARING MR 'BEACH FASHION', WHILE WALKING THE BEACH?:
Flip flops, a pair of gym shorts, a white V-neck tshirt (my Dad's), clip-on sunglasses and a tan Baseball hat the says "SHERRIF" on it.

Getting a coffee.
August 16, 2004
YOKENS, the restaurant my folks always took my brother and I to when we'd visit the beach growing up is CLOSING!

I got sick everytime I ever ate there.
And I came up with the phrase... 'Thar she blows (her cookies).'
It wasn't too funny the first time I said it to my folks, honest.
Yes, today I spent ALL day with my mother, grandmother, and my aunt Arety. I had a great time.
Road trips are fun and all, but when you do a road trip with these three ladies, EVERY moment is priceless.

MATT WADE AUDIO.
Yes, Matt Wade is my brother and a big Red Sox fan.
Now here is some Matt Wade audio commentary on the Sox.
Enjoy.
SURPRISE #2
AND A NEW ARTICLE BY MATT
IF SEASON ENDED TODAY, RED SOX WOULD BE TIED FOR AL WILD CARD
By: Matt Wade,
(Boston)-----Despite losing a heart-breaker today against the Chicago
White Sox, 5-4, the Boston Red Sox are tied with the Texas Rangers for
the American League Wild Card race.
���� The Red Sox have 44 games remaining on their schedule. They have a
three game series at Fenway (MTW) hosting the dreadful cellar dwellars,
the Toronto Blue Jays. The Sox begin their final seven weeks of the
regular season against the Blue Jays tomorrow, sending Derek Lowe, Pedro
Martinez, and Tim Wakefield to the hill.
���� "We have to win this series, and 3 out of 3 would be nice," said
Terry Francona on Sunday. Lowe has to turn it up a notch; we'll be happy
with Pedro if he can a near-performance of his gem complete game shutout
Thursday, and Wakefield has to show that he is not a batting practice
pitcher, which he was looked like in his last two starts (6 home runs in
a game last week,OOUUCHHH!).
����
���� Boston faces Toronto for three at home, then head out to Chicago
for a three game series this weekend. Texas host the Cleveland Indians
for three (the Indians are hot, hot, hot) and then face the weary Kansas
City Royals, who will be happy to win 1 of 3. Anaheim is at Tampa Bay
this week for three and then head to the Bronx to face the Yankees for
three this weekend. This is the first time I have ever said this: I hope
the Yankees sweep. The Sox are 10 1/2 back in the AL East, and we have
to be realistic about winning the division.
For Numbers Sake: Here is a look at the AL Wild Card Race as of Sunday
night, August 15th:
1. Boston (64-52, .552) -----
1. Texas (64-52, .552) -----
2. Anaheim (65-53, .551) -----
���� The Red Sox need a sweep against the Blue birds and better get
their act together against the White Sox (lost 2 of 3 to them this
weekend) and win at least 2 out of 3. Go SOX!
Also, happy birthday to my mother, Cyndi, on August 16th. Mom, I hope
Lowe comes through for you tomorrow night.
August 14, 2004

The next few days expect some interesting things to happen on this blog.
Many special 'guests' will be here doing some very cool things.
I don't want to give it away, but please check back when you can (as often as you can). I promise it will be worth it.

Get rid of the Lollipop Guild hairlip short and the ugly Amish beeyotch with the hat and the 2 sluts and you might, just might have a party. oh yeah...get rid of the in hats....and the rest of the ugly guys....which would be all of the rest of the party. Then it just might work...but I doubt it
I guess I am one of the 'rest of the ugly guys.'
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Late-night comedian Craig Kilborn is quitting his CBS talk show after a five-year stint in the time slot following "Late Show With David Letterman," Hollywood's trade papers reported on Friday.
Kilborn and Viacom Inc. -owned CBS had been in talks throughout the summer for a new multiyear deal keeping him at the helm of "The Late, Late Show with Craig Kilborn," but he told network executives on Thursday that he wanted to move on, according to Daily Variety.
"It was easily the greatest job I've had, and CBS was very generous in their offer to re-sign me," the paper quoted Kilborn, 41, as saying. "But I simply want to try something new. I can now focus on writing and producing different television projects I haven't had time for."

Yes, let's look at what I was doing on this day 10 years ago.
AUGUST 11, 1994
Golf try outs!
As captain of the team I met up with Central High Golf Coach Wally Tafe, to discuss our Fall season. We met in the pro shop of the Derryfield Country Club.
14 others showed up (and they all made the squad).
I only golfed 9 holes (it was very hot and humid). I shot a 44 (7 over par).
I ate 2 hot dogs and a whoopee pie at '7th Heaven' (the 7th hole had a hot dog shack) and two Cokes (16 oz).

(this is what a whoopie pie looks like)
Fellow High School Senior Golfer, KEVIN "Chi Chi" Robidas shot a 62 (9 holes).
I am working very hard as usual.
Red Sox won last night. I am back on the bandwagon.
Wild Card Fever.

Huh? I don't know what to say.
Free food today at Comedy Central consists of
THE COLD CUTS


"If you-u-u don't ta like it, don't' ta ea-atit!"
Chef Billy "The Kid" making sanwiches at Comedy Central's commissary.

Eugene (his real name) enjoys his lunch, everyone else in the office forgot it was 'HAWAIIAN BEACH DAY' except him.
This is the concert film I saw last Friday with Pat the bartender.
We both love the Grateful Dead.
This movie focuses on a train trip with stops all over Cananda where these popular Hippy bands played shows in the early 1970s (2 months before Janice Joplin died). Like a traveling Woodstock.
On the train they played music and got loaded. BIG TIME.
Janice Joplin's performances are INCREDIBLE!
The DEAD were also very good.
The Band was so so tight! Take a load off, Fanny!
Buddy Guy is the guy! What a showstopper he did.
Sha Na Na? I have no idea why they were there. They sucked.
BIGGEST COMPLAINT:

(Not enough Pig Pen in this movie)
After the movie we hit VIRGIL'S BBQ in Times Square for some Burgers, pork sandwiches, and JT'S Train Wreck fries. I used to work at Virgils (1998-1999) and when we walked in... JT (himself) greeted us. Pat was impressed.
All in all, it was a good day.
He will be reporting from there all week,
DAY 3:
'Hello Wade Fans, this is Giovanni and I am in Italy with my WADE shirt.
It has been a great trip, thus far. The cars here in Italy are small (no photo)

Here I am with my buddies Robert (a fellow Met Fan) and Jeff. We are enjoying some ziti.

This is an active volcano, and this is a smokestack.
Wade, I will send some more photos and notes again tomorrow.
Your Pal,
Giovanni'

I am very happy!
Half a cup and I am ready to face the world.
Great haircut, scary trip to barber.
I hit my local haircut place for a trim and instead of getting the hot lady I always hope to get my haircut from (but it never seems to be written in the cards), I got it from an 'interesting' lady who actually told me 3/4s into the haircut that it was her first day.
My lower back has been stiff and she was rather short so I had to bunch up on the barber chair, forcing strain on my lower back. She must have smoked a half a pack of cigarettes before my turn and had a menthol tablet that smelled like... methol, in her mouth to match the strength of the cigarette.
She talked throughout the haircut, seemed very nervous, but was actually endearing to me, though I was a bit nervous and my back didn't feel all that spectacular.
For a guy who wanted 'just a trim' she really chopped a lot off. But... alas, it will grow back. She tried real hard and said, "This is a $27 haircut, but I'm only charging you $12."
NOW WADE HAS LEARNED:
I plan on waiting (even if it is an hour or two) for the beautiful lady to cut my hair. They have this system there ("Who's next?" - "I'm waiting for her!")

Not only is Matt Wade the best brother in the world, he is probably the most faithful fan the Boston Red Sox could ever have.
______________________________
SOX FINISH LONG ROAD TRIP AND COME HOME TOMORROW FOR SOME 'HOME COOKING'
By: Matt Wade

(BOSTON)----- Tim Wakefield allowed SIX home runs today in Detroit, the
first time a pitcher has done so in a game since 1940. However,
Wakefield and the Red Sox beat the fading Tigers, 11-9.
Coming into Saturday's game, the Sox were two games out in the
American League Wild Card, and going into their ten-game homestand in
the friendly confines of Fenway Park, the local nine find themselves
tied for the Wild Card with the Texas Rangers:
AL WILD CARD RACE
1. Boston (60-49), .550 -----
1. Texas (60-49), .550 -----
2. Anaheim (61-50), .546 -----

How about the American League East Race? Well, the New York Yankees
lead the Red Sox by 10 1/2 games and the Sox have fifty-three games
left. To go ahead of New York, come October 2nd (the last day of the
season), if Boston goes 33-20, New York would have to go 22-30. As hard
as it is, we have to be realistic on catching the Yankees, and they
boast the best record in the American League, with only eight weeks to
go. Boston has to focus on the Wild Card. But that's o.k. We just want
to get into the playoffs.
Boston is now home for the next 10 games, playing Tampa Bay,
Chicago, and the Toronto Blue Jays. These three teams have a combined
record of 155-175. The Sox need to win as many as possible. Eight or
nine wins would be great. The fans at Fenway will be riled up for this
homestand.
For starters: Curt Schilling is the ace of the staff. Pedro
Martinez has gone 8-1 in his last 9 decisions, but Schilling is 13-5,
with a 3.38 ERA. Pedro is 12-4, with a 3.94 ERA, and Tim Wakefield,
despite today's bad performance, is 8-6, with a 4.48 ERA. Red Sox closer
Keith Foulke is finally getting some save opportunities of late, and has
18 saves, with a 1.86 ERA. If the Sox have a one or two run lead going
into the ninth, Foulke has to come through with some 1,2,3 9th innings.

Manny Ramirez should be back in the line-up tomorrow (.320,28,85),
David Ortiz is back (.308,28,98), Johnny Damon is hitting .303, Kevin
Millar has gone from .247 to .295 in the last month, and Kevin Youkilis
has upped his average to .281 and is beginning to hit some long balls.
This guy could put up some Nomar-like numbers. Wouldn't it be nice if
the Sox end up playing the Chicago Cubs in the World Series, and the Sox
win the series in the seventh game at Fenway. Then, cry-baby Nomar will
wish he was still wearing red stockings.
Wade's Prediction: My guess is that the Red Sox will go 8-2 in the
homestand or 9-1. Foulke will notch 4 or 5 saves, and the Sox will be up
2 or 3 games in the Wild Card at the end of the series on August 18th.
We have been waiting for a long winning streak all season by the Sox,
and this 10 game series with Tampa Bay (53-58), Chicago (55-53), and
Toronto (47-64) seems like the opportune time to finally do it. GO
SOX!!!!!

Shame on you Mr Softee.
WADE DOESN'T GET A SUNDAE ON SUNDAY:
True.
I am currently in my apt waiting to hear Mr. Softee's jingle.

I worked out today and could really go for a sundae on Sunday.
Yes, after my show in Brooklyn last night I hit my favorite Hoboken bar, and guess who was there...
COUSIN JOHN and guess what? He was not happy.
Cousin John is one of the greatest characters I have ever met. Never a smile. Never anything nice to say about anybody, but... somehow the guy makes me smile.
I played three songs on the jukebox to 'hopefully' cheer him up.
Johnny Cash - Fulsom Prison Blues
Roy Orbison - Running Scared
The Smiths - Girlfriend in a Comma
Now John is a real tough guy, I still don't understand why he 'loves' The Smiths of all bands, but he did enjoy the music.
COUSIN JOHN MEMORABLE QUOTE OF THE NIGHT:
(for no reason he said....)
"There's no 'I' in team, but there's 'ME' ... now stop nursing that beer and drink it like a man."
COUSIN JOHN HAS A GOOD HEART:
He did buy me a few beers and offered me some Whiskey shots (which I didn't have). Thanks CJ!
