RESTAURANT THANKS

3 weeks, 3 shows. And I've already lost track of all the Restaurants I've told you about. That's what this blog is for, right? YESS! Let's start, by saying a huge THANKS to my favorite steak house on the planet, Gallaghers Steak House in Channel Side.
Not only did Executive Chef, Arthur Fuller, (pictured right below), join me on the Radio Show between 5 and 7pm
on News Talk 820, WWBA, to share his secrets of making the BEST STEAK ON THE PLANET! He also cooked,
and even SERVED some of the food!!!
I took my wife, my 12 year old, and my 21 year old daughter, to celebrate her moving out west to go to one of the best nursing colleges in America. Expensive? You bet. But, she's taking out a loan, working hard, and, because Gallaghers had a SPECIAL PRICE Promotion going on, I could afford to eat there, AND, still help her with college expenses.


Check out the Special Deals page for Gallaghers current, mind blowing special.
SURF AND TURF...LOBSTER AND FILET...FULL DINNERS...FOR ONE CRAZY LOW PRICE!!!
More, on why I want to thank them, down below.First though, thanks also, to Al
Wolff with Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza. Al graciously catered the show, with
4 AWESOME Pies, including, my favorite..PEPPERONI.




I'm also partial to the one to the below..NO SAUCE!! Just
Homemade Mozzarella, Fresh Sliced Tomatos, and Basil!! Cooked for about
4 minutes at 900 degrees in Anthony's Anthracite Coal Fired Ovens, well, what
can I say?How about WOW!!!!! Since Anthony's has no freezers, or fryers,
or microwaves, everything is not only Fresh!!! But, often, extremely healthy.
And, always, TASTY!!





If you missed the show, you also missed legendary film critic for the St. Pete Times, Steve Piersall (he assures me there is
a picture of him somewhere that I'll be able to post soon). Steve couldn't say enough good things about the new Sci Fi Flick
DISTRICT 9! He says it is already, one of his 10 best of the year! I saw it, based on his recommendation, and I will add this to
his glowing review. It has a completely fresh look, brilliant direction. But it is NOT a POPCORN THRILLER. No matter what you 12 year old may say to entice you to take him, I would say, DON'T GIVE IN. TONS AND TONS.. of "F-BOMBS". But,





that is not why I'd keep the kids away. The real reason
is, it's a THINKERS movie. It ALMOST comes across,
as a documentary. And, it's consistently, DARK, in tone, and story line. And don't bring the wife either, unless
she HATES CHICK FLICKS. Because this is the opposite of that. If you're wife is a "chick flick/romantic comedy" kind of gal,
then only take her with you to see DISTRICT 9, if you truly enjoy being b****ed at for 2 hours.
As Steve said, drop her off at THE TIME TRAVELERS WIFE, while you watch DISCTRICT 9, or, Jeremy Piven, in
THE GOODS. The added bonus, to that scenario, is, the wife may be extra nice to you afterwards, since,
in The Time Travelers Wife, star ERIC BANA, is buck naked quite often.



Finally, BIG THANKS, to long time friends, and co workers, Jo Jo Walker, and Dan Chappelow. I have known them both, since the early 1980's, when we all worked at a radio station together here in Tampa Bay. Jo Jo, is semi retired, making a good living as a professional Master of Ceremony's. He is also the man to call in Land O'Lakes, Pasco, and Polk County, for advertising informatation for this Web Site and Radio Show. Contact Jo Jo, through me, through my contact page, on this web site. Also with me in the NEWS TALK 820 WWBA Studio's Saturday Aug. 15, 2009, was Dan Chappelow. Dan is a professional comedian, and business associate. Dan handles some ad sales for this web site and show, in Pinellas and Hillsborough County. He is VERY FUNNY..and, with the on air help of the two of them for this show, I felt that there were many instances where the show sounded as good, if not better, than all other so called, wacky,"MORNING SHOWS" out there. And folks, pass it around. While we may spill a little food now and then, content wise, we "WORK CLEAN".
