Today we had the privilege of having Chef Anthony from Decatur’s very own Café Lily on with us to talk about the special Greek Party he is hosting tonight in honor of his late father Angelo Pitillo. Angelo died Thanksgiving Day 2007 and, even as an Italian, loved all things Greek!

All proceeds from tonight’s event will benefit the Hospice Atlanta Center who took tremendous care of Chef’s father and family during his last days. If you are unfamiliar with what hospice is then you are lucky….but if you have had to endure the experience of hospice then you know what an important role they play in the final chapter of your loved one’s life. I dealt with hospice twice. Once with my dad’s passing 8 years ago and, like Chef Anthony, last Thanksgiving when I lost my brother Pete. When Café Lily asked the Zakk Tyler Morning Show to talk about this event I jumped at the chance to raise money for these literal Angels on Earth. They are people who help you thru the death of a loved one and comfort the sick on a daily basis; they may help you one time but it never ends for them. They are constant care takers and the true meaning of good.

Café Lily is located at 308 West Ponce de Leon Ave, Decatur 404-371-9119. Doors open at 5:30p. Reservations are being accepted but there is also a large bar and patio area. Music starts at 7pm… So, grab some friends, dive into delicious Greek cuisine, celebrate the exciting Greek culture, and smash some plates while you are there…

Enjoy life more today!

OPA!

Here’s another local news station which covered the Bacon Eating Championship on July 2, 2008 in between Loren “Bubba” Yarbrough, Super Paul Big Mouth Barlow and Zakk “The Ayatollah of Cholesterolla” Tyler.

You can imagine just how hard this life begins at 40 because it’s the new 30 guy lives it up when he goes on a vacation. Flying and driving to lavishly exotic locations such as Gibsonia, PA, Greenville, SC and don’t forget the waterfront view I had of the Allegheny River while staying in Kennerdell, PA.

It’s just another way of making sure this guy doesn’t bother me when I’m away on trips.

The good news is that I dug deep into my celebrity Rolodex while on my break. Like the golfing day I had with these three superstars.

They’re my nephews and I helped them learn a few things about golf etiquette. For instance, the youngest one had to be taught that you don’t speak when another player is in the middle of their golf swing and the oldest one was told that you don’t kick your ball closer to hole when the scorekeeper isn’t watching.

On the 8th hole of the day I almost earned some “star power” of my own but missed a hole-in-one by this much.

On Thursday I got down in the upstate attending a Kevn Kinney show at a club called The Handlebar. Kevn even turned me on to a new drink called a Firefly. I recall him maybe sharing a great story behind how and why the drink was made but I don’t remember for sure. Now doesn’t that, alone, make a drink special?

Speaking of specials, did the Petro Station (Exit 160 off Interstate 85) change theirs?

I still hadn’t scored the $9.99 Rib-Eye before they went and switched cuts on me.

Denzil was witness to a maroon Hummer that, when unable to enter Colony Square in Midtown (home of the Dave FM studios), decided to back up over the car behind him in line! After reporting the incident on air, the police in Douglasville, GA found the driver and arrested him.

Here are pictures of the car that was run over.
