“Many gamblers who read this will go, ‘Yeah, I know what he’s talking about.’ But I don’t regret it. It was a helluva summer.” — p 14 “Spears is much more than music. She’s an American popculture icon, who you just can’t take your eyes off. Just ask the shutterbugs, who make their living off of Spears.” — p 55

Meerwald Sails into Gardner’s Basin

The A.j. Meerwald, New jersey’s official “tall ship” originally built in 1928 as an oyster-harvesting schooner, arrived at Historic Gardner’s Basin (800 N. New Hampshire Ave. in A.C.) on Monday, july 25, to start a five-day visit. To commemorate the event, Gardner’s Basin created a “transportation challenge” in which residents are eligible to win dining and merchandise gift cards. The challenge mandates that subjects take the train, jitney, bus and/or taxi to visit the Meerwald through Sunday, july 31, and receiving a free entry into a prize raffle set to take place july 31 in Gardner’s Basin. “The challenge came out of some conversations with visitors who had taken the train down from Cherry Hill to visit the Atlantic City Aquarium,” says jack Keith, executive director of the Atlantic City Historical Waterfront Foundation. “Because environmentalism is our mission, we wanted to promote the fact that it’s easy to get to Historic Gardner’s Basin using public transportation. We also wanted to reward the visitors who do so.” The cost for riding on the Meerwald during its public sail vary with the time of day. Generally afternoon sails are $30 for adults, $25 for seniors, and $15 for children 12 and under. Evenings are generally $45 for adults, $40 for seniors, and $22 for children. There is no fee for children ages 3 and under. For more information, call 856-7852060 or go to ajmeerwald.com. — Nate Mulberg

On Gillian Welch’s fourth album for her Acony record label (her fifth album overall, dating back to 1996’s gorgeous Revival), the Manhataan native, with her partner David Rawlings, has struck pure gold. Welch, who hasn’t released a new album in eight years, has spent her career writing and performing songs from what music writer Greil Marcus, in reference to Bob Dylan and the Band’s legendary Basement Tapes sessions, dubbed “that old, weird America” — early country, bluegrass, folk, blues and Appalachian Mountain tunes. And although the American folk revival that kept Welch and Rawlings touring and recording through the ’00s has abated, the 10 new Welch-Rawlings songs on The Harrow & The Harvest sound as good as just about any old Carter Family tune, but with a darker Gothic Americana twist. The pair plays, co-produces and sings on every track of this superbly sparse album, which many are calling the best of the Welch-Rawlings bunch. — Jeff Schwachter

Cole Bros. Circus Returns to Town(s)

Crimson and gold canopies raise up towards the sky as the staff of the Cole Bros. Circus craft the three-ring big top at the crack of dawn. Ringleader Chris Connors, along with his circus family, is hauling the three-ring tent to Atlantic City, Seaville, and Rio Grande this August. The Cole Bros. Circus of the Stars has been entertaining crowds for 127 years and is regarded as the world’s largest circus underneath the big top. Svetlana Gololobova performs the seemingly impossible “one finger” vertical balance at the show. joining her, josé Bermudez — the Human Cannonball — flies out of the world’s largest cannon. A trio of motorcyclists takes on the “Thunderdrome,” maneuvering through the metal globe by relying on the principle of inertia. Aside from the human beings that perform, lions, tigers, and bears (oh my!) can be witnessed under the vinyl and steel tent. Isabel and Rafael Abuhadba present their colorful cartoon poodles to circus audiences. laura Herriot presents and trains horses, camels, elephants and more. And of course, a circus would not be complete unless there were clowns. The Bermudez family clowns waddle throughout the tent with their oversized footwear and fire-engine red noses, providing the show with great comedy. Other acts include the flying trapeze, aerial ballet, hand balancing, and motorcycle stunts. The Cole Bros. Circus will be coming to the Atlantic City Race Course in Mays landing from Aug, 3-5; to 2065 Rt. 9 (mile marker 24) just north of Cedar Square in Seaville on Aug. 8-9; and the Robert “Ockie” Wisting Recreation Complex in Rio Grande on Aug. 10-11 with shows at 4:30pm and 7:30pm each day in all three locations. — Cori Rosen

trement: sliced cherry tomatoes, cubed red potatoes, pitted black olives, green beans and a halved, hard-boiled egg. arranged atop a bed of lime green butter lettuce, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s soft, round leaves provided natural cups for the vibrant elements. Centered on the wide plate, five chunky squares of ahi tuna, barely seared and properly cooled, performed their leading role admirably. my dining partners mix of shredded radicchio and cabbage, plus whole leaves of spinach, was accompanied by a ring of sweet mandarin oranges at the plateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s edge. Crunchy rice paper, strewn throughout, as well as a tangy, ginger-infused dressing made this item as memorable as it was generously portioned. a few more facts you should know about harryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. First of all, the atmosphere is wonderfully Jersey shore casual. Oyster crackers served in metal tubs with horseradish. Bar mops replace napkins â&#x20AC;&#x201D; pure bloody genius. But make no mistake about it: this is no self-conscious homage, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the real deal. second, harryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s is a fun, boisterous, sometimes loud environment. Ideally suited for families, even those with very The grand opening earlier this month small children. this all makes sense from a strategic pointof-view. this place nicely fills a void that the Doughertyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s other restaurants, each a bit more formal in style, do not. third, about the menu; patrons here select from classic seafood fare, lighter stuff like fried calamari, wings and shrimp, various clams and nachos (psst, try â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;em loaded with pulled pork) plus seven salads, 10 sandwiches and of course, that sprawling raw bar. If you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t find something you like here, we feel sorry for you. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Food writer 101â&#x20AC;? says that whenever presented with the opportunity, order the house signature entree. On this occasion, it was a real no-brainer. harryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s clam bake promises clams, scallops, mussels, a one-pound lobster, corn on the cob, red bliss potatoes and chorizo. We requested and received this monster kettle oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; seafood sans the mussels. In a lovely gesture of accommodation, the kitchen clearly increased the clam content to compensate. nice touch, chef. all those disparate ingredients remained firm and juicy, despite their widely divergent cooking times. this is the kind of dish that can become a nightmare in the wrong hands. add scallops too early and they will turn into mushy slop. Clams, conversely, become hardened little discs and inedible. no such problems here, and we havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even mentioned what is perhaps the dishâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s finest quality. all those lovely ingredients lounged in a mildly spicy tomato-based broth, made rich and deep with flavor from what Cajuns call â&#x20AC;&#x153;trinityâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; diced onions, celery and peppers. Finishing our meal, my companion couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t resist the carrot cake, highly touted by our server. her advice proved solid â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the seven-layered creation was more an event than mere dessert. n

that would be the latest enterprise from the renowned Dougherty family, harryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Oyster Bar and seafood at Ballyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hotel Casino, situated in a ground-level space previously utilized for that facilityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s buffet. harryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s has quickly carved out a niche for itself in an intensely competitive marketplace. Which makes sense considering the planning and thought â&#x20AC;&#x201D; 18 months worth according to coowner maureen shay â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which atlantic Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first family of restauranteurs put into creating their latest venture. having spent more than 100 years as the only operators atlantic avenueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Dockâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Oyster house has ever known plus almost 10 rehabbing and reenergizing the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s landmark restaurant, the Knife & Fork Inn, the Doughertyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s clearly know a little bit about what theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing. at harryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, it really shows. this starts with the space itself, wide, wood-toned and facing the Dennis Courtyard, one of atlantic Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most beautiful pieces of open real estate. It continues with a jawdropping central raw bar. Piled high with ice, this cool conglomeration of oysters, clams, shrimp and lobster was a welcome respite from the nearly triple-digit heat gripping our region on the night we supped. Our meal began respectfully, with a half dozen bivalves, selected by their knowledgeable shuckers. they failed to disappoint, delivering two malpeques from Prince edward Island along with two Wiannos from massachusetts and a pair of Chesepeakes from maryland. each variety was slightly different, some long and flat, others small and deep. their common denominators were incredible freshness combined with flawless removal technique on the part of raw bar personnel. ever taken the time to watch a real pro shucker ply their trade?

Our other starter, pulled pork sliders, wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be something youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d expect at a place with the name â&#x20AC;&#x153;Oyster Barâ&#x20AC;? in its title. But thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s part of the charm here, scads of variety. these juicy delights more closely resembled small pulled pork sandwiches rather than two-bite sliders. topped with crispy fried onions, the piled-high pig was clearly the product of long, loving slow cookery. this produced meat truly fall-apart tender and loaded with plenty of sweet and smoky nuances. next up we sampled a pair of salads: timeless nicoise and an asian-themed honey soy. the former brought traditional accou-

t may be a Hold’em world, but atlantic City poker rooms have always been willing to offer up some of poker’s more traditional games. From stud games at the taj mahal to omaha games around the city, there are alternatives to the constant thump of Hold’em flops. but one game that has never been part of the atlantic City scene is razz, that weird little lowball game that most players have a love/hate relationship with. razz is a seven-card lowball game that is dealt essentially like seven card stud. but in razz, straights and flushes don’t count. So the wheel — ace, two, three, four, five — is the best hand regardless of suit. the game has never been approved in atlantic City rooms, but may finally be breaking in thanks to the borgata. razz is currently being tested this summer at the casino and has been offered at the borgata since the spring. the casino can offer the game on two tables daily during the testing and often has cash games going during the day. but one of the main reasons the casino has introduced the game is to also be able to offer the popular H.o.r.S.e variant of poker, especially in its seasonal opens. In H.o.r.S.e, rounds of different games are offered. though there are also other variations, the basic H.o.r.S.e. lineup is Hold’em, omaha eight or better, razz, seven card stud and seven card stud eight or better. eight or better signifies hi-low games, while razz is strictly a low game. at major borgata tournaments, the casino has always had to offer H.o.S.e. tournaments, which along with seeming incomplete, has a much less fortunate acronym (“I got hosed in atlantic City”). testing should go on for at least another month, but it’s likely that razz will be approved by the state in time for the borgata open in September. borgata officials say they brought in the game in response to customer requests, but in so doing they are opening the door for all city casinos, which can also offer the game during the testing period. It is odd that the city, which has always stayed true to stud players, has been without the game for so long. yes, it’s a Hold’emdominated world, but there is nothing wrong with options. and since we are on the borgata again, which is the only city room currently running special tournament promotions, the casino has scheduled another of its $100,000 guaranteed Saturday Series events for aug. 6.

12 2 1

Like us:

facebook.com/ACWeekly

the $350 + $50 No limit game starts players with 15K in chips. the one-day event begins at 11am. the next day, Sunday, aug. 7, the borgata has scheduled a four day $300,000 guaranteed deepstack double Play tournament. the tournament is even richer than the casino’s July double Play event with a $1,500 + $150 buy-in. there are two qualifiers for the event: a $165 + $25 No limit game Sunday, July 31, at 4pm and two $330 + $50 No limit games on Saturday, aug. 6 (4pm), and Sunday, aug. 7 (also 4pm), respectively. like all double Play tournaments, Sunday is day 1a and monday is day 1b. anyone who busts out on day 1a can re-buy on day 1b. the tournament is also noticeable for its deepstack component, which gives players 30K in starting chips and long levels of 60 minutes on the two day 1s and 75 minutes starting day 2. Finally, when it comes to the world Series of Poker, never underestimate the ability of poker pundits to quickly cover their mistakes. many poker experts predicted the wSoP’s main event this year would see a major fall off in attendance after the federal government cracked down on online poker earlier this year. the reasoning was that too many online players still had their bankrolls tied up and that there would be no online satellites to pump up the field. this, of course, was completely wrong as the main event drew 6,865 players, the third largest field ever. So what are the pundits saying now? well, that this was the wSoP’s last hurrah and next year is going to be really bad. according to a report on CNN, many poker experts feel that online players, now disaffected with the game, decided to give the wSoP one last shot. Several also feel that the online situation cast a pall over the wSoP. more importantly, online players who lost at the live events didn’t have the online option to rebuild their bankrolls. So poker is still doomed, despite the wSoP’s resounding success. all we can say is we’ll see. a lot can happen in a year, including Congress making online poker legal in the U.S. of course, that means Congress has to actually do something other than argue, which the way things are right now, seems like a long shot.

The Diceman Cometh Back (Again) A By David J. Spatz

ndrew “dice” clAy wAs list, and he’s remained there ever since. But at least Travolta was working prior to clearly getting very annoyed.

Last year, completely by accident, Clay bumped into an old friend, writer Bruce rubenstein, at Starbucks. They hadn’t seen one another in nearly 15 years, and all the guy wanted to do was mess around with his smart phone. “He’s playing with his [expletive] phone like he’s some big shot waiting for a call from the governor,” Clay recalls. But Clay’s annoyance quickly turned to amazement when Rubenstein finally looked up from his phone and gave the shock comic a little taste of his own medicine. While they were talking over coffee and playing catchup, Rubenstein had been exchanging e-mails with doug ellin, the creator and executive producer of the HBO series Entourage. Turns out that Ellin was a big fan of Clay and wanted to meet him the next day to discuss a possible appearance on Entourage, which is now in its final season on the cable channel. Clay didn’t exactly have to move anything on his schedule to squeeze in the meeting. Down on his luck, darned near broke and with little in the way of career prospects, the comic had pretty much fallen so far off the radar he couldn’t have gotten arrested if he’d tried. Clay walked away from the meeting with Ellin thinking he’d get a walk-on cameo spot on the show. He really wasn’t in a position to say no to anything. “What the hell? Lots of comics have done that,” Clay figured. But Ellin was thinking of more than a oneshot deal for the comedian. He was going to create a recurring role for Clay in a cartoon that will appear within the series, although Clay won’t say whether audiences will actually see him in the show. The comic, who headlines the Tropicana Showroom on Saturday, July 30, is hoping his work on Entourage will be the springboard for yet another comeback in a career that’s had more ups and downs than the Cyclone rollercoaster at Coney Island in his native Brooklyn, where he was born Andrew clay silverstein 53 years ago. “I look at [Ellin] as my Quentin Tarrantino,” Clay tells Atlantic City Weekly as he pulls onto the shoulder of a Los Angeles freeway to chat about his life. “I hope he can do for me what [Tarrantino] did for John Travolta when he put him in [the movie] Pulp Fiction.” Travolta’s career was barely simmering when he was cast in Tarrantino’s now-classic film. The movie catapulted Travolta onto the A-plus Like us:

Pulp Fiction. Clay can’t say the same thing. Several years ago, after going through a nasty divorce that drained him emotionally and financially, he’d been working a regular gig at a small comedy club in Las Vegas. Unable to make ends meet financially, he began gambling hoping he’d have better luck at the tables than he did as a comedian. He got on a winning streak and made enough money to buy cars, pay off some old bills and live the good life of a high-roller. But Clay, who had sworn off gambling a decade before, knew the risks. He knew his winning streak would eventually end, and, sure enough, it did. “You keep going and think [the winning] will never end, and then you fall into the trap,” he says. “Many gamblers who read this will go, ‘Yeah, I know what he’s talking about.’ But I don’t regret it. It was a helluva summer.” That’s when he returned to Los Angeles to try and figure out what he was going to do for the rest of his life. And that’s when he bumped into Rubenstein, who could empathize with his old friend. Rubenstein’s credits include co-writing the movie Bullet, which starred Mickey rourke and the late rapper Tupac shakur. But he also has had to supplement his income with jobs away from the entertainment industry, and he’s been dabbling in home remodeling projects while shopping around scripts. “He was wearing muddy work boots when I met him [at Starbucks] because he was digging a trench at one of his jobs,” Clay says. “Now, he’s my manager. This business works in crazy ways.” The Tropicana gig is basically a one-off, but Clay — who once headlined arenas with his shocking comedy act that had everything from X-rated nursery rhymes to profanity-laced insult humor — is going back to the big venues. He said he’ll headline Cyclone Stadium, a minor league baseball park, on Oct. 1 as the kickoff to his first real comedy tour in years. “Even though I haven’t been in the public eye, it’s not like I haven’t been working on my act,” he adds. “I’ve always sort of prepared for a resurgence.” n

Got Feathers? By Whitney Ullman

ho would’ve thought that putting colorful feather strands in your hair would be the latest and greatest hairstyle trend? let’s face it, we ladies have all kinds of accessories that range from barrettes to bump-its! But now you can go to a local salon and have this fashion trend sealed into your hair in a matter of minutes. I have to admit at first I thought this was sort of tacky and only for teenagers, but the more I saw it the more I started to like it. especially the permanency of it all — they can stay in for up to two months in some circumstances, which to me is great because it’s a low maintenance product that gives you personality without hassle. the best part is they can be washed, straightened, blowdried and curled along with your real hair. hair Culture in galloway township is one location in the region now doing feather extensions. they gave me the feather treatment (making my hair look fabulous) before I hosted the tun tavern’s 10th annual golf tournament & Bikini contest last week. which may I add, was an excellent turnout all for a great cause to benefit a uS Marine and Community Quest. Alison did a wonderful job with my feather extensions. Make sure to see her, the lovely staff and beautiful salon layout. For more information check out haircultureonline.com. My girlfriend Jackie told me that her salon, divine Images, in ocean City at the Flanders hotel, also does the extensions and my trusty and trendy go-to salon, Art Is, in Brigantine, offers feather extensions as well. Prices range at these salons from $10 per feather to $50 for a six-feather bunch. Check them out the next time you’re at the salon and figure out what’s right for you — if any at all. And if that’s not enough, wait until you start hearing about and seeing the newest hair trend — “hair tinsel.” I’m attracted to anything that’s shiny, yes, but this is another hair product that will be hot real soon. hair Culture in galloway has already started on the trend. According to people I’ve spoken with on this topic, the consensus is that the majority of people who see it or have it love it. Atlantic City’s Shannon lynch McAllister loves them. She just had feathers added to her hair along with a hot pink strip for her wedding. “It’s like hair jewelry, it’s funky,” she says. Amy Sykes, of Somers Point, goes a little further to say not only is it funky (in a good way), but it’s possibly “a little addicting.” on the other hand, April Christine

Kauffman, of linwood, wasn’t very impressed, stating plainly: “It’s tacky.” ocean City’s Natalie Kraft gave an explanation saying that it’s cute, but over-priced, “especially on the Boardwalk.” which brings me back to checking out the salons I mentioned above. Between galloway, Brigantine, and ocean City you’re bound to find a place near you with decent rates. tom’s River’s Nancy Adler says it reminds her of the infamous Sex and the City episode when Big left Carrie at the alter. She had feathers in her hair, and Nancy believes only Carrie could pull that off. then there’s laura Madsen, of Bargaintown, who thinks girls with straight hair can pull the feathers off better than those with curls. I say no matter what your hair style, even if you get one feather strand, you should try it out and take the plunge if you’re up for it. It’s fun, flirty and trendy.

Sign? ‘Rats in My Room.’ By Jerry Blavat

reetings and salutations. and as hot as the weather has been, that’s how hot it is at Memories. as soon as we open up our doors on Friday night at 8, it jams. People from all over the country are experiencing the magic. and it’s all live every weekend on Kool 98.3. last weekend, no exception, not only at Memories, but when we did our thing at linwood Country Club on saturday. it was like a Memories reunion — Kate & sam sidewater, Jeff orleans and Kim delaney, my pal dick dilsheimer and his lovely Barbara, david Farber and his lovely alexandra, along with sinatra’s favorite guy Merrill Kelem. the highlight of the evening was when my buddy, one of the top attorneys in the country, eddie Jacobs, took to the dance floor with his lovely linda. add another star to his portfolio, dancer extraordinaire. it was great to see my old friend Paul gross, and his lovely wife anita. the party continued later that night at Memories. and a couple of surprise visits – former governor Mark schweiker at la Costa on sunday, and at Memories the previous week, my old friend lewis Katz, who brought along the new Ceo of atlantic records, Craig Kallman. this young man, in the little bit that we spoke, impressed me as very sharp and bright and just the young blood the legendary label needs to reach the younger generation. atlantic’s roster of stars going back to the 1940s, ’50s, and ’60s — ruth Brown, ray Charles, Bobby darin, the drifters, otis, aretha, and more — are the true legends. But you can listen to the geator on WXPn saturdays from 6-7pm when i feature these wonderful artists who created rock ‘n’ roll. and it’s official: You Only Rock Once is now available everywhere. this sunday, July 31, at 9:30am, watch as i talk to my buddy larry Kane on his Voices of Reason show on Cn8 tV. then on Monday, aug. 1, the first book signing of many will take place at the Philadelphia Free library on Vine street at 7:30pm. i’ll be interviewed by music critic tom Moon. it’s going to be an extraordinary month. now, let’s ask the geator On Facebook someone posted “American Bandstand Dancers Star on Hollywood Walk of Fame.” Why isn’t this program in Philadelphia?

Today you played a great song I never heard before. You said it was Mel & Tim? I wrote down some of the words: “If you want my love forever, baby I want yours too / As long as we are both together there’s nothing we can’t do / We’ll be together forever and ever.” I hope you recognize the song. Thanks a million. — Lisa, via e-mail that’s “Forever and a day,” by the same guys who had the 1969 hit “Backfield in Motion.” Mel Hardin and tim McPherson were cousins from Mississippi who were discovered by gene Chandler and signed to his label, Bamboo, then moved to the stax label and had another hit with “starting all over again” in 1972. another good group that unfortunately did not last past the ’70s. Still have your 45 single “Rats in My Room.” Would you sign it? — Brian Allen, via Facebook

it wasn’t my single, but it would be my pleasure to sign something as rare as that. if you like, meet me at Memories or any one of my gigs or book signings — schedule online at geator.net — and i’ll sign your 45. n

From what i’m told, it’s not a program, it’s just a group of folks who are campaigning to have the original dancers on dick Clark’s national tV show get a star on the Walk of Fame. the obvious reason it isn’t in Philly is because the Hollywood Walk of Fame is in . . . Hollywood. But i agree that they deserve a star on the Walk of Fame, and on the Broad street Walk of Fame in Philly as well.

According to the city, “The contest is sanctioned by NASCRAB, the National Association of Crab Activities at the Beach, an Ocean City Organization.

OK, that does qualify as silly. The pageant is part of a day’s worth of But the event has certainly brought its fair

The world record time of 3.6 seconds was set by Hermie 30 years ago. Hermie has long since departed to that Great Hermit Tree Crab Sandbar in the Sky, but his record remains as an inspiration to all con-

testants. A bugler from the Ocean City Pops Orchestra sounds the call to the starting gate for every heat. A cake dish cover serves as the starting gate and all heats are timed.” The event is also preceded by a sand sculpting contest at 9am also at 6th Street and the beach.

Registration for the pageant starts at noon and for the crab races at 1pm. Entry is free. For information, call 5259300. During the summer months, Ocean City holds a number of weekly events, from farm markets at the Tabernacle grounds Wednesday mornings to Mummers Night on the boards every Tuesday evening. But on Thursday’s through August, the city’s bed and breakfast owners have come together to give guests a great look around at the city’s picturesque inns and historical sites. And you get to see it all in a trolley. The Inn to Inn and Historic Tours are presented by the Ocean City Regional Chamber of Commerce and the Bed and Breakfast Innkeepers of Ocean City. The tour starts at the city’s 7th Street and Central Avenue parking lot and run from 2-4pm. Tickets are $13. Some of the sites include three of the k’s city’s historic inns, wee s i h the Ocean City See t ts @ ven Lifesaving Station OC e and a sightseeing tour of the City’s historic district. n

Playing the Bounty at Borgata

The Borgata’s Monday morning $20-bounty tournament puts a new twist on A.C. poker.

s hoto See p tory @ s this from

By Michael Pritchard

t’s not too difficult to figure

out why the Borgata rules the Atlantic city poker scene when you stagger into the casino’s poker room groggy on a Monday morning looking for some tournament action. there waiting for you are about 150 players ready to take you on. Yeah, many are groggy too, and there’s lots of talk about lack of sleep and wild Atlantic city weekends, but in the end, they are all ready to skip lunch today and compete for an about $18,500 prize pool. the Borgata’s Monday morning tournament is a $100 + $20 + $20 no limit tournament. that extra $20 is part of the casino’s new-fangled “bounty” system in which every player has a bounty on them. each player buys and then places a real $20 casino chip in front of their tournament chips (which have no value outside of the tournament). When a player is sent to the rail, the player who sent them there wins the cash chip and pockets it, regardless of what happens the rest of the tournament. it’s a pretty cool twist on the classic bounty scheme (where only one player is classified as the bounty), and judging from the turnout, it’s catching on. it’s into this atmosphere that i walked this Monday as a guest of the casino to check out and play the bounty tournament. i brought with me high hopes and also my usual denial about my disturbing tendency to go off tilt when the antes and blinds get high and start cutting into my stacks. Hey, there’s a reason i make a living as a writer, not a poker player. the Borgata’s poker room is expansive and comfortable and well staffed by waitresses shuttling a lot of coffee and caffeinated sodas around. it is 11am, after all. And you do instantly notice those yellow $20 chips in front of everyone’s stacks. only 18 players get paid in a tournament like this, so those chips give every player a chance to get back

Obviously, it’s no ie be quickly identify the typical looking young gun with a hood eo .’ me, but a rather ster id 85 degrees outside) and sunglasses ig (because it’s like a fr at least some of their total $140 entry. i draw table 11 and sit down to a $12K chip stack. i rather quickly identify the best player at the table. obviously, it’s not me, but a rather stereotypical looking young gun with a hoodie (because it’s like a frigid 85 degrees outside) and sunglasses. Making matters worse, he’s seated immediately to my left, meaning i’ll be out of position to him on every hand except when i’m on the button. i very quickly learn to hate him. When cards are in the air it becomes clear that the level of competition is pretty high and most players at the table know what

they are doing. if there’s any easy money at the table, it’s probably me. Hoodie Boy is aggressive right from the get go, probably over-betting for the early rounds. But it’s working and he’s pushing people around and taking chips. i should note that this tournament has rebuys until the sixth round and a lot of players busting out early are taking advantage. empty seats fill up fast, even before table consolidation starts. somewhere in level three i get hot and even back off Hoodie Boy on a couple of hands. My tight play early seems to have made an impression and people don’t put

me on bluffs. i win about five hands without ever showing my cards. unfortunately, that’s going to bite me in the ass and sooner or later someone will call me. i should note that the bounty angle is ever present. Players are keenly aware of who is short stacked, and much of the betting is designed to get people to go all in, as opposed to just trying for value bets. i watch three or four yellow chips get pocketed (Hoodie Boy gets a couple more), but the poker gods just never give me a hand at the right spot. Watching players pocket those yellow chips just reinforces that while a gimmick, it’s a good gimmick. eventually my self-destructive tendencies get the better of me near the end of level six. the blinds and antes are chewing up stacks and it’s only going to get worse in level seven. so i make a move with a pair of jacks, hoping that people will think i have a set. they don’t and i bet all-in right into Hoodie Boy’s pocket aces. i hate him. like i said, i’m easy money, but i did manage to stay in for two hours without a re-buy. Most of these daily morning tournaments at the Borgata last five to six hours. this past Monday’s tournament finished with 186 entries and a prize pool of $18,600 (the casino takes a three-percent vig for dealer tips). the winner took home $5,410 and 18 players, or about the final two tables, got paid ($271 for 16-18). it’s highly likely that those 18 players had a pocketful of yellow chips. Me? i got nothing but a lesson. Patience is the key to any tournament. i’ve got to hurry up and get some. The Borgata offers two bounty tournaments each week, a yellow chip ($20) 11am Monday and a green chip ($25) 6pm Friday. n

Atlantic City Food & Wine Festival Guide Join Food Network stars for Atlantic City’s fabulous foodie feast-a-thon July 28-31 By Lori Hoffman (Visit acweekly.com for our July 21 cover story on this year’s festival)

rom a modest twoday food and wine event

Like us:

The big superstar events like Guy Fieri’s Cheesesteak Battle will be packed, and the lines to get food are really long. To keep your sanity, mix in a few of the more low-key events like the Viking Cooking School demonstrations, the Chefs on Stage and the wine events at Mia’s along with the big room events. The Market Place and Italian Village, which is basically a festival within the festival, features tons of food and beverage options. Since it takes place four times over the weekend, the lines aren’t as long. Getting around: If you group your events wisely, you can walk to and from events. This is especially true if you attend events at Caesars and Bally’s, which are next to each other. The Showboat is a brisk walk on the ‘boards from Caesars/Bally’s or take advantage of the world famous rolling chairs for your Boardwalk transportation (rides start at $5). The Jitneys on Pacific Ave. run 24/7 and get you everywhere in town, including the events at Harrah’s in the Marina section (cost $2.25). Of course, there are plenty of cabs available at all the casinos. Parking: at the casinos will be $20 (less if you have a players card from that casino). If you can find a parking space in lower Chelsea (south of the monument at Albany Ave.), you can park on the street and take a Jitney. n

2011 Atlantic City Food & Wine Festival Events

ATLANTIC CITY WEEKLY • JULY 28, 2011

in 2007 known as the “Toast of the Coast,” the Food Network 2011 Atlantic City Food and Wine Festival has grown into a monster culinary event that will dominate the landscape at the four Caesars Entertainment properties in town — Harrah’s Resort, Bally’s, House of Blues/Showboat and Caesars July 28-31. Caesars Entertainment and the Food Network, in cooperation with the Atlantic City Convention & Visitors Authority, host the event July 28–31. It can be overwhelming, with all the event choices and the bevy of superstar chefs who will be front and center at the various foodie functions including the Food Network’s Guy Fieri, Robert Irvine, Pat and Gina Neely, Sunny Anderson, plus other culinary stars such as beer expert Gary Moterosso, wine expert Michael Green, Divya Gugnani (author of Sexy Women Eat) and various Cooking Channel personalities. Chef Robert Irvine (Dinner Impossible, Restaurant Impossible), who spent eight years as a chef at Resorts, Caesars and Taj Mahal and still owns a home in Absecon, talked about his participation in this year’s Festival. “I’ll be creating and cooking a meal [the Restaurant Invasion event] and big George [his Dinner Impossible sous chef George Galati] will be joining me,” says Irvine. “It’s going to be a fun night. A lot of places do dinners and they’re boring, you come in and eat. I can guarantee this won’t be a boring dinner.” He also noted that, “Atlantic City, with the introduction of Borgata, made [the casino industry] think, ‘We’ve got to get our act together.’ The culinary scene is great in Atlantic City with great restaurants, and it will only continue to get better, with the new casino that comes in, Revel. Atlantic City is stacking up great against major food towns, but again, that scene evolves so fast, they’re got to keep up with it.” (Go to acweekly.com for our full interview with Robert Irvine.)

While the Food Network stars dominate the spotlight at the Festival, the real workhorses are the army of chefs from the Caesars Entertainment properties that do most of the cooking behind the scenes. The chefs who keep the properties’ dining options humming all year ’round are on double duty for the Food and Wine Fest, keeping the properties’ restaurants serving up topflight meals while providing the food for numerous Festival events, including the signature Grand Market at Bally’s. The Grand Market is a tasting village, showcasing more than 125 stations featuring food, wine, spirits and more from the top local restaurants. n

Authentic Italian Cuisine in Brigantine

Also drawing rave reviews are the Linguine del Mare (fresh clams, scallops, crab meat and shrimp in a light white wine sauce), the Pollo Ortoiano (sautéed chicken breast with eggplant, zucchini, fresh tomatoes and mozzarella in a brandy sauce), the Bistecca Nero and Azurro (a grilled 18-ounce Angus beef steak with Gogonzola cheese) and others. L’Aragosta is open for lunch and dinner from 11am to 10pm Sunday through Thursday, and until 11pm Friday and Saturday. There is no liquor license, but diners are welcome to BYOB.

Britney Spears’ big summer tour hits Atlantic City Aug. 6

By Ed Condran

ritney Spears has proven Minaj, swings into Atlantic City.

Like us:

Opening Act: Nicki Minaj

Myspace might seem so yesterday but Nicki Minaj has it to thank for her discovery. The bawdy rapper, who will open for Britney Spears in Atlantic City, is a performer who is upfront about her obvious assets. Minaj is one of the most sensual and sexual recording artists on the scene. She’s not all package. Minaj is a swaggering, slick hip-hop player, who delivers celebratory and stylish songs. Her latest album, Pink Friday, is a glossy, provocative work. Cuts such as “I’m The Best” “Check It Out” and “Blazin’” are brassy and street smart. Minaj is undeniably hot right now — but not on the scale of Spears, who remains poster-girl material after all these years.

Darling Nicki It’ll be interesting when Minaj and Spears literally share the stage for the Spears number “Till The End of the World.” The word is that the tandem has a genuine affection for each other. We’ll see what kind of chemistry they have when they’re under the lights at Boardwalk Hall. Odds are that when they bounce on stage together that the temperature in the historic hall will rise. As if we need any more heat this blistering summer. Minaj possesses plenty of charisma and has a great deal of potential. It’ll be interesting to see what’s next for such an intriguing talent. Minaj says she has been influenced by Marilyn Monroe and Madonna (what female artist born after 1980 hasn’t been impacted by the two Ms?) as well as artists such as Natasha Bedingfield, the late Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes, Grace Jones and Foxy Brown. No wonder there are so many different elements going on in a Minaj performance. The native of Trinidad is an exotic delight, who surprisingly isn’t doing many interviews. The opener’s already acting like a major star offstage, which perhaps explains what she’s like once she performs in front of a crowd. — EC

another entertainer of the moment can move in. Spears, who has become a larger-than-life personality, always titillate us. Sex sells and Spears knows that better than most. Her alluring cat suits have drawn quite a few males to her concerts. Spears is much more than music. She’s an American pop-culture icon, who you just can’t take your eyes off. Just ask the shutterbugs, who make their living off of Spears. During any given episode of TMZ, you can likely see how Spears can lose her mind while being trailed by such parasites. There were about 24 photographers ambushing Spears as she was leaving a supermarket parking space one time. Crazy stuff, yes, but that’s what you get when you’re such a world-wide super star, who just won’t go away. The public, meanwhile, won’t let Spears disappear, thus causing the paparazzi to follow the singer. We’ll see how many photogs are hounding her in Atlantic City, but either way Spears fans will surely dig the sounds and sights — with plenty of eye candy throughout — of her current show. Spears tears it up while performing in scantily clad outfits, dancing in cages, flying through the air in a giant swing. There is no expense spared during Spears’ concerts. She’s a throwback in that sense, to Madonna’s glory days and even further back. Spears is all about connecting with the audience and entertaining throughout the show. There are no precious moments at Spears performances, which is a good thing since fans are inundated with them at most other concerts. It’s not that Spears is an original, but she has appropriated some of the best elements from her heroines Madonna and Janet Jackson. Her albums might not make a massive critical impact — although that has changed in recent years, especially with Blackout — but the girl knows how to have fun and engage and that’s worth something. Spears’ life on and off stage is a spectacle indeed, but she is surviving her celebrity in this intrusive Internet age and continues to sell out arenas across the globe. She’s also selling albums in an era when few other recording artists are releasing product. We also know that Spears will be back with a new record before we know it. She’s a hard worker and following her nadir in 2007, she released an album that same year and another one in 2008. Brit’s hard to stop. K-Fed, rehab and critics couldn’t stop Spears. She’ll be around for a while. Get used to it if you haven’t already made that adjustment. n

In October 2007, she made her return with the aptly titled Blackout, which sold more than three million copies, an impressive feat for an album in the age of digital downloads. Spears hit some speed bumps though. Her performance at the 2007 MTV Music Awards was panned. Spears delivered the single, “Gimme More” and she became every late-night chat-show host’s punching bag. But Brit showed true grit. She kept at it and a few years later is still relevant. According to the June 2010 issue of Forbes, Spears ranked sixth on the list of the 100 most powerful and influential celebrities in the world. She is also the third most mentioned celebrity on the Internet, according to Forbes. Not bad for a teen celebrity, who appeared to lose it as an adult, eh? She also made it out of rehab, which the late Amy Winehouse, unfortunately, Spears plays Boardwalk Hall can’t say. Spears, now 30, has a curious appeal.

The Decemberists Shifting Sands

Oregon-based band has hit the big time, with a highly anticipated A.C. debut at the Borgata July 29.

The Decemberists

Where: The Borgata, A.C. When: Fri. July 29, 8pm How Much: $39.50

By Tamara deMent

f you had asked Chris Funk

back in 2005 if he thought his band the Decemberists would join the ranks of mainstream music, he probably would have looked at you sideways and inquired about your medicinal regimen. At the time, the Oregon-based music group led by songwriter Colin Meloy had just put out their third studio album entitled Picaresque on Kill Rock Stars, a small indie label, and were just getting used to their first round of monetary success. During that period, says Funk, the group’s guitarist/multi-instrumentalist, “[bands] like us didn’t sell out stadiums.” Now, however, that is no longer the case. The group’s trajectory of success has risen slowly but steadily upward in the last six years. Despite having unconventional instrumentation and producing songs that are often inspired by obscure folk tales, the Decemberists’ audience has grown from the modesties of an indie following, to widespread, national acclaim. In 2005 the band signed to major label Capitol Records and released The Crane Wife, which was voted as best album of 2006 by NPR listeners. This was followed by the groups’ epic masterpiece, Hazards of Love, released in 2009. On Friday, July 29, the Decemberists will grace the Borgata in Atlantic City and play tunes from their latest studio album The King is Dead, which topped the Billboard 200 upon its release in January. Funk recently called Atlantic City Weekly from Portland to chat about the groups’ demanding 2011 tour.

you let them be born. I think Colin [usually has a] strong idea of what he wants for a song. But once you start putting it up on the canvas, so to speak, it starts to shift. So, we just kind of go fishing for stuff, I guess you could say. You’re playing mostly pedal steel and bouzouki on the album. And I know you play a lot of different instruments. How did you decide which

it’s [not like] a decision on the spot. ... It’s a group effort. It’s not a record just made by one person. How exactly it goes down, I don’t really remember. Some of the mixing sessions I didn’t go to so some of it just happened there on the spot, decisions made by [Martine]. You kind of [have to] trust people to make certain songs the best way that they can do it at the time. It’s really a timepiece.

Do you gamble at all? Not really. [But] when in Rome, I suppose I would.

Folkies hit the mainstream: The Decemberists instrument was the most appropriate? We just kind of had everything set up and started playing really. Some songs [are ballads] so the pedal steel caters to that. We had [R.E.M.’s] Peter Buck lay some guitar stuff ... so some of the guitar parts were already laid down. On “Down By the Water” I initially played banjo and pedal steel and Peter played 12-string. Then once we got into it, we were like, well there’s plenty of pedal steel on this record. Maybe we should peel it back and make it more of a rock song. A lot of [those decisions come] in the editing process: what’s going to see the light of day and what’s not going to see the light of day. So normally,

What do you mean by that? Well, you look back and [say], “Hey, we could’ve done this differently” or something. But to sit there and labor over what you could’ve done differently, I think, is a little silly because it sort of [is about] capturing the moment. [During the] recording process, we [were] like, we’re going to do every song live and it’s all going to be live and what eventually came out was more of a studio record in the conventional sense, with a lot of overdubs and things like that. So, you can spend a lot of time agonizing over the fact that we didn’t do the recording process exactly as we planned or you can celebrate the

I remember listening to your album Picaresque back in 2005 and at the time I didn’t really know anyone that had heard of the Decemberists. Now, I don’t know anyone that that hasn’t Are you surprised at how large your audience has become over the years? I don’t know. I mean, it’s been a slow process. It’s not like, bang, surprise we were an overnight success. Surprised isn’t the right adjective for how I feel. I just feel grateful [that] people want to come to our shows and it’s obviously depressing to have it go the other way; just enduring, things like that, try to make a living from it. So it’s nice to go to these smaller towns or towns we don’t typically go to and have a few thousand people there So yeah, it’s great. I just feel grateful. But [in the era of] Picaresque, if we’d had such a large audience [like we have now] that would’ve been surprising. The bands that were still selling out [at the time] were left over ’90s [bands] like Weezer. I think we’re practically mainstream [now] in some ways. Early 2000 indie rock, or late ’90s indie rock just didn’t have that kind of audience. So, bands like Arcade Fire — bands that to some degree or another are contemporaries of our — are big-ticket acts now. Arcade Fire is selling out stadiums. This is not independent rock anymore. So, it’s kind of this shift in how corporate rock works, how independent rock works and how music works. n

The King is Dead seems like it’s influenced by more country and blues sources, where as previous records seemed to be informed by more English folk traditions. Was this a choice made by Colin or the band as a whole? Did it just happen organically? Well, we always follow Colin’s lead on stuff. He’s the genesis of our material. So whatever way his record collection is blowing, we sort of follow it. Maybe it was in the air a little more, somehow. For us it didn’t seem like a big switch. I think that [on] the past three records there’s always been pedal steel [ballads] like “Rise to Me” [that] have been very much cut from the same cloth as “The Drowned,” which is the last song on The Hazards of Love. I feel like for us, too, it’s hard to stand back and look at ourselves [and] say exactly what’s going on all the time. But to answer your question, there was never a conference call.

fact that we made a record and we all really liked it and people seem to like too.

What’s your favorite song to play right now live? I like playing “Don’t Carry it All” and always like playing “Down by the Water.” All the songs I really enjoy playing from the new record; that’s a good sign. [It’s not] that I was really sick of playing Hazards of Love in its entirety everyday, every show [but, it’s nice] to sort of be back to the formatted three-to-four-minute songs.

I’m looking at your tour schedule right now and it looks pretty intense. Do you think you’ll get to spend any time in Atlantic City after your show on the 29th? I don’t even know. I don’t really look where we’re going until I’m on the road these days.

Let’s get right to the new record. Can you talk a little bit about your role in the creation of The King is Dead? Well, as with all records, I play all kinds of instruments in the band [on it]. We just sort of set up in the little barn we had rented and just started basically playing the songs We rehearsed a couple times with Tucker Martine [The Decemberists’ producer] and just started playing parts. [During the recording process] you just try to come up with lines or ideas and what not. Eventually you land on something ... whether or not your initial idea actually made it on the record. I think it [is] part of the process in getting there and just seeing how you want the song to feel. Songs can take several turns as

THE MUSIC BEAT

Hotter Than July By Raymond Tyler

et’s put a big bow on July with this month’s “Music beat” winners. Best Concert — Runners-up are Full Force and Dennis edwards’ temptations Revue at gardner’s basin held saturday, July 16. the City of atlantic City is doing an amazing job of booking talent and keeping things fun and well organized for their free “summer in the City” series. Full Force and the temptations drew a record crowd. However, the winner for best July concert in atlantic City (that i saw) goes to sade. How good was sade on July 2 at the trump taj Mahal? John legend opened the show with a set that almost brought the house down. by the time sade finished her opening performance of “soldier of love,” i could not remember who opened the show. by the time sade finished her second song “your love is King,” she could have literally said, “good night and god bless,” and i don’t think anyone would have argued that they had not gotten their money’s worth. sade’s show was so extraordinary that she never performed her hit “Hang on to your love” and i didn’t complain. sade’s show was so great that when she performed songs i didn’t know, they still stopped my heart. Her concert was, in my book, right up there with stevie wonder as the best i’ve ever seen and heard. Best New Talent Venue of the Month — this honor goes to patti Harris’ “incubator for talented youth” series at Kennedy plaza. this year, dance icon Harris only had four weeks to present her talented youth and friends on

the atlantic City boardwalk, but neither enjoy bp express, based on what i’ve seen Harris nor her performers disappointed. of their youtube performances. the eHt For 11 years, Harris’ “incubator” series amphitheater has concerts throughout has been a summer tradition, bringing the summer ranging from pop to rock new talent and seasoned pros to the to jazz. For a full run down check out Kennedy plaza stage. Many of the pros ehtgov.org. had actually debuted as performers as Music Pick #3: 120 at atlantic youths over the years.

Disney’s broadway production of The Lion King). now we also do a poetry slam each week before the main performances. it’s a great evening of family fun, great food and drink, and admission is free. one final note: last saturday, July 24, the music world lost a great young talent in amy winehouse. i personally never fed into all the media hype because i never met her, but i am, however, good friends with her publicist, tracey Miller, who lives and works here in the area. she offered this note on winehouse’s passing. “i am heartbroken and sad. amy was incredibly sweet, unassuming, funny and caring — a beautiful and amazing artist with exceptional talent, i was privileged to have known her.” Finally, this week’s column headline comes from our thermometers — and the classic 1980 album by stevie wonder of the same name. Motown Records was not audited by the Recording industry of america before 1977. that would mean that Hotter Than July was stevie’s first platinum lp, even though wonder’s 1976 Songs in the Key of Life is one of the most influential recordings in history. n

Cocktail Book, entitled Speakeasy. However, cocktail historian David Wondrich, who won that category for his book, Punch, explains, cocktails did not define the Boardwalk Empire era, straight liquor did. “There’s a whole mythology of Prohibition and cocktails, but Boardwalk Empire isn’t much about cocktails, it’s about drinking,” he says. “They didn’t drink out of fancy cut tumblers, like the show used — those are modern — but they drank a lot of booze.”

Mexican food, cocktails don’t complement entrees,” Zaric noted, believing it’s best to pair straight spirits and cuisine of the same origin instead, when consuming food and liquor together. Expressing that philosophy in his dinner pairings, vodka was paired with caviar over a vermouth granita; poke tartare was served with pisco followed with cranberry-tomato juice, steak with whiskey and ice water.

EW ORLEANS — HALfWAy between the vice of Atlantic City and its famed Boardwalk, and Las Vegas and the Adult Video News Awards, lies New Orleans and Tales of the Cocktail. A week-long celebration (this year’s took place July 20-24) of potable vice, the annual event brings together the world’s best booze, brand ambassadors, bartenders and mentors — even Ron Jeremy and his rum — for a sleepless week of education, competition and all-night congregation around the art of the mixed drink, and all culminating in last Saturday night’s Spirited Awards (July 23). This year’s theme was Boardwalk Empire and as the HBO series’ opening credits — bootlegged by Pernod-Ricard, to feature their bottles of Beefeater and Jameson washing up against Nucky Thompson’s wingtip spectators — flashed upon the stage of the Mahalia Jackson Theater, nominees and presenters in wide ties and suspenders, and tattoo-baring flapper dresses filed inside. Entering through the theater’s unmarked back door, hidden from prying eyes of their ticket-holding peers, a red carpet led VIPs to a guarded elevator, then to the balcony lobby where champagne awaited. But as the lights dimmed and bar shuttered to signal the show’s start, the liquor never stopped flowing. Celebrated guests drank at stage-front tables while cigarette girls in fringed brassieres and sequined hot pants walked the orchestra aisles for the next three hours, bending at the knee to proffer flasks of Chivas, bottles of absinthe and nips of Becherovka, as emcee Billy Harris, backed by a big band and showgirls, offered his best Eddie Cantor impression between passing out awards for the best new spirits and bars, menus and cocktail-related writing. In step with the night’s homage to the 1920s, the award for World’s Best Cocktail Bar went to the owner-bartenders of New york City’s Employees Only. A tribute to that bygone era when speakeasies sprouted in the shade of temperance, Employees Only is hidden in plain sight on Hudson Street in the West Village, the entrance masked by a tarot reader’s parlor. Two of the bar’s owners, Dushan Zaric and Jay Kosmas, were even this year nominated for Best New

The 5th annual Tales of the Cocktail had a ‘Boardwalk Empire’ theme this year.

According to Wondrich, the simple mixed drinks that did exist during Prohibition more closely resemble the complimentary beverages — Screwdrivers, Jacks & Ginger — flowing freely to slots and table players in Atlantic City casinos today. “It was simple drinks, it was booze and ginger ale, gin and orange juice,” adds Wondrich. To their credit, at a spirits dinner for the brand Russian Standard held at New Orelans’ Eiffel Society two nights earlier, Zaric and Kosmas paired their meal with straight drinks and chasers in lieu of cocktails, the only one of 25 dinners held that Thursday to do so. Though Zaric admits it had less to do with the speakeasy era and more about accentuating the flavor of the food. “Except for [having] Margaritas with

like an obvious decision for any bar or restaurant, but according to Steve Olson, founder of AKA Wine Geek, and a nominee for Best Bar Mentor on Saturday night, it was a revolutionary philosophy for an Atlantic City casino when Olson developed the original beverage program for the Borgata in 2003. “The casino floor was the hardest,” Olson recalls. “Probably the biggest issue was the circular bar in the middle; they wanted Grey Goose and tonic, Red Bull and vodka, and we wanted to make drinks, so we had to do a lot of compromising. But in the restaurants [and] at Gypsy Bar, the cocktail thing became the rage and everyone loved it. And then every restaurant got more excited and more involved.” Offered the complete fine & Rare Collection of Macallan scotch for Borgata’s

Old Homestead steakhouse, Olson saw it as not just an opportunity for great press, but a way to make a statement about the level of spirits the Borgata would offer. None saw the commitment to that statement more than the Borgata’s high rollers. “What was really cool at the high-end craps tables, they could have any drinks they wanted,” adds Olson. “So they come in and find out I have ’82 Margaux —that’s what they can have to drink — all of a sudden I’m going out and buying ’82 Margaux at every auction until it’s gone. That’s a crime for the wine, but at the same time, it’s really good for the casino.” And in time, presentation of a wellmade cocktail became just as powerful a statement as a bottle of $1,200 wine. “All of a sudden these guys want someone to come to their table and make them a special drink, at the craps table or at the poker table, where it became a thing. you’d come down into the poker lounge, we’d send the barmaid who had taken the drinks order, and she’d come down to shake it for you.” A tactic not previously employed by Atlantic City casinos, it meant intense and difficult training, but out of the new group of young people working in the Borgata’s bars, great talent quickly surfaced. The casino recruited AKA Wine Geek’s Drew Levinson, then consulting with Olson on the project, to become the Borgata’s first beverage director. Levinson later departed to take the same title, as well as that of master mixologist, at the Bellagio in Las Vegas. A few years later, Jonathan Spadafore, then bar manager at the Borgata’s Gypsy Bar, became the casino’s director of nightlife before following west in Levinson’s footsteps, to become the manager of the Luxor’s LAX nightclub before opening his own consultancy, Kitchen Sink Nightlife.

All-American Hero ‘Captain America’ is a classic superhero, plus ‘Friends with Benefits.’ By Lori Hoffman

SUMMER FUN HAPPENS HERE!

n this summer of mildly disappointing superhero movies (X-Men: First Class, Thor, or in the case of Green Lantern, a full tilt stinker), Captain America, directed by veteran Joe Johnston (The Rocketeer, October Sky, Hidalgo) delivers the goods in an engaging fashion. Chris evans, minus his flame on-skills from the Fantastic Four films and with his hot body photo-shopped out of the picture to play 98-pound weakling steve rogers early on in the film, is quite the hero. the initial premise is engaging, as we watch rogers, a little man with asthma, trying to join the army in pre-Pearl harbor America. he keeps getting rejected and he keeps trying to find a recruiting station that will take him. rogers is fearless despite his frailty, a quality that catches the eye of scientist dr. Abraham erskine (stanley tucci), who invites rogers to join his very special military project. erskine has engineered a chemical that works like a superhero steroid with the idea being to create super soldiers to Captain America HHH directed by Joe Johnston; rated PG-13

stop the nazis from world domination. Gruff Colonel Phillips (tommy lee Jones) isn’t sold on rogers as the best candidate to be the initial guinea pig, but erskine has a reason for his choice. the serum heightens all the qualities of the subject, not just strength and endurance, and he believes someone with compassion will get the most out of his experiment. erskine has seen the effects of the serum on someone whose mindset was less noble than rogers’. there is also a dame tossed into the plot, a British agent, Peggy Carter (hayley Atwell) who brings a modern, post-feminist sensibility to a film otherwise steeped in World War ii nostalgia. that said, she is still there primarily to be Captain America’s love interest. once steve rogers has been transformed into Captain America, he wastes no time using his newly acquired abilities to capture a nazi spy in a breathtaking sequence that includes a race in the streets of new york that finishes with Captain A chasing down a mini-submarine. due to the circumstances that unfold, there will only be one super soldier, and Phillips isn’t gung ho about using him, but Captain America doesn’t give him a choice when he decides to save his best friend Bucky (sebastian stan) and the rest of the soldiers

captured by the ultimate villain, the über-evil Johann Schmidt, played by the go-to supporting play for tentpole summer movies, Hugo Weaving (The Matrix, Lord of the Rings, V For Vendetta, Transformers). While Captain America is in many ways a set-up movie for next summer’s multisuperhero Avengers film, it stands on its own as an enjoyable superhero flick with a great final showdown between hero and villain, characters we enjoy (both good and evil), some cool weapons and vehicles and a story that’s engrossing. Chris Evans delivers the perfect superhero with heart and Weaving is just as convincing as the epitome of evil (not easy when you consider that Hitler also shows up in this movie in a cameo role). Captain America seamlessly blends nostalgia with a classic superhero vibe and delivers an enjoyable popcorn summer entertainment.

No Strings Attached to ‘Benefits’

Back in January No Strings Attached, starring Natalie Portman and Ashton Kutcher, attempted to be an anti-romantic comedy that was in fact, a conventional romantic comedy by the end. Now, Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis are in a movie that follows the 2*, 4:30, 7:10, 9:45 mr. poppers’s penguins (PG) 2:10*, 7:05 a better life (PG13) 4:45, 9:30 super 8 (PG13) 2:35*, 7:10 the hangover part ii (R) 5:15, 9:50 larry crowne (PG13) 5, 9 cars 2 (PG) 2:20*, 7

exact same path, a movie about two people who decide to be friends and sexual partners, without the messy component of romance. This mini-genre also includes the superior Love and Other Drugs with Jake Gyllenhaal and Anne Hathaway, released last December. No Strings Attached and Friends With Benefits are essentially the same movie, an okay romantic comedy, certainly better than crap like The Ugly Truth (which is referenced in Benefits), but not that much better. Justin Timberlake is a talented comic actor, a side of his persona that has been best served by the hilarious digital shorts on Saturday Night Live. Fans of those music videos will appreciate an appearance by Patricia Clarkson (the SNL short “Mother Lover”) as Kunis’ sexually liberated mom. Richard Jenkins also adds a little weight as Timberlake’s Alzheimer-inflicted dad. Watching Friends With Benefits made me want a TimberlakePortman pairing in the future. n
