ALBUM WEEK Philly-born songwriter Jesse Ruben had only one wish for his 25th birthday: to have his album The Ones That Matter land on the iTunes Singer/Songwriter Top 10 chart. With the help of his loyal fan-base, Ruben’s wish was fulfilled. The Ones That Matter is a follow-up to Ruben’s 2008 debut record, Aiming for Honesty. Once you begin listening to his album, it is impossible to push the pause button. Ruben’s soulful voice and touching lyrics captivate listeners. His focused vision for his album is impressively executed, which can be heard throughout his pop-rock songs. Tracks such as “A Lack of Armor,” “Ace of Spades” and “Bleeker and Sixth” exemplify Ruben’s persistence to continually create irresistible music. — Cori Rosen

Brass Rail Is Back In May, developer Tom Sherwood Sr. opened the Diving Horse Cabaret and Steakhouse, formerly the sprawling Club Tru entertainment complex, which began as a tiny gay bar called the Brass Rail. By Ray Schweibert

OHN SCHULTZ IS QUICK TO point out that the Brass Rail, a 12-seat bar sited off a one-way side street in midtown Atlantic City, was not the catalyst to what was once a thriving social scene for the area’s gay community. That existed long before he purchased the bar in 1971, he says. But the Brass Rail certainly has its rightful place in Atlantic City history, as it set Schultz on his way to becoming an entertainment magnate of sorts and later one of Atlantic City’s best-known philanthropists, who continues on that mission with partner Gary Hill and the Schultz-Hill Foundation. About 20 years ago he also created Atlantic City’s Metropolitan Business & Citizens Association, which has contributed hundreds of thousands of dollars to various charitable, civic and non-profit organizations over the years. Schultz parlayed the Brass Rail into a sprawling, multi-functional entertainment complex called Club Tru, but for the better part of the last three years the complex was non-operational. Part of the reason is that developer Tom Sherwood Sr., who purchased the 55,000-squarefoot complex from Schultz, was sort of planning a strategy for the property and sinking a lot of personal capital into upgrades and restoration. The flagship of the complex is the Diving Horse Cabaret and Steakhouse — an upscale gentleman’s club on Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard that opened in May, and is flanked by what will be LUXX nightclub (called Studio Six when Schultz owned it), set to open Like us:

in October. But what seemed to get sort of lost in the shuffle was the Brass Rail — until about two weeks ago when it reopened for the first time in seven years to a weekendlong gala celebration. “Our grand opening was pretty big, and we’re getting stronger and growing a steady clientele every day, but we’re not where we used to be quite yet,” says Brass Rail

manager Jimmy Duffy, who previously worked for Schultz for 12 years. “We’re just building back the business now. Tom [Sherwood]’s done a nice job with it. The whole place looks new. The bar’s been resurfaced, a new tile floor was put in — it’s beautiful. It looks like it’s brand new.” Currently the Brass Rail is open 2pm to 4am daily (except Monday), and Duffy says he’d like to turn it into a 24-hour establishment as it once and always was. It has a daily Happy hour from 5-8pm that includes $2 domestic beer and $3 well drinks, and every Sunday (starting around 9pm) there are drag shows and male strippers, and Friday through Sunday nights DJ Joey “The Hatt” and DJ Jimmy DePre spin the hits. “I’m also bringing back karaoke

on Thursday nights with our former host, Millie,” says Duffy. “I stopped in after an event last night,” says Schultz. “They did a nice job in there. It’s the exact same layout, but they put a new top on the bar, a new floor in, changed the bathrooms and made them bigger. It was a nice crowd for a weekday. “The Rail was always more of a local place,” adds Schultz. “We made our money off the local people. We didn’t even have summer surges there.” Schultz says that the Brass Rail was first opened in the early 1900s and was one of the first bars in Atlantic City to be open 24 hours. It also boasts owning the second liquor license in Atlantic City history, and was originally owned by a U.S. Secret Service agent who later served as a bodyguard to President Harry Truman. “Back in the ’70s, when we had the energy crisis and [President] Nixon made everyone turn their heat down to 60 degrees, all the other bars closed but I couldn’t,” says Schultz. “I had no locks on the door, so I stayed open 24 hours, seven days a week. I did quite a business back then.” The bar was called La Chateau for about a year before Schultz purchased it in 1971 and changed it back to the Brass Rail. It would become one of nine bars Schultz had in operation at one time. “I had gay bars, a beach bar, a piano lounge, a discotheque — I had every market covered,” he says. “If a gay dollar came into Atlantic City, I got 90 cents of it.” n

OOKING

THE

MONTHLY promotion this summer. That’s resulted in

revenue figures for Atlantic City’s poker rooms — put out by the Division of Gaming Enforcement — doesn’t really give you a clear picture of why one poker room does better than another. But it can give you some good hunches. For example, it’s pretty clear that most of the city’s poker rooms are having a good summer and saw increases in play last month. It makes sense that Atlantic City would thrive in July. And it seems that casinos with high badbeat jackpots still see a healthy bump in players. A chance to win a lot of money equals players — pretty simple. But sometime things are just mysterious, such as an unusual and rather drastic fall off in play at the Taj Mahal last month. The Taj’s poker play fell nearly 40 percent from July over June. It’s almost as if every gain in players at other rooms came from the Taj’s player base. And the fall off happened even though the Taj’s bad beat was a healthy $413,000 when it hit mid-month. Like we said, it’s a mystery. Let’s start with the good news for one of the city’s oldest rooms, the Tropicana. The Trop took in $488,000 in its poker room in July, up from about $350,000 in June. The Tropicana’s bad-beat jackpot is sitting at $464,000 right now, which everyone agrees is probably the highest the Trop’s jackpot has ever been. In relation to other bad-beat jackpots in the city, anything over $400K is noteworthy and usually starts bringing in players. Still, with a small room, the bad beat has grown slowly, and it’s this month, August, when it should really affect play in the Trop’s room. Still, it’s a nice bump for the Trop. As usual, the Borgata was by far and away the poker leader in the city, making just under $1.95 million off its room, up about $100K over June. Remember, poker revenues aren’t winnings, and come from tournament fees and live cash game rakes. For a poker room to make money, it needs players and open tables. The Borgata’s strategy of special tournament events and varied live games clearly pays off as it keeps its room pretty crowded. Caesars Entertainment properties saw a mixed bag. Caesars’ rooms — Harrah’s Resort, Showboat, Caesars and Bally’s — have been running a fairly popular freeroll Like us:

bumps at Bally’s and Caesars (which was up nearly $100K from June to July) while Harrah’s Resort stayed relatively flat. Unfortunately, Showboat’s poker room remains the weakest in the city, bringing in just $211,000, down slightly from June. But then there’s the unexplained fall off at the Taj Mahal. Up until July 13, the Taj had the highest bad-beat jackpot in the city at $413,000, which for a large room like the Taj’s, is just getting to the point where it attracts more players. So it hits, and then nothing. Taj officials had no comment on the drop off, but the casino’s poker take fell to $554,000 in July, down from $957,000 in June. If you add up the gains in other rooms, it’s almost the same as the drop at the Taj. In fact, despite all the redistribution of money, poker revenue in the city as a whole remained relatively flat from June to July because of the Taj’s drop. Could it be outside competition? Let’s not forget that Delaware Park and the Pennsylvania casinos have added poker and are running promotions of their own. So who can say what attracts players to a specific room? Hopefully, the Taj just had a bad month and will bounce back. But with the Golden Nugget’s new room looming on the horizon, it’s getting clearer that each A.C. poker room better be ready to fight for its piece of the pie. In some happier news, the bad-beat jackpots continue to payoff for players. Last weekend saw the Caesars combined bad-beat jackpot hit for $252,439 on Sunday, Aug. 14. It’s the second hit for the jackpot this month. The hit came while the minimum hand was still set high (it decreases a notch every week it doesn’t hit) when an unnamed player saw his quad 10s go down to a straight flush. The loser/bad-beat winner won $76,137 while Seiki Lo, of Brick Township, won the hand and $50,893. The jackpot also paid 101 players at Bally’s and 211 players at other Harrah’s properties $405 each. Gotta say, that’s a nice crowd at Bally’s on a Sunday afternoon. The hit came at 4:53pm. The jackpot is back to $136,000 with four jacks as the minimum.

acts from the 1960s and ’70s who have performed in atlantic city, one name is glaringly conspicuous — but only by its absence. Johnny Rivers, the prolific hit-maker whose songs are inexorably woven into the fabric of a generation, has never performed in atlantic city. not during the pre-casino days, when the old steel Pier was living up to its billing as “the showplace of the nation.” and not since 1978, when casino showrooms became the venues of choice. While lesser-known artists from that era have become casino showroom regulars over the years, how has rivers, who’s sold more than 30 million records and has more than a dozen top 20 hits, managed to fly under the gaming hall radar? “i don’t know. just lucky, i guess,” he says with a laugh during a phone call from his california recording studio. “it’s just one of those things. i’ve played all around new jersey. i did a big thing a few years ago with [Bruce springsteen’s] e street Band over at the count Basie theater [in red Bank]. But i’ve never played atlantic city.” even after this weekend, rivers still won’t be able to include an atlantic city casino on his impressive resume of performances in some of the world’s top venues. But he’ll be ever so close. the singer, guitarist, songwriter and producer, who’s been turning out hits since the early 1960s, will headline sunday’s seventh annual Margate Rock Festival, a free outdoor concert at Washington avenue and the bay. the show, sponsored by caesars entertainment and by radio station Kool 98-3, also features John Cafferty and the Beaver Brown Band opening the program. the evening concludes with a fireworks show over the bay presented by cape Bank. the festival, to be held on the same island and just a few miles south of those elusive casinos, is presented by the Gold Foundation, which raises and distributes funds to a wide array of regional charities and non-profit organizations. rivers, 68, has an impressive discography that includes some original material. But he’s had his biggest successes covering songs by other artists. his only original song to hit the top of the Billboard chart was “Poor side of town” in 1966. and the song for which he’s best known, “secret agent man,” was never supposed to be a single and was originally a minute-long tune. rivers was on tour in england in 1964 when the producers of the British tV spy series Danger Man approached him and asked if he could come up with a new title song for the show, which was about to air in the United states. “at that time they just had an instrumental theme song, and they asked if we could try to put something together,” rivers recalls. the singer and guitarist consulted with songwriters Steve Barry and P.F. Sloan, and a new song, consisting of a single verse and chorus, was written. rivers then added the distinctive guitar hook that’s not only become synonymous with practi-

cally all spy movies, but has inspired fledgling guitarists learn how to play the instrument. When the show, re-titled Secret Agent for american television, made its debut, the brief theme song caused a stir. radio stations began asking for a full single, rivers remembers. “We recorded it live, took it in the studio and enhanced it a little bit and put it out,” he explains. “and sure enough it was a big hit.” Born in new York and raised in southern louisiana, rivers was drawn to country music, the blues and r&B when he was just a boy. after graduating high school, rivers made it to nashville and was just 18 when he found work as a demo singer and songwriter. at 22, his debut single, a cover of the Chuck Berry tune “memphis,” rocketed to number two on the charts. that began an impressive string of hits that carried him well into the 1970s. of all his big singles, including “seventh son,” “summer rain,” “tracks of my tears” and “midnight special,” only rivers’ “Poor side of town” reached no. 1 with its blues-inspired refrain. Unlike many blues songs, which have their origins in the writer’s pain, suffering and misery, rivers says he didn’t live the lyric before he wrote it. “it was a story, basically, based on something i’d seen,” he says. “it didn’t happen to me, because when i wrote it i was living in Beverly hills. But i did have my share of living on the poor side of town when i was young and just starting out.” most of rivers’ songs — covers or originals — came from old blues or r&B material. one of his earliest hits, a cover of blues great Leadbelly’s song “midnight special,” was written while leadbelly was serving a prison sentence in mississippi. “there’s a folk legend about [that song],” he says. “the ‘midnight special’ was a train, and the folk tale was that if the ‘midnight special’ came by, and if the light on it hit the window of your cell, you’d get a pardon in the morning. that’s why [the song has] the line ‘let the midnight special shine its ever-lovin’ light on me.’” away from the spotlight, rivers created his own record label. became a hand’s-on producer and launched the career of The 5th Dimension, winning four grammys for the vocal group’s debut album Up, Up and Away. n

ITH SO MANY GREAT EVENTS happening in and around Atlantic City, there is something for just about every one of us. Whether you’re a college student or a parent you’ll find something to enjoy, especially with all of the new restaurants and shops that have opened recently. But one of the topics that rarely gets discussed is: “Who’s gonna watch the kids?” Often parents can’t go out because they don’t have a babysitter and, since Atlantic City is largely a transient community, many folks are out of towners and only here during weekends. Depending on where you stay, you can find fun family activities to include adults and children, but what about adult time, and getting away for a few hours and feeling good about it? Well, luckily for you, I came across a local babysitting service called Bonded Babysitters. The company’s director of business development is Ed Sheppard. Anywhere from as little as four hours to a much as two weeks advance notice is enough time to book a sitter with them, sometimes even sooner, says Sheppard. They’ve watched children as young as nine weeks and as old as 12 years. Especially during beach season, mothers have been using one of the company’s 40 babysitters as “mother’s helpers” while taking the family on the beach — or if not they can utilize the service through babysitting in their rental properties and hotels where they are vacationing. Sheppard says his service is different than others because summer vacationers can’t just call up someone from the neighborhood that they know or trust because they don’t know anyone in the area. So they often resort to Craigslist and find complete strangers. All of the babysitters for Bonded Babysitters are screened and put through an orientation process. Plus they are locals who are reliable and trustworthy. Parents can go to Atlantic City for a night out, or have a date-night dinner overlooking the bay, while Bonded Babysitters will take the kids to the Boardwalk. One couple even asked them to watch their children while they went to the Rihanna concert at the Borgata. Here’s a story that Sheppard says epitomizes the value of his service. He received

a call from a gentleman saying he would like to take his wife out to dinner that night, and would make dinner reservations as soon as he confirmed they had a babysitter. “I told him to make the reservations,” says Sheppard. “When I asked him how he heard of us, he told me he had just gotten down today, but his wife had been down with the kids for three weeks. He was eating lunch and his wife slapped our flyer onto the table and said, ‘You’re taking me out tonight!’” It’s hard for parents to know where to go and who to trust with regard to watching their children. Sheppard’s company may be able to help some local families. Bonded Babysitters isn’t just a summer service either; they’re available year-round. In fact, one local teacher just hired them to watch her special-needs child throughout the school year. Considering that Bonded Babysitters employees are bonded, many people expect their rates to be higher than normal, but in fact many people have commented to Sheppard that his services offer the best value for the dollar they have gotten in the Jersey shore area. Check them out at bondedbabysittersocnj.com and see for yourself what they are all about. They have an informative blog that talks about everything from “Things you might need a babysitter for” to “Where we’ve taken kids and where parents have gone.” Plus, this is a great opportunity for those of you who are looking for a babysitting job. The company is building a babysitter database, so if you are at least 16 years old and enjoy working with children, go to their site and follow the directions on how to submit your information. n

t appears New Jersey certaiNly has something to bring to the table in the way of youtube’s culture of self-made cyberspace stars — even if the outcome was unintended. Fifty-five-year-old father and casino executive at the tropicana in atlantic city, allen samuels, self-dubbed “a. samuels,” released a new rap video on the web video hub entitled, ”livin’ de life,” which has reached more than 527,000 youtube hits since its debut late last week. Besides receiving jeers from hip-hop bloggers and vloggers and just about every gossip blog in cyperspace, including The Huffington Post, The Smoking Section, and the Hollywood Gossip site, the Newark, N.J.-native’s recent music-related escapades have been talked about on major news sources, such as Salon. com, Fox News and aBc. while many have dismissed samuels’ video as a joke, comparable to other “popflop” youtube blunders such as rebecca Black’s infamous song/video “Friday,” local student videographer Frank weiss — who shot and produced the video with his cape May county-based production company wild rhino studios — says it wasn’t intended that way. at the beginning of the video, samuels describes meeting a wealthy French entrepreneur who told him that leading a fulfilled life — i.e, “de life”— doesn’t necessarily correlate with how much money one has. “i know a lot of people with money, and they don’t know how to live de life. i live de life, and you must live de life,” samuels says before the music starts. as the four-minute video unfolds, samuels is seen dropping rhymes on street corners, basketball courts and golf courses as well as tippling champagne on a private jet and rubbing shoulders with an assemblage of glamorous friends. “we did [toy] with the idea of mak-

Samuels in a screen shot from ‘Livin’ de Life’ movie you want, you shoot the movie you can and edit the movie you have,’” says weiss. “and in this case, it was kind of like that.” “it’s been a rocky road,” he adds. “the [spontaneity] of it frustrated me a lot because i’m such a perfectionist. we shot what we could, which wasn’t exactly what i wanted, and edited it in a way that made allen look good.” while weiss says he is happy with his work on samuel’s video, he doesn’t want to get the reputation as someone who does “gimmicky” projects. “i worked my ass off on this [being made fun of] wasn’t a concern video, night and day,” says weiss. “it for him. in the end it turned out the was a little bit of a headache at times but in the end it turned out good.” way it did for a reason.” Birthplace Magazine, which covers weiss says he was approached about the New york hip-hop scene, tracked doing the project a few months ago. “at the time, i wasn’t imagining [the samuels down for an interview. samuels says people are misinterpetproject] growing to the level that it’s at right now,” says weiss during an early ing his message.

Atlantic City’s Summer of Love The Atlantic City Pop Festival was the forerunner to the Woodstock Festival, which took place 12 days later in the summer of ’69. By Jim Waltzer

welve days after Neil armstrong and Buzz aldrin took mankind’s initial steps on the moon, atlantic County braced for another first — the staging of the atlantic City Pop festival. Over the three-day weekend of aug. 1-3, 1969, drumbeats would replace hoof beats at the festival site, the atlantic City race Course in Hamilton township. festival producers Herb, allen and Jerry spivak, shelley Kaplan and larry Magid envisioned an event that featured top-flight entertainment along with about 70 craft and food booths in a relaxed, outdoor atmosphere. an impressive range of talent ranging from a (american dream) to Z (frank Zappa) was booked. the roster of acts spanned the musical spectrum from american rock (Jefferson airplane, Creedence Clearwater revival, Captain Beefheart), the blues (B.B. King), British rock (Procol Harum, Joe Cocker), r&B (Booker t. & the MGs), singer/ songwriters (tim Buckley, Joni Mitchell) to ‘50s rock ‘n’ roll (little richard). Other acts were initially booked (Crosby, stills and Nash, the Moody Blues) and featured in advertising and on t-shirts, but did not appear at the festival. in his book, My Soul’s Been Psychedelicized – Electric Factory: Four Decades in Posters and Photographs (temple University Press), Magid credited spivak with sealing the deal for the racetrack as the site of the festival, the first major one on the east Coast. Not everyone was eager to see the festival come to southern New

revival, riding a wave of commercial popularity, did not disappoint with such hits as “Green river” and “Proud Mary.” the pace of the festival went smoothly, Magid noted in his book, thanks to a stage designed by Buckminster fuller that revolved on a turntable to allow the acts to go on without delay. during the festival, the crowd was generally orderly, but there was a sense of “anything goes” as well. some spectators climbed the racecourse’s light towers for a better view of the proceedings. during the heat on saturday, others went swimming in the track’s pond to cool off. Marijuana use also was prevalent. a Rolling Stone report on the festival noted that “dope smoking was so flagrant that anyone sitting within five rows of the stage was guaranteed at least a contact high.” the biggest disruption in the festival — aside from three days of onand-off rain — came when no one was on stage. a small group of concertgoers who camped at the site ransacked the merchants’ area, stealing an estimated $20,000 worth of musical instruments, albums and related merchandise. the festival ended harmoniously with memorable closing performances by Janis Joplin and little richard. twelve days later, the woodstock festival kicked off in New york and became the festival most associated with 1969, thanks to a documentary film and two soundtrack albums. silent footage of the atlantic City Pop festival can be seen on youtube, but the memories play on in the minds of those who were there that august weekend. n

On July 31, 1969, Maryland 17-year-old Peter Stupar, with a rented camera, hitched his way up to the Atlantic City area for the Atlantic City Pop Festival. Little did he know that a) he’d be allowed to shoot all three days of the concerts, by managing to stay on the press corps side of the fence, b) he’d become a successful rock photographer who would go on to shoot Bob Dylan, Bob Marley, The Who and countless others (see peterstupar.com), or that c) he’d spend all three nights (Aug. 1-3, 1969) sleeping in the rain in the festival parking lot. “It rained like hell all every night,” Stupar tells AC Weekly. “It was like a hurricane. I had no change of clothes; I was a salty dog.” Stupar hadn’t even purchased his first Nikon, yet on the second day of the festival, he “marched over to the fence where the press photographers were on the second day and I told them I was with the press and they didn’t even ask for anything.” Stupar, who has been working on a book of photographs from the festival, says those who are interested in photos from the festival should check the photo gallery on his Web site.

Well known in the area as co-owner of Mia at Caesars, esteemed chef Chris Scarduzio adds his own name to a new establishment at Showboat. By Frank Gabriel Topped by gooey Gruyere, the trio of beef, onion and cheese worked it’s usual magic. Scallops were large discs of pure white meat, barely seared, leaving their interiors cool,still smelling, and tasting, of the ocean. But that cavatelli, pasta fairly uncommon on Italian menus, was what really made us take notice. We’ve seen them most often before in roughhewn squarish shapes, but the Scarduzio’s cut was a twisty sort of macaroni. This textural shape superbly picked up both the spicy tomato butter and sundried tomato pesto paired as sauces. Really, really good stuff. As was our lobster hand roll, a dark, tightly wound cone of nori (dried seaweed) laden with lobster, jalapeno relish, cucumber, tomato and bibb lettuce. Even the presentation of this hand-held treat was unexpected: standing straight up in a metal rack, sided by pickled ginger. Combining firm, expertly cooked lobster, mildly hot jalapeno and cooling greens made for one of our favorite items of this summer. Another major component necessary for

Scarduzio’s: Steak & Sushi N A TOWN FILLED WITH SUPERIOR steakhouses — including most of our nation’s most respected franchises/brands — fresh arrivals need to possess both an existing reputation plus a certain intangible cachet in order to compete. Scarduzio’s Steak/Sushi/Lounge, the Showboat’s newest addition, appears to have both those prerequisites nicely covered. Executive chef and owner Chris Scarduzio, a Philadelphia native who also operates the well-regarded Mia at Caesars, has willfully tweaked the classic steak house format to create a new, different dining entity. For a clue to that winning formula, review the name. Steak, of course, gets top billing. But right behind it is “sushi,” a primary component of his overall concept. And, not for nothing, “lounge” immediately follows. Which is, in a way, the exact reverse order that we experienced Scarduzio’s on a recent weekend evening. That lounge — which we ventured into first — is spacious, ultra-hip, composed of a curving bar and a cozy seating district replete with comfy, overstuffed chairs. We predict it will soon become one of our town’s most sought-after locales for drinks and upscale socialization. Which brings us directly to the sushi aspect. When we last visited this dining space it was to sup at former tenant, sushi and sashimi specialist, Oshi. Our meal was memorable, including some of the very best Japanese fare we’ve ever encountered locally. As a result, we were more than pleased to see new management had retained that nearly-hidden little gem, now nicely tucked into the right rear corner of Scarduzio’s. The initial samplings from their kitchen included Kobe sliders, diver sea scallops and cavatelli pasta. The beefy mini-burgers were loaded with sweet, melted cippolini onions.

Scarduzio’s Steak/Sushi Lounge

Chef Scarduzio in action on opening night. See video at acweekly.com/multimedia. the survival of a fine steak house is their kitchen’s competency with other, specifically seafood, entrees. With today’s food trends strongly tilting towards less consumption of red meat, it’s kind of a no-brainer. Our dining partner’s Scottish salmon demonstrated that Scarduzio knows how to handle a great piece of fresh fish. A thick filet was seared, finished in an oven, then presented atop a bed of firm English peas, orzo pasta and baby bok choy with a ginger emulsion. This dazzling blend of tastes and textures danced merrily alongside the salmon, one of nature’s more assertive seafoods. I opted for the 16-oz. dry aged Delmonico steak. While that term has become synony-

mous with multiple cuts of beef, Scarduzio’s uses what most consider the original and the very finest: boneless ribeye. The beauty of this center cut piece of beef is its richness, thanks to a greater quality of fat grains inherent. One online steak-enthusiast Web site even goes so far as to implore that “it is absolutely the sweetest and juiciest of beef eating in the world.” Ordered Pittsburgh rare, the steak arrived with a magnificent-looking char. Sliced open, the meat was pink and gloriously bloody. A carnivore’s dream come true. The bill of fare contains another half dozen steaks, including two sizes (8 and 14 oz.) of Tajima Wagyu, otherwise known as the authentic breed of Kobe beef. We were equally enamored of a fellow diner’s whole rack of roasted lamb, two sets with four bones apiece, each with a layer of meat nearly as generous as most filet mignon. Sides are a la carte except for that salmon and a bronzino with shellfish risotto. We tried two versions of whipped Yukon gold potatoes, one with truffle that was very good and another, speckled by pieces of lobster, which proved heavenly. Other options include mac and cheese, a Jersey corn fricassee, local mushrooms from Kennett Square, Pa., tempura onion rings, sauteed spinach and asparagus. From the dessert list, strawberry mille feuille brought a tall, layered puff pastry piped to almost overflowing with white chocolate, strawberry cream and the essence of vanilla bean. Served in jigger-sized individual glasses, sweet-n-sour shots are little puddings of various flavors. We tried a luscious lemon creme and a mango mousse, both of which were highly elevated takes on a fond childhood memory. Other possibilities include: raspberry, passion mousse, Valhrona chocolate, roasted pineapple and coconut. n

Feel at Home at Mexico

fajitas to specialties such as Carne Tampiquena (grilled beef steak served with two enchiladas and guacamole) to a wide range of seafood. Through it all, the restaurant gives you that home-cooked feeling. “All of our recipes our family recipes,” says Villa. “People feel at home here. We’re very grateful that so many people have stayed with us through the years.” The restaurant and bar are also famed for their margaritas and features $5 lime margaritas on Mondays. Other drink favorites are Mexico’s sangria and pina coladas. The Villa family has also opened a new location, La Hacienda at 265 S. New York Rd. in Galloway Township. “It’s a bigger restaurant, but the menu is exactly the same,” says Villa. “It’s what has always worked for us and our customers.”

Many restaurants claim to make customers feel at home, but few have reached the family feel of Mexico Restaurant and Bar in Atlantic City. Since the restaurant was opened at 3810 Ventnor Ave. in 1995 by brothers Marcos and Baruh Villa, the staff and chefs at Mexico have upheld a consistency and tradition that’s hard to match. “We really haven’t changed a thing since we opened,” says Diana Villa, manager of Mexico. “Our menu is all authentic and we haven’t changed anything. Our staff has been with us since the beginning and so have a lot of our customers. They’ve stayed with us through the years and now we see people who came to the restaurant as children getting married and bringing their children.” That type of consistency comes from a menu stacked with authentic Mexican favorites made to order and served fresh. The recipes highlight traditional Mexican fare from spicy chili flavors to hardy Mole sauces. Mexico’s crowd-pleasers range form tortas, fajitas, chimichangas and

OME OF THE QUALITIES THAT allowed Tilman Fertitta to reach the apex of the business world, and transform Landry’s Restaurants Inc. into a conglomerate worth nearly $4 billion, he seems to carry around like a set of car keys. Ideas emanate from him when he sees the need to maximize efficiency, as evidenced during the photo shoot for this article when the backdrop moved to the newest addition — Vic & Anthony’s steakhouse — of Fertitta’s newest business acquisition — Atlantic City’s Golden Nugget. The 54-year-old Texan appeared to lash out in an effort to restore order to a situation that had become a bit chaotic. The results he sought were immediate, as was Fertitta’s disclosure that his actions were in jest, not anger. “Believe me,” said one of the executives Fertitta kept in tow. “You’ll know when he’s not kidding.” The Galveston-born Fertitta became principal owner and CEO of the Houston-based Landry’s in 1986, and he was instrumental in turning what began as two restaurants into more than 300 properties in 36 states. In 2005 the company acquired both Nevada Golden Nuggets (Laughlin and Las Vegas), and in May Fertitta purchased the former Trump Marina and re-branded it Golden Nugget Atlantic City. As has become his business trademark, Fertitta is incredibly adept at buying struggling properties at bargain prices and turning them into those that thrive. Currently the only other property he owns in Atlantic City (excluding his major shares in the seafood chain McCormick & Schmick’s) is the Rainforest Café on the Boardwalk, which Landry’s bought as part of a chain in 2000 for $60 million and converted into a franchise now worth an estimated $400 million. Fertitta’s $38 million purchase price of Trump Marina is nearly considered a steal (it almost sold for 10 times that as recently as three years ago, in a business venture that would have included musician Jimmy Buffett), but if you think Fertitta is in any way remorseful about pinching a 27-story, 728room casino hotel on 14 acres of waterfront property from probably the most famous name in A.C.’s gaming history, forget it. “We bought it for $38 million but it was losing $15 million a year, so if I said to any of these guys ‘I’ll give you this casino [free] even though it’s losing $15 million a year’, do you think they’d take it?” Fertitta asks Atlantic City

The Ocean City Pops remain one of the area’s best bets each summer, offering a lively and varied series of performances at the Music Pier, with a schedule that extends through September. But that schedule is sprinkled with a lot more than just performances by the Pops’ resident musicians. Throughout the season Pops performances are livened up with guest singers and bands. William Scheible, director of the pops, traces back the Pops’ schedule of guest artists to a refurbishing of the Music Pier about a decade ago, which increased the size of the venue’s stage. “Before, we couldn’t really do any theatrical productions or bring in very many guest artists,” says Scheible, who has been conducting the pops for 25 years. “But now we’ve been able to work with theater groups and bring in guest artists ... We could never do that before.” Which is why this Sunday, Aug. 21, The Pops will play opera. The pops will present Highlights of Carmen, the classic opera by Georges Bizet. Joining the Pops will be singers Colleen Daly, Norman Garrett, Mo El Zein, Carla Dirlikov, with choral accompaniment provided by the Doug Murdoch Singers. Here are the descriptions of the guest singers. Dirlikov was recently described by Opera

the heartstrings with its dramatic force and musicality.” In the past two seasons, she made European debuts as Principessa Eboli in Don Carlo with the Opera Royal de Wallonie in Belgium and her European concert debut in Rossini’s Stabat Mater and Beethoven’s Kantate auf den Tod Kaiser Josephs II at the Spoleto Festival in Italy. Soprano Colleen Daly is rapidly emerging as a “dramatically powerful” (The Washington Post) singer in today’s operatic arena. Miss Daly’s wide range of roles includes Musetta in Des Moines Metro Opera’s production of La Bohème, the Countess in Annapolis Opera’s production of Le Nozze di Figaro, and the title roles in Opera Delaware’s production of La Traviata, among many others. Norman Garrett, baritone, is a native of Lubbock, Texas. Garrett has a BM in vocal performance from Texas Tech University. Most recently, he received his MM in voice from CCM, The College-Conservatory of Music at the University of Cincinnati. Garrett was consistently cast in main stage roles at CCM. Those roles include Bertrand — from Dangerous Liaisons, Thoas — from Iphigénie en Tauride, Reporter 1 — Miss Lonelyhearts (Midwest Premiere), and Alcindoro — La Bohème. Mo El Zein hailing originally from Beirut, Lebanon, is a resident artist at the prestigious Academy of Vocal Arts in Philadelphia. He recently performed the role of Luigi in Puccini’s Il Tabarro in

Philadelphia at the Kimmel Center for Performing Arts in which the review from the Philadelphia newspaper The Chestnut Hill Local said of him: “Tenor Mo El Zein intensely invested in the role of Luigi with reckless abandon….most certainly thrilling to see and hear.” All in all not a bad lineup of up-and coming operatic talent. Tickets are $20/$12. Showtime is 8pm. Tuesday, Aug. 23, the Pops offer up their version of Cirqu De La Symphony which features exceptional cirque veterans from throughout the world - aerial flyers, acrobats, contortionists, dancers, jugglers, and balancers, all performing to exciting music of the Pops. So you can see, you can never be sure who’s going to be on stage with the Pops. Tickets are $25/$20. Showtime is 8pm. Another concert of note is the closing performance of the Stockton Goes to the Beach concert series. For the last hurrah, the series features “ABBAmania” a recreation of the 70’s pop super group. You can expect pretty faithful recreations of the bands hits (isn’t every ABBA song a hit?) including “Dancing Queen,” “Fernando,” “Waterloo,” and “SOS”. The Stockton performance is Monday at the Music Pier at 8pm. Tickets are $30. For all shows, call 525-9300 or visit ocnj.us. And don’t forget, Weird Week’s Whacky But Not Tacky children’s contests continue at the Music Pier at 11am through Friday. Visit ocnj.us. n

Straight No Chaser

In their second summer in Atlantic City, the 10 members of Straight No Chaser have brought a show they call “Back to the Shore: Songs of the Decades and More.” The group began for these college friends back at Indiana University in 1996. Today they have accumulated more than 31 million views on YouTube and numerous national TV appearances. They joke that “they can’t afford instruments,” as the reason that they combine their beautiful harmonies with the recreation of instrumental backing using only their voices to sustain the beat. Their show is divided into decades, with tributes to the top harmonies of each era. The show is even better than last year’s excellent presentation. One of the best additions is a segment when they blend together songs by the Beatles and the Rolling Stones. There are also returning favorites like their Four Seasons segment featuring “Big Girls Don’t Cry” and “Walk Like A Man” and a spotlight for SNC’s Jerome Collins to do his Michael Jackson tribute. The other members of the group are Michael Luginbill, Randy Stine, David Roberts, Charlie Mechling, Walter Chase, Dan Ponce, Ryan Ahlwardt, Seggie Isho and Tyler Trepp. n

Johnson’s Country Conviction

Jamey Johnson

Where: House of Blues at Showboat, AC When: Thursday, Aug. 18, 9pm How Much: $29.50, $39.50

A former Marine and construction worker, Jamey Johnson brings his country traditionalism to the House of Blues. By Lori Hoffman

S THE MUSIC BUSINESS CONTINUES earned an Academy of Country Music to struggle to find its footing in the Song of the Year Award in 2007 for cowake of crashing record sales and writing the George Strait hit “Give It the continued growth of the Internet Away.” Johnson found a home at Mercury as the main selling platform, country music has suffered through another era Records and released the acclaimed album of pop domination. Traditional country That Lonesome Song in 2008, including the music has been pushed aside by music that sounds like top 40 with the occasional twang of a steel guitar to make it barely recognizable as country. However, there is one performer out there who has inherited the mantle passed down from Willie, Merle and Waylon and that’s Jamey Johnson. The Alabama native with a ZZ TopJamey Johnson: ‘The road is where it’s at.’ style beard was a member of the Marine Corps Reserves for eight years and ran his own song “In Color” which was named the construction company in Nashville while Song of the Year by both the Academy of he tried to make it as a singer-songwriter. Country Music and the Country Music His released his debut album in 2005, The Association. He followed that up with the ambiDollar, but he was better known as the songwriter who penned the Trace Adkins’ tious, 25-song double album The Guitar hit “Honky Tonk Badonkadonk,” and Song (2010) with the “Black Album” and

the “White Album.” In an interview Johnson explains what he was going for: “The original idea was always to do a double album. It is an album that is a tale. The first part of it is a very dark and sordid story. And then everything after that is progressively more positive, reassuring and redemptive.” Johnson is coming to the House of Blues in Atlantic City, Aug. 18, joined by his band, the Kent Hardly Playboys. He explains, “The road is where it’s at. I love it. That’s where you take country music. You don’t get the message out there by sitting at the house. I go out there and meet the people.” In a recent teleconference, Johnson talked about his current show. How would you best describe your fans? Two words immediately come to mind: passionate and loyal. And they get the same degree of both from me. And there’s a warm and kindred fellowship every time we get together. And my real fans, the ones who show up as often as ten or so shows a year, sometimes we see the same faces, and man it’s good to see ‘em. Every time I step on a stage, I look out there across the crowd and I see a couple smiling faces that I’ve seen several times a year for the past five or six years or so. I can’t tell you what that means for me. What the fans can expect from your show? What the fans can expect is a great deal of good music by highly trained musicians that never sit back on their accomplishments. And every time we

pack a stage, we are doing some songs for the first time that night that we’ve never even had a rehearsal on that maybe we haven’t heard in quite a while. So we get to come up with our own unique versions of it. I feel like that’s what our fans pay for when they come to see us play live. They want to see that degree of spontaneity. You are often compared to Waylon Jennings and you appear on this year’s tribute album. Can you talk about his influence on you as a music fan and how he has influenced your songwriting? Waylon was influenced by a lot of my heroes as well. We never met. I never got a chance to meet Waylon or to share with him what he did mean to me, but I’m sure he and I listened to a lot of the same music. He was a Hank Williams fan. And growing up in Montgomery Alabama, you can’t help but be a Hank Williams fan. The first thing I learned about Waylon was that he was Buddy Holly’s bass player. The second thing I learned about Waylon was he was the guy on the Dukes of Hazzard. That’s all I needed to know. He was practically a distant uncle from that point on and you know, his music, I listened to it so much it’s got to be the answer to the bond between Shooter [Jennings] and I today. Musically we learned from the same source. And you don’t find that very often. n

et’s put aside the controversy about yet another look at racism in the american south featuring a white character who facilitates the ability of the black characters to take a step toward change. it is there, hovering above the action, but at the heart of the adaptation of Kathryn stockett’s novel The Help are the thoughts and actions of the black women it honors. these women, housekeepers and the primary caregivers for the children of their employers, have to remain stoic in the face of the casual — and not so casual — racism that defines their working lives surrounded by people who for the most part think of them as lesser human beings. yet they raise those children with a sense of pride and accomplishment, planting the seeds of change in the next generation. of course, for every child who understood and appreciated the devotion of The Help HHH Written & directed by tate taylor; rated pG-13

the black women that raised them, there were the ignorant, thoughtless ones who perpetuated the racism of “separate but equal” without giving it a second thought. representing the thoughtful side of the equation in Jackson, Miss., in the 1960s is skeeter (emma stone), a recent graduate of ole Miss who wants to be a writer and gets a job at the local paper while trying to interest a national publication in her talent. on the other side is hilly (Bryce dallas howard), a southern belle with a rancid soul who rules her social circle. hilly is leading a campaign to make it a law that black maids must have a bathroom built outside the homes where they work. through a series of events and a budding friendship with maid aibileen clark (viola davis), skeeter comes up with the idea of writing an article about maids from their point of view and using their stories. this is the template from which the film, written and directed by newcomer tate taylor, a childhood friend of novelist stockett, takes off into a series of small moments that paint a picture of

‘The Help’ Southern life and its numerous contrasts and ironies. We see the indignities that are endured with quiet fury, in the case of Aibileen, and with sass and a moment of hysterically funny revenge in the case of Minny Jackson (Octavia Spencer). There are moments when the film leans on traditional stereotypes, but what redeems it is the ability to expand those stereotypes into more complicated and layered portrayals, helped immensely by the fabulous performances from a delightfully diverse cast. Topping the list is Davis, an Oscar nominee a few years back for Doubt, who should be in the best actress category when the nominees roll out for this year. She is given the burden of representing the maids who kept their pain locked up inside but who understood exactly where they stood. When Aibileen finally lets her emotions out, it is a breathtaking moment of triumph. Spencer, on the other hand, is the comic find of the year. Her Minny, who is more overly prideful than Aibileen, refuses to keep her emotions in check, creating many of the film’s top comic vignettes. There are also terrific performances all harry potter & the Deathly hallows, part 2 (PG13) 2*, 7 miDnight in paris (PG13) 4:30, 9:40 the change up (R) 5, 7:35, 9:50 cowboys anD aliens (PG13) 2:30*, 7:25

the way down the line, including Jessica Chastain (who expands the “white-trash” stereotype with a beautiful sweetness); Stone’s determined Skeeter; Howard’s bitch on wheels who gets her comeuppance; Allison Janney and Sissy Spacek as the mothers of Skeeter and Hilly respectively; Ahna O’Reilly as Aibileen’s weakwilled employer and Mary Steenburgen as the New York editor who wants to buy Skeeter’s article. The film also evokes the budding civil rights movement, with the murder of Jackson, Miss. resident and civil rights champion Medgar Evers, putting the characters in the larger context of what will be coming next. The Help is a movie that presents the voices of the strong black women that were the backbone of Southern life, and that is the final impression that sticks with us when the final credits roll. n
