Expression meme: A4, Elbys
I hope you’re happy
didn't win an award for a restaurant but definitely won an award for my A+ dancing #elbys #richmondmagazine (at Altria Theater)
Iiiiits Elbys! Started listening to TAZ again this morning and I gotta do something so I doodles everyone's favorite bard!
Dear T.J. and Bonnie (Boury) Radevski:First, we would like to thank you for owning and maintaining an attractive and entertaining "sports garden" restaurant for all these years, and thank you, too, for paying tribute to Elby’s Family Restaurant by offering so many of the old favorites on your menu.The Fish n’ Chips, Half-Pound-Ground-Round, spaghetti, ham & bean soup, cole slaw, onion rings, Mtneer (Swiss) Miss, the Brawny (Lad) Mt’neer, the Slam (Slim) Jam (Jim), and the Big (Boy) T remind us of those Big Boy days when splitting a Hot Fudge Cake on a date was a real big deal.In fact, that’s exactly why we’re reaching out.We wish to strongly encourage you to share with the world the recipe for YOUR Big (Boy) T Sauce. We know there are alleged versions out there – the Big Boy Restaurant Group in Michigan even sells their rendition online, for crying out loud! – but we respectfully and vehemently admit we prefer yours over theirs … and it ain’t even close.We believe, too, such a gesture just might qualify you both for the Nobel Peace Prize in the “Culinary Contribution” category. Well, OK, we're not really sure about all that, but we’ll be rootin’ ya, anyway.Sincerely,Kidding Not Kidding
He has that smile. It’s a catchy smile, too. If he’s in a photograph, and he’s smiling, you notice the man’s smile. Meet Bob Heldreth, a gentleman with a lot to smile about. He’s a husband, a father, a 16-year firefighter who moonlights as a marketing vice president for one of Wheeling’s most successful companies in the history of the municipality, and he also often posts solid food porn because yeah, the dude can cook, too. A real “Renaissance Man,” right? Well, yes, that is right, actually, and it’s on purpose. Performance has earned promotion to this point and now the plan only calls for more hard work to produce more opportunity. That way, Heldreth figures, he can continue cherishing that amazing, singular moment when he became the luckiest man in the world.Come to think of it, Heldreth should be smiling all the time.Heldreth has been a member of the Wheeling Fire Department for 16 years after serving as a volunteer in Clearview.What clinched your decision to become a Wheeling firefighter? I never thought I wanted to be a firefighter. But when a friend joined the Clearview Volunteer Fire Department, I thought I’d give it a try. There was a fire at Wheeling Station – it was actually the same apartment we lived in after my parents got divorced, but that’s another story. It was a daytime fire, limiting the response from the volunteers, so Wheeling was called. Chief Mike Zambito responded with a few Wheeling units. After the fire, Chief approached me. He said I did a good job and asked me about taking the Wheeling Fire test. I was recently graduated from West Liberty State College and a career in civil service wasn’t on my radar. But here I am, 16 years later. How do you explain to people how it feels to walk into a burning structure? Going into a fire is strange. It’s pitch black and extremely hot. You have to rely on senses you don’t usually need when entering someone’s home. There are sounds – cracks, pops, electricity arcing. Based on this information, you have to determine where the fire is going – in a wall, a ceiling … you just can’t let it get behind you. Although he never planned to become a firefighter, perhaps fate played a role.Has anyone you didn’t know ever asked you for one of your recipes? If so, which one? And what’s the recipe? If not, explain what they are missing! Every day my partner asks me what we’re having for lunch, and every day I say I don’t know. That’s because if you have a preconceived notion of lunch at the firehouse, it’s going to cost you $30 each. Firefighters pay for their own food, and it’s usually lunch and dinner split between those on duty. I usually start my shopping with what’s reduced for quick sale, then what’s on sale. Sometimes recipes get items omitted or interesting items added. Imagine the TV show “Chopped,” but they only spend $20. What makes Panhandle Cleaning & Restoration such a successful company? Panhandle Cleaning & Restoration is about two things: innovation and letting employees succeed. My story isn’t much different than the owner, Bob Sr.’s. I started out managing construction crews, usually overnight, and marketing our services to those impacted by disasters. In the past 10 years, I have moved up in the company to run the marketing department. Not too bad for a part-time job. Bob and and his bride, Leslie, have been married since 2007.Have you ever wondered how you got so lucky? I’ve only been lucky once in my life, and that was getting my wife to go out with me. I definitely outkicked my coverage. Everything else I have accomplished has come from hard work and perseverance. Luck doesn’t keep you up at night; ambition does. I’ve had two jobs my entire life. When I was in high school, I worked at Elby’s Big Boy (no, I didn’t hold the hamburger out front) until 10 p.m., then I would go to the Capitol Music Hall and clean up after the shows, sometimes until well after midnight. I worked these jobs to pay for my car insurance. My work ethic has never stopped. If you want nice things, you have to work hard for them. Am I lucky? Probably not, but I am thankful for the opportunities I have been given in my life.
Females and football? The legendary Franco Harris once had his doubts.The passing of the Hall of Fame running back of the Pittsburgh Steelers was revealed early this morning by his son, Bok, according to The Associated Press, and the news shocked Wheeling resident Gene Fahey, his wife Candy, and his wife’s daughter, Sissy George. The three attended a dinner in Franco’s honor this past week at the Pittsburgh Marriott near the Pittsburgh International Airport.Harris ran for more than 12,000 yards and won four Super Bowls with the Steelers during the dynasty years in the 1970s. His death comes two days before the 50th anniversary of the ‘Immaculate Reception’, an improbable catch against the Oakland Raiders in 1972. Harris was to have his No. 32 retired by the Steelers, too, this weekend during halftime of Pittsburgh’s home game against the Raiders on Christmas Eve.Fahey, regional vice-president, and general manager of Altmeyer Funeral Homes & Crematory in West Virginia and Ohio, had the opportunity to speak with Harris at length and one topic was the Hall of Famer’s support of the Pittsburgh Passion, an all-female football team that plays home games in the Imperial community of the Pittsburgh area.“It was a special dinner for Franco this past Saturday evening, and we were lucky enough to be assigned seats at Franco’s table,” Fahey explained. “It was in honor of the Steelers retiring his No. 32, and it is also the anniversary of the ‘Immaculate Reception.’ He and his wife, Dana attended, of course, and our conversations are something I’ll never, ever forget.“So many people were coming up to him because, well, he’s Franco Harris, a legend of the Pittsburgh Steelers,” he said. “And he was always so great with my wife’s daughter, Sissy, who has been a member of the Passion now for a couple of seasons, and I know all of the ladies with the team are devastated. He was so important to their success, and he’s always been a wonderful man to all of them.”Harris told Fahey, though, that he had his doubts when the concept was initially introduced.“During the dinner, he told the story about how he got involved with the Pittsburgh Passion,” Fahey recalled. “He admitted that he was a little skeptical about getting involved with a female football team at first, but he did find out where they were playing one of their games, and he went. But he stood behind a fence and he wore a ballcap so no one would recognize him, but he was impressed.“He thought the ladies were incredible and he recognized that the ladies were incredible athletes, and that’s when he decided to get involved,” he said. “That’s how he ended up becoming one of the three owners of the Pittsburgh Passion and he’s been involved for the last 20 years. He said it made him feel a commitment to women and sport, and he told us he loved that the females had the opportunity to play the game at a very high level and that he was a part of it.”Franco took the time to pose for photos this past weekend during a dinner in his honor at the Pittsburgh Marriott.

"This is the 50th anniversary of one of the most memorable plays in NFL history; one that changed the course of our success with his 'Immaculate Reception' in 1972. My grandfather was once quoted as saying: 'Before Franco got here, we didn't win much; Since he got here, we don't lose.' I think that sums it up pretty good."Franco's impact on the franchise would be hard to overstate,” Rooney continued. “That is why I think it is fitting and appropriate that we recognize Franco's remarkable career by retiring his Number 32 at our game on December 24."Harris, who told Fahey he remembered his trip to Wheeling to sign autographs at Boury's and Elby's during his playing days, couldn’t believe it.“He told me that he was really shocked when the Rooneys called him to tell him they were going to retire his number. He told me the thought never crossed his mind. Never,” Fahey said. “He said it was the greatest honor to be one of three players in their history to have their number retired by the team.“We talked about Terry Bradshaw and how he was all business on the field, and we talked about “Mean” Joe Green and that Coca-Cola commercial,” he said. “I told him how cool it is to see so many people getting their pictures taken with the statue of him and the catch at the Pittsburgh International Airport, and he said, ‘It still blows my mind that people remember that,’ but that’s just an example of how unassuming as you could possibly be while sitting there a legend as he is and forever will be.”For many reasons, the Rooneys bestowed the greatest running back in Steelers history with its top honor, but it will be the “Immaculate Reception’ that will receive most of the attention this Christmas Eve.“I did ask him about ‘The Catch’ and I asked him how much he thought about it,” Fahey reported. “He said, ‘What’s unbelievable is that I have no recollection whatsoever until I hit the end zone.’ He said when he’s tried to think about it, every time he comes up with nothing. He said, ‘I’m sure it was all instinctual, but I just remember hitting the end zone and wondering what in the world just happened.’“The one thing I didn’t ask him is if he really caught the ball because that’s been a point of contention since, especially with Oakland fans,” he said. “We’re just very saddened by his passing, not just because we had the chance to spend time with him recently, but because of what he stood for and what he did for the Pittsburgh Passion.”
