It seems businessman extraordinaire Charles Oakley is attempting to venture out and add to his car wash empire
by getting into the culinary world.
What on earth would Oak prepare in the kitchen, you ask? You guessed it, duck confit with a balsamic emulsion. Just kidding. Like us, Oak’s all about the short ribs. Allow Yahoo’s J.E. Skeets to explain. (hat tip to the hype guy for the picture.)
“Oakley is executive producing and starring as the cook on a TV show he’s trying to pitch called “Café Oakley,” and last night’s screening featured three episodes (one of which guest starred John Starks).
Oakley cooked Oak’s Fried Chicken and Macaroni Salad in the first episode, followed by Oak’s Pasta, Sauce and Sausages in the second, and Oak’s Smothered Steak and Rice in the third. “Hopefully we’ll get some calls about it,” Oakley said. “I’d give it an 8.5 out of 10.”
Not sure how much Oak knows in the kitchen, but I’m sure he’s had a chance or two to cook for a lady friend…speaking of ribs, enjoy Chris Rock’s acting debut in 1988′s “I’m Gonna Git you Sucka.”
Finger point for the pass from Double B.
Charles Oakley has been very outspoken recently about his desire to see the organization hire Herb Williams.
“[Williams] would bring just as much as Lenny Wilkens brought here. More than Isiah. No question,” Oakley said. “All he needs is a chance. I think they should give him a chance because every time they’ve asked him to do something, he’s done it over the years. Interim coach, he’s done it. Coached after the season, he’s done it. So what’s left besides giving him a chance?
“I think that you should start with what you’ve got here and take a good look. He’s been there every time you called. You got sick, he went and got the medicine to make you better.”
No one’s a bigger Oak fan than I am, I mean I drive 20 minutes to one of his car washes to get a cleaning for crying out loud. He is one of my NY sports heroes. That said, what on earth did Lenny Wilkens do for the Knicks? I dunno. I love Herb, but if he gets passed over here I think it’s time for him to move on, for his sake. I think he’s a head coach in this league, I just think he has to get his suits dry cleaned to remove the filth and stains of the Isiah era, which may take some time and hamper his head coaching chances.
