Episode #96 confirms what we always say, "Baseball and BBQ goes as perfectly together as chocolate and peanut butter in a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup."George Georgiades is back for the second half of our wonderfully entertaining conversation and he appears to have saved the best for last.  Part two will have you thoroughly entertained as we hear more stories from a chef who specializes in Greek food, but has also opened a restaurant specializing in pizza.  This restaurant is in addition to his many locations for Eons.  Listen as George talks about his many adventures in the restaurant business, some working out better than others.  He also shares a story of a television cooking show contest in which he broke his own rule of "KISS" and the results were not in his favor.  This is one of the interviews which, when it ends, you will wish there was a part three.Andrew Maraniss is the author of Singled Out:  The True Story of Glenn Burke.  As a New York Times best-selling author, Andrew writes books that make you think, feel, and learn. Glenn Burke was the first openly gay Major League Baseball player, who, while not coming out publicly until his playing days were over, his sexuality was known to his teammates, family, and friends.  He also was the inventor of the high five.  We had the pleasure of discussing this book and learning about a player who made his biggest impact off the field.  Andrew is a Visiting Author at Vanderbilt University Athletics and a contributor to ESPN’s TheUndefeated.com. He has appeared on several national media programs, including NPR’s All Things Considered and Only A Game, NBC’s Meet The Press, MSNBC’s Morning Joe, ESPN’s Keith Olbermann Show, ESPN Radio’s The Sporting Life, and the SEC Network’s Paul Finebaum ShowBaseball debates are usually fun and on this episode Jeff and Leonard bring in friend of the show, Gary Mack to be, what we hope is an impartial judge.  Listen and tell us your opinions.We conclude the show with the beautiful song, "Ace and Bobo" from the musician, Dave Dresser and the poet, Shel Krakofsky.We recommend you go to Fifth &amp; Cherry, https://fifthandcherry.com for wonderful cutting boards and http://www.baseballbbq.com for grill tools and clothing for barbecue and baseball fans and the Pandemic Baseball Book Club, https://www.pbbclub.com  to find many of the wonderful books we have featured as well as some additional swag.We truly appreciate our listeners and hope that all of you are staying safe.If you would like to contact the show, we would love to hear from you.Call the show - (516) 855-8214Email - baseballandbbq@gmail.comTwitter - @baseballandbbqFacebook - baseball and bbqInstagram - baseballandbarbecueYouTube - baseball and bbqWebsite - http://baseballandbbq.weebly.com

Baseball and BBQ Episode #96:  Chef, George Georgiades Part 2 and Andrew Maraniss, author of Singled Out: The True Story of Glenn Burke

Lew Freedman

Episode 94's first half is about a baseball legend and then the 2nd half features a cook who may one day be considered a legendary chef, especially when it comes to Greek food.Lew Freedman is the author of Cy Young:  The Baseball Life and Career.  Pitchers who win the Cy Yong award are considered the best of the best, but other than knowing that Cy Young was a great pitcher with 511 regular season career wins, what else do you really know about Denton "Cy" Young?  Lew has written a book which is filled with fascinating information and wonderful stories about the pitcher against whom all other pitchers are measured.  Lew is a veteran newspaper sportswriter as well as an author of more than 75 books and has been the recipient of over 250 journalism awards.  He brought Cy Young to life for us and hopefully this interview and his book will do the same for you.George Georgiades is a chef who now specializes in Greek food, but to get there, he has had a past filled with numerous adventures.  George is a wonderfully entertaining guest whose many stories will make you hope the interview goes on and on.  That was our wish too and so we kept him talking as long as possible as he drank some wine and just like that we had enough to make this a two part episode.  In part one, George talks about his humble beginnings and the many influences that have shaped his cooking career, including his yia-yia.  Julia Child, octopus, washing machines, and so many other random fun things are all discussed. George talks about his wonderful restaurants, Eons.  We can't be certain, but George may have even offered us a job.  All this and more and it's only part one.We conclude the show with the beautiful song, "Baseball Always Brings You Home" from the musician, Dave Dresser and the poet, Shel Krakofsky.We recommend you go to Fifth &amp; Cherry, https://fifthandcherry.com for wonderful cutting boards  and http://www.baseballbbq.com for grill tools and clothing for barbecue and baseball fans, and the Pandemic Baseball Book Club, https://www.pbbclub.com  to find many of the wonderful books we have featured as well as some additional swag. We truly appreciate our listeners and hope that all of you are staying safe.If you would like to contact the show, we would love to hear from you.Call the show - (516) 855-8214Email - baseballandbbq@gmail.comTwitter - @baseballandbbqInstagram - baseballandbarbecueYouTube - baseball and bbqFacebook - baseball and bbqWebsite - https//baseballandbbq.weebly.com
