I was biking home at about 10:30 last night from a boat trip on a pal's cruiser (more on that later) when I had to stop at a traffic light and noticed a poncy little dandy putt putting away right next to me on a motor scooter. I was sweaty from pushing my gears and trying to hit accelerated MPH's on my decade old bike, and silently scoffed at the sear-sucker wearing, Vespa cruising metrosexual with the perfect hair toting the smooth and buttery leather attache case perched on the scooter's rear.
And, of course, it turned out to be none other than the dandiest of Milwaukee dandies, Kyle Cherek.
Kyle is a friend, and I don't think he'll mind me saying he's the queen bee of all Milwaukee dandies. Bumping into that rouge did make me think of his Wisconsin Foodie stint on WISN earlier in the spring (what's happening with this thing, anyone know?). If you haven't seen it, I'm posting a clip today. You may not learn much about food, but you will learn that Kyle knows how to wear a three quarter cut coat and overpriced glasses like no one else in town.
I write. You read. Everyone is happy.
4 smart alecky remarks:
When are you going to tell us about the boat trip on your pal's cruiser? You said, "more on that later." Just wondering.
Coming, coming. I'm a sloth sometimes.
I just came across this post and although I find it totally offensive and a waste of keyboard typing time, I thought I would answer your question and clarify something.
Wisconsin Foodie is in the middle of production for it's 2nd season, set to premiere 11/29 on Channel 12 @ 11:30 (13 new episodes).
While I'm sure Kyle would love the fact you are helping spread the word about Wisconsin Foodie, I'm also sure he wouldn't appreciate your derogatory comments. He takes a lot of pride in his appearance and his personal style, which I wished more wisconsinites cared about.
Personally, as the creator of the show I don't appreciate your ignorance about "not learning anything about food" on the show. We pride our selfs on creating a dialogue in the community about eating local, supporting local farms and CSA's and really understanding where your food comes from and who is making it. That is our goal and we work very hard to get that message out! Maybe you should watch the show before you comment on the content.
I think before you comment on "dandies" you should really think about changing the picture at the top of this blog!
Thanks for pay attention!
Art. I'll call you Art, okay. I love Kyle. I love food. I'm fat, Kyle can tell you that. Maybe I'll love your show. Send me more info and I'll perpetrate more "waste of keyboard typing time" on it. You can shoot that stuff to me at jonathanwest@artsyschmartsy.com. When did it get to be a bad thing to be called a dandy? Sheesh...
