Foodman: The Definitive Interview

2009-09-02T15:10:00.000-07:00

Exactly when did you realize you had a penchant for consuming a lot of food?

I realized as a very young child that I had the appetite of a mountain man. My brother and cousins were pretty poor eaters on a regular basis. So when it was time to eat dinner at my grandmother's house, the family authority would usually ask if you wanted to be a part of a ficticious society called the "Clean Plate Club". I first realized that my appetite was somewhat strange when I never formally needed an ivitation to join. I could never understand why my siblings moved the food around the plate looking for a place to hide it all. From meats to sweets, my plate was always clean and ready for another round. In retrospect, I should have been pronounced the CEO or President of the club.

If you were on death row what would your final meal of choice be before being executed?
I would want my grandmother to make Pot Roast with butter noodles, carrots, gravy, white bread and butter, one 2 liter of coke. I would eat and drink it very slowly. (NEVER Bolt!)

Oftentimes, on tour, members of The Black Hollies hear you employ certain phrases after eating, or in between meals, which describe various functions going on inside of your body. Can you shed some light on the meanings of the following terms, the bottle (pronounced bah-uhl), the inverted crucifix, bolting, rooping, salt bath, sweet bomb, alkalizing, and any other important terms I may have left out?

The Bottle is a painful sensation in the chest that feels like a soda bottle is trapped in your lungs. This sensation is usually associted with dreadful food combinations such as pizza and coffee.

The Inverted Crucifix usually occurs when you consume something with an acid kick back. It then gives you a phenomenon similar to post nasal drip. However, the drip is more like a web being made by four invisible spiders. One spider appears to be in the larynx, two in the armpits, and one in the stomach. The four all join webs to make up what feels like an inverted crucifix. One way to purposefully attain this phenomenon is by eating two packs of caramel twix before going to bed. Good Luck!

Bolting is the act of consuming food in a quick manner. The adverse effects are more to list. Let's just say that indigestion is never fun. Properly chewing the unhealthiest of foods is better for the human body than bolting down the healthiest of foods. Bolting hot foods down with cold liquids (the ultimate sin), can give you multiple problems including violent rooping, the inverted crucifix, 42% chance of getting the bottle. You may even have an instant sneeze-fest. NO BOLTING!

Rooping (rup!) is the reaction to something making you nauseous. It is a sound associated with dry heaves and bouts of stomach un-ease stemming from an action, food or smell which may disgust you. Other words that can be used in place of Roop such as Hop, Reep, or Bop.

Simply, a salt bath is when a food is bathed in too much salt. Depending on the shape, weight and size of the product being consumed, "bath" can be replaced by words such as bake, log, stash, dog, or hunk.

A Sweet Bomb is anything ladened with sugar in any form. For example, "I'm gonna follow up my General Tso's chicken by sucking down a sweet bomb!" The sweet bomb in this situation is specifically a can of coke for Foodman. Cookies, cakes, pastries, and donuts are classic foods in the Sweet Bomb category.

I'd describe your style of eating as the perfect synthesis of what it means to simultaneously be a truck driver/mountain man and a buddhist monk. I also notice that you pay close attention to which foods you pair together for consumption. Is this something you strive for intentionally as the key to dietary survival whilst on the road or are these pairings just a matter of coincidence?

Proper food combining is the pairing of foods from different groups that properly break down together to ensure smooth sailing digestion. An example of a good combination is a protein and vegetable or a berry(fruit) and avocado (protein/fat). Generally, grain/starch should NEVER be combined with heavy protein. Tofu and lentils are permissible. Eating this way encourages you to pile on the quantity (mountain man style) while keeping a sound foundation (buddha). Nothing is coincidence. Most of what Foodman consumes on the road doesn't have enought time for pre-meditation. However, while seldom knowing where my next meal will be during travel, each meal synchronistically matches what my tastebuds desire.

What do you think of the show Man v.s. Food?

Foodman normally does not watch T.V. these days. However, one night while staying in a hotel, I caught an episode of Man vs. Food. My eyes were glued to the set as my tears ducts filled with tears. I felt crushed when I saw how much food this man could consume. However, it wasn't until a few minutes later that I realized that this is not a competetive feild for me. I love food more than the average person and get to travel around the world with my guitar, an all-day-buffet, and a good amount of stomache-ease tea. That aint so bad after all.

Any closing words of wisdom to offer?

I actually have a few messages for my audience. Please do meditate on these:
1. Everything has it's place, but when you waste food at the cost of your true happiness it is not good.
2. No matter how hard you work, never go to sleep without giving food the deepest attention.
3. Sorrow, illness, and failure are natural results of transgressions against the laws of food combining.
4. NEVER BOLT!

Can you please share with us your recipe for vegan lasagna?

I will reveal my recipe for the lasagna on the Foodman blog very soon. This will sort of be my vegan recipe "single" before my "full length" cookbook is ready for release. For those who may be curious, the book will be entitled 'The Foodman Cookery: Off The Road And Onto Your Plate." The book comes with a cd of music composed and recorded by myself which can be used while cooking or eating your meal of choice. A song from the cd will be featured on Diary Of A Foodman soon so please keep your eyes open and your stomachs filled!

For this strong opening entry Foodman quotes Voltaire, “ Nothing would be more tiresome than eating and drinking if God had not made them a pleasure as well as a necessity.”

May 31 – June 5
This time is spent in Montreal and Toronto where Foodman subsists solely on Tim Horton’s. In Burlington, VT Foodman visits the original Ben and Jerry’s and goes deep on some ice cream. This week is dubbed, “the lost week,” which eventually leads to the entire tour being dubbed, “Foodman’s Lost Tour.” Foodman hits a roadblock toward the final leg around St. Paul, MN, where he is stricken down with an unknown illness that results in a serious curbing of his appetite and henceforth an absence of “logs,” or a lagging with the logging, if you will. The Black Hollies try to light a fire under Foodman insuring him that he is inadvertently letting down his minions by being remiss in his duty of keeping track of his own consumption. We say, “Foodman, we can’t eat the food for you. We can't write your destiny. Your destiny is not written for you, but by you. Please, keep track of what you eat,” and after a couple days we give up, considering it a lost cause. You can’t force a man to be a food star. He has to want it. He has to be hungry for it. As compensation to all the dedicated fans of Foodman I thought it a good idea to get to the bottom of this and interview the man behind the food, Herbert Joseph Wiley V himself, to find out what went wrong on this lost tour, to inquire about when he discovered his natural talent for consuming, and to learn some of the meaning behind his unique vernacular pertaining to certain digestion phenomena. So here we have the remnants of Foodman’s Lost Tour Part I, entries from June 6 to June 17 without daily quotes, a shame I know, but honest nonetheless, and worthy of consideration because this short stint contains some heavy hitting entries. Also, please keep in mind that Foodman gets ill for about a week and just doesn’t have the strength to log. His illness starts around June 11, peaks around June 17, and ends around June 24 while the first tour ends on June 28.

On May 12, 2008, Herbert Joseph Wiley V states, "To enter a drive through on foot is as productive as talking to a wall."

*A late night incident occurs while Wiley attempts to satisfy a late night craving at a McDonald's drive through. First, Wiley attempts to go through on foot because the restaurant portion of the McDonald's is way passed closed. Palestinian Bluetooth is busy gassing up. So, Wiley attempts to kill two birds with one stone as none of the other band members desire a late night McDonald's bomb. Wiley's order on foot is met with deaf ears. The band gives it a second try, this time with Wiley behind the wheel using the traditional drive-thru ordering method. Upon receiving his order I document his purchase photographing him receiving change from the McDonald's employee. Wiley gets a bad vibe and claims that the employee senses funny business, finds the photo op to be not only off-putting but offensive, and will undoubtedly follow up by spitting on his burger and garnishing it with ass-hairs. The other band members cite this as paranoia and attempt to coax Wiley into consuming the burgers under consideration. Wiley refuses and for the first time in Diary of a Foodman history declines consumption leaving two burgers for dead on top of the van's dashboard throughout the entire night. Diary of a Foodman eases Wiley's paranoia by immediately destroying the controversial photographs.

On May 9, 2008, Herbert Joseph Wiley V states, "Eat in silence; Don't spend precious time and energy in idle talk."

A noteworthy incident occurs today bewteen Wiley and Gabriel, our waiter at Denny's. Wiley orders what he hopes is a Mushroom, Swiss, & Onion Boca Burger. Upon first taste Wiley questions the validity of said soy based patty. He believes he bites into a decoy, "Really," Wiley insists, "This is a meat burger." Wiley brings this to the attention of Gabriel. At first Gabriel is receptive to Wiley's gripe but then has a sudden change of heart. After a quick return from the kitchen, Gabriel goes head to head with our beloved Foodman. Gabriel asserts that the patty Wiley is currently putting on ice is indeed a Boca Burger and that Wiley's inclination is in err. Wiley then proceeds to rethink his initial hypothesis. With a sniff and a nibble Foodman concludes that the patty is in fact a Boca Burger. Thanks for taking Wiley to Food Court Gabriel. You made our day by sentencing The Foodman to 5 - 10 minutes in Food Jail on account of consumption bearing Food 'Tude. Although, the group believes Wiley is released on good behavior.

On May, 6, 2008, HJWV states, "Don't bite of more than you can chew."

Also worth a mention is the band's stop at Next Door Deli in Cleveland, OH, located at 1020 Kenilworth Avenue. Next Door Deli proprietor, Jeremy Cobb, is proud to be operating what he hopes will be Cleveland's first "green" restaurant. When talking with Cobb he mentions that Next Door uses only bio-degradable utensils and no styrofoam products. Cobb goes as far as to investigate the option of customer's picking up their pies in reusable pizza boxes. Cobb notes that there are seven existing patents for the reusable pizza box but none manufactured. All deliveries are made by bicycle. Cobb makes all of his sausage homeade using organics meats. He allows the band to sample some slices and the verdict is in.

Four Black Hollies agree that Next Door Deli is righteous and that Cobb is a true gentleman!

If you go for a late note soak-up please be wary that unruly or drunken insolent behavior is rewarded with a "Cobb Salad" free of charge. This entails Cobb himself giving said customer the proverbial toss.

Leia, a talented chef, classically trained flutist, and frontwoman for Aunt Eater over at Beachland teaches Wiley how to make a Deep Fried Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwich.

Crunchy Peanut Butter
Jelly Of Choice
Quarter Slices of Wheat
Pancake Batter
Vegetable Oil
Powedered Sugar

Quarter the sandwich.
Dip quarters into batter.
When oil is ready immerse PB&J quarters in oil.
In order to check whether the oil is the correct temperature dip a small amount of batter in oil. If it rises immediately oil is ready. Fry until PB&J quarters rise to the top and get a nice color.
Garnish with powdered sugar.
This recipe is passed on from former Cleveland staple, The Town Fryer.
The Black Hollies would like to thank Leia for lending her wisdom.
