Stories overheard in a North Portland store...Part 2

1. A mom and her 4-5 year old daughter, who was named Robbie, shopping the marked down Christmas sales.
Mom: “Hey Robbie, remember when you wanted to find dad the perfect gift? I think I found it, come here.”
Robbie walks over and proclaims, “Fu** yeah!”
Mom: “Robbie, remember what your dad and I ask for Christmas? We asked for you to stop using that language.”
Robbie: “Christmas is over.”
The two continue shopping.
Robbie: “I want Taco Bell.”
Mom: “You know Taco Bell gives me the sh*ts.”
The two continue to look around.
Mom: “I think I found you the perfect gift. Better than that sh** your dad bought you.”

 
2. A very large woman walks up the counter and is looking to return an item.
Woman: “I need to return this bra.”
Cashier (who is female): “What bra?”
The lady pulls down the front of her shirt.
Cashier: “The bra you’re wearing? Sorry, but we don’t sell bras.”
Woman: “I need to return this. My stupid idiot of a man bought this for me and it makes me look fat.”
Cashier: “I’m sorry but we can’t return items that we don’t sell.”
Woman: “Get me the manager.”
The manager (who is male) comes over to help.
Manager: “How can I help you?”
Woman: “I need to return this bra right here.” She unbuttons part of her shirt, which looks to fluster the manager.
Manager: “We don’t sell bras, and so there would be no way for us to return it.”
Woman: “Look! My dumbass of a man bough me this and it doesn’t fit me right. It pushes everything out making me look fat. Now I need to return it.”
Manager: “Can you call and ask your husband where he bought it?”
Woman: “Sh**, he ain’t my husband. He don’t shop nowhere else.”
The lady calls and puts the phone on speaker. The guys on the other end answers.
Woman: “They ain’t letting me return this stupid ass bra. Where you buy it?”
Guy: “At the mall.”
Woman: “Where in the mall?”
Guy: “At the lingerie store.”
Woman: “You know my big ass t*tt*es ain’t fitting in no Victoria Secret.”
Guy: “I didn’t get it at Victoria Secret.”
Woman: “Where did you get it then?”
Guy: “At the big lady store.”
Woman: “Bit**, where did you get the fu**ing money to be shopping at the mall? Sh**!” She hangs up the phone. She returns talking the store employees, “Can I return this or what?”
Manager: “We don’t sell bras, and so there would be no way for us to return it.”
Woman: “Mutha fu**ing Walmart returns things that weren’t bought there.”
Manager: “Sorry ma’am.”
Woman: “I’m calling corporate on y’all’s asses.” She storms out of the store mumbling loudly, but undecipherable.


Stories overheard in a North Portland store...Part 1

1. A man is shopping with his 3-4 year old daughter:
Daughter: “I know where the slippers are. Do you want me to show you?”
Dad: “You do?”
Daughter: “Me and Mommy came her yesterday to buy some.”


2. A guy, with his wife/girlfriend, talking on a cellphone to his drug supplier (I could only hear one side of the conversation):
“Is Ricky there?”
“Put him on right quick.”
“Hey do you have that weed I need?”
“How much can I get right now?”
“Do you have that other sh** cut.”
“Me and “T” are at the store right now, but we’ll be there right quick.”

3. A guy comes in to use the bathroom (the bathrooms are key coded):
Guy: “Can I use the bathroom?”
Employee: “Are you a customer?”
Guy: “No!”
Employee: “The…”
Guy: “If it was dark out I wouldn’t be in here asking if you know what I mean.”
The employee showed him back to the restroom area.

Tres Shannon of Voodoo Doughnut Joins Chris Allred’s Lemon Cake Initiative

Tres Shannon, co-founder and owner of Voodoo Doughnut, is by all definitions his own person. Everything he does is because he wants to do it, which honestly is something that all of dream about (maybe even talk about), but never have what it takes to make it happen. Tres is a person that others should envy (Note: don’t envy anyone…be happy with who you are and what you have).

I met with Tres a couple of times, and the 2nd time was to get him on camera eating my lemon cake. Was I nervous having the doughnut king eat my lemon cake? Not at all, because I know that they’ll stand up to any scrutiny.

The truth is he ate all of what I brought, which is and will always be the biggest of all compliments. Thank you sir!!!

Tres really is fantastic, but don’t try to use social media or pretty much anything internet related to reach out to him because he is purposely old school and doesn’t use all of that. Why…because he’s Tres Shannon and he actually does what he wants because he can.

See who else is supporting the lemon cake initiative:

Jason “Jay” Mewes Joins Chris Allred’s Lemon Cake Initiative

I swear that Jay doesn’t change, except for the facial hair and being…well…older. Not old, but older than when Jay and Silent Bob found their way into everyone’s homes.

Jason Me
wes is as real as they come. Before I got him on camera he came out to meet us while zipping up his pants (just came out of the restroom). I was told that he makes working on the set interesting, like his ability to fart during filming (I tried to get him to do it during our filming but he said he doesn’t do it on cue…oh well).

All around great guy, and I can say that because he’s not a huge sweets fan and doesn’t really like lemon (true or not?); nevertheless he straight up endorsed my lemon cake as if it was the best thing ever. Now that’s an actor!!!!

Check out Jason Mewes as Jay as you’re waiting for the release of “Deet N Bax Save the World”.

Weston Coppola Cage Joins Chris Allred’s Lemon Cake Initiative

Weston Coppola Cage is far more than “just the son” of actor Nicolas Cage. Wes is an accomplished musician and actor, who can stand on his own two feet perfectly fine.

Honestly, the man is intense…his presence is powerful and he commands
the room. However, he is also very nice and easy to talk to (granted you have to get past being timid if you’re that sort of person because his intense nature will intimidate you).

It was an honor meeting and talking with Wes and Danielle, his wife, during and after my Lemon Cake Initiative. They are great people, and I know that we will be seeing a lot more from Mr. Cage (the son, not the old man). So stay tuned…

Dear haters…

Question: Why do you keep your videos raw and uncut?

I do my videos the way that I do them for a purpose. I want them “raw” because that’s how people really are. I do edit something’s (like you picking your nose, but I’ll keep it in there
next time), but I want to keep the person and the experience just as they are. If you don’t like how you look in my video, then don’t leave the house, because that is how you really look.

Question: Don’t you know how to edit?

Yes! Am I the best? Not at all. My skills are limited, but I have the skills and resources to do more if I choose to. I keep my videos the way that I do for a very specific purpose, and that is that the world is fake; as in Photoshop and CGI.

I know this sucky-ass photographer without any real skill or an eye for it; however their Photoshop skills are absolutely amazing…the people in the photos look nothing like the real person. I also know a few video editors that alter images all of the time. It is common these days, and I am tired of it.

Question: Why isn’t your stuff “pretty” like other people’s stuff?

The name of my cooking show is “Rustic Eats”, and it is called that because I focus on the food. Can I make “pretty” food? Hell yeah I can (I have both the patience and the skills to make food “pretty”), but I don’t (it’s not ugly though either). The food in magazines isn’t real; it is painted and inedible (for the most part); similar to the damn Photoshop photos.

MY ISSUE…If you don’t like my stuff, then don’t be a part of it; however, the people complaining aren’t associated with my Lemon Cake Initiative (or my show), nor will they ever be. I have never reached out to them, never thought about reaching out to them, but they open their mouths up anyways. They have no idea what is going on, and they probably don’t care except for the fact that I make them feel bad for them having no skills. They’re no talent wannabes. I’m not the best, I’ll admit that, but I am doing what I want with what I have; and I am proud of who I am, what I am doing, and the people I have been working with.

Look…I love Photoshop and use it for lots of things, but there is a time and a place for it; just like there is a time and place for CGI and editing alterations. Unfortunately it is way over used, mostly to hide the shortcomings of the photographer. My videos might not be the best quality, but they are how I want them. The people are real, the subject matter is real, and you get to see the “real” person.


http://chrisallreddesign.com/

…love to everyone else

MUCH LOVE TO EVERYONE ELSE…The people that have supported me, helped me, worked with me, and have been part of this journey are the absolute best. The folks that watch the videos and share their thoughts are fantastic. We have a long way to go, and a lot of great stuff coming up. Thank you!!

“Deet N Bax” Eat Lemon Cake - Video Slideshow

Since my videos of the cast and crew of “Deet N Bax Save the World” are still in their stupid “I don’t want to play” corrupted state of being I have no choice but to put out a video slideshow of pics.

(Damn…I even spelled Craig’s name wrong…this project must be cursed (if I believed in such things))

Interstellar Movie Review

 Interstellar” is a fantastic movie, and although the movie is not at all fast paced, the 3 hour flick flew by leaving me wanting more.

This is one of those things that people could debate forever, and never come up with the “right” answer. Who are “they”? Is it us…is it God? The science of the movie is remarkable, but the child-parent relationship is even stronger and more emotional than I would have thought.

I don’t say this a lot, but every member of the cast was perfect. They were the perfect actors for their roles, and they portrayed their characters very well.

Spoiler Alert Questions:

In real life, who would really win the fights of: Matthew McConaughey-vs-Matt Damon and Casey Afleck-vs-Topher Grace?

Black hole? Gravity? 5th dimension? Religion? God-vs-no God? This movie is and will be an all-time great.

I seriously cannot say enough about this movie because I absolutely loved it. I give this movie two gigantic thumbs up, and I recommend seeing this in theaters.

John Wick Movie Review

 “John Wick” is a pretty bad-ass action flick. Don’t get me wrong…it is cheesy, violent, and a straight rip off of anything that Jason Statham would star in (including the lack of dialog from the main character…very Statham like); however, that is why people love these movies.

“Are you saying that John Wick is the boogeyman?”

“No…he’s who you send to hunt the boogeyman.”

Keanu Reeves is Keanu Reeves, but this role fits him. Keanu is not a great actor…at all, but I don’t care because he is one of those people that I give a pass to because I like him so much.

SPOILER…everybody dies…even the dog.

There is one simple fact that could make this film a game changer for the entire action genre, and set “John Wick” up as one the greatest action movies ever…and that fact is…everyone dies (wait…I just said that in the spoiler alert…wait…keep reading).

Most every movie of this type (possibly every action movie ever made) has the same formula that never made sense to me, and that is...not everyone dies.

Hero goes in and shoots a couple guys…they die.
Hero flips another guy over his shoulder…never see the guy again (not dead though).
Hero shoots another guy…dead.
Hero punches or kicks another guy or two…never see them again (not dead though).

This is where “John Wick” is different.

JW goes in and shoots a couple guys…they die.
JW flips another guy over his shoulder…then shoots them…they die.
JW shoots another guy…dead.
JW punches or kicks another guy or two…then shoots them…they die.

Seriously…there was no baddy escaping this movie, and that is what separates this film from all of the others.

That point alone is fantastic, but not enough to totally save the movie. I give “John Wick” one thumb up, and I recommend you wait to see it when it is released on DVD.

Jerry Bell Jr. Loves Lemon Cake


Jerry Bell Jr. is a very talented actor, and has a great attitude towards life. Jerry is one of those people that inspires you to do more with your life.

Jerry is an actor, model, director, producer, highly educated, and he served in the U.S. military…tell me what is not to love about this guy…he is a freaking god among men.

How Does DJ Cowboy Eat Lemon Cake?

The one, the only, the first...The Original DJ Cowboy.

What can you say about this man? He actually knows everyone. He does everything. He is an accomplished actor. He is part of the music scene. He makes appearances, opens clubs, is known far and wide, and the biggest of all of his accomplishments is being so successful at what he does that others copy him. Imitation is the biggest form of flattery (it also sucks). There are people out there taking his name, stealing his act, pretending to be him…but when all the smoke clears and the BS is pushed aside…it is clear who the real is, and who are just pretending.

DJ Cowboy is the real deal, and he knows how to throw down a lemon cake.

Byron Beck Eats Lemon Cake on Camera

Byron Beck knows absolutely everything about what is going on in our little part of the world. Nothing gets by him…not a celebrity…not an event. This is the person to know because A-listers search him out.

Byron Beck joined the Lemon Cake Initiative and ate lemon cake, even though his dad told him to never eat on camera (thank you for disobeying your dad).

Byron is the real deal, and that is part of what makes him great at what he does. Thank you sir for helping me out and taking the time to do so.

Tommy Habetz Joins the Lemon Cake Initiative

If you don’t know who Tommy Habetz is then you better get your head out of your ass and wake up. Tommy was a chef before being a chef was “cool”, and now he is the most laid back down-to-earth person you would ever meet. Is he famous? Hell yeah he is. Then why isn’t he on TV? Because he chooses not to be.

Think about it? Chef Habetz successfully worked alongside Bobby Flay, Mario Batali, Joe Bastianich…he is the freaking man. Forget the TV personalities though, because Chef Tommy can stand on his own two feet.

Out of everyone that has helped me on my Lemon Cake Initiative; Tommy Habetz is the one person that I wanted to say yes more than anyone (no offence to everyone else that has helped me). Realistically I wanted/needed a chef of Tommy’s caliber to validate my cooking, which he did and I have been on “Cloud 9” ever since.

If you are in the Portland, OR area and you haven’t been to BUNK then you need to go. In fact…put it on your bucket list and make a trip to this part of the world just to eat Tommy’s food (I’m sure there are other things to do here as well…just not as tasty).

Tod Foulk and Party Eat Lemon Cake

FASHION LEGEND ICON…who do you think of when you hear those words? If Tod Foulk isn’t on your list…well then you are stupid, because Tod is the man that helps keep us beautiful.

Tod Foulk is a legend, and even though my Lemon Cake Initiative doesn’t really have anything to do with the world of fashion…Tod said screw it, let’s do it anyways.

This video is just a glimpse into the celebration that is Tod’s life. We could have filmed for hours. The best part of the night was actually sharing my lemon cakes with a few “starving” women who were actually hungry (and since they already fit into their dresses I have to assume…“why not”).

Tod Foulk loves life and it shows.

Dave Owen & Drunken Dave Eat Lemon Cake!!!!

Check out my cameo in this video…

Director and Producer Dave Owen tried some of my lemon cake on camera to show his support for the Chris Allred Lemon Cake Initiative.

Unfortunately any love I had for the guy went out the window after her called Drunken Dave over and then took off…literally left me there with him for an hour (maybe I rounded it up to the nearest hour…who knows).

Then my family ditches me. I don’t know how many songs Drunken Dave sang to me. I think he kissed me 3 times. Hugged me about 100 times. He showed me pictures of him and his wife (also called driver’s licenses). Explained horse racing, car racing, and movie making to me.

Drunken Dave had a lot of great adventures in life and a bunch of exciting stories. The moral of the story is you never know who you will meet; like I met Drunken Dave, the son of the founder of Warner Bros.

Seriously…I love Dave Owen. He is a great and talented person. If you haven’t seen any of his stuff, check out his page, find what he has done, and then go and watch.

Back Alley Barbers Live in the Cemetery

The Back Alley Barbers is the greatest band that I have ever hung out with in a cemetery…hands down the best. Maybe I can get them to put a subliminal message in their music so that everyone will crave my lemon cakes.

Hanging with the Barbers gave me an appreciation for them, not only as a band, but as individuals. They really enjoy what they do, and it’s apparent.

If you haven’t checked them out…please do. Save up your pennies and go buy their new album “Memento Mori”.

Move over John Wayne…my lemon cakes are coming to town.


Terry Tate and "THE OLD PUEBLO GUNFIGHTER'S" down in AZ did me right by filming a real deal Western for my lemon cakes.

I don’t know what I am more proud of…that something I created got to star in a Western, or that the lemon cakes survived the Pony Express down to AZ.

 

My lemon cakes are the real deal…no matter if they’re my standard recipe or GF...

What a fabulous day…I had a GF lemon cake video/photo shoot with actor Todd Robinson and then ended the day with another video/photo shoot with the band Back Alley Barbers.

The KILLER BURGER crew eating up some lemon cakes...


These are some of the photos that we took while hanging with the folks that make the world’s best burgers. I turned the pics B&W because I feel it gives a classic look…and it just happens that “The Classic” is my favorite burger at KB…what can I say, I’m old school.

Thank you Killer Burger for doing your part in letting the world know that when it comes to lemon cake…you don’t share. Much love to the best burger joint around!!!!

I need your help raising awareness. Did you that the average American has never tasted the “world’s best lemon cake”? It is hard to imagine a world without lemon cake, but that’s what is happening in your neighborhood, in your town; lemon cake deprivation.

Lucy Movie Review

 “Lucy” was not what I was expecting…at all. “Lucy” is what you get when you give the Discovery Channel $40 million to go make a movie.

What…are you telling me that the Discovery Channel didn’t make this movie?  Some executives over there better be suing somebody, because Hollywood just ripped off their format.

One of the stupidest movies ever; however, if they did play “Lucy” on Discovery, or even the History or National Geographic Channel, then I would be happy to watch it and probably give it great reviews, because that is where it belongs.

Did I mention that the movie was stupid? “Lucy” was one of the movies that I was looking forward to watching, and I had high hopes for it. Come on…the previews looked great!

Nevertheless the movie failed, it did not bring anything new or exciting to the world, and the actors (who are usually great) failed to impress. It was almost like the actors slept through filming because they shared thoughts similar to mine, except they got a fat pay check for being part of it.

Any time you get the feeling that the people on the film are not fully committed; it may be time to cut your losses and run. With that I give “Lucy” two thumbs way down, and I recommend you wait to see it when it comes out on TV. NOTE: Don’t be surprised when this film comes out on television and it airs on one of those above channels. Maybe PBS will air it…who knows?

Dawn of the Planet of the Apes Movie Review

 “Dawn of the Planet of the Apes” (say that 10 times fast…it’s a mouthful) is a needed and necessary link, but also un-needed and ridiculous at the same time.
Must every Caesar have his Brutus? (Obviously there was more than one Caesar, but that would take away from my point)
Caesar is a good person…err…ape, and the leading man (who is not Gary Oldman, nor an ape) is also a good person; however and whatever their struggles and differences are, they cannot stop the future from happening. Not a spoiler alert…there have been many “Planet of the Apes” movies over the last few decades, and seeing any of them (except maybe the prequel to this one) will tell you…it doesn’t turn out to well for the humans.
James Franco’s character had his part to play in the progression of the movie, although James Franco himself is not actually in the movie (the people behind the making of films are sly folks).
“Dawn of the Planet of the Apes” has its purpose, and it really does explain the lead up to what will eventually happen; however, the movie itself sucked and wasn’t that good. EXAMPLE: Gary Oldman had absolutely no purpose in the movie. Remove his character and the movie wouldn’t be any different. That should be a crime, because Mr. Oldman is one of the greatest actors of our time; he has range, he has depth, and he can actually act. It’s sad, but it helps prove my point that the movie sucks.
I give this movie two opposable thumbs down, and I recommend you wait to see it when it comes out on TV.

PLEASE HELP!

PLEASE HELP! It’s an all or nothing kind of gig. Spread the word
…donate a dollar…share an encouraging message.

If everyone in the world gave me $1 I’d be a billionaire. If everyone I knew gave me $1 I’d be doing ok. If everyone who liked me gave me $1 I’d owe people money (not really because everyone loves me).
