Hungry Monk quenches ‘Twilight’ actor to appear at Ak-Chin
‘Running Deer’ premieres at UltraStar June 1
thirsty Chandler
By Christina Fuoco-Karasinski
by K.M. Lang
The Hungry Monk, nestled in a strip mall beside
busy Chandler Boulevard, may look like a typical
neighborhood watering hole, but on a recent
Wednesday, with rush hour raging outside, the eatery
was packed with happy guests, all in on the secret.
“A lot of people have dubbed us a gastro-pub,”
explains Fieldstone Estates resident Jim Lolli, who owns
the Hungry Monk with his wife, Carol. “I can’t tell you
how many people literally come from the airport—they
fly into Phoenix and they’re off the plane and into the
Monk. We take great pride in knowing that people seek
us out.”
The Lollis opened their restaurant in 2008, leaving
their original franchise behind in 2010. They’ve worked
hard since to create an establishment that’s sports,
family and taste bud friendly, and their 28 taps—and
the rare and wonderful brews that come from them—
have given the eatery a respected name in the craft
beer community.
“Ratebeer.com, which is arguably the biggest beer
site on the planet, named us as the best craft beer bar
in Arizona,” says Jim. “We’ve got great relationships
with all the distributors, all the breweries, so we’re able
to get some beers that a lot of people can’t get. We
change the beer menu every day, so when you walk into
the Monk, you never know what you’re going to get.”
Jim, who calls himself “a good old boy from
Detroit,” grew to love craft beer in his home town,
and he’s watched with pleasure as Arizona’s own craft
beer scene has taken off. Still, The Hungry Monk’s
reputation isn’t built on beer alone. The eatery lures
food aficionados, as well, with superb dishes such as
“The Hungry Monk trippel.”
“We smoke our own pulled pork,” says Jim. “We take
a big slice of tavern ham, we pile the pulled pork on top
of it, and we cover it with bacon and serve it on Texas
see Hungry Monk page 46
Even though he starred as Seth Clearwater in the
“Twilight” trilogy, and is in production for “X-Men: Days
of Future Past,” actor Booboo Stewart is exceptionally
proud of the 25-minute short film “Running Deer.”
The movie, which premieres during a free event at
5 p.m. Sat., June 1, at UltraStar Multi-tainment Center
at Ak-Chin Circle, tells the story of a Native American
runner and his struggles before the biggest race of his
life. It also stars Tucson’s Jon Proudstar, an actor and
creator of the first Native American comic book, “Tribal
Force,” and Q’orianka Kilcher. Stewart and Proudstar
will be on hand for a Q&A after the premiere and, for a
short time, autograph and photograph opportunities.
“It was important to do ‘Running Deer,’” Stewart says.
“The story was incredible. When I was first contacted
to do it, I didn’t really want to do a short film. After
reading the script, it totally changed my mind. I said,
‘This is something I definitely have to do.’”
Stewart, who could say little about “X-Men,” explains
the filming of “Running Deer” was “one of the best
times” he’s ever had making a movie.
“Just working with Brent Ryan Green, our director,
and Jeff Goldberg, the writer/producer, the whole cast,
everyone put their hearts into it and really had a great
time. It’s a very cool experience.”
For longtime actor Proudstar, the filming of “Running
Deer” was a chance to portray his fellow Native
Americans in a positive light.
“It’s about this kid who’s definitely got some talent
in (track and field),” Proudstar says. “He’s stuck on the
reservation and he’s got a lot of decisions to make. He’s
caught up with this girl.
“What attracted me to this film is it’s about a father
and a son. This guy is trying to win his way back with
his son. He had a bout of alcoholism and he’s trying

toast. We serve it with Freddy G’s
BBQ Sauce. Freddy G is a local guy
in Chandler.”
Jim tries to use local ingredients
whenever possible, and focuses
“primarily on fresh, fresh
ingredients.”
“We’re known for our chicken
products—we use fresh chicken in
our bone-in wings, boneless wings
and tenders. We have fresh soups—
killer soups, as a matter of fact.
Probably our best-selling sandwich
is grilled ham. We take that same
big piece of tavern ham, throw it on
the grill. Then we take two pieces
of big cheddar cheese, pop that on
top, and we serve it on a hamburger
bun made out of pretzel dough.”
The Hungry Monk entertains
avid hockey, baseball, football and
soccer fans, and Jim and Carol work
hard to give back to the community
that supports them. Every
Wednesday, the Hungry Monk gives
back in another way by offering $3
craft beers all day long. The secret
is out.
The Hungry Monk, at 1760 W.
Chandler Blvd., opens daily at 11
a.m., and closes at midnight from
Sunday till Thursday, and at 1 a.m.
Friday and Saturday. To learn more,

to work his way back. I liked it because
it’s rare that films ever show Native
American males as a positive role model.
I’m a single father myself. It sort of rang
true to me. To play a positive native role
model was kind of awesome.”
Proudstar explains that most films
adopt stereotypical views of Native
Americans. Hollywood tends to dwell on
the negative instead of accentuating the
positive.
“That was a stage that definitely my
people went through,” says Proudstar,
who appeared as Lou Diamond Phillips’
stunt double in “Young Guns II.”
“It’s something we’re definitely
combatting, which is the alcoholism
and the drug addiction and domestic
violence. When you’re on the outside
looking in, you’re like, ‘Yeah, oh my God.
They’re all like that.’ That’s not true.
We’re not all like that. All of our stories
don’t have a horrendous ending.”
Proudstar wasn’t initially cast in the
film. He was consulted about his “day
job,” which is running a media program

for children. The casting director asked
if he had an 18-year-old actress to
audition for a role in “Running Deer.”
“Unfortunately, she didn’t get picked,”
he says. “He called me back and said,
‘Hey, we’re not going to be able to
use your student, but one of the lead
characters had to bow out of the film,
so I recommended you. That was on a
Wednesday. On Thursday, he calls me
and says they want to book me and I had
to be out there on Friday. It all happened
pretty quickly.”
Like Stewart, Proudstar beams when
he talks about the experience.
“The production was really
professionally run and getting to meet
Booboo was really neat. He’s a really
cool kid and we became really good
friends, actually.”

Chandler, Ojo Rojo Lions merge
The Chandler Lions, who have served
the community since 1939, and the Ojo
Rojo Lions, also known as the Red Eye
morning club, have just completed a
merger to better serve the community.
The Lions’ primary fundraisers are the
snack shacks located at Snedigar Field
and Arrowhead Park, where they also
collect used eyeglasses and hearing aids
for its community service projects.
Their main community services
include purchasing eyeglasses for any
child in kindergarten through 12th
grade living in Chandler and referred by
the school nurse that needs financial
assistance with their exam or glasses;
providing free Santa pictures for
families during the month of December
in historic downtown Chandler; and
assisting the City of Chandler with
the Halloween Spooktacular, Rhythm
Festival and Tree Lighting Festival and
other events; and supports the Special
Olympics.
The Hamilton High School Leo Club
has been very successful, with many
projects of their own, including a onemile stretch of road cleanup in front of
the school; collecting used eyeglasses at
football games and collecting shampoo
and conditioner for the homeless; and
adopting a family at Christmas, where
they shop and wrap gifts for the family.
Leos also participate in the 12-hour
Relay for Life at Basha High School. Six
Leos have recently joined the parent
club, which brings the total number to
seven who wish to continue with their
community service during the college
years and beyond.

worked as an assistant vice president for
Tempe-based Bank of America, and she
attended Sun Valley Community Church.
Jamie was a vibrant, caring person who
was often the first person to volunteer
when someone needed help.
She lived life to the fullest, and she
loved being a mom to her beautiful
children, Alex, Paige and Nick. Her
passion for helping others didn’t stop
with her passing; she was an organ donor
and has saved multiple lives.
Donations to benefit Jamie’s children
can be made at any Bank of America
location, account #457024229562,
account name: Toni Weatherly with
Beneficiary, Christina Burris (Jamie’s
sister). For information on how to make
donation online, call Bank of America at
480-539-5004. For more information on
how you can help, contact Christina at
