Stella Foster of the CHICAGO SUN-TIMES cooks up some fun with Charles Oakley, former NBA star and aspiring chef:

The ex-Bull & ex-Knick smiled and sautéed for the cameras, as he recently shot a pilot for a cooking show.

Oakley is apparently quite the culinary king. For one Chicago-area dinner party, Oakley served up his secret-recipe chicken wings, cheeseburger sliders, blackened cod, meatloaf and peach cobbler.

That would explain last weekend’s jaunt in Georgia - too many sips of the cooking sherry.
