Back In The Saddle

2011-05-15T22:17:00.006+10:00

Wild Bill's soccer team returned to the Win column this past week with a convincing 4-1 victory over the Paire Football Club.

Pairee took an early lead when Striker Jason Schroeder's noggin drilled in Midfielder Steven McKagan's corner kick in the fifth minute of play. The squads battled evenly through most of the first half until Wild Bill's found an equalizer on the foot of Adul Detdon (AKA Nong) in the 41st minute.

The good guys carried their momentum into the second half and took the lead when Midfielder Greg Elliot buried the ball from the goal line during a scrum that decided the outcome. Soon thereafter Nong found a streaking, airborne Jeeraphong Thoensaket(AKA Jack) for what's been referred to as the Goal of the Year to deliver a 3-1 lead 15 minutes into the second half. Nong added another score to his impressive stat sheet in the 74th minute to end all hopes of a comeback for Paire.

Wild Bill's returns to the Ada Pitch this Thursday, May 19 at 7:30pm against MP United.

Wanted: writers from the Northern Mariana Islands

2010-09-13T14:56:00.000+10:00

Saipan, CNMI – A quartet of local writers from the Northern Mariana Islands is accepting submissions for an upcoming anthology of local writers they are tentatively calling Stories from Wild Bills Cafe: Life, Love and Spicy Tofu in the Northern Mariana Islands.

“A number of local writers have been throwing around an idea to create a compilation of local work for years now,” said Angelo O’Connor Villagomez. “A group of us have been meeting together over spicy tofu and chiliburgers at Wild Bills these last few months and we’ve finally decided to put it together.”

When asked how long the anthology would be and how many writers would be included, Villagomez said that the book would be “about 200 pages, which will probably fit about 15 -20 writers.”

The editors of Wild Bills Café are Jane Mack, Joe Race, Jaime Vergara, and Villagomez.

The inspiration for the name of the anthology comes from Wild Bills Café on Beach Road in Garapan.

“I talked to the owner Bill about the name, and he’s allowing us to use it,” explained Race, a local novelist and former police officer. “Our idea is to focus the attention on a physical place to ground all the stories.”

Race also said that the book would promote the Northern Mariana Islands and might even turn Wild Bills into a destination for tourists, readers, and writers.

“Saipan, Tinian and Rota are home to several dozen newspaper reporters, bloggers, novelists, poets and amateur writers,” said Mack, a novelist and lawyer. “There are also a number of writers from the Northern Mariana Islands living and working abroad, but who write about home. These are the people we want to include in this first edition of Wild Bills.”

Writers interested in submitting work for the anthology can contact the editors at WildBillStories@gmail.com. Submission guidelines are available upon request. Writers whose work is chosen for submission will receive two (2) copies of Stories from Wild Bills Café

New review by a local blogger

2008-10-16T06:04:00.000+10:00

This is my new favorite breakfast joint in Saipan! Actually they are open for breakfast, lunch, dinner and even happy hour! It is a nice small place that has implemented a smoke free zone. We used to eat at Wild Bills almost everyday for breakfast before. Back then it was called Sams, then wild bills.

My favorite at Wild Bills is the Wild Bills Special (breakfast). They have really good food and really good service, but the best part is the prices are REASONABLE.

Richard's Saipan Restaurant Picks
Wednesday, August 22, 2007

You can't be underwater all day, you have to come up for food at some time, so I thought I would add Richard's Saipan Restaurant Picks. I have given up on cooking myself almost entirely and eat most of my meals out. Below is a list of restaurants worth checking out. Feel free to leave your own comments.

1. Wild Bill's:

Wild Bills possibly has the most eclectic menu of all restaurants on island. Dishes range from breakfast with hashbrowns ($5), Thai food, Mexican food, chilly dogs, salads, to even vegetarian dishes. The Thai food at Wild Bill's is in my opinion the best on island. The prices are very reasonable and range from $5 to $15. Okay, so it is not the most classy looking joint, but we're talking food here not interior decorating. The only drawback is that it can be smoky inside. Wild Bill's offers free Wi-fi.

Here's an article published in Japanese about Wild Bill's....

外の黒い看板からでは一見バーかなと思わせるこのレストランは、中に入るとなんといきなり笑顔の木像が迎えてくれます。所々にタイの飾りがあるのは、オーナーがタイ人というので納得。
The black sign outside the restaurant and a bar-like look, you smile at the wooden figure into it all of a sudden. We'll have to have the decorations of Thailand, Thai people understand and because the owners.

メニューは豊富で、朝食メニューからランチ、ディナーと…そしてなんと言っても、アメリカ、メキシコ、タイの3カの料理が楽しめるのです。どれを食べても、満足する味。そして値段も良心的で、二人でも欲張って3品、4品頼みたい程。ただし一皿一皿がボリューム満点なので、充分おなかをすかせて行って下さい。The menu is extensive breakfast menu, lunch and dinner ... and it's going, the United States, Mexico and Thailand are the countries to enjoy the food. How to eat, taste good. Conscientious and reasonable prices, and greedily at the two-three, about four-invite. Since the dish out a plate of volume, but please not hungry enough.

毎週、日曜日の朝はローカルの常連さんで席は埋まってしまうほど。パンケーキに、ソーセージ、ベーコン＋お好みスタイルで卵を２つもつけてくれる WildBillの特製ブレックファーストは$5.50となかなかのお値段。平日の朝でさえも、ここで朝食を食べてから会社に出かける人も多いそう。それほどまでに日常にとけ込んでいてなおかつ愛されているお店なのです。
そして毎週木曜日の「タイナイト」も見逃せません。かわいい踊り子さんのダンスをみながら、食べ放題のタイ料理を楽しるのです。Every Sunday morning in his regular seat just buried locally. The pancakes, sausages, bacon + eggs in the style they prefer on any two WildBill Breakfast special $ 5.50 price is good. Even on a weekday morning, so many companies from going out to eat breakfast here. I love a store that is not enough in life so TOKE込N.
Every Thursday, "Thai Night" Do not miss. He said the dancer and dance pretty, I feel comfortable in the all you can eat Thai food.

さて、小さい島ですが、いろいろな変化があります。食べに行くところも、紹介する人がいるからこそ、しっかり見て、食べて、コメントを考えました。残念ながら、サイパンからのレポートは最後になりましたが、6年いながらにして、まだ行ったことのないお店はたくさんあるので、コラムが終わっても、私の冒険はまだまだ続きます。では、皆様お元気で。Now, a small island, there are a lot of changes. I also go out, because people are about, look good, eat, and thought the comments. Unfortunately, reports from islanders In closing, the comfort, the store has not yet made it a lot, even after the end of the column, and still continue my adventure. So, take care everyone.

Review by Ken Stewart, the "Guam Food Guy"

2006-07-18T21:32:00.000+10:00

Another worthwhile spot in Saipan is the relatively new pub and restaurant called Wild Bill's Bar & Grill, which is located in Garapan about a block away from Thai House. I was told about this place by several people, but it wasn't until I ran into Bill Curry and his wife Somjai on Guam that they told me I needed to get to their new place and try out their Thai food. Wild Bill's boasts a diverse menu selection, including a variety of hot sandwiches from Roast Beef ($6.25) to burgers such as the Bacon Cheeseburger ($5), Country Fried Steak ($7), Fried Chicken ($6.50), Steaks, Seafood Entrees, Combinations, and more. They also have a Thai food section on their menu, which is what I came to eat this time.

I ordered the Gai Kra Praow (Chicken with Sweet Basil $7 ), Pad Thai ($7), and was given a sample of their signature fresh rolls (Summer Rolls, $7,) which were mixed bean thread noodles and vegetables with shrimp, served with peanut sauce. The rolls were awesome...not just great tasting, especially when dipped in the hot, as in warmed, spicy peanut sauce with generous chopped nuts floating atop, but also great in stature and number. There were eight halves that each seemed to be about as big as the regular-sized ones I'm used to getting. I ate what I could, and brought the rest to the staff at my hotel.

The Pad Thai was pretty good, too, and I portioned half for take-out. I really enjoyed the Gai Kra Praow. I had this dish Thai Style, with the fried egg on top. It was as good as I've had at my favorite Guam Thai restaurants, with nice red bell peppers and fragrant basil infused throughout. It has to be one of my favorite Thai dishes...certainly an aromatic delight for me!

Wild Bill's is open for breakfast, too, and serves Omelettes, Pork Chops, Chamorro Breakfasts, Beef Tapa, Breakfast Steaks, Pancakes, French Toast, Hash Browns,and Fried Rice. Their phone number is (670) 233-3372 for take-out and they are open from 7am-10pm.
