The man behind Freddie's Beach Bar & Restaurant, Freddie Lutz, gearing up to celebrate his venue's eighth birthday in March, obviously knows what he's doing. Maybe it's his 25 years as maitre d' and manager of Café Italia down the street (''I was a mere child when I stared working there,'' he teases).

The surprise move came as the Senate Regulated Industries & Utilities Committee was scheduled to vote on the bill this afternoon.
