Get Your Motor Runnin’: In the off season, on Friday, my wife, Stacia, and I ride our Harleys into Westwood--it’s only a five-minute ride from home. First up is dinner at Mustache Cafe. You can’t go wrong with the smoked chicken fettuccine. It’s outstanding. Stacia loves the Cajun chicken salad, and we usually split the chocolate souffle for dessert. After dinner, it’s back on the Harleys and over to catch a movie. Westwood, without a doubt, has the city’s best theaters.

Fearsome Foursome: Saturday mornings are my selfish time. I join my best friend Ben Robert, my agent Pat Brisson and Kings publicist Mike Altieri for 18 holes at Pelican Hill Country Club in Orange County. That’s such a great golf course, with one picturesque hole after another. We like to be the first off the tee at 6 a.m., so we usually finish in time to be home by 12:30.

Quality Time: In the afternoon I like to spend time with my kids, Steven, 10, and Jessie, 3. We swim in the pool or play with our dogs, Shelby and Jack Thrasher, Jackie.

Now You’re Cookin’: As night falls, it’s time for the best filet mignon in L.A., the Luc Robitaille BBQ special. I usually invite fellow Kings Rob Blake and Glen Murray, plus Rob’s wife, Brandy, and Glen’s girlfriend, Katie, and the dynamic duo of Sean O’Donnell and Matt Johnson to share in the experience. After everyone’s gone home, Stacia, Steven and I sit down for a traditional viewing of “Saturday Night Live.”

Family Day: On Sunday mornings, after a quick workout at Gold’s Gym in Venice, it’s off to a family brunch at Jerry’s Deli in Westwood. I love the Nova lox and eggs with tomatoes. Then we’ll head to a park on Beverly Glen to play with the dogs and have them run around with the kids. In the early afternoon, we’ll all go walking in Westwood before taking in a family matinee and eating dinner at our favorite family restaurant, Baja Fresh. We then make sure to get home in time to help Steven with his homework so we can all watch “The X-Files” together.
