* Humor!

A businessman was interviewing job applicants for the position of manager of a large division.
He quickly devised a test for choosing the most suitable candidate.

He simply asked each applicant this question, “What is two plus two?”

The first interviewee was a journalist.

His answer was, “Twenty-two”.

The second was a social worker.

She said, “I don’t know the answer but I’m very glad that we had the opportunity to discuss it.”

The third applicant was an engineer.

He pulled out a slide rule and came up with an answer “somewhere between 3.999 and 4.001.”

Next came an attorney.

He stated that “in the case of Jenkins vs. the Department of the Treasury, two plus two was proven to be four.”

Finally, the businessman interviewed an accountant.

When he asked him what two plus two was, the accountant got up from his chair, went over to the door, closed it, came back and sat down.

Leaning across the desk, he said in a low voice, “How much do you want it to be?”

He got the job.

***** Riverside Market Cafe, 608 Southwest 12th Avenue, Fort Lauderdale, Florida 33312, (954) 358-8333.

Got an absolutely dynamite joint for you…Riverside Market Cafe. Best way to describe Riverside…a convenience store that was converted into a “cafe” that serves breakfast stuff, subs, sandwiches, flatbread pizzas, salads and daily meat-seafood-chicken “specials.” The joint’s walls are lined with upright refrigerators (just like those used in convenience stores) and are filled with something like 250 different types of bottled beer and a huge number of specialty sodas.

Now let’s talk food. A recent outing had me doing…flatbread 12″ pizza ($12), Italian seafood salad ($8), 12″ turkey sub ($9). Trust me on this one, the food is really good.

Check www.theriversidemarket.com for menu/prices.

So…we got a real casual–relatively inexpensive- breakfast-lunch-dinner joint, that beer and soda drinkers alike, will love.

Riverside Market Cafe is open Saturday-Thursday 8am-9pm and Friday 8am-10pm.

Got an absolutely dynamite bakery that you guys gotta checkout- True Loaf Bakery in Miami Beach.

Real simple tale to tell, yesterday- Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats “discovered” True Loaf Bakery and I’m telling you- this joint’s stuff absolutely killed! If this bakery was closer to the Eats’ Boca Raton abode- I’d probably be wearing a size 56 long suit and clocking in around 335!

Anyway…

Trust Jeff Eats on this one, reasonably priced delicious- cakes/ cookies/ pies/ breads/ pastries/ rolls/ croissants/ scones/ muffins/ handful of sandwiches and beverages menu! Order-pickup at counter. For those who want to eat “there”- wall-counter with a handful of seats.

Just between you guys and Jeff Eats, I “know” my chocolate babkas, almond croissants and oatmeal raisin cookies…

True Loaf Bakery is an absolute must try joint!

***** Eddie & Sam’s New York Pizza, 203 East Twiggs Street, Tampa, Florida 33602, (813) 229-8500.

Two and a half years ago- Jeff Eats told you guys about Eddie & Sam’s New York Pizza an absolutely terrific pizza joint in Tampa. Hadn’t been back since that “story” appeared!

Anyway, last night Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats “did” some pizza there and I gotta tell you- off the chain delicious!

Today’s story- what constitutes or doesn’t constitute a Real New York Slice is anyone’s guess- all I know- is that Eddie & Sam’s New York Pizza kills and that if you live, work, or play anywhere near this joint- you should give it a shot!

Posted in May 5, 2014

***** Eddie & Sam’s New York Pizza, 203 East Twiggs Street, Tampa, Florida 33602, (813) 229-8500.

Real simple concept…order at/pickup at the counter…pizzas, pastas, salads, heroes. The joint has both indoor and outdoor table seating.

You can check menu/prices at www.eddieandsamspizza.com.

Eddie & Sam’s “bubameiser” (some of you guys may have to use Google-here) is that its pizza is made with water imported from New York.

Anyway…

Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats recently did dinner at Eddie & Sam’s and I gotta tell you, the joint makes a delicious thin crust/crispy/sweet sauce pizza. Just as important, Eddie & Sam’s- Chicken Roll (chicken parmigiana wrapped in pizza dough), Sausage Onion Green Pepper Roll (grilled onions, green peppers, sweet sausage, mozzarella cheese wrapped in pizza dough) and Caesar Salad were delicious.

Let me sum things up for you…Eddie & Sam’s food is real-good and “specials” like 2-slices/Coke for $5.99 are right on the money (pun intended).

Now that you know about a real good pizza joint in Tampa–let me turn my attention to this NYC water thing.

Long story short, there are countless people who “argue” that it’s NYC’s tap water that makes pizza in NYC so good…these same people also claim that NYC tap water is what makes NYC bagels so good…

Now…

Jeff Eats was born in Brooklyn in 1949. Jeff Eats lived in Brooklyn from 1949-1979 and in Manhattan from 1980-1991-and has literally eaten in 100s of pizza joints in Brooklyn, Queens, Bronx, Staten Island, Manhattan and I gotta tell you, that I can distinctly remember eating numerous slices–that were absolutely horrendous-lousy-crappy-terrible-inedible–so just maybe this NYC tap water story isn’t-all that it’s cracked-up to be. Now Jeff Eats could be wrong here–but perhaps- the quality of the dough/ sauce/ cheese/ oil/ ingredients/ type of oven used/ and who the pizza maker is–plays a huge role in how good that slice ends up.

Not looking to burst anybody’s Advertising Campaign or nothing–but this NYC tap water-thing has literally become part of America’s pop culture–sort of like Big Foot, you know–it may exist, but then again maybe not.

One quick observation, on its website Eddie & Sam’s says-that New York water is used–it doesn’t say NYC tap water is used. Capice! You can call me Ray and you can call me Ray Jay, but don’t call me Eagle Eye Jeff Eats!

To wrap things up…

Eddie & Sam’s New York Pizza is a winner–no matter what- water it uses!

The joint is open Sunday, Tuesday-Thursday 11am-10pm, Friday-Saturday 11am-11pm, closed on Monday.
