***** Rainbow Palace, 2787 Oakland Park Boulevard, Fort Lauderdale, Florida 33306, (954) 565-5652.

House of Chan, if you like, you can go and “look” it up.

Suffice it to say, in the 1950s-1960s-1970s, the House of Chan located at 52nd Street and 7th Avenue, NYC- was one of America’s most famous upscale Chinese restaurants.

Old history (isn’t all history old?), Jeff Eats’ father had a “business” house account, so Jeff Eats, his brother, father and mother–enjoyed a number of meals at the House of Chan.

The House of Chan had fabulous food. The House of Chan had superb service. The House of Chan had a fabulous management team. The House of Chan had “style.”

No question in my mind, those House of Chan outings-shaped Jeff Eats’ thoughts on what upscale-dining is “suppose” to be.

Long story short,

The Rainbow Palace has fabulous food. The Rainbow Palace has superb service. The Rainbow Palace has a top shelf management team. The Rainbow Palace has “style.”

If you want TOP NOTCH CHINESE FOOD, TOP NOTCH UPSCALE SERVICE, A RESTAURANT WITH STYLE then get yourself over to the Rainbow Palace in Fort Lauderdale.

For those of you wondering as to what Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats “had”-house wonton soup, crispy steak, sesame chicken, chef’s fried rice.

For what it’s worth,

Both Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats found the food off the chart-but please keep in mind that you and us-Eats may-be polar opposites- on what constitutes good-great-lousy etc. That’s why Jeff Eats and you should never bet the farm on what some “critic” has to say about any particular restaurant or dish.

Anyway,

Jeff Eats thought the food was terrific…

By the way, Rainbow’s prices aren’t exactly cheap. Just a word to the wise, the joint’s portions are large- so figure on sharing stuff- and don’t over order,

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

Rainbow Palace is open Sunday-Wednesday 5pm-10pm, Thursday noon-3pm & 5pm-10pm, Friday noon-3pm & 5pm-11pm, Saturday 5pm-11pm.

One final thought on this “food reviewing” thing…

How many times have you asked a total stranger who was leaving a movie theatre “What he or she thought about a picture?” See where Jeff Eats is going with this? As my Uncle Sam Ting (by marriage to my father’s sister) use to say…

Tickets: $38.50- $43.50 bocablackbox.com
Emerging in 2019 from New Jersey, United States, Tommy Cono blends pop, rock and latin pop into a genre-defying sound.

From bocablackbox.com:
Tommy Cono is a powerhouse vocalist and showman known professionally as “The Voice of Tribute.” With a sound rooted in the golden era of music and a stage presence that blends vintage charisma with modern flair, Tommy brings audiences on a journey through the unforgettable hits of the 1950s through the 1980s.

His dynamic tribute performances feature songs made famous by Elvis Presley, The Bee Gees, Frankie Valli, Bobby Darin, and more—reimagined with heart, soul, and authenticity. A proud Italian-American and active firefighter/EMT, Tommy’s background in public service informs his humble, hard-working approach to the stage.

A defining force behind Tommy’s rise is longtime music producer and promoter Joey M, founder of Joey M’s Golden Kids. Joey discovered Tommy’s talent early on and was instrumental in launching the collaborations that would define Tommy’s career. Under Joey’s guidance, Tommy became the final artist to record with Bobby Rydell and helped bring Frankie Avalon back into the studio after 45 years—resulting in a series of celebrated duets.

Today, Tommy tours nationally and performs as part of The Golden Boys, alongside Frankie Avalon and Fabian, honoring the memory of Bobby Rydell. His career highlights include appearances at Harrah’s Atlantic City, the Kimmel Center in Philadelphia, the Wildwood Convention Center, and a featured artist slot on the Malt Shop Memories Cruise.

Whether on stage or at sea, Tommy Cono isn’t just paying tribute to the greats—he’s keeping their legacy alive, one unforgettable performance at a time.
Just a taste…
