***** NYY Steak, (Seminole Casino Coconut Creek) 5550 Northwest 40th Street, Coconut Creek, Florida 33073, (954) 997-6700.
Way-back on 2/15/12 Jeff Eats told you guys about NYY Steak located in the Seminole Casino Creek Coconut Creek- in Coconut Creek. That “review” is down-below…
Long story short, since that “review” was published, Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats have eaten in NYY something like 5-times, with the latest “outing”- being last night. For what it’s worth, all of the meals that Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats have had, were all right on the money!
Last night, I got to thinking that Jeff Eats rarely if ever hears- NYY Steak mentioned in conversations about South Florida’s best steak-joints. No ifs, ands or buts- the 26oz bone-in-ribeye with grilled onions and French fries- that I had last night and didn’t come close to finishing- could easily be matched against the best of breed down here in sunny South Florida-same story for Mrs. Jeff Eats’ pan seared snapper!
NYY Steak (Coconut Creek)
Posted on February 15th, 2012
***** NYY Steak, (Seminole Casino Coconut Creek) 5550 Northwest 40th Street, Coconut Creek, Florida 33073, (954) 997-6700.
Go figure!
One of the best-“upscale steakhouses” in South Florida is located at the Seminole Casino Coconut Creek in- Coconut Creek…That’s right, the casino where you-gotta wear an oxygen mask because the cigarette smoke is so brutal—as part of a recently completed $150,000,000 renovation/expansion has opened an absolutely georgeous looking steakhouse with fabulous food and service. You can check www.seminolecoconutcreekcasino.com for menu/prices/photos. By the way, NYY is a joint venture–Seminole Indians/New York Yankees (there is another NYY at Yankee Stadium).
NYY…New York Yankees, get it? All kinds, of New York Yankee black/white photos, autographs…no dark wood–or dim lights here…but rather, a great looking open kitchen, light oak woods, bright lights, plenty of glass. Like I said before, an absolutely gorgeous looking joint.
When you check NYY’s menu, try not to get sticker-shock…no question about it- that $51.75 24oz bone in ribeye is “high” even for an upscale steakhouse–Now, I maybe going out on a limb here, but I think- that casino-joints like NYY get a ton of customers using their casino “PLAYER’S CLUB” rewards/points to pay the bill. If I’m right—the restaurant can charge more than what most folks would consider “normal”- because many customers aren’t using real-money. So, if you go there, I think you will find that many of the “diners” are eating on-the-arm.
At this juncture of the discussion, let me tell you that NYY looks totally out of place at the Seminole Casino. Nothing for nothing, but the Seminole Casino isn’t in this boy’s opinion–an upscale looking property. Now, there may-be something more developing at the Seminole Casino that’s gonna get it looking more like the Hard Rock operation in Hollywood-so NYY may eventually make sense, but for right now, NYY looks like a fish out of water. Personally, I don’t see non-casino players making special plans/reservations to eat at NYY, despite the fact that its food is absolutely dynamite.
A recent dinner had me “doing” the aforementioned 24oz ribeye, 28oz porterhouse ($54.75), veal chop milanase ($44.50), roast chicken ($28.50), lemon pepper halibut ($31.50), steak fries ($9.50), lobster mac & cheese ($11). Every item was delicious. On the service front, excellent without the “snotty” know-it-all attitude you find at many upscale steakhouses.
There are two ways to play NYY Steak. You can gamble your heart out…and accumulate points to spend or you can just fork over cash or your credit card at the end of the meal.
NYY Steak is a homerun…pun intended!
NYY Steak is open Monday, Thursday-Sunday 5pm-11pm. The joint is closed on Tuesday and Wednesday.

13 Superfoods That Can Lower Your Risk Of Cancer

13 Superfoods That Can Lower Your Risk of Cancer
Food, or what we consume on a daily basis, is at the core of defining our holistic wellness. It is our food that can help us lead a healthy, balanced, quality life. At the same time, certain food items, their consumption pattern, and other nutritional aspects may raise our risk of developing critical health concerns such as diabetes, cholesterol, cardiovascular diseases, and cancers too.
Compared to other health concerns, cancer, so far, has been deemed as non-curable. Despite advancements in the medical and diagnostic realms, the ultimate cure for cancer is yet to be fetched. So, how can you prevent the risk? How can you keep yourself and your loved ones safe?
In this article, we are going to discuss the 13 superfoods, foods that prevent cancer
Intrigued? Let’s get started.
Superfood #1 – Broccoli
Broccoli, commonly referred to as the mush-green cauliflower, makes it to the list of superfoods that can help you and your loved ones reduce the risk of cancer. You sure would be knowing Broccoli as a healthy vegetable but effective for cancer may seem a bit surprising.
Here’s what you need to know about this anti-cancer food. It contains a plant compound sulforaphane that is commonly found in cruciferous veggies, which is known to have potent anti-cancer attributes. As per a PubMed study, sulforaphane could reduce the number of breast cancer cells by up to 75%. It is deemed effective in the case of prostate, colorectal and other cancer variants too. Though the direct benefits of Broccoli in an anti-cancer regimen are yet to be scientifically proven, it won’t hurt to include this cruciferous delight a couple of times in your weekly food schedule.
Superfood #2 – Tomatoes
What makes you make tomatoes a part of your dietary ingredient? Its rich red colour, its mild-sour taste, its freshness? Well, these cherry-red beauties can even help you lower the risk of developing cancer. Intriguing? Tomatoes come rich in the compound Lycopene, which is ultimately responsible for its attractive red colour and its anti-cancer properties.
Several studies have highlighted tomato as one of the potent cancer-preventing foods and Lycopene’s anti-cancer properties, especially reducing the risk of developing prostate cancer. Since prostate cancer is known to affect men of progressive ages, including tomatoes on the daily platter, can prove beneficial.
Superfood #3 – Citrus Fruits
Citrus fruits, who does not adore them? Well, you would be glad to know that consuming lemon, limes, oranges, and other citrus fruits can help you keep your cancer risks in control. Studies back this fact up and cite that in several cases, citrus fruit consumption has been linked to reducing the risk of developing upper respiratory, digestive tract, and pancreatic cancers.
Besides, citrus fruits, foods to prevent cancer, are powerhouses of antioxidants and anti-ageing attributes and are even a healthier choice for everyday life. So, if you have been consuming citrus fruits aplenty, well done! If not, now, you have got the lucrative reason why you should get started!
Superfood #4 – Berries
Berries are known to be rich in anthocyanins, the plant pigments that enable berries with antioxidant and potent anti-cancerous properties. Studies even have shown berries to be effective in reducing cancer growth, its volume, and inhibiting biomarkers for cancer.
Superfood #5 – Beans
Beans might already have been a part of your diet plan. This fibre-rich, green vegetable is known to be effective in preventing/managing colorectal cancer. Beans, one of the anti-cancer foods consumed, whether in raw, semi-cooked or cooked versions, are known to keep you and your loved ones safe from cancer recurrences, further cancer growth, etc.
Superfood #6 – Carrots
Carrots are good for vision health. This is a fact that most of us are aware of. It is considered effective for a host of cancer variants, too, by reducing the risk of developing the same. This anti-cancer food can substantially reduce the risk of developing stomach cancer and prostate and lung cancer substantially. So, be it the brunch, evening snack or supper salad, now you know what is a must to be on the platter.
Superfood #7 – Nuts
Are nuts a constant across your breakfast, evening snacks, and midnight delights? Now, you have one more reason to keep the healthy habit going. A PubMed study highlights that walnuts were associated with a decreased growth rate of breast cancer cells and reduced the risk of developing colorectal, pancreatic, and endometrial cancers.
Superfood #8 – Olive Oil
You must have come across stacks of olive oil in the supermarkets. Now, make sure you buy them during your next grocery run. In addition to its numerous health benefits, the consumption of olive oil can protect you and your loved ones from developing breast, digestive system, and colorectal cancer.
Superfood #9 – Turmeric
This magical Indian spice has been ruling the kitchen counters across the globe for decades, and rightfully so. Curcumin, the key compound in turmeric, is known to have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory as well as anti-cancer properties. It is deemed as one of the potent cancer-fighting foods and effective in preventing cancer growth and even eliminating cancer cells in certain cancer variants. Make sure this superfood is part of your routine diet plan.
Superfood #10 – Flaxseed
Flaxseeds are known to be rich in fibre and heart-healthy fat content. And these are even considered beneficial in preventing cancer growth and eliminating existing cancerous developments in certain cases, especially colorectal cancer.
Superfood #11 – Garlic
Multiple test-tube studies have reinstated the benefits of the allicin compound in garlic to kill cancer cells. A regular intake of garlic can help you, and your loved ones keep certain types of cancers at bay.
Superfood #12 – Fatty Fish
Fatty fishes are rich in Vitamin D and Omega 3 fatty acids. These have been linked to a reduced risk of the digestive tract and colorectal cancer.
Superfood #13 – Cinnamon
You must be aware of the blood sugar reducing and inflammation-easing capabilities of cinnamon. Several studies cite cinnamon to be effective in restricting the growth of cancer cells and even eliminating them.
Wrapping Up
Your food intake, its nutritional quotient, and a healthy balance can make or break your health and wellness. Keep your loved ones secure from the risk of cancer by including the above-mentioned superfoods in your daily diet plan.

Wingstop is a real-easy concept to comprehend… non breaded wings, breaded boneless wings, breaded white meat chicken strips…9 flavors…handful of sides.
A recent outing had me trying—breaded wings/breaded strips/boneless wings/french fries…hawaiian, teriyaki, garlic parmesan flavors. Loved all of the offerings/flavors. Also really enjoyed the fresh hand cut french fries. From what I can tell, everything is made to order…the stuff came out of the kitchen piping hot.

***** Anthony’s Runway 84, 330 West State Road 84, Fort Lauderdale, Florida 33315, (954) 467-8484.
This past Sunday, Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats ate dinner at upscale white table cloth Italian joint- Anthony’s Runway 84 and its food and service absolutely killed!
Over the past 30 years, Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats have eaten numerous times at Anthony’s Runway 84- some outings were great and others not so great! (See 7/9/08 & 1/29/16 “reviews” below).
In 2022 the joint underwent a major (and I do mean major) construction and decor renovation!
Last night was our first outing at the “new” gorgeous- Sinatra Martin Lawford Sammy Davis Jr. Bishop era inspired restaurant!
Our reservation was timely honored, the menu was reasonably priced, the food and service were top-shelf!
Let’s wrap Anthony’s Runway 84 up by saying, if the joint stays the course, it is an absolute must try!
You guys can check menu/prices/info at runway84.com.
Anthony’s Runway 84 hours:
Monday-closed

***** Anthony’s Runway 84, 330 West State Road 84, Fort Lauderdale, Florida 33315, (954) 467-8484.
Last night Jeff Eats, Mrs. Jeff Eats and 9 others ate dinner at Anthony’s Runway 84 an “upscale” Italian joint in Fort Lauderdale.
Jeff Eats first told you guys about Anthony’s Runway 84 on July 9, 2008 (“review”reprinted down below).
Long story short,
Despite getting caught in torrential rains-driving there and being late for our 6:30pm reservation (arriving at 7:10pm) the packed (and I do mean packed)- Anthony’s Runway 84- immediately seated us! Real simple tale to tell, the food (Italian salad, mussels marinara, clams oreganata, chicken parmigiana, veal parmigiana, veal marsala, grilled pork chops, chicken scarpariello, spaghetti marinara) was delicious and the service was right on the money! Trust Jeff Eats when I tell you, that everyone at the table really enjoyed dinner! For you guys who like to keep score, the grilled pork chops and the chicken scarpariello killed!
Take a “read” of my 7/9/08 “review”- just so you know, Jeff Eats hadn’t been back to Anthony’s Runway 84 since that review-date…I’m kinda thinking that “out of sight out of mind” was the prime factor for the roughly 8 year hiatus!
Based on last night’s “dinner” Jeff Eats is recommending that you guys give the joint a shot- no ifs, ands or buts- Anthony’s Runway 84 did a great job last night!
You can check menu/prices/info at runway-84.com.
Anthony’s Runway 84 is open for lunch Tuesday-Friday, for dinner Tuesady-Sunday, closed Monday.

***** Anthony’s Runway 84, 330 West State Road 84, Fort Lauderdale, Florida 33315, (954) 467-8484.
The owner of Anthony’s Runway 84, is the same guy who in recent years has been “rolling out” Anthony’s Coal Fired Pizza joints literally all over South Florida.
Anthony’s Runway 84 is a white-cloth-upscale Italian Restaurant…This joint’s decor is Tony Soprano-Christopher Moltisanti-Paulie Gualtieri circa 1970. Anthony’s has an enormous-legendary following, so don’t even think about going to this joint without a reservation…(more on reservations later).
Just so you know…over the years I have eaten at Anthony’s Runway 84 at least 15 times…to be perfectly honest with you, I don’t know if I like or don’t like this joint…I know that sounds nuts, but that’s the truth.
Anthony’s is notorious for not honoring reservations…over the years it has gotten a reputation for being a joint that hand-picks who gets seated and when they get seated…in the past, sometimes I was timely seated and sometimes I sat in the bar (for the longest period) trying to figure what the hell was going on…
Anthony’s is notorious for having an erratic kitchen…sometimes the food is absolutely incredible and sometimes it produces absolute garbage…in the past, I have had great dishes, good dishes and garbage.
The one thing that has always been consistent at Anthony’s is the wait-service. Absolutely top-notch. By the way, Anthony’s prices are nothing too terrible…you get a ton of food for the money.
The perfect Anthony’s Runway 84 experience is an “honored” reservation with great food…I have had such evenings… then again, I have had “honored” reservations with garbage…I have also had reservations “not honored” with great food…and reservations “not honored” with garbage.
Let me put it to you this way…eating at this joint is an absolute crap-shoot. Based on my having eaten in this joint something like 15 times, I must be a gambler and glutton for punishment all rolled up in one.
My suggestion is that you give Anthony’s Runway 84 at least one try…if the stars line-up for you, you will have an an absolutely fabulous dinner. When (if) it comes together, the combination of decor/ambiance/attitude/food/service is fantastic.
Anthony’s is open Tuesday-Sunday for dinner.
GOOD LUCK!!!!
