* Chuck Negron, lead singer on ‘Joy to the World’ and other Three Dog Night hits, has died at 83.

Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats met him twice- no question in our minds, Chuck Negron was one of Rock N Roll’s greatest lead singers!

Our condolences to his family and friends.

——
Although “Joy To The World” was Three Dog Night’s biggest hit, Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats’ favorite Three Dog Night hit is “ONE”!

Enjoy…

***** Gilbert’s 17th Street Grill, 1821 Cordova Road, Fort Lauderdale, Florida 33316 (954) 768-8990.

Got a real good “mom & pop” American-diner joint for you…Gilbert’s 17th Street Grill.

The menu is not large…but has enough soups, salads, burgers, sandwiches, grilled items and desserts…so nobody’s gonna starve. A recent outing netted me a cheeseburger, bbq ribs and a philly cheesesteak sandwich…everything was delicious and priced just right. Nothing fancy here, just real good food. Take a look at the joint’s website www.gilberts17thstgrill.com for menu/prices/details.

Gilbert’s is open Monday-Saturday 11am-9pm. The joint is closed on Sunday.

Soup’s Not A Meal! Starring Comedian- Steve Hytner From Seinfeld / The Studio At Mizner Park (Boca Raton)

`* Soup’s Not A Meal! Starring Comedian- Steve Hytner From Seinfeld.

Tickets just went on sale…

Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats are really looking forward to seeing Steve Hytner’s stand-up act!

For you guys who may not be familiar with Hytner’s Seinfeld connection…

R

Steve Hytner appeared as the hack comedian Kenny Bania in a total of 7 episodes of Seinfeld.
Despite his character’s massive impact on the show’s lore—giving us the “soup’s not a meal” debate and the “That’s gold, Jerry! Gold!” catchphrase—his actual screen time was relatively sparse, beginning in Season 6.
List of Episodes
“The Soup” (Season 6, Episode 7): Bania gives Jerry a brand-new Armani suit in exchange for a meal.
“The Secretary” (Season 6, Episode 9): Bania corners Jerry at the dry cleaners to ask about the meal.
“The Soup Nazi” (Season 7, Episode 6): Bania is seen in line behind Jerry at the famous soup stand.
“The Fatigues” (Season 8, Episode 7): Bania tries to get Jerry to mentor him on his “Ovaltine” bit.
“The Butter Shave” (Season 9, Episode 1): Bania rides Jerry’s coattails, becoming a “time-slot hit” by following Jerry’s set.
“The Finale: Part 1” (Season 9, Episode 23): Bania appears during the final sequence of the series.
“The Finale: Part 2” (Season 9, Episode 24): Bania testifies against the group in court.

***** DISH OF THE WEEK (September-9/28/14).

One of Jeff Eats’ favorite menu items…

BBQ PORK SPARERIBS
$9.50 (large order)

Hong Kong Palace
22191 Powerline Road
Boca Raton
(561) 338-5887

Latest Review: 6/18/11.

Real easy story here…the bbq pork spareribs will have you thinking that it’s 1957 and -you got them from Joy Fong’s on Avenue J & Coney Island Avenue, Brooklyn. Outstanding ribs- by the way, you guys can insert the name of your “favorite” Jewish American Chinese Restaurant circa 1950’s-1960’s in place of Joy Fong’s, if you so desire. For you “youngsters” out there, 70’s-2014 will also work.

***** Hong Kong Palace, 22191 Powerline Road, Boca Raton, Florida 33433, (561) 338-5887.

Don’t ask! Hong Kong Palace a “takeout only” Chinese joint has been around for something like 30 years and although it’s about 6 minutes from my house, I didn’t know that it existed until last night around 7:30pm. Mrs. Jeff Eats couldn’t “find” a red paper party bag that she needed at Party Supermarket so she dragged me to Party City (where she normally doesn’t shop) in her quest for that red paper party bag…and low and behold, while she was in Party City, I just happened to “notice” Hong Kong Palace which is right next door. Twenty minutes later…she had the red paper party bag and I had two plastic bags filled with…wonton soup, egg rolls, pan fried dumplings, white rice, bbq ribs, shrimp with lobster sauce, mu shu pork, sweet & sour chicken, beef with broccoli, a handful of fortune cookies.

You know what good fortune is? Well, a quest for a red paper party bag—resulted in me coming-upon a good Chinese takeout. Just for the record, the bbq ribs were 6-of the best that I’ve had in a very long time. Everything “else” was A-Ok, but nothing to get hysterical about. The beautiful part of this story, is I now know as do you, where you can get absolutely delicious Chinese bbq ribs.

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

Hong Kong Palace is open Monday-Thursday 11am-10pm, Friday-Saturday 11am-10:30pm, Sunday, 2:30pm-10pm. If you pay cash over $15-$25-$40 they throw some items like spring rolls, egg rolls, krab rangoon, fried rice in the bag for nothing. One other thing, Party City has red paper party bags for $1.99 and is open Monday-Wednesday 9:30am-8:30pm, Thursday-Friday 9:30am-9:00pm, Saturday 8:30am-8:30pm, Sunday 10am-6:00pm.
