Named Las Vegas’s Comedian of The Year nine years in a row, Rita Rudner is known for her epigrammatic one-liners. She started her standup career in the late 70s, and made her debut on Late Night with David Letterman in 1982.

Rita is an accomplished writer of five books and frequent collaborator with her writer/producer husband Martin Bergman.
For more than forty years, Robert Klein has entertained audiences, and he continues to have an acclaimed career in comedy, on Broadway, on television, and in film. A pioneer in modern stand-up comedy who inspired heavyweights like Jay Leno and Jerry Seinfeld, Robert brings his genius to The Parker showcasing his comedy, musical, and theatrical talents! Klein enjoyed many popular and influential comedy albums in the 1970s and was nominated for a Best Actor in a Musical Tony Award for 1979’s They’re Playing Our Song. Klein regularly appears on talk shows, making more than 100 appearances on The Tonight Show and The Late Show. He was nominated twice for Grammy Awards for “Best Comedy Album of the Year” for his albums “Child of the Fifties” and “Mind Over Matter.” Klein was also nominated twice for Emmy Awards for his HBO comedy specials.

* Humor!
A man is in bed with his wife when there is a knock on the door.
He rolls over and looks at his clock, and it’s 3 AM.
“I’m not getting out of bed at this time”, he thinks, and rolls over.
Then, a louder knock follows.
“Aren’t you going to answer that?” says his wife.
So he drags himself out of bed, and goes downstairs.
He opens the door and there is a man standing at the door.
It didn’t take the homeowner long to realize the man was drunk.
“Hi there,” slurs the stranger, “can you give me a push?”
“No, get lost, it’s 3 AM. I was in bed,” says the man and slams the door.
He goes back up to bed and tells his wife what happened and she says, “Dave, that wasn’t very nice of you. Remember that night we broke down in the pouring rain on the way to pick the kids up from the baby-sitter and you had to knock on a man’s house to get us started again? What would have happened if he’d told us to get lost?”
“But this guy is drunk.” says the husband.
“It doesn’t matter.” says the wife.
“He needs our help and it would be the Christian thing to help him.”
So the husband gets out of bed again, gets dressed, and goes downstairs.
He opens the door, and not being able to see the stranger anywhere he shouts, “Hey, do you still want a push?” and he hears a voice cry out “Yeah please.”
So, still being unable to see the stranger he shouts, “Where are you?”
And the stranger replies: “I’m over here, on your swing.”
This contest started on 8/31/22. This contest has a winner.

***** Granger’s Grille, 802 Southeast 5th Avenue, Delray Beach, Florida 33483, (561) 276-7881.
Do you guys know what scarily good means? Well, Granger’s Grille in Delray Beach is scarily good.
Real quick story…
Hole in the wall with scarily good American-Style food located at 215 Northeast 6th Avenue, Delray Beach after 23 years was forced to move- because the landlord sold the building it was in. A few months later (January, 2017) the “former” hole in the wall re-opened 3-times larger at 892 Southeast 5th Avenue, Delray Beach serving the same scarily good American-Style food!
All Jeff Eats can tell you guys, is that if you’re into absolutely dynamite burgers/ wings/ bbq ribs/ fried zucchini/ onion rings/ French fries/ tuna salad/ chili/ fried chicken/ onion soup/ meatloaf so-on and so forth, portions that could choke a horse, super reasonable prices and a staff that can’t do enough for you- Granger’s Grille is a must try for you!
You can check menu/info at grangersgrille.com.
Granger’s Grille is open Sunday noon-8pm, Monday-Friday 11:00am-9:30pm.

***** Granger’s Bar & Grill, 215 NE 6th Avenue, Delray Beach Florida (561) 276-7881.
Granger’s is a 38 seat bar-grill located on Federal Highway. The joint has something like 10 seats at the bar and a handful of booths and tables…one waitress-one busgirl-3 in the kitchen and that’s the whole shooting match. By the way, the waitress and busgirl are also the bartenders. The bathrooms are out-houses in the parking lot.
Granger’s food is absolutely great. Appetizers, burgers, salads, main dishes everything is delicious. How that little kitchen bangs out so much delicious food is beyond me, but in the 30-40 times that I have eaten at Granger’s everything was right on the money.
I am telling you, that this little joint is a MUST for you. Wear tee shirt/shorts so you don’t look stupid. The joint is open Monday-Saturday for lunch and dinner. The prices are also dirt cheap and if you are there on a Saturday Night you have to try the brick of meatloaf that is one of this joint’s specialities.
From the outside, Granger’s looks like a D U M P. Try it, you will love it.

Real simple tale to tell you, Jeff Eats is thinking- that Tucci’s Fire N Coal Pizza is one of the best coal-oven pizza joints in Florida.
No bs-here, its salads, pizzas, pastas and entrees are all- off the chart- and I really can’t think of another Florida coal oven joint that makes better coal oven wings.
Tucci’s is an absolute must try.
Jeff Eats can’t even begin to imagine- that you won’t love this joint!

***** Tucci’s Fire N Coal Pizza, 50 Northeast 1st Avenue, Boca Raton, Florida 33432 (561) 620-2930.
Regular, Jeff Eats’ readers know that…I love a good pizza. I don’t care if it’s brick-oven, wood oven, coal oven, this oven or that oven…just as long as it tastes good. You also do know that I speak fluent Italian…”Give me two slices and a large Coke.”…don’t you? Over the past 3-years or so, South Florida has been “hit” with a ton of new pizza joints which play the “coal oven-chicken wings” card…guys like Anthony’s, Coal Mine, Carolina’s, Mona Lisa, just to name a few…and by in large, they are all pretty decent… of course, some are better than others…that’s why Jeff Eats is here.
Anyway…last night, I gave Tucci’s Fire N Coal Pizza in Boca Raton a shot. The joint which has been open for something like 3 months… has indoor seating for about 50 and maybe 10 outside. The menu has 4 appetizers, chicken wings, escarole & beans, eggplant rollatini and sauteed broccoli rabe & sausage…2 salads, Italian and caesar…loads of coal/wood cooked pizzas…2 desserts, cheesecake and cannoli…beer and soda by the bottle.
Let’s make this review easy. I had an Italian salad, margherita/ricotta pizza, chicken wings. The food was delicious. The salad was cold, fresh, crisp… The chicken wings were seasoned with garlic and carmalize onion, The pizza was thin crusted, crisp, perfectly well-done, right on the money sweet sauce…As for service, pleasant as can be…Price-wise, small wings (10) $9.95, salad which could have feed 3 ($10.95), pizzas–depending on what you order (that’s obvious) start at- small ($13.95)-large ($17.95).
Tucci’s Fire N Coal Pizza is a really good coal-oven pizza/chicken joint. I enjoyed its food and casual “hole in the wall” atmosphere. By the way, you can check Tucci’s menu/prices at www.tuccispizza.com.
Tucci’s is open for lunch & dinner Tuesday-Sunday…the joint is closed on Monday.

Got a real good kosher bagel joint for you guys to checkout- Lox & Bagel in Boca Raton.
Simple tale to tell, yesterday morning Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats “discovered” Lox & Bagel and I gotta tell you guys- the joint’s food was absolutely delicious! Table seating. No frills decor. Reasonably priced breakfast/lunch/dinner menu. Open Sunday-Friday 7am-3pm/4pm-9pm/ closed on Saturday.
Now, just so we are straight with each other, if you just can’t live without cheeseburgers, BLTS and bacon & eggs- Lox & Bagel isn’t going to work for you…that said, if you can “suck it up” – I am telling you guys that Lox & Bagel’s full boat of boiled-baked bagels/ breakfast stuff/ appetizing/ bakery items/ salads/ sandwiches/ pizzas & pastas/ entrees will make you a fan!

THE LONG RUN reproduces the sound that made the Eagles one of the most successful musical groups in rock and roll history. They capture the energy, guitar technique and vocal harmonies of the Eagles to an art; five voices blending together that will please even the most critical of Eagles fans. You won’t hear a tribute to the Eagles this great till “Hell Freezes Over.”
