A recent email from reader Marc G.

Jeff,
Recently got hooked on JeffEats.com.
My wife and I eat out about three times a week.
We recently moved to Hallandale Beach from Bonita Springs.
Didn’t know about Jeff Eats until I read Boca Life’s story about you.
Your tastes seem similar to ours.
We also are in the same age bracket as you are.
We are originally from Queens with a 16 year stop over in fort Lee.
Just wondering, is there a really good 24 diner in the area?
We are often out late and really would appreciate someplace to go.
We tried Lester’s and found it just so so.
Thanks and keep up the great site.

I’ll tell-if you promise to keep it a secret!

On average you will find Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats at Jack’s Hollywood Diner something like twice a month.

Checkout what Jeff Eats had to say on April 18, 2011- nice story (if I do say so myself) about Jack’s which was originally named Freddie’s Diner when it first opened for business in 1953.

Jack’s Hollywood Diner—my kinda of joint. A REAL DINER–its been around since 1953 …and it’s open 7 days a week- 24 HOURS A DAY!!! Check www.jacksdiner.com for menu/prices/loads of pictures.

If you are a reincarnated truck-driver like old Jeff Eats is, you will absolutely-positively love this joint. Huge breakfast menu, burgers, french fries drowned in ketchup, onion rings, meat-loaf, daily specials, vinyl booths, formica tables, counter seating…a throw-back to the days when Ike was calling the shots…and Ray Kroc hadn’t yet figured out assembly-line burgers.

Jack’s is open 7 days a week 24 hours a day.

TGI Friday’s files for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection

Posted on November 2nd, 2024 · Music/Events/Other Stocks · No Comments »

* TGI Friday’s files for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.

Just trying to keep you guys in the loop…

From yahoofinance.com:

TGI Friday’s files for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection

DALLAS (AP) — Restaurant chain TGI Fridays filed for bankruptcy protection Saturday, saying it is looking for ways to “ensure the long-term viability” of the casual dining brand after closing many of its branches this year.

The Dallas-based company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in a Texas federal court.

TGI Fridays Executive Chairman Rohit Manocha in a statement said the “primary driver of our financial challenges resulted from COVID-19 and our capital structure.”

Sit-down chain restaurants have more broadly faced challenges in recent years as diners choose to get food delivered or visit upscale fast food chains like Chipotle and Shake Shack.

A U.S. bankruptcy judge in September approved a reorganization plan for seafood chain Red Lobster after years of mounting losses and dwindling customers.

Founded in 1965, the popularity of TGI Fridays peaked in 2008 with 601 restaurants in the U.S. and a $2 billion business, according to Kevin Schimpf, director of industry research at Technomic. Its sales in the U.S. were $728 million in 2023, down 15% from the prior year, according to Technomic.

It now counts 163 restaurants in the U.S., down from 269 last year. It closed 36 in January and dozens more in the past week.

TGI Fridays Inc. said it only owns and operates 39 restaurants in the U.S., which is just a fraction of the 461 TGI Friday-branded restaurants around the world. A separate entity, TGI Fridays Franchisor, owns the intellectual property and has franchised the brand to 56 independent owners in 41 countries. Those remain open.
