Jeff Norris is without question one of the funniest guys out there today.” -Joe Piscopo, Actor/Comedian

Jeff Norris is an energetic whirlwind of comedy. He is a favorite in both Atlantic City and Vegas. He has also most recently partnered with Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines. Over the years, Jeff has appeared on numerous TV and film roles including HBO’s Boardwalk Empire and OZ, Good Morning America, My Super-Ex Girlfriend, and Not Fade Away.

“Jeff is one of the funniest stand-up comedians I’ve ever seen.” -Craig Carton, WFAN’s Boomer & Carton Show

Jeff is one of the most quick-witted acts working today–hardly pausing for a breath as he tears through his act, keeping the audience alert and in stitches from beginning to end. Jeff has been called a complete pro–one of the few remaining comics that understands the importance of showmanship and presentation.

Jeff works tirelessly in support of many charities and fundraising events. Jeff has helped raise more than $180,000 for the victims of Hurricane Sandy and more than $150,000 for the K9s for Warriors whose mission is to aid those warriors suffering from PTSD. In addition to the multiple groups he supports, Jeff was recently recognized by the NJ State Police for his work in support of the Troopers Assisting Troops for Wounded Warriors (the T.A.T. Program).

* National Pie Day – January 23, 2022.

Just in case it slipped your mind, today is National Pie Day!

Here’s a bit of “history” about this very important- sacred holiday according to…

Retailmenot.com:

“What’s the History of National Pie Day?
You can celebrate National Pie Day thanks to Charlie Papazian, an engineer, teacher and home-brewing expert who loved pie so much he declared his own birthday to be National Pie Day. And the holiday caught on! Since 1986, National Pie Day has taken place every year and is sponsored by the American Pie Council. Pretty cool!”

While we are “discussing” pies, your favorite Florida retail-joints for pies!

***** Canton Star Chinese Restaurant, 15718 Southwest 72nd Street, Miami, Florida 33193, (305) 388-1828.

No bs-here…almost always, when people meet me and “learn” that I am Jeff Eats- they ask- “So what’s a really good Chinese restaurant? For some strange reason, “people” or at least the “people” I meet, seem to have trouble finding good Chinese food here in South Florida! Between you guys and Jeff Eats, if you check this site, Jeff Eats has loads of good Chinese joints listed, or at least-I think they’re good!

With the above in mind, last night Jeff Eats, Mrs. Jeff Eats and another couple ate in Canton Star Chinese Restaurant in Miami. Applying Jeff Eats’ Brooklyn-Jewish-American Chinese Food Taste Test circa 1957, I gotta tell you that Canton Star Chinese Restaurant is a really good “mom & pop” reasonably priced Chinese restaurant. I’ll even go as far to tell you guys, that if this joint wasn’t in Kendall (which is a long drive from my home in Boca Raton) and was a whole lot closer to my home- I’d be a real steady customer!

Simple tale to tell… the ordered wonton soup, egg drop soup, egg rolls, bbq spare ribs, pan fried dumplings, fried chicken wings, shrimp with lobster sauce, General Tso’s chicken, roast pork fried, beef with oyster sauce, sweet & sour pork were all delicious! Now for sure, some dishes were better than others- but trust Jeff Eats when I tell you, everything was real good! If I had to single out dishes for special shout-outs, the wonton soup, fried chicken wings and beef with oyster sauce “Hello There”…

Let me wrap this up for you guys, if you’re looking for real good “American” Chinese food- Canton Star Chinese Restaurant is a winner! From Jeff Eats’ perspective, it’s Brooklyn 1957 all over again!

Canton Star Chinese Restaurant is open Sunday noon-10pm, Monday-Thursday 11:30am-10pm, Friday-Saturday 11:30am-10:30pm.

***** Lox & Bagel, 21065 Powerline Road, Boca Raton, Florida 33433, (561) 245-8363.

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!
