Just in case some of you guys were wondering where-how Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats “celebrated” Christmas Day (12/25/19)…(not gonna go into the whole – Jews eating Chinese food on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day thing)!

NO IFS ANDS OR BUTS- ONE OF THE BEST CHINESE RESTAURANTS IN FLORIDA!

Posted on June 8th, 2017

***** Tasty Wok BBQ & Noodle House, 1246 East Colonial Drive, Orlando, Florida 32803, (407) 896-8988.

Consider this tale a “Public Service Announcement.”

Jeff Eats first told you guys about Tasty Wok BBQ & Noodle House way-back on 2/13/13!

For what it’s worth, I’m kinda thinking that now that it’s SUMMER over the next 3-months, a number of you folks are gonna be visiting the Orlando area for various reasons (vacations, college enrollment, etc.). With that in mind, if you don’t “try” Tasty Wok BBQ & Noodle House, 1246 East Colonial Drive, Orlando, Florida 32803, (407) 896-8988- when you’re in Orlando- you’ll be making a huge mistake!

Trust Jeff Eats on this one, some of the best “real” and Brooklyn Jewish American Chinese Food circa 1957 in Florida!

Just so you know, Jeff Eats, Mrs. Jeff Eats and a couple of friends ate there last Sunday night (6/4/17)- thus the “Public Service Announcement.”

No bs- this Tasty Wok joint could- easily compete with the best Chinese joints in New York City and San Fransico’s- China Towns!

***** Tasty Wok BBQ & Noodle House, 1246 East Colonial Drive, Orlando, Florida 32803, (407) 896-8988.

This is a very simple Chinese food “story.”

Jeff Eats recently tried Tasty Wok BBQ & Noodle House in Orlando and it was absolutely dynamite.

Real simple…this is a bare bones “hole in the wall” joint—ducks hanging from the ceiling.

Tasty Wok’s menu will please you-guys who want “real” Chinese food (whatever REAL means?)–and also guys like me who are looking for Brooklyn-Jewish circa 1950’s Chinese food.

A recent outing had Jeff Eats, Mrs. Jeff Eats and a bunch of friends doing:
1. wonton soup,
2. egg rolls,
3. fried meat dumplings,
4. roast pork,
5. sweet and sour pork,
6. general tso’s chicken,
7. shrimp in lobster sauce,
8. pepper steak,
9. roast duck
10. shrimp fried rice

Like I said a few seconds ago…absolutely dynamite. No fooling around here, some of the best Chinese food Jeff Eats has eaten in Florida.

Nothing for nothing, food and decor-wise, Tasty Wok could successfully compete with most of NYC Chinatown’s players. To be perfectly honest with you, I’d match Tasty Wok’s roast duck and roast pork up against NYC Chinatown’s best joints–any day of the week. Those two “items” alone, were worth the price of admission.

You Orlandoians got a homerun going here.

Tasty Wok is open 7 days a week 10:30am-9:30pm.

Just a “suggestion”—check the YELP reviews on this one. There are something like 100 reviews and other than a small handful—most folks loved Tasty Wok. The comments should “give” you some more color about Tasty Wok.

Just checked the Boca Black Box box-office (bocablackbox.com) and goldstar.com (discount tickets) and there are only a handful of tickets left for Motown Magic’s Saturday, December 28th, 2019- 7pm & 9pm shows. So if you wanna go and don’t yet have tickets- time to make your move…

Got a real good New Year’s Eve idea for you guys…

Complimentary New Year’s Eve Concert: Majesty Of Rock- The Music of Journey & Styx

Tuesday, December 31st, 2019 8:30pm until 12:30am January 1st, 2020

Isle Casino
777 Isle of Capri Circle,
Pompano Beach, FL, 33069
Info: (800) THE-ISLE islepompanopark.com/events

From islepompanopark.com

You ready for New Years Eve? It’s going to be a fun night here at Isle Pompano Park! In addition to great food and slots, you can also enjoy the music of Majesty of Rock, who will be rocking out and bringing us into the new year from 8:30pm to 12:30am.

If you’re not familiar, Majesty of Rock is a talented group of musicians who banded together to faithfully re-create the sound and feel of the two super groups: Journey and Styx. Fronted by the masterful voice of John D’Agostino, this band also boasts the talents of four exceptional artists who not only capture every nuance of Journey in their iconic Steve Perry days, but also the vocal essence of Dennis DeYoung and Tommy Shaw of Styx.
——-

And…before or after the concert or for that matter during a band break- catch a bite at- Myron’s Delicatessen which is located in the Isle Casino.

Posted on August 12th, 2008

***** Myron’s Delicatessen, 1800 SW 3rd Street, Pompano Beach, Florida 33069 (800) 843-4753.

Last night I played some poker at the Isle Casino & Racing at Pompano Park. After losing only 22 bucks (just in case my wife is reading this) I and a couple of friends had a “bite” at Myron’s Deli which is located in the casino-facility.

Myron’s is a New York City Kosher Style Deli…the joint is done-up to look like a deli circa 1950s. Just so you know, all of the restaurants at the Isle are owned/operated by the Isle of Capri Casino…take a look at its website at www.isleofcapricasino.com for a list of restaurants/hours/and other details.

Last night, Myron’s passed the pastrami, corned beef, brisket test. The sandwiches were nice sized. The meats were as good as those served in your favorite neighborhood bagel joint. As for prices, $3-$4 more than what the local joints get…Hey! come on, the casino is like a movie theatre or an amusement park, you are what they call a “captive audience,” so you pay more, it’s just that simple. Have you seen what it costs to “feed” a family of 4 at a Heat or Marlins’ game?

You now know about a joint where you can get a nice deli sandwich, soup, knish…assuming Lady Luck hasn’t entirely wiped you out.

Myron’s is open Sunday-Thursday 11am-1am and Friday-Saturday 11am-3am.

Don’t miss it!

* Merry Christmas.

This list may come in handy for some of you guys tomorrow…

A Mezuzah?

A man was observant in the placement of mezuzahs
in his home finally made it in business.
As a reward, he treated himself to a new Lamborghini!
After buying it, he feels a sense of guilty driving
without a mezuzah on the door post of his auto
so he goes to the Orthodox Rabbi and asks
for a mezuzah for the Lamborghini.

“You want a mezuzah for what?” the Rabbi asks.
“It’s a Lamborghini,”

“What’s a Lamborghini?” asks the Rabbi.
“A sports car.”
“What? That’s blasphemy!” the Rabbi shouts.
“You want a mezuzah for a sports car?
Go to the conservatives!”
Well, the man is disappointed, but goes to the
conservative Rabbi and asks for a mezuzah.
“You want a mezuzah for what?” the Rabbi asks.

“For my Lamborghini”, the man replies.
“What’s a Lamborghini?” asks the Rabbi.
“A car, a sports car.”
“What kind of sports car?” asks the Rabbi.
“Italian.”
“What? That is blasphemy!” the Rabbi shouts.
You want a mezuzah for a Goyishe car?
Go to the Reform!”

Again, the man feels guilty and disappointed,
but goes to the Reform Rabbi.
“Rabbi,” he asks, “I’d like a mezuzah for my Lamborghini.”
“You have a Lamborghini?” asks the Rabbi.

“You know what it is?” says the man.
“Of course! It’s a fantastic Italian sports car.
What’s a mezuzah

Posted on October 27th, 2017

***** Gramma’s Bakery, 1446 South Military Trail, Delray Beach, Florida 33445, (561) 496-0185.

This tale gets filed under- some-things bear repeating…first told you guys about Gramma’s bakery on 12/1/15…

Gramma’s Bakery is as close as you’re gonna get to the terrific neighborhood bakeries that dotted Brooklyn, Queens, Manhattan, (The) Bronx and Staten Island in the 1940s-1950s-1960s.

This always busy hole in the wall- (which is owned by The Boys Farmers Market, 14378 South Military Trail, Delray Beach, Florida 33484, (561) 496-8123) makes off the chart- reasonably priced delicious- cakes, breads, pies, pastries, rolls and cookies!

Trust Jeff Eats on this one, Gramma’s stuff will put the kibosh on any diet you’re on or planning to go on!

Open 7 days a week 9am-5pm.

Gramma’s Bakery is an an absolute must try!

***** Gramma’s Bakery, 14466 S Military Trail, Delray Beach, Florida 33484, (561) 496-0185.

Got an absolutely terrific bakery for you guys, Gramma’s Bakery in Delray Beach.

Gramma’s is owned/operated by The Boys Farmers Market- which is one of Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats favorite “markets” to shop in…Jeff Eats got a whole bunch of Boys’ “reviews” if you’re interested!

Gramma’s is a hole-in-the-wall retail joint. The “baking area” is in the back of the store. Jeff Eats is thinking (actually knows) that many of the items carried in The Boys’ bakery- is baked at Gramma’s which is a 2 minute walk from The Boys and vice versa (that’s how it usually works!).

Trust Jeff Eats when I tell you that Gramma’s baked goods are absolute dynamite- and super-reasonably prices. The joint’s selection covers the full gamut…cakes, cookies, pastries, breads, so on and so forth…The odds are, that you will find what you came for and leave with “it” and other stuff- that you didn’t come for!-happens to Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats each and every time!

Gramma’s Bakery is definitely one of the best bakeries in South Florida.

Gramma’s is open 7 days a week 9am-5pm.

One final thought, for you Brooklyn guys out there who might be “missing” Ebinger’s Bakery…for sure it’s not the real deal- but trust Jeff Eats, Gramma’s chocolate cake will- get you through the day quite nicely!

Bobby Caldwell- Singer, Songwriter, Composer, Producer
Tracing a twenty-eight year history from acclaimed soul stylist to in-demand pop and R&B songwriter, Bobby Caldwell is truly one of the most revered vocalists and songwriters in contemporary-music. With a fan base that dates from his first hits “What You Won’t Do For Love,” “Next Time I Fall,” and “Heart Of Mine,” Bobby appeals to a large and diverse crowd. R&B fans of his earlier “blue-eyed soul” chart toppers, youngsters who listen to urban contemporary, older fans of the classic “standards”, and the POPS symphony audiences agree that whatever Bobby Caldwell sings, will be thoroughly heart-rendering, brimming with swaggering confidence, and sensuality. His superb vocal mastery and his stage presence makes for great entertainment.
Bobby’s timeless classic, “What You Won’t Do For Love” has been recorded and sampled by more than 100 artists, including a rendition by Boys II Men on their hit album. A sample of Bobby’s song “Open Your Eyes” appeared in the Grammy nominated platinum rap hit “The Light” by Common. All combined, Bobby’s songs and samples have contributed to over 40 million sales. Artists as diverse as Tupac Shakur, Michael Bolton, Roberta Flack, Go West, Vanessa Williams and Notorious B.I.G. have all paid tribute to the blueeyed singer in the slouch hat. Most recently Bobby’s classic song was sung by Elliot Yamin during the final 3 round of American Idol 2006.
Something about Bobby keeps them coming back! Endearing himself to the audience, an immediate rapport ensues when he takes the stage! This guy loves what he’s doing!
Bobby Caldwell’s live performances are always electrifying! Drawing from his vast repertoire of rousing R&B, intimate smooth jazz stylings, and big band songs, Bobby is afforded the ability to entertain at any venue, for fans of all ages. In Japan and throughout Asia, he enjoys a feverish popularity, selling out shows and achieving gold and platinum status for his releases in those countries. In addition to heavy touring, Bobby starred as Frank Sinatra in the David Cassidy/Don Reo theatrical production “The Rat Pack Is Back” in Las Vegas, Nevada. Bobby received rave reviews for his performance, both from industry critics and from his loyal fans. As a singer, he has a successful career with numerous solo releases, which have earned him accolades far and wide. His songwriting skills have earned hits not only for himself, but also for well-known artists like Chicago, Boz Scaggs, Peter Cetera and Amy Grant, Neil Diamond and Al Jarreau. Revered as a songmaster and entertainer, Bobby is as timeless as his music!
