At the young age of 15, Gottfried began doing stand-up at open mike nights in New York City, after a few short years, became known around town as “the comedian’s comedian.” After spending several years mastering the art of stand-up comedy, producers of the legendary NBC late night comedy show Saturday Night Live became aware of Gottfried and, in 1980, hired him as a cast member. Gottfried’s work in television soon led to roles in film. Most notable was his improvised scene as business manager Sidney Bernstein in the hit sequel “Beverly Hills Cop II,” for which the New York Daily News said, “Gilbert Gottfried steals the picture with a single scene”

Gottfried has made numerous memorable appearances on Comedy Central Roasts and the Comedy Central series, “The Burn with Jeff Ross.” Gottfried’s “Fifty Shades of Grey” reading (College Humor) received over 5 million views on YouTube. Gilbert has been a guest on “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno,” “The Late Show with Seth Meyers”, “@Midnight with Chris Hardwick” and numerous appearances on “The Howard Stern Show.” He also has had a recurring role on “Law and Order” SVU as TARU tech Leo Gerber. Stephen King on Gilbert Gottfried: “More than a national treasure, he’s a secret weapon. If we had had Gilbert Gottfried in World War II, Hitler would have given up in 1942.”

A recent e-mail received by Jeff Eats…

Hey Jeff,
You beat me and my husband down to Florida from Brooklyn by 27 years. We just moved into the Saint Andrews Country Club in Boca Raton. We are looking for a really good Chinese joint in the area that serves up delicious (as you call it) Brooklyn Jewish American Chinese Food. How about a name or two? By the way I’m a graduate of Midwood HS class of 67 and my husband graduated from Lincoln High School in 1964.
Thanks,
Laura Solomon

***** China Gardens Restaurant, 14400 Military Trail, Delray Beach, Florida 33484 (561) 498-5226.

A number of you guys e-mailed about a “mom & pop Chinese” joint…China Gardens Restaurant, telling me about how good the food was, blah, blah blah. Anyway… last night I gave this joint a shot and “right-you-were”…the food is absolutely delicious.

China Gardens Restaurant is as you would expect, a “hole in the wall” located in a non-descript small South Florida shopping center. Guaranteed (unless you are a recent arrival from Mars) you know exactly what the decor is…what the menu is…and what the price-points and “specials” are.

Now let’s talk food…like I said before, DELICIOUS. Now for the official-results of my “taste test”….wonton soup (A), egg drop soup (A), hot & sour soup (A), egg roll (B+), pan fried dumplings (B+), sweet & sour pork (A+), chicken egg foo young (A), sizzling steak (A), shrimp with vegetables (A), shrimp with lobster sauce (A), roast pork fried rice (B+)…

Now I may-be going out on a limb here, but…my money says that China Gardens Restaurant is probably better than your favorite neighborhood-Chinese joint. Let me go one step further, China Gardens could “make it” in New York City’s Chinatown.

Based on my first outing, I will definitely be back for a second round.

China Gardens Restaurant is open Monday-Saturday 11am-10pm and Sunday 2pm-10pm.

This contest started on 9/20/19. This contest has a winner.

***** Barone’s La Pizzeria, 5632 West Sample Road, Margate, Florida 33073 (954) 968-4396.

Barone’s La Pizzeria is a “Mom & Pop—red sauce” pizza joint located in Margate.
You can check its menu/prices at www.lapizzeriamargate.com.

You know and I know that “Mom & Pop” pizza joints are a dime a dozen-down here in old South Florida. I think the way it works…the strip center landlord first signs Publix, then Walgreens, then a Chinese takeout, then a pizza joint, then a dry cleaners…then a —-(you fill in the blanks)….then half of the businesses go bust…

Anyway, the other evening, I gave Barone’s La Pizzeria a shot- and I gotta tell you, the food is real-good. Jeff Eats’ party did pizza, shrimp scampi, veal parmigiana, meat lasagna, chicken & shrimp alfredo, penne ala vodka—and like I just said, real good!

As you know– over the past few years, old Jeff Eats has eaten-in his fair share of “Mom & Pop” Italian joints…and, to be perfectly honest with you, most of them barely get the job done, but then again, that’s the nature of the beast…”cheap is cheap”….”you get what you pay for”…”one if by land, 2 if by sea.” Trust me on this one, Barone’s La Pizzeria is REAL GOOD…if you live or work near the joint, I highly recommend that you give it a try.

By the way, Barone’s La Pizzeria is right across Sample Road from the Seminole Casino Coconut Creek and is maybe a 3-minute drive (west) from the Festival Flea Market on Sample Road.

Barone’s La Pizzeria is open Sunday-Thursday 11am-10pm and Friday-Saturday 11am-11pm.

Got a real good Chinese joint for you guys to checkout, Gar Sing Chinese Restaurant in Miami.

Real short tale to tell you guys, last night Jeff Eats, Mrs. Jeff Eats, Daughter Jeff Eats, Son Jeff Eats and two of Jeff Eats Son’s buddies did dinner at Gar Sing- and the joint’s food passed Jeff Eats’ Brooklyn Jewish American Chinese circa 1957 Food Taste Test- with flying colors!

Believe me when I tell you guys- this takeout/dine-in (handful of tables) joint’s food was off the chart delicious! No bs- here, Jeff Eats is kinda thinking that Gar Sing could easily compete with NYC Chinatown’s best joints!

Let Jeff Eats wrap Gar Sing Chinese Restaurant up for you guys- the joint is open Monday 2pm-10pm, Tuesday-Sunday noon-10pm- and you can check its menu/info at garsingmiami.com.

Yesterday, Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats “discovered” Tropic Chill Deli and I gotta tell you guys that the joint’s food absolutely killed! Just between us- if Tropic Chill Deli was in Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats’ Boca Raton neighborhood- we would definitely be real steady customers. Dynamite food, reasonable prices, pleasant staff and a menu loaded with a ton (and I do mean a ton) of items to choose from, make this joint an absolute home-run!

You get Three Hysterical Broads Off Their Medication, a stand-up show that will give you an inside look at the comedic minds of three of the most hysterical women to ever hit the stage.

Vanessa Hollingshead
The moment Vanessa hits the stage, she hits her audience with her insatiable love of what she does. She’ll talk with them and joke with them by telling stories from her life and through the lens of her incredibly larger than-life, poignant hysterical characters she’s met along the way. By the end of Vanessa’s show, her audience who was once full of strangers, she is able to turn into new best friends and extended family. While Vanessa’s real family was out there busy getting high, Vanessa was out there busy getting laughs. Vanessa is an accomplished actor, performance artist, and writer with a TV pilot currently in the works called, Take My Life, Please!

Julia Scotti
Julia’s high-octane machine gun delivery, combined with her hilarious, groundbreaking, and thought-provoking views on most everything, has ignited a buzz across the country. Julia was a quarter-finalist and fan favorite on season 11 of America’s Got Talent NBC 2016 and a judge’s favorite with Simon Cowell saying, “you genuinely made me laugh.” Reminding us how to laugh, people of ALL ages and ALL persuasions just can’t get enough of this ‘Crazy Old Lady of comedy.’ Her current CD Hello Boys…I’m Back! is still hot and climbing.

Lynne Koplitz
Born in New York, but raised in Florida, Lynne Koplitz never lost her Long Island bite. After graduating from Troy University in 1992 with a degree in Theatre Arts and receiving a masters in Education Language Arts, Lynne began following her passion into comedy. Since that day, she has experienced a whirlwind of success on both stage and television. Lynne became the first woman since Roseanne Barr to sign a development deal with legendary producer Tom Werner at Warner Brothers.
