First told you guys about The Victory Dolls Present I Left My Heart At The Stage Door Canteen (Mizner Park Cultural Center- Boca Raton) on 5/31/19. Since that date, the show has added a second booking on Friday, 9/20/19 (8pm) at The Delray Beach Playhouse (tickets/info thedelraybeachplayhouse.com). The word that I am hearing, is that the show (based on rehearsals) is receiving tremendous booking interest from agents all over the United States and that after the Mizner Park Cultural Center and The Delray Beach Playhouse dates- maybe heading out for a national tour! I’m kinda thinking SRO is in the cards for both listed Florida dates- so if you wanna go, time to make your move on the ticket-front!

THE VICTORY DOLLS PRESENT I LEFT MY HEART AT THE STAGE DOOR CANTEEN

THE VICTORY DOLLS is a vintage, Andrews Sisters inspired, musical harmony group starring South Florida’s Leading Ladies of Theatre! Through music and great storytelling, this All-Star group of singers – which is the first of its kind in South Florida – seeks to honor our brave and courageous Veterans, Military and First Responders across the country, who work tirelessly to protect us all.

THE VICTORY DOLLS will take you on a sentimental journey through the music that inspired The Greatest Generation during WWII and the 1940’s era, as they entertain you with classic hits such as “Kiss Me Goodnight Sergeant Major,” “When the Lights Go On Again,” “Land of Hope and Glory,” “We’ll Meet Again,” “Hot Time in the Town of Berlin,” “White Plains of Dover,” and many of The Andrews Sisters’ greatest songs such as “Rum and Coca Cola,” “Shoo Shoo Baby,” “Pistol Packin’ Mama,” “Bei Mir Bist Du Schon” and “Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy.”

All Victory Dolls performances will help benefit, support and raise awareness of non-profit organizations that support these groups such as Honor Flight of South Florida, Gary Sinise Foundation, Wounded Warriors Families Support and many others.

For you guys who might care- Jeff Eats & Mrs. Jeff Eats are gonna be there- and “do” dinner around 5:30pm at the Dubliner Irish Pub which is literally 50 feet from the Mizner Park Amphitheater…

Posted on May 17th, 2009
***** Dubliner Irish Pub, 435 Plaza Real, Boca Raton, Florida 33432 (561) 620-2540.

Personally, I wouldn’t give you 5 cents for most of the Irish “pubs” in South Florida…darkly lit-dark wood-beer joints, with mediocre food, at best.

Dubliner Irish Pub located in Boca Raton’s Mizner Park…is the exception to the rule. For sure, it has the dark wood interior–and dark lighting… but its food is terrific. A recent outing had me “sampling” prime rib sliders, hamburger, shepherd’s pie, french fries and macaroni & cheese…all absolutely delicious. Throw in top-notch djs and bands (Thursday-Saturday) covering the 1960’s-2009, reasonable prices/pleasant waitstaff and an out- door dining patio for “people watching” the Mizner Park crowd…and you got a real good joint.

Dubliner’s menu has all of the “Irish” standards…plus loads of appetizers, salads, burgers, sandwiches and meat/chicken/seafood entrees. It’s got a real nice beer selection and hard stuff.

Dubliner Irish Pub is open 7 days a week 4pm-2am.

Definitely one of the best Brooklyn Jewish American Chinese Restaurants Circa 1957 in Florida- if the joint wasn’t so far from Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats’ Boca Raton abode- we would be real-steady customers!

Posted on November 29th, 2017

***** China Steak House 3, 8565 Coral Way, Miami, Florida 33155, (305) 262-1228.

Let’s file this tale in the “out of sight, out of mind” category!

Jeff Eats first told you guys about China Steak House 3 on 9/28/15- truth be told, hadn’t been back since, that is until last night’s dinner with Mrs. Jeff Eats, Daughter Jeff Eats and Son Jeff Eats. For the curious- as to why such a long hiatus from such a terrific Chinese restaurant?- I’m just guessing that the 123 mile round trip drive from Jeff Eats’ Boca Raton abode to China Steak House 3’s location had something to do with the roughly 2 year “out of sight of mind” equation!

Long story short, definitely one of the best Brooklyn Jewish American-Chinese circa 1957 joints in Florida!

End of tale!

***** China Steak House 3, 8565 Coral Way, Miami, Florida 33155, (305) 262-1228.

Got a real-good Chinese joint for you guys…China Steak House in Miami.

Jeff Eats, Mrs. Jeff Eats and another couple recently did dinner and I gotta tell you- some of the best Chinese food I’ve had down here in Sunny South Florida.

For you guys looking for “real” Chinese food- I don’t think so!…no broiled squid eyeballs, fried monkey noses or roasted elephant tits…just solid Brooklyn-Jewish-American-Chinese food circa 1957!

Real simple order:

Wonton Soup
Egg Drop Soup
Egg Rolls
Barbecued Spare Ribs
Roast Pork Fried Rice
Chicken Lo Mein
Sweet & Sour Pork
Pepper Steak
Shrimp With Lobster Sauce

Like I said a few seconds ago, right on the money/delicious… Brooklyn-Jewish-American-Chinese food circa 1957! The above order- give or take a Lobster Cantonese, or a Chicken Chop Suey here and there, is basically what every and I do mean every -(non-kosher) Brooklyn Jewish Family in the 50’s & 60’s ordered on Sunday Night at the local Chinese joint…same for the Jews of- Queens, Manhattan and “The” Bronx!-as for Staten Island- crappy sewers limited the number of Jews who lived there…for some reason, Jews needed good sewers while the Tony Sopranos of the world, the Irish and Italians didn’t! Go figure! That said, the Jews that did live there, stuck to the “script” as outlined above! One other 50’s and 60’s “thing”- we use to call it “Going For Chinks”- but from what Jeff Eats understands, the word “Chink” is now politically incorrect- and today, the proper term is Chinese or Asian…

Anyway,

You can check menu/prices at chinesesteakhouse3.com

One final thing, the joint makes a $19.95 “China Steak” (32oz- broiled prime sirloin steak with mixed Chinese vegetables) that- is totally-off the chart delicious- so if you eat here, make sure that you order it!

China Steak House 3 is an absolute home-run!

The joint is open Sunday 11am-10:30pm, Monday-Thursday 11am-10pm, Friday-Saturday 11am-11pm.

A recent e-mail received from reader Fran Berkowitz…

Hey Jeff,
My husband Greg and I are big fans.
Got a good one for you to checkout, Bagel Snack in Pompano Beach.
We recently (4 months ago) moved to the area from Marlboro, New Jersey and discovered this bagel joint.
We’ve eaten there 5 times and no question in our minds that it’s an absolute winner.
Love your site.
Thanks and please give Bagel Snack a try, you won’t be disappointed.
