Got a really cool “music-dance-eat-drink” joint for you…The Stage located in Bonita Springs.

Sometimes the “music” is free and sometimes there is a cover charge. To round things out, The Stage has a full-bar and a menu loaded with very reasonably priced “decent enough” appetizers, salads, burgers, sandwiches and meat/chicken/seafood entrees.

***** Nonno’s Cucina e Pizzeria, 7400 North Federal Highway, Boca Raton, Florida 33487, (561) 989-8870.

Got an absolutely off the chart-terrific “mom & pop” red sauce Italian joint for you guys to checkout, Nonno’s Cucina e Pizzeria in Boca Raton.

Real simple story…Hole in the wall that serves absolutely dynamite food. Last week- Jeff Eats, Mrs. Jeff Eats, Daughter Jeff Eats and Son Jeff Eats “discovered” Nonno’s Cucina e Pizzeria for dinner and I’m telling you- the joint’s stuff- killed! If you’re a fancy schmancy kinda person, best guess- Nonno’s Cucina e Pizzeria- isn’t gonna work for you! If on the other hand, you’re into no frills “mom & pop” red sauce Italian joints- that serve reasonably priced outrageously delicious food, you now know where to go!

Let me wrap-up Nonno’s Cucina e Pizzeria by telling you guys- that it’s open Monday-Saturday 11am-10pm/closed Monday, menu/prices/info at eatatnonnos.com and that it’s an absolute must try!

***** Peters Road Deli, 4353 Peters Road, Plantation, Florida 33317, (954) 587-5456.

Got a real good reasonably priced sub/sandwich/salad/pasta joint for you guys to checkout- Peters Road Deli in Plantation.

Three guesses, how the joint got its name- and the first two guesses don’t count!

Simple tale here- order/pickup at counter, inside wall counter seating, menu of hot/cold subs-sandwiches/salads/pasta dishes, open Monday-Saturday 9am-5pm/closed Sunday.

Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats discovered Peters Road Deli a couple of weeks ago and I gotta tell you guys, the joint’s food absolutely killed!

Now- you guys and Jeff Eats both know that sub joints are literally a dime a dozen down here in sunny-Florida- with that in mind, trust me when I tell you that Peters Road Deli makes real (and I do mean real) delicious stuff!

Let me wrap Peters Road Deli up for guys by saying- that if the joint was a drop closer to Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats’ Boca Raton abode- we’d be real-steady customers!

* Win A $10 Jack’s Old Fashion Hamburger House Gift Card.

Jeff Eats got a $10 Jack’s Old Fashion Hamburger House Gift Card to give to one of you guys…

The game- the first 15 reader-comments” received – will be entered in a “blind hat pick”! You can submit as many comments as you’d like but- Please, only 1- reader comment – per day…play fair!

The $15 Gift Card is good at both- Jack’s Old Fashion Hamburger House, 4201 North Federal Highway, Oakland Park, Florida 33308 (954) 565-9960 & 591 South Cypress Road, Pompano Beach, Florida 33060, (954) 942-2844. You can check locations/menu/prices/info at jacksoldfashionhamburgers.com.

***** Jacks’ Old Fashion Hamburger House, 4201 North Federal Highway, Oakland Park, Florida 33308 (954) 565-9960…&…591 South Cypress Road, Pompano Beach, Florida 33060, (954) 942-2844.

Jack’s Old Fashion Hamburger House has 2 South Florida locations…the Oakland Park joint opened in 1972 and the Pompano Beach store in 1973.

Jack’s is a fast-food hamburger joint. Jack’s has other stuff, but HAMBURGERS ARE THE GAME. Both Jack’s locations are literally “landmarks.” They are always busy. The hamburgers are very-very good. The fries are okay, but nothing to write home about. Over the years, I must have eaten (combined) in the 2 different locations something like 30 times. These joints are fast-food joints circa 1970. I like the “unmodern” (if that’s a real word) look…old tables and no stainless steel/formica/vivid colors/signage that joints like Burger King, Wendy’s etc have. I also like the “crowd” that these joints draw. Guys in suits, families, blue color workers…the parking lots, have cars in every price range…the point, Jack’s has a legendary following in South Florida.

Now for the good news and bad news…To be perfectly honest with you, I use to make special trips to eat at Jack’s…Now that Five Guys Burgers & Fries has started to open in the South Florida market, I would rather eat at Five Guys than Jack’s. Like I said, Jack’s hamburgers are very-very good… while Five Guys’ hamburgers and fries are terrific. Though it’s a story for another day, Five Guys Burgers & Fries is quickly developing a cult following in South Florida…and for that matter, all of the United States.

Don’t get me wrong…you won’t be disappointed eating at Jack’s…which is open 7 days a week from 10:30am-9:30pm…but this 1970’s icon is now getting some real tough competition from Five Guys.

***** Fish Shack, 2862 Northeast 17th Avenue, Pompano Beach, Florida 33064, (954) 586-4105.

Jeff Eats recently “discovered” an absolutely amazing “mom & pop” fish joint…Fish Shack in Pompano Beach.

Wanna talk hole-in-the-wall? The joint is located in a miniscule bombed-out strip center…maybe table seating for 20 and 5 at the bar. Fish Shack’s menu is loaded with fish-stuff…that said, it has hamburgers, chicken breast sandwiches, wraps, salads and chicken wings for the non-fish eaters that may-be in your party. Outrageously delicious reasonably priced…blackened red snapper–grilled yellow fin tuna–conch fritters–fried oysters–cheeseburger–shrimp burger.

Every so often Jeff Eats comes across an absolute HOMERUN…Fish Shack is a GRAND SLAM!

Like I said a few seconds ago…hole in the wall, fabulous food.

I highly recommend that you try Fish Shack. The bet here–you won’t be disappointed.

Fish Shack is open Monday-Saturday 11am-9pm, closed on Sunday.

Burger King Just Fired a Huge Shot in the Fast Food Wars: $5 for a Month of Coffee
You could save literally hundreds of dollars on coffee every year.

Published March 18, 2019
by Rebecca High

The only thing better than a sweet hit of that morning caffeine is getting a discount on it. That’s why Burger King’s new deal might change how you drink coffee.

The fast food giant has essentially launched the Netflix of coffee: a coffee subscription service where, for $5 a month, you can fuel yourself with a small, hot black coffee each day at participating Burger King locations.

How to Use the Burger King Coffee Subscription
Download the Burger King app for iOS or Android (or sign into your account if you’ve already taken advantage of BK’s previous mobile-only deals).
Sign up for the BK Cafe Subscription Program, and prepay $5 for the month. The subscription will automatically renew, so if you just want to try it out, set yourself a reminder for the end of your billing cycle to re-evaluate keeping the subscription.
After you sign up, each new calendar day for the next month you can swing by any participating Burger King (excluding some locations – check here to make sure there’s a location near you) and use your Burger King app to unlock a “free” small, hot black coffee. The coffee subscription does not include other drinks, types of coffee or food, but it’s reasonable to assume this may be a test run for future fast food subscriptions.
Potential Monthly Savings
A small black coffee at most Burger Kings costs $1, give or take local tax. If you drink one coffee each day for the month of April without the subscription service, you’ll pay $30.

But with the new subscription, you’re now paying $5 for 30 cups of coffee in April. That breaks down to just over 16 cents per day for your coffee fix and cuts your caffeine costs by about $25 — or almost 84 percent. Multiply that by a year, and you’re saving hundreds of dollars.

Even if you only buy Burger King coffee five times per week, you’re still drinking approximately 20 cups of coffee per month. Using the Burger King Cafe Subscription program you’ll save $15, or 75%, of your total costs.

And for the Starbucks drinkers out there, the Burger King coffee subscription is like getting a full month of coffee for less than the price of a Venti Latte and a cookie.

What better way to deal with your daily commute than by enjoying a coffee that’s already been paid for?

And to keep up with the latest fast food news and discounts, take a second to set a Deal Alert with us.

Thanks to msserious for spotting this deal.

* Comedian Greg Hahn.

If you wanna see one of the most brilliantly- funny comedians currently working America’s comedy club/casino/resort/event circuit- then you gotta go see Greg Hahn!

Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats recently saw Hahn’s stand-up act at the Boca Black Box- and I am telling you guys, the man is a phenomenally funny comedian!

Don’t miss him!

Just announced…

Comedian Greg Hahn

A favorite on the nationally syndicated Bob and Tom Radio Show. He has appeared on Late Night with Conan Obrien, Comedy Central, CBS, ABC, FOX, MTV and CMT. Greg Hahn has parlayed his absurdly energetic, all out style of physical humor, one liners and crowd work into a performance of immediate pandemonium and continuous laughs. His unique stylings have led to numerous television, corporate and theater appearances throughout the US and Canada. Greg was raised in South Florida where in high school he amused the Catholic nuns by poking holes in his pockets enabling pencils to shoot out of his pant leg. As a college basketball player, his enjoyment of half court shots earned him a sweet spot on the bench.As a Captain in the Marines Corps, Greg kept his men highly motivated and could not overemphasize that camouflage is continuous. While a buyer for Lockheed Corporation, he thought why make $200 a day, when I can be a comedian and make that in a week .After several serious jobs where he refused to be serious, Greg turned pro as a stand up comedian and landed a job as emcee for a theme park lumberjack show. This supplied him with four audiences a day, intoxicated ax swinging lumberjacks, and a log rolling dog. Soon afterwards, he worked as stuntman in the Wild Wild Wild West Stunt Show at Universal Studios. For $20 an hour, I would run out and get hit in the head with a stick, perfect! He continually honed his style of comedy then headed to New York City. While in New York, Greg developed into a touring headliner and costarred in the independent film Tomorrow Night which premiered at theSundance Film Festival. Then, after successful shows at the Montreal and Chicago Comedy Festivals, Greg enjoyed television appearances on Late Night with Conan OBrien (NBC), Premium Blend (Comedy Central), Make Me Laugh (5 episodes, Comedy Central), Louis CKs Pulp Comics (Comedy Central), 30 Seconds to Fame (Fox), Cedric the Entertainer Presents (Fox) and Star Search (CBS). When appearing on Star Search, Greg was spotted by Tom Griswold of the nationally syndicated Bob & Tom Radio Show. Greg has since established himself as a favorite guest on the show and starred on the Bob @ Tom Comedy Central Special. He also headlines the Friends of The Bob @ Tom Theater Tour, which included a stop at the Las Vegas Comedy Festival. A return appearance to the Montreal Comedy Festival along with the Halifax Comedy Festival and wild appearances on Country Music Televisions Comedy Stage, Comics Unleashed with Byron Allen and running for president on TOSH.O (Comedy Central) have added to Gregs popularity. Greg now lives in Los Angeles where he continues to infiltrate the TV and movie biz with the intention of buying a llama farm and a kitchen fish tank.
