A recent e-mail received by Jeff Eats…
Hey Jeff!
Three months ago my husband and I retired and moved from Plainview, New York to Hunter’s Run Country Club in Boynton Beach.
A couple of weeks ago, I came across jeffeats.com and love the site. You sure have a load of recommendations and I like the fact that you’re smart enough to know that food reviewing is a totally subjective call.
Being retired we are really enjoy eating out almost every night. With that in mind, what’s your best call on a CASUAL GREEK joint within a reasonable driving distance of Hunter’s Run?
Looking forward to following jeffeats.com for years to come.
Best Regards,
Esther Abrams

Trust Jeff Eats when I tell you that Chris’ gyro wrap is off the chart-it is absolutely delicious. Just so you know, the original Chris’ review (5/21/10) has a different address listed-when Jeff Eats first “tried” Chris’ it was a small hole in the wall, the new location is in the same shopping center and seats a ton of people inside and on an outdoor patio. Without any hesitation, Jeff Eats will tell you, Chris’ Taverna is one of the best Greek restaurants in South Florida.

Mime with noise, stand-up with no talking – drama with no acting. Tape Face has to be seen to be believed. A character with universal appeal, his performance is delightful, wry, many-layered and hilarious as he transcends the barriers of language and culture.

OK, so there is this guy who lives in Brick. He’s an actor recently seen in the film “Not Fade Away”. He has played a police officer on TV and many other roles during his as yet unheralded career. Perhaps the best role he has been given is that of Comedy Fundraising Machine. Jeff Norris has entertained crowds with his classic impressions, his perfect comic timing and his genial nature that just makes you want to like him. In a world of manufactured comedians and artists, he is the real thing – working in the trenches of comedy performing wherever he goes. When you walk into a Jeff Norris show you may have bills, stress or sorrow on your plate. When you leave you take nothing with you but your hurting cheeks, the tears in your eyes from the constant barrage of stories and one-liners and a feeling that you have just seen something special. For a good evening of fun and laughter, make sure to mark your calendar for this one.
* Exclusive Online Presale- SANTANA.
Big fans.
Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats are gonna catch some tickets!
* Moishe Plotnik’s Chinese Laundry- A True Story!
Walking through San Francisco’s Chinatown, a tourist from the Midwest was enjoying the artistry of all the Chinese restaurants, shops, signs and banners…..
When he turned a corner and saw a building with the sign ‘Moishe Plotnik’s Chinese Laundry.’
‘Moishe Plotnik?’ he wondered. “How does that belong in Chinatown?”
He walked into the shop and saw a fairly standard looking drycleaner, although he could see that the proprietors were clearly aware of the uniqueness of the store name as there were baseball hats, T-shirts and coffee mugs emblazoned with the logo “Moishe Plotnik’s Chinese Laundry.”The tourist selected a coffee cup as a conversation piece to take back to his office.. Behind the counter was a smiling old Chinese gentleman who thanked him for his purchase.
The tourist asked, “Can you explain how this place got a name like ‘Moishe Plotnik’s Chinese Laundry?’
The old man answered, “Ah..Everybody ask me that. It name of owner.”
Looking around, the tourist asked, “Is he here now?”
“It’s me, Me him!” replied the old man.
“Really? You’re Chinese. How did you ever get a Jewish name like Moishe Plotnik?”
“Is simple,” said the old man. “Many, many year ago I come to this country. I standing in line at ‘ Documentation Center of Immigration.’ Man in front of me was Jewish man from Poland .”
“Lady at counter look at him and say to him, “What your name?”
He say to her, “Moishe Plotnik.”
Then she look at me and say, What’s Your Name?
I say…………Sam Ting!
