The Magic of Ron Lake

One of the world’s most celebrated illusionists, Rob Lake’s mind-blowing illusions have dazzled and entertained millions across the globe. His astonishing original illusions are uniquely presented as awe-inspiring storytelling on the grandest scale. In 2008, Rob became the youngest magician in history to receive the holy grail of the magic world — the Merlin Award – as ‘International Stage Magician of the Year,’ an industry equivalent of an Oscar. Named “The Top Illusionist in the World,” by Caesar’s Entertainment, this internationally renowned artist is not to be missed, in this mesmerizing and award-winning illusion spectacular.

***** 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 8/25/18. This contest has a winner.

***** Pizzoodles, 56 Royal Palm Pointe, Vero Beach, Florida 32960, (772) 567-4160.

First things first, don’t like the joint’s name!

Got a real good red sauce- mom & pop- Italian joint for you guys to checkout, Pizzoodles in Vero Beach.

Real simple concept at work here- table/booth seating, menu loaded with reasonably priced appetizers/ salads/ subs/ pizzas/ pastas/ entrees, open Tuesday-Friday 11:30am-9pm/ Saturday-Sunday 4pm-9pm/closed on Monday.

Last night, Jeff Eats, Mrs. Jeff Eats- along with Daughter Jeff Eats and Son Jeff Eats “re-discovered” Pizzoodles (see 4/17/16 writeup- below) and all four of us agreed that the joint’s name- sucked- its food was delicious and its service/ prices were right on the money!

As for Pizzoodles name, I guess- as Emmet Kelly once said…A rose by any other name would smell as sweet.”

You guys can check menu/prices/ info at pizzoodles.com.

***** Pizzoodles, 56 Royal Palm Pointe, Vero Beach, Florida 32960, (772) 567-4160.

This is a very simple tale to tell- Jeff Eats, Mrs. Jeff Eats and another couple did a recent dinner at red sauce Italian joint Pizzoodles and its food blew all four of us away! If Pizzoodoles was-by Jeff Eats’ Boca Raton home, I’d be one-very-steady customer! The joint covered every base- delicious food, super competent service, reasonable prices, big portions! For you guys who need further inducement to try Pizzoodles- the joint’s garlic rolls and cheese pizza alone were worth the Boca Raton to Vero Beach car ride!

For those of you who maybe thinking that Jeff Eats has lost his edge or something- the name Pizzoodoles “in my humble opinion” s-u-c-k-s big time!- and that Boca Raton to Vero Beach car ride “line”- is just my way of telling you folks who live or work in Pizzoodoles’ neighborhood, that the joint is an absolute must try!

You can check Pizzoodles.com for menu/prices/info.

Pizzoodles is open Monday-Friday 11:30pm, Saturday-Sunday 4pm-9pm.

Iconic and legendary singer/songwriter Bob Dylan returns to Ruth Eckerd Hall after his sold-out show in 2016! With a catalog that dates back more than a half century, this iconic singer-songwriter has been the recipient of multiple GRAMMY® Awards and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1988. Though his ‘60s songbook includes classics like Blowin’ in the Wind, Subterranean Homesick Blues, Like a Rolling Stone and I Want You, he has never stopped writing and recording critically acclaimed material such as his 2015 album release Shadows In The Night. His latest release, Fallen Angels, reached #7 on the U.S. albums charts and features twelve classic American tunes written by some of music’s most acclaimed and influential songwriters including Johnny Mercer, Harold Arlen, Sammy Cahn and Carolyn Leigh. The album showcases Dylan’s unique and much lauded talents as a vocalist, arranger and bandleader.
