Last night I found a great deal for you guys to checkout- Winn-Dixie: Stuff The Bucket.
Real simple concept…Winn Dixie has a self serve “wing bar” (which I first told you about on 11/11/16) teriyaki/ barbecue/ fried/ roasted / buffalo wings-
and now for just $9.99 you get to fill a Winn-Dixie 54oz bucket with any combination of wings that you’d like!
Just so you know, last night Jeff Eats did-his stuffing at the Winn Dixie, 7024 Beracasa Way, Boca Rston, Florida 33433, (561) 368-5442 and if you “stuff” like I did with-only “flats”- you should be able to fit (I mean stuff) 28 wings into the bucket!
For the curious, my combo included all 5 types of wings with the teriyaki/barbecue/buffalo killing it and the roasted/fried wings- ok- but definitley nothing to write home about!
You guys can check winndixie.com for info/store locations.
This contest started on 6/28/18. This contest has a winner.

With July 4th, 2018 rapidly approaching- do you guys honestly think that 242 years ago this guy could have sat around the table with Washington, Jefferson and Adams-and figured things out for us? If you think-yes, you’re only fooling yourselves because 2 seconds ago you didn’t even remember his name?
For you guys who don’t like Trump and Pence, all I can tell you is that you did it all to yourselves!
For you guys who like Trump and Pence, all I can tell you is that you lucked out beyond belief when Hillary Clinton got that nomination!

Real simple tale, outrageously delicious New York Style Pizza!
Posted on May 2nd, 2017
***** Pizza Bar, 1627 Collins Avenue, Miami Beach, Florida 33139, (305) 672-6880.
For all you guys out there looking for off the chart delicious New York Style Pizza (thin crispy crust, sweet sauce, loads of gooey cheese, oil drip when the slice is pointed down) you gotta checkout- Pizza Bar in Miami Beach. Real simple concept at work there- order/pickup at the counter, humongous slices/ subs/ salads/ wings/ stromboli/ other stuff, counter seating, handful of tables inside/ outside, open Monday-Wednesday 11am-2am, Thursday 11am-3:59am. Menu/prices/info at pizzabar.com.
Long story short, last night- Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats tried this joint and it blew us away. No bs- Pizza Bar’s pizza easily matched up against some of the best New York slices we’ve “enjoyed” over the past 60+ years in the 5- boroughs!
Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats also “did” a Greek salad and like the pizza it- was right on the money!
By the way, Pizza Bar’s wings and subs looked dynamite- so Jeff Eats is kinda thinking that Pizza Bar isn’t just a one trick pony- with the pizza! The next time Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats are at Pizza Bar, we’ll do some wings and subs, so we’ll know for sure!
Subs or no subs, wings or no wings- based on its pizza alone- Pizza Bar is an absolute must try!

* The Greatest Love of All: The Whitney Houston Show!
Story…
Apparently- the Broward Center’s “booker” thought that tribute show- The Greatest Love Of All: The Whitney Houston Show would do well (out of season) at the Au-Rene Theater on Friday, July 13, 2018 (8pm)-pricing tickets at $20-$79.50- he/she appears to have figured wrong- with loads of tickets still available (browardcenter.org)- with less than 2 weeks before show-time!
Just between you guys and Jeff Eats, nobody can sing like Whitney Houston did, period!
That said, tribute artist- Belinda Davids has some real strong pipes…
Tickets:
Au-Rene Theater at The Broward Center for the Performing Arts,
201 Southwest 5th Avenue, Fort Lauderdale, Florida 33312

Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats have seen the Blues Brothers Soul Band loads of times- trust me, these guys are absolutely awesome!
By the way, before the show-Jeff Eats, Mrs. Jeff Eats and our friends will be doing “pizza” at Basilico’s Original Hand-Tossed Pizza which is about 10 minutes away from the Wellington Amphitheater…
Posted on September 29th, 2014
***** Basilico’s Original Hand-Tossed Pizza, 9140 Forest Hill Boulevard, Wellington, Florida 33411, (561) 333-4949.
Last night, Jeff Eats took-out from red sauce Italian joint… Basilico’s Original Hand-Tossed Pizza in Wellington. and I gotta tell you, this restaurant makes some really delicious stuff.
Real simple concept, order at the counter/takeout…or the food is delivered to something like 6 inside booths/handful of outside tables. By the way, the restaurant is located in a very quaint cool looking “New England” style strip-center…which also has a Chinese joint, a Dunkin’ Donuts, an ice cream store, a custom cake- making store, a liquor store–you won’t think- you’re in Florida! Real interesting, in addition to ice cream and yogurt-the ice cream store sells fresh orange juice quarts/gallons-candy by the pound, and has a whole area for fresh flowers…the Chinese joint which is basically a takeout has 4 large 6- seat booths-for those who want to eat-in. Like I said 1 second ago, the strip center has a real different feel to it!
Anyway…
Jeff Eats “got to” Basilico’s around 6:30pm last night and there was something like 8 guys behind the counter making pizzas etc. and 2 young ladies at the register. In the 25 minutes or so that I waited for my order, every booth inside was taken and I watched numerous pickups and phone orders being taken…I didn’t notice anyone eating outside.
Basilico’s menu is loaded with appetizers, salads, pizzas, pastas, strombolis, calzones, hot/cold subs, entrees. You can check its menu/prices at basilicospizza.com.
Ordered items included large 16″ pizza ($9.99), Chicken parmesan sub ($7.99), sausage & peppers stromboli ($6.79), eggplant parmesan entrée (pasta side/garlic breadsticks- $10.59) and like I said 3 seconds ago, the stuff was really delicious.
Look!
Jeff Eats has been to his fair share of red sauce Italian joints down here in south Florida and- this Basilico’s joint is a huge winner. The food was really-solid, the prices CHEAP (I believe I’m suppose to say inexpensive or very reasonable)-trust me, Basilico’s gives you a ton of food for cheap-money-and the food isn’t crap quality!
Let me wrap this up for you, if Basilico’s was by my house (which unfortunately it isn’t) Jeff Eats would definitely be a very steady customer.
Basilico’s Original Hand-Tossed Pizza is open 7 days a week.
Fifty six years ago- unbeknownst to a 24 year old black doo wop lead singer from Brooklyn named Eugene Sampson Pitt his songs “My True Story” and “What Time Is It?” made a chubby white Jewish 12 year old boy from Brooklyn fall in love with doo wop and Rock N Roll forever…
Gene, in the ensuing years our paths sadly only crossed once- but trust me, you and the other members of Jive Five helped light the passion!
Rest In Peace
from mybeachradio.com
Quoting a line from his biggest hit, “We must cry, cry, cry our blues away.” Famed lead singer of the JIVE FIVE, EUGENE PITT has died at the age of 80. His biggest hit was “MY TRUE STORY” – a Top Three smash in the early 1960s. Eugene was able to follow that hit up with numerous others including “What Time Is It,” “Never Never,” “These Golden Rings” and “I’m a Happy Man.” Eugene continued to tour with his group until recently. He and his amazing music will be missed.
My name is Jeff. I was born and bred in Brooklyn, New York. Since 1991, I have lived in South Florida and have eaten in so many restaurants down here, that I now consider myself to be a food expert.
