Found a real good diner joint for you guys to checkout- Pop ‘n Sons Diner in Tampa.

Real easy tale to tell- free standing building, 24/7 diner, opened in 1975, counter/booth seating.

Jeff Eats, Mrs. Jeff Eats, Daughter Jeff Eats and Son Jeff Eats “found” Pop ‘n Sons Diner for dinner a couple of weeks ago- and I must-say that the joint didn’t disappoint…Now, if you’re a fancy schmancy kinda- person, the chicken fried steak/ chili/ hamburgers/ meatloaf/ philly cheesesteak/ chocolate cream pie that we ordered may not work for you…Hey! Big mistake!

Let me wrap Pop ‘n Sons Diner up by saying- lots of real good food for cheap money, pleasant service, cool 70’s diner “vibe”- made/makes this joint a winner in Jeff Eats’ book!

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

Galuppi’s (Pompano Beach)
Posted on August 10th, 2008

***** Galuppi’s, 1103 N. Federal Highway, Pompano Beach, Florida 33062 (954) 785-0226.

Last night, I had an absolutely terrific time at a joint named Galuppi’s in Pompano Beach. Just so you know, Galuppi’s which calls itself “Galuppi’s Restaurant, Patio Bar & Banquets” is actually located on the public Pompano Beach Golf Course… the view from its out-door patio of the course is absolutely amazing.

Galuppi’s is basically a restaurant/catering facility. There is a small indoor restaurant that has a large sit-at-bar, 4 booths and maybe a half-dozen hi-tops…outside, there is another sit-at-bar and loads of tables…there is also a banquet room attached to the restaurant that can be used for private parties or for restaurant customers. Now, to put this whole layout in perspective…go to Galuppi’s website at www.galuppis.com where you will find actual pictures of what I have been blabbing about, along with menu/prices/and other details.

Last night, Galuppi’s which does lunch and dinner 7 days a week and brunch on Sunday had The Beatles’ tribute band “Anthology” performing from 8pm-midnight. Suffice it to say, this joint was absolutely packed… the restaurant-the banquet room-the outside bar/patio…the band was on a small stage on the patio and I’ll bet you that from 8:30pm-10:30 pm (time I was there) there were at least 500-600 people maybe even more, eating…drinking…dancing. I am telling you, it was an absolutely great “party.” By the way, there was no cover charge or minimum…so for the price of a meal or a drink…or for that matter, just walking in…got you into this “concert.”

Just a quick note, “Anthology” was terrific. They were dressed in replicas of The Beatle’s Shea Stadium army-uniforms and had the requisite Beatle haircuts…they did some great covers of The Beatles’ hits. The group is extremely personable and their interaction with the crowd had the joint really jumping. Their faux British accents which came and went all evening long, added to the fun…and yes, they even have a left-handed bass player. You can check “Anthology” out at www.myspace.com/fab4anthology. I guarantee that based on last night’s action, Galuppi’s owners will have “Anthology” back for another gig in the very near future.

I already gave you this joint’s website…take a look at its menu. There are plenty of appetizers, salads, burgers, sandwiches, entrees and desserts to keep everyone busy…By the way, the prices are very reasonable and last night our waitress Bobbi-Lynn was absolutely terrific despite the fact that the joint was absolutely packed (and I do mean packed). Last night I had babyback ribs, I also sampled the crab-cakes, snapper francaise and steak kabobs. The food is decent. Personally I would put it about “1-notch” above the stuff you get in your typical neighborhood sports bar. Just so you know, Galuppi’s also has tons of flat screen tv sets inside and outside…Last night every set was tuned to the Olympic Games, so if “The Beatles” weren’t your game, you could scream for the American swimmers.

One thing that I found interesting…the banquet room has sound-proof glass. Amazingly, while eating in the room, you couldn’t hear the out-door crowd or the band at all.

Galuppi’s is open for lunch and dinner 7 days a week and for brunch on Sunday. According to its website, the joint has all kinds of entertainment and “specials”…so If you want to try Galuppi’s, I would suggest that you “call ahead” to find out “what’s on tap” (pun intended).

* AMC Theatres unveils $20-a-month rival to MoviePass.

Interesting “development” in the MoviePass saga…

AMC Theatres unveils $20-a-month rival to MoviePass

Associated Press
JAKE COYLE
Associated PressJune 20, 2018

NEW YORK (AP) — AMC Theatres, the world’s largest movie theater chain, on Wednesday unveiled a $20-a-month subscription service to rival the flagging MoviePass.

The theater chain announced a new service to its loyalty program, AMC Stubs, allowing subscribers to see up to three movies a week for a monthly fee of $19.95. That’s more expensive than the $9.95 monthly fee for MoviePass, but AMC’s plan gives access to premium format screenings like IMAX and 3-D.

The new subscription service is the latest salvo in a heated battle for what the movie business most craves: frequent moviegoers. AMC has been a vocal opponent of MoviePass’ model, calling its price level “shaky and unsustainable.”

But subscription services are especially popular among Millennials, who have proven difficult for theaters to attract. AMC’s leap into the subscription business suggests such services are only growing more vital to the movies business.

AMC Theatres CEO Adam Aron emphasized that AMC’s program was set at “a sustainable price.” Since MoviePass slashed its monthly fee, questions have mounted over the long-term viability of its economic model.

“AMC Stubs A-List is being taken to market at more than double the price of that charged by some of our competitors,” Aron said in a conference call with investors. “A good deal to consumers to be sure, but being done at a sustainable price point where we can be very confident that we will be profitable across the membership base and in turn, that we can share that increased profitability with our studio and premium format partners.”

Added Aron: “Other discounters, by contrast, will continue to be hemorrhaging cash.”

MoviePass has attracted 3 million members, but the stock price of the service’s parent company, Helios and Matheson, has dropped from $38 a share to 44 cents a share. MoviePass pays for full-priced tickets and sells them at a discounted rate in order to capitalize on user data.

MoviePass forcefully responded to AMC’s announcement on Wednesday.

“AMC has repeatedly disparaged our model as a way to discourage our growth because all along they wanted to launch their own, more expensive plan,” the company said on Twitter. “We want to make movies more accessible, they want more profit.”

AMC Stubs A-List membership plan, which also features concessions discounts, is set to debut Tuesday. Unlike MoviePass, subscribers will be allowed to see all three movies on the same day, and can watch the same movie repeatedly. Movies won’t carry over if a subscriber sees fewer than three films in a week.

AMC is estimating that subscription members will see an average of 2.5 movies a month. The theater chain expects the service could cost the company $5-10 million in ticket

About
Blues Beatles started during the breaks of the rehearsals of Today – an original band that Marcos Viana, Flavio Naves, Fred Barley, Bruno Falcão and Lancaster Ferreira started in 2010. Marcos, the singer, would invariably pick up his acoustic guitar and start playing Beatles songs. The other members of the band were amazed at how natural the songs sounded, as if he had written them himself. Being blues players the rest of the band started adding their blues twist to these “break songs”. One day Lancaster said: “Why don’t we mix these two things we love to play? We could call this Blues Beatles!” Everyone loved the idea and together they started the Blues Beatles in 2013.
The first version of the Beatles songs that caught people’s attention was Ticket To Ride. The video has now more than twelve million views on Facebook. The band has worked and reworked many different songs since it was formed, but only the ones that sound natural to their ears stay in the repertoire. The arrangements combine blues and soul grooves that suit the vocals of the songs while adding a different feel to them. Instrumental solos and improvisation, typical elements of the blues, are an integral part of the Blues Beatles style. Their fiery live performances showcase their individual and collective skills as soloists.
Be on the LOOKOUT for Blues Beatles coming to a town near you in Fall of 2017/Spring of 2018.

Great Value Cheeseburger Bites.

Real simple tale for you guys, yesterday afternoon Jeff Eats bought a package of Walmart’s house brand- Great Value Cheeseburger Bites ($5.67) at the Walmart Supercenter, 16205 South Military Trail, Delray Beach, Florida 33484…Followed- microwave instructions to a tee and all I can tell you- Great Value Cheeseburger Bites are a perfect example of the ancient Egyptian (or maybe it’s ancient Persian) saying that goes something like this…

“If you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything at all.”
