Voted one of the top 10 comedians in New York City by the Hollywood Reporter and BackStage, MODI is one of the comedy circuits most sought after performers. Featured on HBO, CBS, NBC, ABC. Comedy Central, Howard Stern and E! Entertainment, MODI has received rave reviews in the New York Times, Time Out NY and the New York Post.

Born in Israel, MODI moved to the United States when he was seven. After college, MODI worked as an investment banker and had no plans to become a stand up comedian. But one open mic changed everything.

Amelia David of BackStage raves, MODI has a young Sid Caesar esque talent for creating accents and characters, making him appeal to a diverse market. According to the Los Angeles Times, MODI is versatile and quick on his feet. He can read an audience in a beat and improvise so nimbly that he keeps any audience, regardless of age, race and gender, laughing.

MODI has appeared in several feature films and played leading roles in two: Waiting for Woody Allen, which won the LA Film Festival, and Stand Up, a feature-length film. According to Variety, MODI delivers a naturally funny performance with a tremendous amount of energy on screen.

MODI is a regular performer at the New York and Los Angeles comedy clubs and headlines around the country. He has also gone on tour in the United Kingdom, Holland and Israel and performs in comedy festivals and special venues, including Montreals Just for Laughs Comedy Festival and The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C.

Jeff Eats first told you guys about Council Oak Steaks & Seafood back on January 9, 2007- that ‘review’ is down-below! Until last night’s dinner, Jeff Eats (as a guest of one of the Casino’s “players”) hadn’t been back!

Just a quick note, absolutely nothing whatsoever has changed at the Council Oak Steaks & Seafood with its food being just FAIR, its service just FAIR and its menu being OVERPRICED.

Let me go one step further and tell you guys that – free or not free, Council Oak Steaks & Seafood is an absolute waste of time and money!

***** DISH OF THE WEEK (Sunday- 3/14/18- UTZ Gourmet Caramel Popcorn Clusters).

One of Jeff Eats’ favorite menu items…

Latest Review: None

If you’re a fan of caramel popcorn- the bet here is that you’re really gonna enjoy UTZ’s Caramel Popcorn Clusters. Jeff Eats discovered them a few days ago at the Target located at 21637 SR 7, Boca Raton, FL 33428- (561) 483-3400 and I gotta tell you guys that the clusters were absolutely delicious!

If you “search” you will find that UTZ products are literally retailed by a million different stores/chains- including Bed Bath & Beyond, Target and Walmart. As previously mentioned, the pictured 20oz popcorn canister was purchased at Target- UTZ also makes a 19oz canister of UTZ Gourmet Caramel Popcorn Clusters (which is identical in looks to its 20oz canister) so be sure to check oz/price and then do the math!

Pizzacraft Artisian Pizzeria, 330 Southwest 2nd, Fort Lauderdale, FLorida 33312, (954) 616-8028.

There is an old Polish saying or maybe it’s an old Latvian saying…”If you don’t have something nice to say, don’t say anything.”

With the above in mind, yesterday Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats ate lunch at Pizzacraft Artisian Pizzeria- basic cheese pizza pie, meatball sub, ricotta appetizer and…since I am neither Polish nor Latvian, lousy way-overpriced crap!- the $18 6-slice pizza was under-cooked (the cheese was room temperature) and the dough was topped with a puddle (trust Jeff Eats, “puddle” is being kind) of “who knows what reddish/yellow liquid”- the $14 meatball sub tasted like/and had the same consistency as the Sloppy Joes that P.S. 179’s cafeteria use to serve for lunch in 1957 (trust Jeff Eats, in 1957 nobody lined-up for seconds on those Sloppy Joes) and the $9 ricotta appetizer had no taste-whatsoever!

To be perfectly honest with you, after paying the $56- bill (tax and tip included) I felt like an absolute schmuck for having chosen this joint to eat at. What a freaking rip-off!

Now you guys and Jeff Eats both know that food “reviewing” is a subjective game…what I may like, you on the other hand may hate -and vice versa…with that in mind, printed down below is Pizzacraft’s description of itself…

Trust Jeff Eats, lousy way-overpriced crap!

***** Jeannie’s One Stop Diner, 14664 Front Beach Road, Panama City, Florida 32413, (850) 230-4342.

Got a real good “mom & pop” diner for you guys to checkout- Jeannie’s One Stop Diner in Panama City.

Pretty basic concept at work here- breakfast/lunch, open 7 days a week 7am-2pm, table seating.

Yesterday, Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats found the-joint and I gotta tell you- the breakfast that we had was right on the money!. Delicious food, big portions, reasonable prices, super pleasant service.

Like I said 2 seconds ago, Jeannie’s One Stop Diner is open 7am-2pm. Nice selection of breakfast and lunch stuff, but for sure- not the biggest menu selection in the diner-industry. That said, I’m kinda thinking that you’ll find what to eat and no one in your party is gonna starve or nothing!

You regular Jeff Eats’ readers know that both Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats are huge fans of the “mom & pop” diner concept- here it’s called Jeannie’s One Stop Diner…by you, it may-be called something like Ralph’s Diner, Arnold’s Place or Tom’s Restaurant- I’m sure you get the picture! Small joints that cater to a neighborhood clientele, flat top grills, waiters and waitresses hustling their butts off to make a buck, good solid food, reasonable prices and decors/vibes that scream USA!

Enough pontificating here, Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats really enjoyed Jeannie’s One Stop Diner- if you live, work, play or visit Panama City- check it out!.
