Trust Jeff Eats- when I tell you that Steve Perry’s vocals are no match for Jeff Eats’ Journey covers!

***** Coffee District, 325 Northeast Avenue, Delray Beach, Florida 33444, (561) 455-0541.
Let’s describe Coffee District as…a 1600sq foot Starbucks type joint with a full boat of wines & beers– breakfast sandwiches, pastries, panini, salads and karaoke starting at 8pm every Friday night.

At this stage of this game check www.mycoffeedistrict.com for menu/prices/events/photos.

As many of you guys know–as hard as I try–Jeff Eats still can’t get his “head” around the concept of a $4-5 cup of coffee…I still remember Brooklyn’s Garfield Cafeteria’s 5 cent-cups —and yes, I know that Rudy Vallee is dead, that Maris hit 61 homers, that Roger Clemons didn’t use steroids and that gas isn’t 29 cents a gallon. Let’s just say, that some things just die-hard.

Anyway…last week I gave Coffee District a shot and I gotta tell you this hybrid coffee-wine & beer concept is very interesting. You coffee drinkers, wine drinkers and beer drinkers will be like foxes in a hen house…the joint has all kinds of coffees, wines, tap and bottled beers. For the “eaters” like me Coffee District’s got a handful of- breakfast sandwiches, pastries, panini, salads, appetizers…not a huge selection, but I will tell you, that the roast beef panini, bacon cheddar flat bread melt, grilled chicken pesto panini were delicious…with a special shout-out to that flat bread melt.

Just so you know…One of the highest compliments that Mrs. Jeff Eats has every paid me and I quote…”You eat like a reincarnated truck driver.”

With “truck driver” being the operative words here—Jeff Eats’ game really is- big greasy burgers, french fries covered in ketchup, pizza, beer battered onion rings, pan fried dumplings, bbq ribs, glazed donuts…not- sitting on a couch nursing a cup of coffee or glass of wine, wi-fiing away, waiting for amateur singers to take center stage. That said, I do appreciate when a CONCEPT is well executed and Coffee District absolutely-positively has the “local non chain-coffee/wine/beer relaxed neighborhood meeting place” concept down to a tee.

The best way to sum Coffee District up…a really good joint to enjoy a casual cup of coffee, beer or wine—and maybe-even bump into Jeff Eats as he has another one of those bacon cheddar flat bread melts.

For the record, Jeff Eats does a mean version of Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believin’.”

Coffee District is open Monday-Thursday 7am-10pm, Friday 7am-midnight, Saturday 8am-midnight, Sunday 8am-3pm.

Thirty-one minutes later, Jeff Eats (along with 2 cups of steaming hot black coffee and my daily copy of the New York Post) was a very-very happy camper!

If you can keep a secret, nobody and Jeff Eats means nobody- makes hot dogs and French fries as delicious as Nathan’s Famous in Coney Island does!

One last thought, although there are a number of Nathan’s “outlets” (check nathansfamous.com for locations) in Florida – Jeff Eats has yet to find even “one” that serves hot dogs and French fries as good as those made at the original Coney Island joint. Jeff Eats can’t explain “why”- but that’s what my tastebuds tell me!

* Gilbert Gottfried (Palm Beach Improv—West Palm Beach)

For what it’s worth, one of Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats’ all-time favorite comedians is Gilbert Gottfried- over the years, we’ve seen Gottfried “live” 5 times and each and every time he’s cracked-us up!

Gottfried is scheduled to appear at the Palm Beach Improv, 550 Rosemary Avenue, West Palm Beach, Florida 33410, (561) 833-1812 palmbeachimprov.com Thursday-Saturday (August 24th-August 26th). Tickets are 22 bucks (there is also a 2 drink minimum). If the Thursday date works for you, goldstar.com has $22 tickets listed at $10.

For those of you who have never been to the Palm Beach Improv- trust me, it’s a great looking showroom and every seat is good. Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats have been going there for years—to watch America’s top comics. Just a suggestion—in addition to the show, plan on eating at the Improv…the joint has a very reasonably priced menu and its burgers, cheesesteak sub, wings are probably as good if not better than the stuff your favorite sports bar serves-up.

For those of “you” who may-be from Mars—who don’t know who or what about Gilbert Gottfried, the Palm Beach Improv site has a video for you to watch- also printed below is the Improv’s “biography” for Gilbert Gottfried…

“Gilbert Gottfried: At the young age of 15, Gilbert Gottfried began doing stand-up at open mike nights in New York City and, after a few short years, became known around town as “the comedian’s comedian.” After spending several years mastering the art of stand-up comedy, producers of the legendary NBC late night comedy show Saturday Night Live became aware of Gottfried and, in 1980, hired him as a cast member. It wasn’t until a few years later when his true notoriety would begin when MTV hired him for a series of improvised and hilarious promos for the newly formed channel. This led to several television appearances on “The Cosby Show” and “Late Night with David Letterman.” Gottfried’s work in television soon led to roles in film. Most notable was his improvised scene as business manager Sidney Bernstein in the hit sequel “Beverly Hills Cop II,” for which the New York Daily News said that, “Gilbert Gottfried steals the picture with a single scene.” Aside from his glowing reputation in comedy clubs, Gottfried began to gain a reputation as the king of quirky roles in both movies and television. He appeared in such movies as “Problem Child,” “Problem Child II,” “Look Who’s Talking II” and “The Adventures of Ford Fairlane.” He was also the host of the very popular late night movie series “USA Up All Night.” After his stellar performance as the wise cracking parrot, IAGO, in the Disney classic “Aladdin,” Gottfried became one of the most recognizable voiceover talents. His signature voice can be heard in several commercials, cartoons and movies. Gottfried also is the voice of DIGIT in the long running PBS Series “Cyberchase.” Gottfried has been a regular on the new “Hollywood Squares” and is a frequent guest on “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno” and “The Howard Stern Show.” Gottfried appeared in the hit comedy documentary “The Aristocrats,” with Entertainment Weekly saying that, “out of the 101 comedians who appear on screen, no one is funnier – or more disgusting – than Gilbert Gottfried.” Part memoir, part twisted social commentary, part scratches on the bathroom wall, “Rubber Balls and Liquor,” Gottfried’s hilarious first-ever book, was recently released. Also recently released on both DVD and CD is “Gilbert Gottfried Dirty Jokes” featuring 50 non-stop minutes of Gottfried telling the funniest and filthiest jokes ever. The show was filmed live at the Gotham Comedy Club in New York City. Also featured on the DVD is some of the funniest bonus features ever, including wild stories, indignant ranting and celebrity impressions that will leave viewers crying for more. For this live performance, Gottfried puts aside political correctness and fires an onslaught of jokes that know no boundaries. At the end of the show, Gottfried tells what is known among comedians as the “Dirtiest Joke of All Time,” which is also the basis for “The Aristocrats.” Gottfried is one of the most sought-after comedians, and regularly performs live to sold-out audiences across North America.”
