***** Rainbow Palace, 2787 Oakland Park Boulevard, Fort Lauderdale, Florida 33306, (954) 565-5652.

House of Chan, if you like, you can go and “look” it up.

Suffice it to say, in the 1950s-1960s-1970s, the House of Chan located at 52nd Street and 7th Avenue, NYC- was one of America’s most famous upscale Chinese restaurants.

Old history (isn’t all history old?), Jeff Eats’ father had a “business” house account, so Jeff Eats, his brother, father and mother–enjoyed a number of meals at the House of Chan.

The House of Chan had fabulous food. The House of Chan had superb service. The House of Chan had a fabulous management team. The House of Chan had “style.”

No question in my mind, those House of Chan outings-shaped Jeff Eats’ thoughts on what upscale-dining is “suppose” to be.

Long story short,

The Rainbow Palace has fabulous food. The Rainbow Palace has superb service. The Rainbow Palace has a top shelf management team. The Rainbow Palace has “style.”

If you want TOP NOTCH CHINESE FOOD, TOP NOTCH UPSCALE SERVICE, A RESTAURANT WITH STYLE then get yourself over to the Rainbow Palace in Fort Lauderdale.

For those of you wondering as to what Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats “had”-house wonton soup, crispy steak, sesame chicken, chef’s fried rice.

For what it’s worth,

Both Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats found the food off the chart-but please keep in mind that you and us-Eats may-be polar opposites- on what constitutes good-great-lousy etc. That’s why Jeff Eats and you should never bet the farm on what some “critic” has to say about any particular restaurant or dish.

Anyway,

Jeff Eats thought the food was terrific…

By the way, Rainbow’s prices aren’t exactly cheap. Just a word to the wise, the joint’s portions are large- so figure on sharing stuff- and don’t over order,

You can check menu/prices at www.rainbowpalace.com

Rainbow Palace is open Sunday-Wednesday 5pm-10pm, Thursday noon-3pm & 5pm-10pm, Friday noon-3pm & 5pm-11pm, Saturday 5pm-11pm.

One final thought on this “food reviewing” thing…

How many times have you asked a total stranger who was leaving a movie theatre “What he or she thought about a picture?” See where Jeff Eats is going with this? As my Uncle Sam Ting (by marriage to my father’s sister) use to say

A funny Italian woman and a comical Irish man walk into a marriage…

No, that’s not the start of a bad joke. It’s the premise for the comedy show “Married with Laughter,” starring real-life couple and comedians Renee DeLorenzo and Jeff Norris and hosted by ventriloquist and magician Gemini Lombardi. The three professional comedians happen to be best friends and they turn a comical eye on life, love, and marriage with a funny and yet heart-warming evening of theater.

Jeff Norris is an energetic whirlwind favorite in Atlantic City and Las Vegas and has partnered with Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines. He has appeared in numerous television shows and films including HBO’s Boardwalk Empire and Oz, Good Morning America, My Super Ex-Girlfriend and Not Fade Away.

Renee DeLorenzo is one of the most likeable and quick-witted comedians on the circuit today, with her high-energy and relatable observations about family, marriage, sports and everyday life. The funny lady was a finalist in the Bud Light Ladies of Laughter competition. She’s a favorite in theaters, casinos and clubs around the country.

Gemini Lombardi combines comedy, illusions, ventriloquism, illusions, audience participation and fun as he hosts the evening. He began performing at 11, studied acting, dance, and choreography to enhance his stage presence and comedic talent. He is a headlining comedian at the Borgata Hotel and Casino in Atlantic City, Parx Casino and Carolines on Broadway in New York City. The award-winning magician and ventriloquist has appeared on NBC, Showtime and at hundreds of comedy clubs, casinos and resorts nationwide.

The show is a fast-paced look at the best, the worst and the funniest parts of marriage in an original comedy extravaganza of comedy and magic and more. You might even find yourself as part of the show.

Just a taste…

From ticketmaster.com:

Rick Snider’s voice masterfully brings all the power and emotion of Phil’s songs to life, and his stage presence makes you believe you’re seeing the real deal. He has performed worldwide for over a million fans. Rick was the original Robert Plant for Led Zepagain. He also supplied the Steve Perry vocals touring live with original Journey drummer Aynsley Dunbar. Rick was contracted by Fox Studios to portray Phil Collins on the British TV show Performing As. The real left-handed drummer was awarded the first Las Vegas residency given to a tribute band. Rick was also hired to impersonate famous vocalists in the Monsters of Rock show on the Las Vegas strip. Now, with extremely talented musicians in their own right, he continues to perform in the “Number One” Genesis and Phil Collins band, In The Air Tonight.
