“The Best Tribute of All Times!” – Rolling Stone Magazine

“They are Simply Perfect!” – Journal Do Brasil

“It’s a Kind of Magic!” – The Liverpool Echo

It’s a mythical Queen tribute show like you’ve never seen before! God Save The Queen recreates more than 20 of Queen’s greatest hits in one show! The band takes their name from the United Kingdom’s national anthem which was played on tape at the end of every Queen show while the band took their bows. For more than eighteen years God Save The Queen has been noted for their faithful imitation of Queen in fashion and sound. They perform using the precise set list, clothing, and stage antics that Queen was known for. Vocalist Pablo Padin re-enacts Freddy Mercury so realistically that along with Francisco Calgaro (guitar), Matias Albornoz (drums) and Ezequiel Tibaldo (bass).you almost feel like you are actually witnessing a legendary Queen show. This is a performance not to be missed!

***** Burger & Beer Joint, 14775 Lyons Road (Delray Marketplace), Delray Beach, Florida 33446, (561) 454-8002.

Got an absolutely terrific “burger” joint for you guys- Burger & Beer Joint in Delray Beach.

If you haven’t heard about this fast growing chain, do Jeff Eats a favor- and save me some time and check bnbjoint.com for menu/prices/locations/info. In a nutshell, off the chart delicious burgers, salads and other stuff, full liquor bar/tons of beers! For right now, in Florida- Burger & Beer Joint has 2 joints in Miami, 1 joint in Miami Beach, 1 joint in Pembroke Pines, 1 joint in Sarasota and 1 joint in Delray Beach.

This tale is about the Burger & Beer Joint which opened a couple of months ago in Delray Beach. For you Delray Beach historians, the Delray Beach joint is located inside of the Frank Theatres CineBowl & Grille complex at the Delray Marketplace…a few months ago, the Burger & Beer Joint “took over” the “restaurant” (located in the bowling alley/sports bar/game room section) which was sucking wind big-time!

Anyway,

The other night, Jeff Eats, Mrs. Jeff Eats and another couple ate dinner at the Burger & Beer Joint and its reasonably priced food and pleasant service absolutely killed!

As an added attraction, Burger & Beer Joint which is open…
Mon – Thurs: 11:30 AM – 11:00 PM
Fri: 11:30 AM – Midnight
Sat: 11:30 AM – 1:00 AM

***** Corner Bakery Cafe, 2240 Northwest 19th Street, Boca Raton, Florida 33431, (561) 417-6060.

Corner Bakery Cafe is a U.S. chain of self-serve cafes that specializes in breakfast stuff, breads, pastries, soups, sandwiches, salads. Last count-about 150 of these joints spread out–Arizona, California, Colorado, District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Kansas, Maryland, Mississippi, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Texas, Utah, Virginia. For our purposes, there are 4 Florida location-Boca Raton, Pembroke Pines and 2-Miami. You can check www.cornerbakery.com for locations/menu/prices/photos.

Simple concept-order/pickup at counter.

Can’t really believe it, but Jeff Eats has-never reviewed Panera Bread. For the purposes of this story, I’m gonna assume that you know what Panera Bread is all about. With that in mind, Corner Bakery Cafe looks/tastes/feels/quacks just like Panera Bread does–only difference, Panera Bread has more than 10-times the number of stores that Corner Bakery Cafe does. For those of you who don’t know about Panera Bread…check www.panerabread.com.

As Jeff Eats’ uncle (by marriage) Sam Ting would say…Corner Bakery Cafe and Panera Bread are the same-thing (took some doing to sneak this one in here)-jacks of all trades and masters of none.

Jeff Eats has eaten twice in Boca’s-Corner Bakery Cafe…chicken salad on rye, French toast/scrambled eggs, meatball panini, chicken noodle soup. Now, nothing terrible–but nothing that I would ever consider for a last meal at Attica. Look, I know-this is Corner Bakery Cafe’s story–but just insert Panera Bread where Corner Bakery Cafe is now and vice versa–and you basically got Jeff Eats’ take on Panera Bread…of course, I ate different stuff at Panera Bread’s CityPlace and Mission Bay joints-but like Corner Bakery Cafe’s food, I wasn’t a fan.

To be perfectly honest with you, for the life of me- Jeff Eats can’t figure out why Panera Bread and to a lesser extent Corner Bakery are seemingly so successful. No fooling, their food/service are mediocre at best…same mystery surrounds McDonald’s- but that’s a story for another day!

If you refuse to listen, Corner Bakery Cafe is open Monday-Sunday 7am-8pm.

For the interested, Rolling Stone Magazine ranks Appice #28-“!00 Greatest Drummers Of All Time”…

28. Carmine Appice
A valuable team player as well as a bruising power hitter with an instantly identifiable style, Carmine Appice literally wrote the book on rock drumming: His 1972 text The Realistic Rock Drum Method has been a staple since its release. Appice made his name in the late Sixties with eccentric psych outfit Vanilla Fudge – influencing a young John Bonham with his romping, aggressively funky grooves – before moving on to a heavier blues-rock style with Cactus and Beck, Bogert & Appice. He demonstrated his range in the late-Seventies Rod Stewart band, contributing sassy backbeats and key songwriting assistance on hits such as “Da Ya Think I’m Sexy.” (Stewart reportedly called Appice “The Dentist” for employing what he termed “too many fill-ins.”) More recently, he’s kept busy playing “Drum Wars” shows with younger brother and fellow elite hard-rock beatsmith Vinny (Dio, Black Sabbath). According to Appice, some of his key innovations came from the constraints of playing live rock music during his formative years: “All the stuff we all did – the stuff that I am [credited with] starting was just stuff that I did out of necessity,” Appice told Drum Magazine in 2011. “I pioneered the use of big drum sets and played with the butt end of the sticks early on. I did that because there were no P.A. systems.”

***** Orange Tree Breakfast & Lunch, 6400 North University Drive, Tamarac, Florida 33321, (954) 722-1144.

Got a real good mom & pop breakfast/lunch diner for you guys, Orange Tree Breakfast & Lunch in Tamarac.

Simple concept, counter/booth/table seating- open Monday-Saturday 6am-2:30pm, Sunday 7am-1pm.

Even the most casual Jeff Eats’ reader knows that I’m a sucker for “mom & pop” diners- absolutely love finding & eating in “these” joints…

Long story short, the other day Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats did breakfast at Orange Tree and I gotta tell you- delicious food, super pleasant service, reasonable “cash only” prices!

If you’re into the mom & pop diner concept- I’m thinking that you’re really gonna like Orange Tree Breakfast & Lunch!

* A Good Night’s Sleep.

I don’t know about you guys but every so often I don’t sleep so good!

Down below an article Jeff Eats recently caught on rebootwithjoe.com.

By: Claire Georgiou, Reboot Naturopath, B.HSc ND

The health benefits of a good night’s rest are endless. Sleep supports a healthy immune system, happy mood, trim waistline, a sharp brain, glowing skin, healthy hair, happy hormones and long-term it helps lower your risk of high blood pressure, heart disease and premature death.

Forty percent of Americans are said to be getting less than 7 hours of sleep on average a night, this is a frightening fact considering that studies show less than 7 hours per night increases the risk of premature death particularly for men and many other serious health conditions. 25% of Americans are using sleeping drugs (hypnotics) to help them get some shut eye.

It is also well known that sleep supports weight loss and a healthy waistline. People who are sleeping less than the recommended 7-9 hours per night will have hormone changes that are tied to an increased appetite, eating larger portions, increased cravings and pleasure signals for high-calorie foods, combined with a reduced ability to stop these impulses, a very dangerous combination for weight control.

In studies people who were sleep deprived (less than 7 hours) had increased levels of ghrelin (a hunger hormone) and reduced leptin levels (satiety hormone).

Sleep deprivation causes a list of overwhelming symptoms such as irritability, headaches, fatigue, increased appetite, depressed mood, slow thoughts, increased appetite and cravings, infections, poor decision making processes, depression, premature death, cancer, heart disease and diabetes.

Here is a list of foods that have shown to improve sleep:

1. Cherries:Particularly tart cherries. They contain melatonin which enhances sleep onset, depth and length of sleep.

2. Walnuts: Walnuts naturally contain the antioxidant hormone melatonin which supports sleep and they also contain the amino acid tryptophan which is a precursor for melatonin.

3. Dark Green Leafy Vegetables:Leafy greens such as kale, spinach, collards, arugula (rocket) and watercress contain excellent levels of calcium and magnesium, these minerals support relaxation of the nervous system and the muscles. Calcium also helps the brain use the amino acid tryptophan to manufacture the sleep-inducing substance melatonin.

4. Bananas: Bananas are an excellent source of magnesium, potassium and Vitamin B6, which are needed for relaxation and to make melatonin (a sleep-inducing hormone). My little 4 year old often asks for a small banana when she is having trouble sleeping, funny thing our instinct.

5. Herbal Teas:Teas such as chamomile, passionflower, skullcap. They contain sedative properties that enhance the sleep cycle.

6. Honey: This natural sweetener in your tea can give you a slight elevation of blood sugar that allows tryptophan to enter the brain effectively to enhance sleep.

7. Almonds: They contain vitamin B6, magnesium and protein which supports melatonin production and healthy blood glucose levels to promote sleep.

8. Oatmeal:Carbohydrate-rich foods have a sedative effect although you want something slow release as high GI foods may help you to sleep initially but they can create wakefulness later in the night due to dramatic sugar slumps after the initial spike.

9. Hummus: Chickpeas are a great source of tryptophan and B6. Vitamin B6 supports healthy sleep hormone cycles.

10. Pineapple: Pineapple was shown in research to enhance and raise serum levels of melatonin levels in males. Oranges also showed promise along with bananas of course.

Having a small snack an hour or 2 before bed can enhance sleep, while it is really important to remember not to eat heavy large meals or snacks before bed as this will have the opposite effect and will create a restless night.
