***** King Bao, 710 North Mills Avenue, Orlando, Florida 32803, (407) 237-0013.

Jeff Eats didn’t do too good at a recent King Bao lunch, that said- Mrs. Jeff Eats, Daughter Jeff Eats and Son Jeff Eats thought that the fast food- order/pickup at the counter- bao joint’s decor, vibe, service, prices and food were the absolute bomb!

Rather than Jeff Eats going into an- almost clever story about Happy Days’ Scott Baio, I’ll leave it at that- Mrs. Jeff Eats, Daughter Jeff Eats and Son Jeff Eats said to tell you guys that King Bao which is open Sunday noon-9:30pm, Monday-Thursday 11:30am-9:30pm, Friday-Saturday 11:30am-10:30pm is an absolute must try and that you should- and I quote “Pay absolutely -no attention whatsoever to “old” Jeff Eats who doesn’t know dick about bao.”

This article first appeared on 9/21/16. Jeff Eats just checked the box-office and there are a handful of really good tickets left for tommorow night’s show. So- if you wanna go and still don’t have tickets, time to make your move! For tickets: theamppompano.org also check goldstar.com for discount tickets.

More info www.theamppompano.org or CALL 954-519-5500 THIS IS THE ONLY # for The AMP, other numbers are incorrect.

The Pompano Beach Amp and AEG Live are proud to present the legendary Buddy Guy. The 80 year old singer/guitarist is a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee, a major influence on rock titans like Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, and Stevie Ray Vaughan, a pioneer of Chicago’s fabled West Side sound, and a living link to the city’s halcyon days of electric blues.

Adding to the excitement will be Guy’s very special guests Stephen Stills, Kenny Wayne Shepherd and Barry Goldberg as The Rides. Two bands, one stage, two full sets for one sizzling night!

Buddy Guy’s fans know his list of accolades could fill pages, but here are a few highlights: 7 GRAMMY Awards, a 2015 Lifetime Achievement GRAMMY Award, 34 Blues Music Awards (the most any artist has received), The Billboard Magazine Century Award for distinguished artistic achievement, a Kennedy Center Honor, and the Presidential National Medal of Arts. In addition, Rolling Stone Magazine ranked him #23 in its “100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time.”

Still influencing the musical landscape, Buddy Guy released his brand new studio album “Born To Play Guitar” on July 31, 2015 via Silvertone/RCA Records, which debuted at #1 on Billboard’s Top Blues Albums chart. This was a follow-up to his 2013 first-ever double disc release, “Rhythm & Blues,” which also debuted at #1 on Billboard’s Top Blues Albums chart.

Though Buddy Guy will forever be associated with Chicago, his story actually begins in Louisiana. One of five children, he was born in 1936 to a sharecropper’s family and raised on a plantation near the small town of Lettsworth, located some 140 miles northwest of New Orleans. Buddy was just seven years old when he fashioned his first makeshift “guitar”—a two-string contraption attached to a piece of wood and secured with his mother’s hairpins.

In 1957, he took his guitar to Chicago, where he would permanently alter the direction of the instrument, first on numerous sessions for Chess Records playing alongside Howlin’ Wolf, Muddy Waters, and the rest of the label’s legendary roster, and then on recordings of his own. His incendiary style left its mark on guitarists from Jimmy Page to John Mayer. “He was for me what Elvis was probably like for other people,” said Eric Clapton at Guy’s Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction in 2005. “My course was set, and he was my pilot.”

Seven years later, July 2012 proved to be one of Buddy Guy’s most remarkable years ever. He was awarded the 2012 Kennedy Center Honor for his lifetime contribution to American culture; earlier in the year, at a performance at the White House, he even persuaded President Obama to join him on a chorus of “Sweet Home Chicago.” Also in 2012, he published his long-awaited memoir, When I Left Home.

Guy’s very special guests will be blues super group The Rides, whose recent album charted # 1 on The Billboard Blues charts. The group consists of Stephen Stills (of Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young), multi-award winner Kenny Wayne Shepherd, who holds the record for the longest running album on the Billboard Blues chart and Barry Goldberg, who has played alongside everyone from Muddy Waters to Bob Dylan.

* Boogie Shoes.

These guys are an absolute killer 70’s disco tribute act!

Long story short, the band’s drummer- Lionel Harrison is an old family friend that we haven’t seen in a couple of years- so Jeff Eats, Mrs. Jeff Eats and a half-dozen or so of our friends are gonna do dinner on Sunday Night (4/9/17) at the Pavilion Grille in Boca Raton and watch Lionel and his buddies do their thing!

By the way, if the Pavilion Grille’s date doesn’t work for you, Boogie Shoes plays casinos, clubs, bars, festivals, events all over Florida- for schedule/videos/info boogieshoesdanceband.com.

***** Nabisco Wheat Thins Toasted Multigrain Chips.

The other day Jeff Eats came across these “crackers” at the Walmart Supercenter, 16205 South Military Trail, Delray Beach, Florida 33484 and I gotta tell you, these crackers ($2.94) are absolute dynamite and extremely addictive!

Now, I’m kinda thinking because they’re multigrain- they’re healthy or something😜- in any event, the next time you’re looking for a delicious cracker for your tuna salad (like Jeff Eats was) give Nabisco Wheat Thins Multigrain Chips a shot!

By the way in addition to Walmart, Publix, Target, Winn Dixie, Amazon and countless other food retailers carry Nabisco Wheat Thins Multigrain Chips!

“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!
