This article first appeared on 11/12/16. Jeff Eats just check the FAU- Carole & Barry Kaye Performing Arts Auditorium box-office and there is a small handful of tickets left for Ronnie Spector Sings the Fabulous Ronettes. There is no doubt whatsoever in my mind, that this show (Saturday, 3/11/17-8pm) is gonna be a SRO situation. Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats are going and- if you wanna join us- the smart move (if you haven’t already done so) would be to buy tickets “like” now! You can catch tickets at poprockdoowopp.com.

If you don’t yet have tickets…poprockdoowopp.com.

We just might have outdone
ourselves this time…
For the first time ever, we’ll welcome Ronnie Spector to the great stage at FAU in Boca Raton. And while she could fill an entire evening of music alone, just singing the hits she had with The Ronettes, we’ve got 3 legendary acts to accompany her. Those who snag tickets for this concert will be in for a once-in-a-lifetime concert with a big surprise in store. Tickets don’t go on sale to the public till Monday, but you can lock in great seats now…

***** Chowder Heads Restaurant, 2123 South US Highway 1, Jupiter, Florida 33477, (561) 203-2903.

Got a real good super casual seafood joint for you guys, Chowder Heads Restaurant in Jupiter.

Jeff Eats, Mrs. Jeff Eats and another couple recently did dinner- and I gotta tell you, other than being a bit on the pricey-side, not one person at our table, including Jeff Eats bitched about anything!

Chowder Heads bills itself as serving “Authentic New England Seafood”…If you can keep a secret, Jeff Eats’ knowledge as to what constitutes “Authentic New England Seafood” was “acquired and honed” by my having having spent 5 Summers 1957-1961 at Camp Annisquam (and as a result- having taken 5 tours of the Birds Eye Frozen Food Factory) in Gloucester, Massachusetts!

Trust Jeff Eats on this one, Chowder Heads Restaurant which is open Sunday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday 11:30am-9pm, closed on Monday- serves up real good stuff!

Aside from performing for presidents and queens, appearing on every major late-night show of the last 30 years (including Jimmy Fallon’s last June) and hosting a bunch of prestigious award shows, Elayne Boosler holds the distinction of being the first female stand-up ever to host her own cable comedy special, Showtime’s Party of One. Since that glass ceiling-shattering event, she’s covered all the show-biz bases, including providing color commentary for a variety of pro sports and political chat fests. Recently, she’s been a regular HuffPo contributor and is the active founder of the animal-rescue organization Tails of Joy. But instead of resting on her well-earned laurels, Boosler is back out on the road and coming to the Boca Black Box with a new batch of material, sharing her always witty and relatable take on life in the ’10s.

This article first appeared on 2/17/17. Jeff Eats just checked the Curtis Peterson Auditorium’s box-office and there are only a handful of tickets left for tonight’s (Sunday, 3/5/17-7pm) show. Trust Jeff Eats on this one, nobody does smooth “pop” better than The Duprees!

* Pop, Rock & Doo Wop Live! presents The Duprees.

If you look up the word “smooth” in Webster’s Dictionary, Jeff Eats will bet you a buck that you’ll find a picture of the legendary 50’s-60’s pop singing group The Duprees!

If you haven’t yet seen them, go see them! Nobody and I mean nobody does it better!

from poprockdoowopp.com

2012 marked the 50th anniversary of “You Belong to Me” becoming a national hit.
The legend and the legacy of the Duprees continue today…

The Duprees are known the world over for their romantic interpretations of the most beautiful love songs ever written. They have made a career out of giving new life to old hits. Starting out in the early sixties, in Jersey City, New Jersey, The Duprees were discovered by George Paxton of Coed Records and former big band leader. Impressed with their smooth vocal quality, he had them record Jo Stafford’s 1950’s ballad “You Belong To Me” with Big Band arrangements. It was an instant national hit and the group’s first Million Seller. The unmistakable sound was born and the hits kept coming:

1962 You Belong To Me · 1962 My Own True Love · 1963 Gone With The Wind · 1963 Take Me As I Am · 1963 Why Don’t You Believe Me · 1963 Have You Heard · 1963 Love Eyes · 1963 It’s No Sin · 1963 The Sand And The Sea · 1964 It Isn’t Fair · 1966 Let Them Talk · 1966 Exodus

Latest Review: 9/24/15

Hey! You New Yorkers out there- trust Jeff Eats on this one…Napoli’s slice is the real deal!
AND- the rest of joint’s stuff ain’t exactly chopped liver either!

This joint is a winner!

Posted on September 24th, 2015
***** Napoli’s Pizzeria & Grill.

For our purposes we- are gonna call Napoli’s Pizzeria & Grill an “out of sight, out of mind” mom & pop-red sauce- situation…

Real easy tale to tell…

Jeff Eats first told you guys about Napoli’s on September 29, 2010…hadn’t been back until- last Saturday Night (9/19/15) when Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats and another couple ate dinner there!

Long story short, big- big mistake forgetting about this joint! The eggplant parmigiana, veal marsala, penne alla vodka, meat lasagna, cheese pizza were all right on the money!

Like I said, 1.2 seconds ago, big-big mistake!

You live or work in Napoli’s neighborhood- try this one, you’ll like it!

Over Jeff Eats’ life span—I’ve eaten in something like-give or take- 230 South Florida Italian joints. For sure, some are better than others…that said, unless we are talking the high end of the Italian restaurant spectrum—most of the “mom & pop”- red sauce joints are basically all the same…some have better this and others have better that…but on the whole, most of them walk to the same beat…Decent Food. Decent Prices. As you guys know, when I do come across an exception to the rule, one way or the other—I try and give you the skinny.

Anyway…the other day I had dinner at Napoli’s…”tried” the pizza–veal parmigiana-chicken marsala-crabmeat alfredo-meat lasagna. Everything I had was A-OK. You can check menu/prices at www.napolisrestaurant.net.

For those of you who don’t just drop everything to check restaurant websites, Napoli’s menu has the full boat of appetizers, subs, calzones, pastas, pizzas, meat-seafood-chicken entrees…it also plays the requisite entree-pasta side-soup or salad-garlic knots game.

It’s really quite simple…if you are looking for a good- very reasonably priced-red sauce “outing”…Napoli’s is a good place to know about.

Now for the kicker to this story, Napoli’s makes an absolutely delicious NYC style pizza–Trust me here-I’ve eaten a ton of pizza down here in South Florida and Napoli’s slice was right up there with the best of breed.

Napoli’s is open Monday-Saturday 11:30am-10pm and Sunday 4pm-9pm

About The Event
The year was 1976. It was our country’s bicentennial and patriotism was at an all-time high. Gas was 59 cents a gallon and one of the greatest feel-good movies of all time, “Rocky”, was on the silver screen. The lush guitars and gorgeous harmonies of “Still the One”, “You are the Woman” and “I’d Really Love to See You Tonight” poured out of every radio in the country. Don’t miss this one-night-only reunion of the original artists who took those records, and dozens more, to the top of the charts. A “first” for The Peabody!
