Just read “Gambler ‘hits’ bank”…

Don’t you guys think that this New York Post article needed one more paragraph?

Jeff Eats does…

* Peter, Paul and Mary Remembered.
This article first appeared on 12/23/16. Jeff Eats just picked-up 2 tickets on goldstar.com for tonight’s (Friday-1/27/17) show! If you go tonight and aren’t a disgruntled Jeff Eats’ reader or a pissed-off restaurant owner, please feel free to stop by and say hello!

* Peter, Paul and Mary Rembered.
If you squint your eyes, you’ll swear that Peter, Paul and Mary are on the stage…

The Skinny:
from goldstar.com
The music of folk group Peter, Paul and Mary was an indelible soundtrack to the changing times of the 1960s. Today, tribute group Peter, Paul and Mary Remembered transports audiences back to those times with their note-perfect performances of hits like “Blowin’ in the Wind,” “Puff the Magic Dragon” and “If I Had a Hammer.” Combining costumes, impeccable harmonies and the exact arrangements of the original songs, this performance at the Boca Black Box in Boca Raton is a folky flashback to days gone by.

This is an absolutely amazing show!

Don’t tell Mrs. Jeff Eats (she’ll faint), but with shows like this- I’m tempted to sell the old-Boca Raton homestead and move- to a two bedroom Daytona Beach rental apartment where I don’t-gotta worry about the gardener, the pool man, the a/c guy, the pest control guy, the roof guy, the gutter guy, the HOA yenta-squard, the pressure cleaning guy…

Trust Jeff Eats on this one, The Association fronted by original lead singer Jim Yester sounds exactly as it did in the 60’s when it recorded hits like- Windy, Cherish, Along Comes Mary, Never My Love- and Gary Lewis and Lou Christie still got the pipes- sounding absolutely amazing on songs like This Diamond Ring, The Gypsy Cried and Lightnin’ Strikes.

Like I said 3 seconds ago, great lineup!

Mann… Starring The Association (“Windy”, “Never My Love”, “Along Comes Mary”, “Cherish”, “Everything That Touches You”), Gary Lewis & The Playboys (“This Diamond Ring”, “Green Grass”, “Count Me In”, “Save Your Heart for Me”) and Lou Christie (“Lightning Strike”, “The Gypsy Cried”, “I’m Gonna Make You Mine”, “Two Faces Have I”).

* Lola & The Saints In Concert.

If you are into doo wop music…you don’t want to miss Lola & The Saints!

No bs-ing here, when it comes to covering 50’s-60’s acappella and doo wop hits, this group is off-the-chart-good! Trust Jeff Eats when I tell you, top-notch leads and harmonies!

Lola & The Saints based out of the-Tampa area- makes a very rare South Florida appearance at The Lexington Club in Delray Beach on Saturday, February 11, 2017 (8pm)! The show’s venue is a “residential community” clubhouse ballroom which seats approximately 300.

A drop of background on Lola & the Saints…Originally formed in the Throgs Neck section of the Bronx by Lola and Tom Foy, “The Saints” have enjoyed a long and magnificent career in show business. After having performed and recorded under many different guises, they have always managed to find their way back to their Doo-Wop roots as well as their original name “The Saints”. Each and every member of the four piece vocal group has, at one time been a part of some of the finest 50’s and 60’s Doo-Wop groups.

***** Elmo’s Rock Bar & Grill, 9770 South Military Trail, Boynton Beach, Florida 33436.

First things first, if you can’t handle- cigarette smoke, Elmo’s Rock Bar & Grill ain’t gonna work for you!

With the above warning out of the way, Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats recently discovered Elmo’s Rock Bar & Grill in Boynton Beach and I gotta tell you, the joint kills! Flat screen tvs galore, reasonably priced full liquor bar, off the hook delicious food, dynamite Rock ‘n Roll bands on Friday & Saturday nights, super pleasant service, events all week long and the joint is open 7 days a week from 11am-5am!

Trust Jeff Eats on this one, this Elmo’s joint is a winner! Other than for the “smoke” (which I and Mrs. Jeff Eats can handle, but definitely could do with-out) its got everything working in high gear…Amazing burgers, wings, Philly cheesesteaks, french fries…real strong lineup of local south Florida bands…loads of events during the week…well stocked/priced bar…real good service, make this joint a must try!

This contest started on 1/25/17. This contest has a winner.

* Win A $50 MAO Colombian Fast-Food Gift Card.

Jeff Eats got a $50 MAO Colombian Fast-Food Gift Card to give to one of you guys!

Just between you guys and Jeff Eats, what “these” guys do to hot dogs and hamburgers probably have Ray Kroc and Nathan Handwerker turning over in their respective graves! That said, something like 9 years ago, Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats “found” MAO Colombian Fast-Food and we’ve been fans of its hot dogs/burgers and TOPPINGS ever since- although deep down us-former New Yorkers know- that a hot dog is really only suppose to be dressed- with deli mustard and sauerkraut (and maybe-sweet green pickle relish or onion sauce) and a burger is only suppose to be topped- with American cheese, grilled/or raw onions and ketchup!

Anyway…

The game- the first 20 “reader-comments” received – will be entered in a “blind hat pick”! You can submit as many comments as you’d like but- Please, only 1- reader comment – per day…play fair!

The $50 Gift Card is good at MAO Colombian Fast-Food, 8438 Southwest 40th Street Miami, Florida 33231, (305) 551-0506.

MAO Colombian Fast-Food (Miami)

***** MAO Columbian Fast-Food, 8438 SW 40th Street, Miami, Florida 33231, (305) 551-0506.

I am not sure if I should even tell you guys about this one…Mao Columbian Fast-Food.

MAO is a “hole in the wall” Columbian fast-food/take-out joint…order from the counter…six stools to sit on. Basically there are 3 things to order…hamburgers, hot-dogs, arepas.

I only tried the hamburger…the beef patty in a bun (unless you stop the counter-guy) is topped with ham, french fries, mayo, fried egg, lettuce, some “unknown sauces” and a pineapple sauce. I know it sounds real scary…but once I bit into the thing, it was pretty-good…Now don’t get me wrong, I’m still…a burger-grilled onions-ketchup guy…but I had to try it.

Like I said before, I only tried the burger…but I did see two guys eating hot-dogs that were covered with “God only knows what.”

MAO is not for everyone. By the way, when you eat one of these burgers you should consider wearing a bib…messy, messy, messy.

MAO is open Monday-Thursday noon-1am, Friday-Saturday noon-5am and Sunday 7pm-1am. It is absolutley amazing what lengths I will go through to find joints for you guys.
