***** All Star Pizza, 11280 Southwest 137th Avenue, Miami, Florida 33186, (305) 385-1400.

Real simple tale to tell you guys, yesterday afternoon Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats checked-out All Star Pizza in Kendall- stopping by the joint for a couple of slices and a calzone. Just so you know, All Star Pizza is basically a “takeout” situation, but it does have a small counter to eat-at- if that’s your game!

Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats really enjoyed the slices and calzone. The pizza -thin/crisp/sweet sauce and the calzone filled with ham/mozzarella/ricotta cheese (and you thought-that Jeff Eats was kosher!) were right on the money!

The unfortunate part of this tale- is that All Star Pizza is located way-far-away from Jeff Eats’ Boca Raton abode, so those slices/calzone aren’t exactly gonna be an everyday or even weekly affair! C’est la vie!

You can check menu/prices/info at allstarpizza.net.

All Star Pizza is open Sunday-Thursday 11am-10:45pm, Friday-Saturday 11:00am 11:45pm.

* 2017 Marketplace Music Fest- April & May.

White Elephant shopping center once again tries to draw “people” who’ll spend some cash…

Whoever is booking “these” bands, Jeff Eats will bet you S100 that you can’t find 20 people at any one of these “concerts” who can name 3-top forty songs that Eric Clapton charted with!

Just maybe, one of these days- the powers to be running the Delray Marketplace will figure out “who” they want to draw and how to get them there!

This article originally ran on 8/26/14. Just between you guys and Jeff Eats, before you buy tickets to concerts/shows/festivals/comedy clubs/food events-a wise move would be to check sites like goldstar.com, groupon.com, eventbrite.com and livingsocial.com…no bs-here, there are tons of discounts/deals out there- you just gotta be smart enough to go and get them!

Posted August 26, 2014
* Gold Star Events (goldstar.com).

I don’t know about you guys, but every day Jeff Eats gets bombarded with all kinds of “internet” discount-deals…restaurants, manicures, movie tickets, cosmetics, facials, hotels, foot massages, acne treatments, nose hair clippers, parachute jumping lessons, toenail fungus removal treatment…there is literally a “deal” for everything and anything out there in Internet Land. Now don’t get me wrong, Jeff Eats likes to save money- but I gotta tell you, most of the deals “presented” are of absolutely no interest to me whatsoever…

Anyway, to make a long story short…

About a month ago, Jeff Eats started getting emails from a company named Goldstar Events, Inc. (goldstar.com)–which features “deals” on Florida-EVENTS that I (and I emphasize the word I) would actually buy and use…concert tickets, show tickets, theater tickets, comedy club tickets, food event tickets, sporting event tickets, tours, expos…at 50% off face-value!…and every so often- “comp” tickets.

Just so you know, I “used” Goldstar and got exactly what was advertised.

Let me wrap this up for you,

If you want to save some bucks (and who doesn’t!-other than my good friend Nick who for some unknown reason-thinks he is above all this “bargain” stuff) you gotta checkout this goldstar.com site-which services major cities all over the United States.

Printed below is Goldstar’s “description” from its website.

One last piece of business. The nose hair clipper that I got through livingsocial.com was a pretty decent buy!
