The Dot Explained!

Posted on December 20th, 2016 · American Music/Events/Other · 14 Comments »

* The Dot Explained!

If you’re “into” political correctness, you need not read further!

For centuries, Hindu women have worn a dot on their foreheads. Most of us have naively thought this was connected with tradition or religion, but the Indian embassy in Ottawa has recently revealed the true story.

When a Hindu woman gets married, she brings a dowry into the union. On her wedding night, the husband scratches off the dot to see whether he has won a convenience store, a gas station, a donut shop, a taxi cab, a yogurt store or a motel in the United States. If nothing is there, he must remain in India- call himself Andy and answer telephones providing us with Verizon technical support.

***** ROK:BRGR, 208 Southwest 2nd Street, Fort Lauderdale, Florida 33301, (954) 525-7656.

Let me start by saying, that I loved ROK:BRGR—an upscale hamburger joint, which opened about six weeks ago in Fort Lauderdale. I suspect, that Only- seriously committed vegetarians are gonna have a problem with this joint. Check www.rockbrgr.com for menu/prices/pictures.

Just so you know, BURGERS are the primary game at this cool looking- 1920’s brick pub decor/full bar joint. That said, ROK also has a “nice” handful of comfort items like mac ‘n cheese, chili, meatloaf, blts and a few salads, so no-one in your party is gonna be pissed off.

My 10 oz. bacon cheeseburger with hand cut french fries ($10) was absolutely off the chart. Same, for the mac ‘n cheese ($8)–sweet potato fries ($5)–onion rings ($6)–meatloaf ($14) that I “sampled.”

I am telling you, the food was delicious. ROK has a real cool look, reasonable prices and the service is as pleasant as can be.

To sum it up, WINNER!!!

ROK is open Sunday-Thursday 11:30 am-2am and Friday-Saturday 11:30am-4am.

***** The Burning Oak BBQ, 8006 West Mcnab Road, North Lauderdale, Florida 33068, (954) 933-1944.

Got a real good fast food order/pickup at the counter/drive-thru bbq joint for you guys- The Burning Oak BBQ in North Lauderdale.

Long story short, based on a recent Jeff Eats’ lunch with 4- buddies, the 6-month old Oakster appears to be cranking out some heavy duty- reasonably priced- delicious smoked bbq stuff!

Just so we are straight with each other, my buddy Ray picked-up the check…and Jeff Eats has always found without fail, that “free” restaurant food always seems to taste real-good! Putting the “free” aside, I gotta tell you that The Burning Oak BBQ’s- St. Louis Ribs, bbq chicken, pulled pork, mac and cheese, corn bread, French fries, baked beans, collard greens were all delicious!

Free food or no free food, Jeff Eats really enjoyed The Burning Oak BBQ- which is open Sunday-Thursday 11am-9pm, Friday-Saturday 11am-10pm.

Got a good bagel joint for you guys…Broadway Bagels in Plantation which has been around for something like 33 years.

Jeff Eats and a couple of buddies recently ate breakfast there- and I gotta tell you that Broadway Bagels’ deli omelette ($7.99-corned beef/pastrami/Swiss cheese), blueberry pancakes ($6.99) and corned beef hash ($7.99) were all-right on the money! Throw in REAL GOOD sesame, everything and onion bagels- and Jeff Eats would definitely do a second-visit! Just so we are straight with each other, Broadway Bagels isn’t curing cancer or nothing here- the food is good-with its bagels (made the right way- hand rolled/boiled/baked) being the real “keeper” of this tale!-so if you go, BAGELS!

A Recent Starbucks Conversation: Are You A Pilot? I Thought I Was…

* A Recent Starbucks Conversation: Are You A Pilot? I Thought I Was…

You think you have lived to be 80 plus and know who you are, then along comes someone and blows it all to hell!

An old Marine Pilot sat down at the Starbucks, still wearing his old USMC flight jacket and ordered a cup of coffee.

As he sat sipping his coffee, a young woman sat down next to him. She turned to the pilot and asked,
Are you a real pilot?

He replied, ‘Well, I’ve spent my whole life flying planes, first Stearmans, then the early Grummans… flew a Wildcat and Corsair in WWII, and later in the Korean conflict, Banshees and Cougars. I’ve taught more than 260 people to fly and given rides to hundreds, so I guess I am a pilot, and you, what are you?

She said, ‘I’m a lesbian. I spend my whole day thinking about naked women. As soon as I get up in the morning, I think about naked women. When I shower, I think about naked women. When I watch TV, I think about naked women. It seems everything makes me think of naked women.’

The two sat sipping in silence.

A little while later, a young man sat down on the other side of the old pilot and asked:
“Are you a real pilot?”

He replied, ‘I always thought I was, but I just found out I’m a lesbian.’

The New York Times compared Jake Ehrenreich to Billy Crystal and Bill Murray in its review of the actor-writer’s one-man musical comedy A Jew Grows in Brooklyn. Now, after its record-breaking run in the heart of Broadway and tours from L.A. to London, this uplifting biographical journey returns to the Coral Springs Center for the Arts. From growing up with parents who survived the Holocaust, to playing stickball in the streets of Brooklyn, to his show business career in the Catskills and on Broadway, to finding himself heartbroken at the bedsides of ailing family members, Ehrenreich chronicles his search for the American Dream with warmth, humor and optimism. Come find out why The New York Times called A Jew Grows in Brooklyn “dazzling.”

LOU VILLANO Performs The Hits Of Paul Anka Live Show

Lou Villano grew up in Brooklyn singing the songs of some of the most popular singers from the 50’s & 60’s – Paul Anka was one of his favorites. While Lou was arranging his shows he remembered how many of his audiences would comment that his resemblance and vocal styling is very similar to Paul Anka. They asked “Why don’t you do more songs by Paul Anka”? That’s when Lou acted upon their advice. Lou becomes Paul Anka performing his hits – Diana, Lonely Boy, The Longest Day, My Hometown, Puppy Love, Destiny and so much more. Within the show are songs Paul Anka wrote for singers like Buddy Holly, Frank Sinatra, Tom Jones plus hit songs from some of his fellow songwriters and friends Frankie Avalon & Bobby Rydell. Lou is receiving rave reviews and standing ovations from his audiences performing this show. It’s a show that you are going to remember as you walk out singing the songs that you loved so much by such a talented songwriter and singer.

“The Hits Of Paul Anka Live Show” is a MUST HAVE & SEE SHOW!

Jimmy The Greek Taverna (Boca Raton)
Posted on December 31st, 2010 · Boca Raton Mediterranean/Greek · [edit]

***** Jimmy The Greek Taverna, 8221 Glades Road, Boca Raton, Florida 33434, (561) 477-3272.

Very original name, don’t-cha think…Jimmy The Greek! That aside, this “mom & pop” Greek joint serves some really dynamte-reasonably priced stuff. You can check menu/prices at www.jimmythegreekrestaurant.com.

Over the past 3-weeks, I did 2- lunches and 1-dinner at Jimmy The Greek. Let’s just say, that the joint didn’t miss a beat–delicious gyros, pork souvlaki, char-broiled pork & lamb chops, Greek salad, moussaka, tilapia lemonato. Lots of food for the money…the most expensive “dinner” on the menu runs about 18 bucks.

If you like Greek stuff, I think that you will really enjoy Jimmy The Greek.

The joint is open 7 days a week 11am-9pm.
