* Andrea Bocelli.

Jeff Eats just got this PRESALE e-mail!

If it works for you, great!

One quick observation- in his day, Jeff Eats has seen his fair share of SERVICE ANIMALS…I seriously doubt that Trigger, Silver or even for that matter Mr. Ed were this good- just thinking, just maybe Andrea uses tracks, like I just said, just thinking!

* Ghaleb.

At first glance, I thought it was President Obama sitting behind Ghaleb’s left shoulder!

Long story short, this guy Ghaleb puts on a fabulous show- and the Pavilion Grille is the perfect venue to watch him work his amazing musical talents!

For you guys who don’t “know” Ghaleb, check him out at ghaleb.net.

You can catch tickets/reservations/more info at paviliongrille.com or at (561) 912-0000.

Trust Jeff Eats on this one, Ghaleb is a real showman, the Pavilion Grille is a gorgeous looking restaurant/bar/catering facility located in the atrium of an office building on Yamato Road in Boca Raton. Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats have attended a number of “events” there and the joint’s American Style menu definitely got the job done. This is going to be a real nice evening!

***** Kossar’s Bagels & Bialys, 3679 Grand Street, New York, New York 10002, (212) 473-4810.

Long story short for you guys…

A couple of weeks ago Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats were in Manhattan and stopped by the legendary Kossar’s Bagels & Bialys- and picked-up 2-dozen bialys “to go”! By the way- who first labeled the joint “legendary” I don’t know! What I do know-is that Kossar’s Bagels & Bialys has been around for something like 80 years and bakes some of the most delicious bialys, bagels, babka and other stuff that Jeff Eats has ever eaten!

When Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats got home to Boca Raton we “froze” the bialys- during the past 2-weeks one at a time, wrapped a bialy in a wet paper towel, microwaved it for 60 seconds, then toasted it for 90 seconds, then topped the bialy with a very light coat of Philadelphia Whipped Cream Cheese- BEYOND DELICIOUS!

The suggestion here, checkout Kossar’s.com- Kossar’s has an online store!

Trust Jeff Eats on this baby, if you like bialys- then you will love Kossar’s bialys!

* Tony B’s Ristorante & Supper Club, 7351 State Road 7, Parkland, Florida 33073, (954) 906-5411.

Jeff Eats just heard that two of my favorite South Florida doo wop/oldies “groups” namely- Spanky & Dino and Joey and the Paradons are scheduled in the very near future to play Tony B’s Ristorante & Supper Club which opened 10 days ago in Parkland.

Keep a secret? Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats are gonna check-out the joint on either September 22th or October 15th- to be followed by a Jeff Eats’ “story” -about Tony B’s food- service- menu- decor- so on and so forth. We don’t want the joint’s staff to know we are there, accordingly- Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats will be wearing Groucho Marx glasses to prevent our being recognized!

Just between you guys and Jeff Eats, Jeff Eats “hears” a ton of stuff every day…and, I’m hearing a ton of talk about Tony B’s Ristorante & Supper Club which plans to open mid-September, 2016 in Parkland…The chatter is-that the upscale Tony B’s is gonna be an off-the-chart terrific Italian restaurant featuring amazing entertainment! Now you guys and Jeff Eats both know that talk-is-cheap, so we’ll just have to wait and see if owner Tony Brocco – who by the way is one of America’s most successful 50’s-60’s music concert promoters, has assembled a line-up of top shelf chefs, managers and wait-staff to warrant the current favorable buzz!!

Let’s keep a close eye on this Tony B’s situation- tonybsristorante.com.

***** Zinger’s Delicatessen, 7132 Beracasa Way, Boca Raton, Florida 33433, (561) 826-7323.

For you guys who maybe wondering as to where Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats will be “eating” our Rosh Hashanah Dinner on Sunday, October 2, 2016- well wonder no more…our Boca Raton home!

To be perfectly honest with you guys, it was a toss-up between catering in/or eating at Zinger’s Delicatessen-in any event, Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats “will be” footing the entire bill for us plus 9! As you can see from the order below, there’ll be plenty of food- which doesn’t include all the other stuff that Mrs. Jeff Eats ordered from The Boys Farmers Market in Delray Beach and the Publix by our house in Boca Raton. One thing for sure, home or out, there’ll be plenty of drama ’round the old dining room table!

Just so you guys know, Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats- rate Zinger’s Delicatessen (zingersdeli.com) as one of the best New York Kosher Style Delis in Florida and would match its food up against the stuff served by the best joints in the 5 boroughs- any day of the week!

By the way, if Zinger’s doesn’t work for you, Jeff Eats got a load of “stories’ about other top-notch New York Kosher/Kosher Style Delis and Bagel joints all of which- will definitely get the job done for you!

A Happy New Year to All, and to all a good night!- sorry, wrong holiday!

MEAL DEAL-2 HOT DOGS/FRENCH FRIES/DRINK
$6.99

Hazel’s Hot Dog

Saint Augustine
(904) 824-8414
Latest Review: 9/18/16

Jeff Eats recently- “tried” Hazel’s Hot Dogs- and I gotta tell you…

***** Hazel’s Hot Dogs, 2400 North Ponce De Loren Boulevard, Saint Augustine, Florida 3222084, (904) 824-8414.

Fans, and who isn’t- of deep fried hot dogs and hand cut fresh French fries- ordered/served from a walk-up window roadside hot dog stand- will absolutely love Hazel’s Hot Dogs in Saint Augustine! No indoor seating, 2 picnic benches outside!

A recent family excursion to Saint Augustine- had Jeff Eats, Mrs. Jeff Eats, Son Jeff Eats and Daughter Jeff Eats discovering- and absolutely loving Hazel’s Hot Dogs which is open 7 days a week 10:30am-6:30pm.

Like Jeff Eats said 4 seconds ago, Jeff Eats, Mrs. Jeff Eats, Son Jeff Eats and Daughter Jeff Eats all loved Hazel’s Hot Dogs- while managing to get through our Saint Augustine “Griswold” road trip-with a minimal (something like 54 minutes) amount of drama!

* The Wise Guy Kitchen featuring Vincent Fiore.

Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats just picked up 2- tickets for this one!

Very funny “interactive” comedy show- saw it in Clearwater in 2013 and I’m thinking you guys will really get a kick out of it!

KITCHEN

Patrons of our Musical Comedy “The Wiseguy Kitchen Live Show” will follow the shenanigans behind the scenes and in front of the camera as the former mob boss, turned reality star Big Vinny, aka The Wiseguy Chef and his crew, try to go legit. During the performance of live cooking show, The Wiseguy Chef tries to teach his patrons how to prepare delicious Italian American cuisine with the help of Vinny’s beautiful assistant Nina Baccala. much to the Chagrin of Maria the only book smart girl in the group.

While Vinny’s intentions are genuine, he’s brought along his former sidekicks Uncle Carmine and Louie The Loan Shark who he’s employed to help run the cooking show and frankly, they aren’t as committed as Vinny when it comes to going straight. While Vinny tries to teach his patrons how to cook, the crew are stirring up plenty of trouble on their own, you will soon get the idea once you are seated in the audience !

With so much excitement, there are plenty of opportunities for the audience to play a part in the show. There’s music, comedy, singing and a chance to sample the freshly cooked food of chef Vinny! Never before has a show such as ours been produced with a live cooking demonstration during a theatrical performance..

***** Tai Pei Pork Potstickers.

Last night Jeff Eats purchased a package of Tai Pei Pork Potstickers at the Walmart located at 16205 South Military Trail, Delray Beach, Florida 33484, (561) 495-8127.

Real simple tale to tell you guys, the package contained 42 frozen pork potstickers and cost $8.98. Using a microwave oven, it took 6 minutes to cook up a 5 piece serving. Trust Jeff Eats, the Tai Pei Pork Potstickers were as good if not better than most of the pork potstickers served up by the Chinese joints down here in Florida. You guys can do the math, $8.98 for 42 is something like $.213 per potsticker. Based on the manufacturer’s website taipeifood.com, Tai Pei Pork Potstickers are only available at Walmart (walmart.com).

Call me a wild and crazy guy, but Jeff Eats treats stuff-like these frozen pork potstickers as tv snack food. Rather than eating potato chips, popcorn, pretzels. chocolate/black/red Twizzlers while watching my 55″ Samsung tv (bought at Costco)- I’m into delicacies like frozen- potstickers, egg rolls, White Castle cheeseburgers, mac & cheese, chicken and turkey pot pies!

If you wanna live the high-life like Jeff Eats does…

* Jaded & Basilico’s Original Hand-Tossed Pizza.

If Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats didn’t already have other plans- tomorrow night, we’d grab a couple of slices at Basilico’s and then catch Jaded at the Wellington Amphitheatre! Don’t say Jeff Eats never gave you a plan!

Posted on June 16th, 2015
* Jaded.
Let me ask you something…What are the odds that you’ll see- Aerosmith in concert sometime within the next 210 days?

With the above in mind, Jeff Eats recently caught South Florida based Aerosmith tribute band- Jaded in action- and I gotta tell you, these guys are real good!

If you are a Steven Tyler fan, Aerosmith fan…you’ll enjoy Jaded’s show.

The band has some “free” concerts in the works…

***** Basilico’s Original Hand-Tossed Pizza, 9140 Forest Hill Boulevard, Wellington, Florida 33411, (561) 333-4949.

Last night, Jeff Eats took-out from red sauce Italian joint… Basilico’s Original Hand-Tossed Pizza in Wellington. and I gotta tell you, this restaurant makes some really delicious stuff.

Real simple concept, order at the counter/takeout…or the food is delivered to something like 6 inside booths/handful of outside tables. By the way, the restaurant is located in a very quaint cool looking “New England” style strip-center…which also has a Chinese joint, a Dunkin’ Donuts, an ice cream store, a custom cake- making store, a liquor store–you won’t think- you’re in Florida! Real interesting, in addition to ice cream and yogurt-the ice cream store sells fresh orange juice quarts/gallons-candy by the pound, and has a whole area for fresh flowers…the Chinese joint which is basically a takeout has 4 large 6- seat booths-for those who want to eat-in. Like I said 1 second ago, the strip center has a real different feel to it!

Anyway…

Jeff Eats “got to” Basilico’s around 6:30pm last night and there was something like 8 guys behind the counter making pizzas etc. and 2 young ladies at the register. In the 25 minutes or so that I waited for my order, every booth inside was taken and I watched numerous pickups and phone orders being taken…I didn’t notice anyone eating outside.

Basilico’s menu is loaded with appetizers, salads, pizzas, pastas, strombolis, calzones, hot/cold subs, entrees. You can check its menu/prices at basilicospizza.com.

Ordered items included large 16″ pizza ($9.99), Chicken parmesan sub ($7.99), sausage & peppers stromboli ($6.79), eggplant parmesan entrée (pasta side/garlic breadsticks- $10.59) and like I said 3 seconds ago, the stuff was really delicious.

Look!

Jeff Eats has been to his fair share of red sauce Italian joints down here in south Florida and- this Basilico’s joint is a huge winner. The food was really-solid, the prices CHEAP (I believe I’m suppose to say inexpensive or very reasonable)-trust me, Basilico’s gives you a ton of food for cheap-money-and the food isn’t crap quality!

Let me wrap this up for you, if Basilico’s was by my house (which unfortunately it isn’t) Jeff Eats would definitely be a very steady customer.

Basilico’s Original Hand-Tossed Pizza is open 7 days a week.
