Just curious.
Thanks,
Anthony Franza

Anthony Franza,
To answer your question,
No! Not that I recall.😜
Thanks for reading…
* Ronnie Spector.
For right now- just a rumor, but Jeff Woodward & Bernstein Eats is hearing that based on her recent European and New York SRO concerts, the kinda reclusive- Rock & Roll Hall Of Famer- Ronnie Spector is in negotiations for a very rare March, 2017 South Florida public appearance!
Like I just said, for right now-just a rumor- with no firm date or venue!
For you guys who don’t know who Ronnie Spector is, shame on you! For crying out loud, the lady ONLY sang lead on Be My Baby which just might be the greatest Rock n Roll girl group record of all time!
No ifs, ands or buts- “if” announced, South Florida- tickets to see the legendary and I do mean legendary Ronnie Spector will immediately sell-out!

Latest Review: 7/24/16
Jeff Eats recently “discovered” Garlic Ciabatta Bread in The Boys Farmers Market’s bakery department and I gotta tell you guys- this garlic-covered bread is off the chart delicious. Jeff Eats has had 4-of the breads (2 toasted, 2 room temperature) and like I just said, delicious!
If you’re into garlic bread, garlic knots, pizza- plan on giving this garlic cheese bread a shot!
* Julia Scotti.
Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats loved comedian Julia Scotti’s recent America’s Got Talent appearances!
So…
We just picked up 2- tickets for the national headling comedian’s The Comedy Zone’s 10/8/16 (9:45pm) show!
Although Scotti got knocked-off AGT (8/24/16)- the bet here is that comedy clubs all over Florida not to mention America, will soon be booking her like crazy! Just so you guys know, for right now, Scotti’s only scheduled Florida appearances are at The Comedy Zone, October 6th-9th, 2016!
Just in case Jeff Eats is ‘wrong” on that booking business (hey! I thought that the Edsel was gonna be a big seller)- Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats got this part of our respective bucket lists covered (trust me, I know, a bit over dramatic)!
Keep an eye-out for Scotti, she is something real special!

***** NIPS- Rich & Creamy Hard Candy..
Jeff Eats has been “sucking” NIPS for as long as I can remember!
For you guys or for that matter gals- who have never “sucked” NIPS, one of the most delicious sucking candies-going!
NIPS are sold in supermarkets, convenience stores, drugstores, candy stores, you name it stores, all over Florida! You can check NestleKitchens.com for info/retail locations.
A word to the wise, SUCK NOT CHEW, unless you’re into emergency dentist visits!
Jeff Eats has “sucked” all of the below listed NIPS’ flavors including Sugar Free NIPS and they were/are all terrific! Just between you guys and Jeff Eats, “coffee” is my favorite flavor, but like I just said, all of the flavors are terrific!
A 4oz box of NIPS runs around 99 cents!
Once again, suck not chew!
from NestleKitchens.com
For people who need a break from life’s little irritations, NIPS® is the rich and creamy hard candy that provides a soothing diversion. Each NIPS candy has its own distinct and truly satisfying flavor. This hard candy is known for its smooth, creamy texture and bite-size eat with an unmistakable hint or “nip” of flavor – hence the name “NIPS”.
NIPS were introduced more than 70 years ago and known as Pearson NIPS since the early 1920s. Nestlé purchased NIPS in 1989. The “Pearson” name was dropped in Fall 2000. NIPS are different from most other hard sugar candies because NIPS are a milk-based hard caramel. The dairy ingredients make NIPS’ texture exceptionally smooth and creamy.
NIPS candy comes in two forms; solid candies and soft centered candies known as parfaits.

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

More recently, Tony has been at the forefront of the entertainment industry in South Florida– bringing some of the top hit recording artists of the ’50 & ‘60’s to the area in major concert venues, including Bobby Rydell, The Drifters, The Platters, The Shirelles, The Flamingos, Jay and the Americans…and the list goes on. These icons, including legendary DJ/MC Cousin Brucie, created the soundtrack of his life, and now, to Tony, they are friends.

***** BACONATOR DOUBLE.
Simplest of tales to tell you guys…
About 45-minutes ago, Jeff Eats saw a Wendy’s tv commercial for a “thing” called a BACONATOR DOUBLE!
Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats just finished eating our BACONATOR DOUBLES and I gotta tell you, we really enjoyed them!
For you guys into facts and figures, Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats got our BACONATOR DOUBLES at the Wendy’s drive-thru-window located at 831 Northwest 51st Street, Boca Raton, Florida 33431, (561) 997-2008 paying $6.69 + tax per BACONATOR DOUBLE!
Finally, I’m kinda thinking that right about now some of you guys are saying to yourselves, “Hey, Jeff Eats, you must have lost your mind, you’re talking Wendy’s here and did you see the number of calories in those BACONATOR DOUBLES?” All I can tell you guys, the BACONATOR DOUBLES were real good and as many YELP “reviewers” write “We will definitely return for another visit.”

BACONATOR DOUBLE
This one goes out to all the discerning carnivores. Thick-cut Applewood Smoked Bacon, two 1/4 lb* patties and even more bacon for a grand total of six (6) fresh-cooked, never microwaved strips. Topped off with mayo, ketchup and cheese on a premium toasted bun to hold the meaty masterpiece together.

* Obama Care Figured Out For You!
The below-article first appeared on October 14, 2014- just a quick update. Now that Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats are both on Medicare- we thankfully have no “relationship” with Obama Care. To you guys that still-do all I can say is GOOD LUCK!
Posted October 14, 2014
* Obama Care Figured Out For You!
Today, Jeff Eats received a letter from Humana Health Insurance Company of Florida, Inc…
In a nutshell, the letter said that if I wanted to basically keep the same health care insurance coverage that I had in 2014- in 2015 the monthly premium rate would go from $626.69 to $1,460.06.
Since Jeff Eats is primarily a food-blog…this increase would be like- you eating in a restaurant on 12/13/14- getting a bill for $6.27 and on 1/1/15 eating the same thing in the same restaurant and getting a bill for $14.60…with the owner telling you, hey! you had to help pay the bill for these other customers so that’s why you have to pay more!
Do you know what absurd is! Well this is ABSURD!
This is an outrage and Chief Justice Roberts should be ashamed of himself.
