* 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!

* 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.

***** Albie’s SUB FACTORY, 16775,North Miami Avenue, North Miami Beach, Florida 33169, (786) 520-3527.

Short and real sweet tale to tell you guys…

Yesterday Jeff Eats, Mrs. Jeff Eats and Daughter Jeff Eats ate lunch at Albie’s SUB FACTORY in North Miami Beach and I gotta tell you, this hole in the wall, obligatory “bombed out” strip center location, order/pickup at the counter counter sub joint is off the chart and- I do mean off the chart terrific! No ifs, ands or buts, definitely one of the best sub joints that Jeff Eats, Mrs. Jeff Eats and for that matter Daughter Jeff Eats have eaten in down here -in currently beyond belief freaking hot & humid South Florida!

Like I said 2 seconds ago “hole in the wall”- maybe 14 seats! So don’t plan on doing no-big bar mitzvah or confirmation parties there!

Let Jeff Eats wrap (pun intended) Albie’s SUB FACTORY up for you- you gotta try it!

Albie’s is open Monday-Friday 8am-8pm, Saturday 10am-5pm, closed Sunday.

Jeff Laub is a funny guy. Some people are tall. Some people are brilliant. Some people are beautiful. And some people are naturally funny. It’s what you are. It’s what you do. Lebron dunks, Martha cooks and Jeff Laub makes people laugh. He’s always been funny. He was funny in P.S. 99, Midwood High School and especially in Brooklyn College, where he once starred in Country Fair as a character based on his comedic idol, Don Rickles.
But funny isn’t always funny. After spending too much time cracking up his Pi Lam fraternity brothers, Jeff bombed on his calculus and chemistry finals, abruptly putting an end to his mother’s dream of her “tatala’s” future dental career. So Jeff switched his major to Television Production and there was no looking back. He earned a Masters degree in Speech & Theater and Television Production and landed the best job of his life, working as a Page on the Dick Cavett Show. Earning $1.70 an hour and pocketing an extra 30 cents a day that was supposed to go towards shirt dry cleaning, Jeff spent each day meeting and watching the greatest entertainers, in the world, including comedy legends such as Woody Allen, Mel Brooks, Bill Cosby and Robert Klein. But married life beckoned, and even Jeff Laub couldn’t live on $1.70 an hour forever, even in a $101 a month rent control apartment on Ocean Avenue.
So he landed a job in the game show business, utilizing his Masters Degree expertise by typing questions on blue index cards and fetching tea for Bill Cullen (Bill preferred Red Rose, by the way). Eventually, Jeff worked his way up to writer and Producer on such shows as “Three On a Match,” “Winning Streak,” “Shoot For the Stars” and the Emmy Award winning “10,000 Pyramid” starring Dick Clark. Things were looking up, so Jeff moved to Wantagh, Long Island with wife Ellyn and baby girl Heather.
He then created “The ShowBiz Quiz,” which resulted in a development deal with NBC. But Jay Leno said he wanted the time slot, so the show never got on the air.
Jeff soon branched out and pioneered the Instructional Video genre as writer and co-Executive Producer of “Watch Your Step” and the VIRA award winning “The Incredible Magic of Magic.” Unfortunately, it was 1979, and only six people in American owned VCRs, so the profits were slim to say the least. But he kept himself afloat by writing and starring in sketch comedy on “The Showtime Showcase,” hosted by Tom Kennedy. Son, Cory arrived and the Laub family unit was now complete.
Soon the Corporate world beckoned, and Jeff became the number one writer and outside creative consultant for Pepsi-Cola Company, writing and producing hundreds of speeches, roasts, song parodies and multi-media presentations for sales meetings and bottler conventions all over the U.S. for over 12 years. But he was tired. And New York was cold. Still funny, but cold and tired. So Jeff Laub sold the house on Long Island, packed up the wife and two kids and moved to south Florida.
He really had no choice, did he? Brooklyn…to Long Island…to Florida. That’s the Appalachian Trail for Jews and Italians.
Then, one day, Jeff discovers the open mic comedy show at Borders Bookstore and it hits him. “Finally…a job where I can always be funny and only have to work an hour a day.” The rest is history.
Jeff Laub performs year-round at comedy clubs, country clubs, hotels, casinos, synagogues, churches, corporate functions and on cruise ships all over the world.
He’s had the pleasure of opening for such stars as Oscar winner Joel Grey, Tony Orlando, Lou Rawls, Hal Linden, Lucy Arnaz and Sally Kellerman.
One of Jeff’s key strengths is his versatility and skill in adapting his style and material to any audience setting. With his razor sharp wit and ad-libbing ability, he’s received rave reviews whether he’s performing his “R” rated late night comedy club shows or headlining for 2000 senior citizens at an adult retirement community. Hopefully, you’ll have a chance to catch Jeff’s act soon. But don’t wait too long. He hasn’t totally given up on that dental career. Are you listening, Ma?

***** DISH OF THE WEEK (Sunday- 8/21/16).

One of Jeff Eats’ favorite menu items…

PAGODA PORK POTSTICKERS
$2.97 (10 pack)

pagodasnacks.com
Latest Review: None

Jeff Eats recently bought a package of (10)-frozen Pagoda Pork Potstickers at Walmart for $2.97, “cooked” up 5 of the potstickers in a microwave for 90 seconds and I gotta tell you, Pagoda’s Pork Potstickers were as good if not better than most of the Florida-Chinese restaurant pork potstickers that I’ve been telling you about for years! Trust Jeff Eats on this one, these suckers were absolutely delicious!

Just so you know, in Florida- Pagoda Pork Potstickers are only available at Walmart.

***** Daly’s Flame Broiled-Burger, 10754 70th Avenue, Seminole, Florida 33772, (727) 392-0200.

Real simple tale to tell you guys, fast food burger joint-order/pickup at counter-bunch of tables/hi-tops/booths-reasonable prices-off the shelf delicious food!

Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats did a recent “dinner”…and like I just said, off the shelf delicious food!

Just between you guys and Jeff Eats, if Daly’s was “even-close” to my Boca Raton home, I’d be a real and I do mean REAL steady customer-but trust me, Boca Raton to Seminole is unfortunately-quite the trip!

Anyway,

Daly’s Flame Broiled-Burgers is open Monday-Saturday 10:30am-9pm, closed Sunday!

* Donny & Marie- Inernet Pre-Sale.

The beautiful thing about this show, if you don’t like-it, Marie gives you a free 6-month Nutrisystem membership, and for those who really bitch to Ticketmaster (ticketmaster.com) a free year’s membership is in the cards for you!

* Pauly and The Goodfellas.

Jeff Eats just purchased 4- tickets!

Pauly and The Goodfellas- the legendary 50’s-80’s party/show band makes a rare public Florida appearance- Saturday Night (7pm), February 4, 2017 at Century Village at Deerfield Beach, 250 Century Boulevard, Deerfield Beach, Florida 33442, (954) 866-8910.

For you guys unfamiliar (or is it- not familiar?) with Pauly and The Goodfellas, the band based in Canada has been around for something like 35 years and if you “think” Sha Na Na, you’ll be in the right wheelhouse!

Jeff Eats has been a Pauly fan for years, but as I just mentioned, the band very rarely plays Florida not to mention South Florida (so I won’t)! Keep it between us, but I’m hearing that Pauly recently “acquired” a Margate home, so just maybe, we’ll be seeing Pauly and The Goodfellas down here in Florida more frequently, but that’s just a guess!

All I can tell you, if you’re into 1950’s-1980’s music, Pauly and The Goodfellas is an absolute must see!

If you still need some convincing as to how good and entertaining Pauly and The Goodfellas is, checkout the band’s website paulyandthegoodfellas.com is!

There is no doubt in Jeff Eats’ mind that Pauly is gonna sell-out Century Village at Deerfield Beach. If you live in the community, tickets are 13 bucks. If you are a non-resident, tickets are 18 bucks! Like Jeff Eats did, you can buy tickets online at centuryvillage.com. Just so you know, there are no “ticket service charges”- so 13 means 13 and 18 means 18!

One final note, Century Village at Boca Raton (3/7/17), Century Village at West Palm Beach (3/9/17) and Century Village at Pembroke Pines (3/11/17) have Pauly and The Goodfellas booked, but these venues (unlike the Century Village at Deerfield Beach) don’t allow non-residents to purchase tickets! By the way, if the Deerfield Beach date doesn’t work for you, Pauly has a 3/10/17 (7:30pm) public appearance show at the Maltz Jupiter Theatre, 1001 East Indiantown Road, Jupiter, Florida 33477, Box Office Phone: (561) 575-2223, jupitertheatre.org.
