* Turnstiles- The Ultimate Tribute To The Music Of Billy Joel.

If you guys can keep a little secret, Jeff Eats remembers Turnstiles beginnings…back then, just a few short years ago, when Tony the band’s “Billy” (who at the time was the keyboard player of the Shakedown Band) mentioned to me-his plans for a South Florida based Billy Joel tribute band!

Long story short, today- Turnstiles is one of America’s best Billy Joel tribute bands! The band plays all over the United States, usually to Standing Room Only crowds!

Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats have seen Turnstiles something like 5 times and all I can tell you is…

If you’re a Billy Joel fan, you gotta go see Turnstiles!

Turnstiles- The Ultimate Tribute To The Music Of Billy Joel

After years of performing with various original projects and cover bands, Tony decided to form “Stormfront”, his first Billy Joel tribute back in 1993. While Stormfront played to critical aclaim in the New York Area, their career was cut short when Tony decided to relocate to South Florida. Now, some 15 years later, Tony decided to enlist some of the finest musicians in South Florida to join with him to once again pay tribute to the man he has so much respect and admiration for, Billy Joel. Never intending to be an impersonator, his focus instead is simply on the music and delivering a faithful and completely live Billy Joel experience to share with others. Turnstiles’ renditions of Billy’s classic songs are certain to move the casual listener as well as the hard core “Joel fan” to their feet and have them singing along with all the classics!

***** Winn Dixie Wing Bar.

Last night while shopping in Winn Dixie, 7024 Beracasa Way, Boca Rston, Florida 33433, (561) 368-5442 Jeff Eats “discovered” Winn Dixie’s Wing Bar and I gotta tell you- that you guys definitely got to give this $6 per lb, self-serve (8 flavors) chicken wing “bar” a shot!

Just between us, Jeff Eats must be slipping as I don’t recall all of the “offered” flavors- but when I got home my 2 lb bucket had a load of teriyaki, barbecue, buffalo, fried and roasted wings!

Like I said, 6 bucks a lb- trust me on this one, for $12- Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats had plenty to eat- with the “suckers” pictured below being left over for Jeff Eats’ breakfast this morning- straight out of the refrigerator!

For you guys who maybe wondering, Mrs. Jeff Eats also boiled-up 4 ears of corn ($3.99- Walmart) to complete the wing “dinner”- with both the wings and corn being washed down with Crush Orange Soda ($1- 2 liter/Walmart).

No bs-here, the wings were absolutely delicious and definitely could successfully compete with most of the wings served-up by the sports bars Jeff Eats has patronized down here in sunny Florida!

Wing fans, the Winn Dixie at 7024 Beracasa Way in Boca Raton is open 7-days a week 7am-11pm.

***** DISH OF THE WEEK (Sunday- 9/6/15).

One (actually I should say two) of Jeff Eats’ favorite menu items…

SIGNATURE 8 CORNER PIZZA
$12.99
&
JET’S BOAT
$8.99

Jet’s Pizza
8903 Glades Road
Boca Raton

Latest Review: 9/6/15

Jet’s Pizza is a national “takeout” pizza chain. I’m thinking that it currently has something like 350 stores in 17 maybe 18 states.

Last week, Jeff Eats “tried for the first time and took-out twice” from the Jet’s Pizza which opened in Boca Raton-3/15. Night #1 it was the Signature 8 Corner Pizza, Night #2 it was the Signature 8 Corner Pizza with pepperoni and a Jet’s Boat (think calzone and you’ll be thinking right- stuffed with mozzarella cheese, pizza sauce, sausage, pepperoni and topped with butter/Romano cheese- $8.99) and I gotta tell you, the pizza and boat blew me away. No ifs, ands, or buts-one of the best “calzones” that I’ve ever had- as for the pizza, think Sicilian/deep dish and it was absolute dynamite. Just between you guys and Jeff Eats, if Mrs. Jeff Eats let me-do this joint twice in one week, the food had to have killed! Trust me, the lady…before I get in trouble here, let’s just leave it- that the food killed!

Like I said, Jet’s is a national takeout pizza chain. Some stores have seating, the one in Boca Raton -no seating. By the way, there are a ton of Jet’s Pizza joints in Florida- you can check jetspizza.com for locations/menu/info. Just between you guys and Jeff Eats- this Jet’s Pizza is one-hot franchise with a huge number of stores currently In development!

Let me wrap this up for you, that Signature 8 Corner Pizza and Jet’s Boat were terrific. Jet’s also has other types of pizzas, salads, wings, subs- so there is plenty of stuff to choose from.

Look!

Jeff Eats knows his crowd- and right about now, some of you guys must be saying…Hey Jeff, you-losing your freaking mind or what? This Jet’s is a takeout chain and these kind of joints make cheap garbage-so you been smoking or something?

Putting the “smoking” aside for the moment,

Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats LOVED the pizza and the boat…

I’m telling you guys, give this chain a shot!

from Wikipedia.org
Veterans Day is an official United States public holiday, observed annually on November 11, that honors military veterans; that is, persons who served in the United States Armed Forces. It coincides with other holidays, including Armistice Day and Remembrance Day, celebrated in other countries that mark the anniversary of the end of World War I; major hostilities of World War I were formally ended at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918, when the Armistice with Germany went into effect. The United States previously observed Armistice Day. The U.S. holiday was renamed Veterans Day in 1954.

Veterans Day is not to be confused with Memorial Day; Veterans Day celebrates the service of all U.S. military veterans, while Memorial Day honors those who died while in military service.[1]

Pita Nosh has been around for something like 15-years. No ifs ands or buts, it makes absolutely delicious knishes. Just so you know, I singled out its potato knish- just to get the conversation going. Trust Jeff Eats when I tell you, everything this joint makes- is real good

* Krystal- Veterans Day 11/11/2016.

Jeff Eats just got the below e-mail (Veterans Day promotion)- from the pr-folks for national fast food hamburger chain- The Krystal Company’s Florida locations!

From what I understand, this Sausage Biscuit “thing” fetches around- $1.99! Now, Jeff Eats knows a Sausage Biscuit isn’t exactly “The Medal Of Honor” but still a nice “thought”…

If this promotion works for you (past & present United States military personnel)- great… and thanks for your service!

***** Krystal, 901 West Sunrise Boulevard, Fort Lauderdale, Florida 33311, (954) 524-9994.

Let me make this write-up short and sweet.

There are no White Castles in South Florida. Krystal is as close to being a White Castle as you will find in South Florida. Krystal is a “national” fast-food hamburger chain which has been around since 1932. White Castle has paper-thin- square shaped-burgers called ” SLYDERS” and Krystal has paper-thin- square shaped burgers called “KRYSTALS.” I like “slyders” better than “krystals”…but it’s a close call. Sort of like Coke and Pepsi.

Like I said before, there is one Krystal joint in South Florida– Fort Lauderdale…there is a whole bunch of them in Orlando. Check Krystal’s website www.krystal.com for menu/locations. The joint in Fort Lauderdale is open 7 days a week from 7am-midnight.

If you don’t know what a White Castle is…GOOGLE.

BurgerFi (Lauderdale by the Sea)
Posted on April 6th, 2011 · American Fast Food Lauderdale-by-the-Sea · [edit]

***** BurgerFi, 4343 North Ocean Drive, Lauderdale by the Sea 33308, (954) 489-0110.

Walked into this free-standing “fast food” burger joint last Saturday night—and immediately new that I was going to love it. The easiest way to describe BurgerFi–Shake Shack (see 8/1/10 review) meets Five Guys Famous Burgers (see 11/2/06 review) with indoor and outdoor “picnic table seating.”

Let me make this real simple…one of the best fast-food cheeseburgers and hand cut fries that I’ve had in a very long time.

At this stage of the proceedings, check www.burgerfi.com for menu/prices/photos.

I am telling you, if burgers and fries are your game, you are absolutely gonna love this joint.

As a 1949 “baby” I think I know a thing or two about the fast-food-burger industry. Trust me on this, old Jeff Eats has eaten his fair share of burgers and fries.

I think I know exactly what BurgerFi is “trying” to do here…The joint’s decor looks like a roadside fast-food burger joint circa 1950’s/1960’s with some-modern touches…throw in “gourmet” burgers and “upscale” fries-other stuff…and BurgerFi’s got all of the bases covered. It’s cooler looking than Five Guys but cheaper than the “upscale” full service-burger restaurants that are currently America’s latest craze.

Check Burgerfi’s site, there are a handful of pictures which will give you some idea as to what I am yapping about here.

Like I said before, if you like burgers, fries, hot dogs, custard…you’ll love this joint.

BurgerFi is open 7 days a week 11am-1am.
