* Father’s Day 2016 & DISH OF THE WEEK.

Just in case you guys are wondering where Son Jeff Eats and Daughter Jeff Eats are taking Jeff Eats for Father’s Day…

For the record, Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats love Bobby Rubino’s…so let’s kill two birds with one stone, Father’s Day Story & Dish Of The Week Story (Dinner For Two $25)!

Happy Father’s Day!

Posted on May 28th, 2013 · American BBQ Deals Pompano Beach
***** Bobby Rubino’s, 2501 North Federal Highway, Pompano Beach, Florida 33064, (954) 781-7550.

Haven’t really got the time or inclination to tell you Bobby Rubino’s story…suffice it to say, Bobby Rubino use to work for Tony Roma’s which was a South Florida bbq ribs/chicken chain, then Bobby Rubino in 1978 opened his own bbq ribs/chicken joint naming it Bobby Rubino’s—over the years Bobby and Tony were huge competitors each with loads of South Florida locations…not sure on Tony Roma’s dimished numbers—but today, there is only one Bobby Rubino’s location left and it’s-in Pompano Beach, Florida.

Now…

For whatever it’s worth, for something like 30 years—old Jeff Eats has been a huge Bobby Rubino’s fan…delicious sweet sauced ribs/chicken, french fries, onion rings, corn—never empty soda glasses.

Real simple…loads of food at really reasonable prices. If your looking for upscale-gourmet-fancy schmancy this joint ain’t for you. Just so we are straight, the last outpost is kinda on the dated 1970’s looking side–so like Jeff Eats said 2 seconds ago, fancy schmancy is a definite no-no here.

Anyway…

If Bobby Rubino’s sounds like something that might interest you, do yourself a GIGANTIC FAVOR and go to its website www.bobbyrubinos.com—you’ll find menu/prices, you’ll also find a bunch of coupons that will allow you to literally eat like a pig for virtually nothing.

In all fairness to you guys, Jeff Eats in recent years had lost “contact” with Bobby Rubino’s—and it was Rubino’s recent advertisement/coupons in the Sun Sentinel that reunited “us.”

To wrap this one up…my favorite coupon:

DINNER FOR 2 -$20 plus 1 beverage purchase.
Includes:
1 appetizer–onion loaf
2 entrees–full rack babyback ribs or rib/chicken combo
2 sides
1 dessert

Bobby Rubino’s is open 7 days a week for lunch and dinner.

* Back In The Dayz-Legends Of Rock & Roll.

If you want to see one of America’s premier 50s-60s-70s Rock & Roll cover bands in action- then plan on seeing The Shindigs’- Back In the Dayz- Legends Of Rock & Roll show at the Boca Black Box, 8221 Glades Road, Boca Raton, Florida 33434, Box Office: (561) 483-9036, Tickets: bocablackbox.com, goldstar.com (discount tickets).

Jeff Eats has been following The Shindigs for years and I am telling you they are crazy good!

Here’s what Jeff Eats wrote about The Shindigs way-back on December 1, 2008…

***** The Shindigs *****

This past Friday Night (November 28, 2008) I attended a private party at the Woodfield Country Club in Boca Raton. The evening’s entertainment featured a 4-piece South Florida based 1950’s-60’s-70’s tribute band…The Shindigs.

I have to tell you, that The Shindigs had a crowd of 250 up and dancing all night. The band did absolutely amazing covers of the hits of such groups/acts as (now get ready for this partial list in no particular order)…The Beatles, The Dave Clark Five, The Zombies, The Monkees, The Grass Roots, The Bee Gees, K.C & The Sunshine Band, The Commodores, The Rascals, Bachman-Turner Overdrive, The Byrds, The Temptations, Barry White, Chubby Checker, James Brown, Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons, Dion & The Belmonts, Roy Orbison, The Beach Boys, Chicago, Gerry & The Pacemakers and Bill Haley & His Comets.

Take a look at The Shindigs’ website www.theshindigs.us. If you check the members’ bios…you will find that these guys aren’t “kids” playing rock’n’ roll, but rather… are seasoned-professional musicians with extensive music industry backgrounds. If you check “Events” you will find that in the upcoming months, The Shindigs have South Florida “free” gigs scheduled at such venues as the Hollywood Band Stand (12/3/08) and the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino (12/26/08)…

I am telling you, that if you like great classic rock ‘n roll/disco music from the 50’s-60’s-70’s, you will absolutely love The Shindigs. By the way, The Shindigs also perform a Beatles’ tribute show–costumes and all…under the name The Beatles Remembered. If you check You Tube, you will find a number of videos starring The Beatles Remembered and the performances are amazingly accurate…

The Shindigs are a band/act that you should make it your business to see. By the way, unlike many bands…The Shindigs’ music is 100% live, no tracks or tapes are used to enhance the band’s performance.

* Eats ‘N Beats.

Just in case you were wondering where Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats will be “dining”- this coming Saturday Night!

Bring a blanket or lounge chair and you’ll be good to go!

Not sure on the food-truck lineup…what I do know is – that Samantha Russell is an absolutely kick-ass country singer and Orange Sunshine is an off the chart good 50s-60s-70s band!

Here’s hoping for good weather…

* Cornflake Fried Chicken.

Let’s play interactive- reader!

Your thoughts on who makes delicious Cornflake Fried Chicken-down here in Sunny South Florida!

***** Sande’s Restaurant, 1717 North Federal Highway, Delray Beach 333483, (561) 272-9104.

Not exactly sure as to how long Sande’s- a “mom & pop” cash only- counter/table/booth seating diner has been around- all I can tell you- is that Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats have been eating there for something like 17 years.

Simple tale to tell you guys, Sande’s is open 365 days a year 6am-2:45pm and serves up delicious, reasonably priced – breakfast stuff, salads, sandwiches, burgers, entrees, desserts. If you didn’t catch it before, the joint is a cash only-situation!

Long story short, a recent e-mail from long time Jeff Eats’ reader Jon G- prompted a Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats’ lunch-yesterday- and “alerted” me to the fact that Jeff Eats had never mentioned this terrific “mom & pop” diner to you guys- so if you go and like Sande’s you can thank Jeff Eats and- if you go and don’t like Sande’s- blame Jon G!

By the way, here’s Jon G’s e-mail…
From: Jon G
Subject: Sande’s Restaurant
Jeff, ever get a chance to try Sande’s in Delray on US1. Real good mom and pop diner. The frosted flake French Toast is delicious. You’ll like it!!

Finally, for you guys who made it “all” the way down here- that Frosted Flakes French Toast that reader- Jon G raved about- is absolute dynamite- I’ve had it a good handful of times!

* ZZ Top.

Not a fan!

That said, the band is “huge”…

* Howie Mandel & Nick Cannon.

Love Mandel and Cannon on America’s Got Talent!

Wouldn’t give you 10-cents for their respective standup comedy acts!

You may see things differently than Jeff Eats does, so…

* Elvis Fest 8.

Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats love “stuff” like this!

Not sure yet, but Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats are thinking about making the drive from Boca Raton!

By the way, the guy in the picture above ain’t Elvis!
