***** Bagel Bar East, 1990 Northeast 123rd Street, North Miami, Florida 33181, (305) 895-7022.

Got a very good “bagel-deli” joint for you…Bagel Bar East located in North Miami. If you are over the age of 2—you know exactly what the decor of this Monday-Sunday 6:30am-3pm joint looks like. You can check menu/prices at www.bagelbareastmiami.com.

Rather than telling you about the delicious—toasted everything with a schmear and pastrami omelette that I had, let’s turn our attention to a more immediate and pressing matter…Is there a Bagel Bar West?

* The Royal NY Doo Wop Show.

Got a real good one for you doo wop guys, The Royal NY Doo Wop Show, Friday Night (8pm)- September 9th at the Boca Black Box in Boca Raton.

Jeff Eats is kinda thinking that collectively the scheduled “artists” have a combined age of something like 1,213 years…but trust me, each and every one of these guys still has great pipes and not one of them (last time I checked) used a walker!😏

All kidding aside…

This is gonna be a great show!

If you’re a Doo Wop fan, go see The Royal NY Doo Wop Show, you’ll have an absolute blast!

* The Temptations Review Featuring Dennis Edwards.

There have been many “Temptations” but the only ones inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame are Dennis Edwards, Melvin Franklin, Eddie Kendricks, Dave Ruffin, Otis Williams and Paul Williams.

Otis “owns” The Temptations’ name and tours with 4-guys who “never in a million years” would have qualified to be Temptations in the group’s hey day! Franklin/Kendricks/Williams/Ruffin have passed and Dennis’ tribute group has for years- mesmerized audiences with its dead-on Temptations’ vocals, dance moves and style

The Temptations Review Featuring Dennis Edwards plays the Mardis Gras Casino in Hallandale Beach, Saturday, October 22, 2016 at 7pm. You can order tickets at mardisgrascasinofl.com.

Born February 3, 1943 in Birmingham, Alabama to Reverend and Mrs. Dennis Edwards Sr., he began singing as a toddler, just two years old, in his fathers’ church. His family moved to Detroit when he was seven. As a high school student, Edwards sang with the Crowns of Joy gospel group, and then in 1961 he organized his own soul/jazz group, Dennis Edwards and the Fireballs. Before joining The Contours in 1967, Edwards recorded a single for the obscure Detroit label, International Soulville Records. The single was a track called “I Didn’t Have to (But I Did)” with Johnnie on the Spot.

Edwards was the first new Temptation to enter the group after their “classic five” heyday, when he replaced David Ruffin as lead singer in July 1968. The Temptations officially introduced Edwards on July 9, 1968 on stage in Valley Forge, Pennsylvania. With his rougher gospel-hewn vocals, Edwards led the group through its psychedelic, funk, and disco periods; two of the Temptations songs he appears on, “Cloud Nine” (1968) and “Papa Was a Rollin’ Stone” (1972), won Grammy Awards. Edwards was the lead singer on many or the other Temptations hits including “I Cant’ Get Next To you”, “Ball of Confusion”, “Psychedelic Shack” and “My Girl”. The Temptations became one of the most successful Motown groups in the world.

In 1984 Motown re-launched Edwards’ solo career, and he had a hit with the 1984 single Don’t Look Any Further, which is a favorite of many fans. Dennis Edwards has received 7 Grammy Awards, 14 Gold Records, has sold over 100,000,000 recordings worldwide, is a member of the Alabama Hall of Fame and performed in Washington D.C. for the 2009 Inaugural Ball for President Obama. Edward’s television credits include many guest appearances on The Oprah Winfrey Show, Trinity Broadcasting Network, Motown’s 25th Anniversary, PBS Soul to Soul Special, Feed the Children and TV One – Jeff Majors Show.

* Artie Fletcher.

Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats have been fans of the “light blue” comedian for years!

Just picked up a pair of tickets for Fletcher’s upcoming Saturday (8pm), September 10th appearance at the Boca Black Box in Boca Raton.

If you can handle the “F” word (sheesh! Jeff Eats’ dog, Jiggy Jeff Eats can handle the “F” word), you will absolutely love Fletcher’s hilarious take on every day life!

***** Beefy King, 424 North Bumby Avenue, Orlando, Florida 32803, (407) 894-2241.

First told you guys about fast food/order-pickup at counter/”roast beef” Beefy King on April 10, 2012. The truth be told, Jeff Eats hadn’t been back since- that is until yesterday’s lunch with Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats splitting two roast beef sandwiches, a pastrami/roast beef combo sandwich and way too many tater tots!

Real simple tale to tell you guys, Beefy King which has been around for something like 48 years serves absolutely dynamite food in a no frills, no drama setting. If you live, work, go to school or just happen to be in the area, the joint is an absolute must try- that’s assuming of course, that you’re into off the chart delicious stuff like- roast beef, pastrami, corned beef and turkey sandwiches!

***** Beefy King, 424 North Bumby Avenue, Orlando, Florida 32803, (407) 894-2241.

Was up in Orlando the other day…and had a fast food lunch at Beefy King. Like most of you, I’d never heard of this joint–but its been around since 1968…as a point of reference, in 1968 I was a sophmore at Ithaca College, weighed 162 lbs and wore a size 32 waist pants. Anyway…stepping inside was like going back in time. Not 100% sure on this, but my money says that this joint hasn’t been remodled since it first opened. Anyway…two “townies” who were on line, told me that the joint was famous for its steamed roast beef, pulled pork and tater tots. So, when it came my time to order, Jeff Eats ordered pastrami-corned beef sandwiches and onion rings—just kidding.

Beefy King does…roast beef/ham & cheese/turkey/pastrami/corned beef/bbq pork/bbq beef Kaiser roll sandwiches, handful of salads, handful of sides, milkshakes.

For the record, the roast beef/pulled pork sandwiches were amazingly delicious…same for the crispy tater-tots.

Now nothing for nothing, in deciding if you are going to trust my taste buds on this “outing”—keep in mind, that I am and have always been a huge Arby’s fan.

I loved the food. I loved the nostalgic signage/decor.

You can check menu/prices at www.beefyking.com.

Defintely strange for a free standing fast food joint…it’s only open Monday-Friday 10am-3pm, Friday 11am-3pm, closed on Sunday.

***** Brighton Beach Bagel & Bakery, 14587 South Military Trail, Delray Beach, Florida 33484, (561) 270-3771.

Jeff Eats first told you guys about Brighton Beach Bagel way-back on June 30, 2016- at that time, the fast food/order-pickup at counter bagel joint was a day or so away from opening…

Long story short…

Brighton Beach Bagel & Bakery has now been open for something like 6-weeks and a couple of days ago, Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats gave it a “shot” for lunch. Rather than wasting a ton of ink telling you guys about the delicious- reasonably priced bagels/bialys/baked goods/soups/deli meats/tuna salad/chicken salad/spreads/breakfast stuff that this joint is cranking out -or Brighton’s super pleasant service- or its cool looking Retro 50’s Brooklyn vibe decor -or the joint’s bottomless help yourself hot/iced coffee setup, let me just say that Jeff Eats is hard pressed to name another Florida fast food/order-pickup at counter bagel joint as good as Brighton Beach Bagel & Bakery is!

There really isn’t too much more to say, other than if you work, play, or live in Brighton Beach Bagel & Bakery’s neighborhood- then you definitely gotta give it a shot!

The joint is open 7 days a week 6:30am-4pm.

* Brighton Beach Bagel & Bakery, 14587 South Military Trail, Delray Beach, Florida 33484, (561) 270-3771.

Jeff Eats just heard about Brighton Beach Bagel & Bakery which is set to open tomorrow morning at 6am in Delray Beach! In speaking with one of Brighton’s owners – the joint is a 150 seat (inside/outside patio) order at counter/deliver to table- bagel/deli restaurant, open Monday-Thursday 6am-5pm, Friday-Sunday 6am-3pm.

If Brighton proves to be as good as it “sounds” on its website- brightonbeachbagel.com- you guys and Jeff Eats will have found a real good joint to stuff our faces at!

Jeff Eats has Brighton Beach Bagel & Bakery “penciled in for a try” sometime in the next 30 days…if you guys get there before I do, let me know the skinny!

* Ronnie Spector & Dion Dimucci.

A recent e-mail received by Jeff Eats…

Jeff,
You ever meet Dion or Ronnie Spector?
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!

THE BOYS FARMERS MARKET GARLIC CIABATTA BREAD
$1.99

The Boys Farmers Market
14378 Military Trail
Delray Beach
(561) 496-8123
boysfarmersmarket.com
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!
