* Halloween-2014!

Remember when you were a kid?

H A L L O W E E N !

Jeff Eats, Brother Jeff Eats and our friends sure did have fun back in the 50’s “hitting” every apartment in our 6-story Brooklyn apartment building. Just between you and me, the Eats Brothers- loved getting all the candy, but our favorite trick-was the pennies, nickels, dimes and occasional quarters that some of our neighbors would throw into our bags…for some reason, we really enjoyed the day after Halloween going to Sam’s Candy Store on Cortelyou Road, between East 9th Street & Coney Island Avenue and picking out-our own stuff with the Halloween loot. All things being equal, I’m thinking with inflation and all–that in “today’s money” we probably cleared about 12 bucks a piece. Keep a secret? Loved- those Chunky Bars and still do!

Anyway, back to the present…”THIS”-sure would have made it a lot easier on the girls in my BUILDING…

Enjoy the local South Florida festivities-from what I’m hearing and reading, seems like every mall, sports bar- has something cooking this year.

This article first appeared on September 14, 2015…Jeff Eats just checked and goldstar.com has some “discount” tickets for The Ultimate Tribute To Frankie Valli…Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats are gonna be there on Friday Night. If you like Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons- I am telling you that you will love this show!

* The Ultimate Tribute To Frankie Valli.

If you’re a fan of Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons, then you gotta go see…The Ultimate Tribute To Frankie Valli.

On Friday Night -October 23, 2015 at 8pm– The Ultimate Tribute To Frankie Valli plays the Boca Black Box in Boca Raton. The 90-minute show features the music- of The Four Seasons and Valli’s solo career. Jeff Eats has seen the show and it is absolutely terrific. Fronted by William Cintron, the nationally recognized Valli tribute artist perfectly recreates the Valli-sound! Trust Jeff Eats when I tell you, The Ultimate Tribute To Frankie Valli is-not a sugar coated look-a-like ultra-choreographed tribute to the legendary group…it’s more like Valli playing a solo-up close and personal gig in a Newark bar circa 1971!

No ifs, ands or buts…Cintron and his bandmates will blow you away with their tribute to Frankie Valli!

You can catch tickets at:

Boca Black Box
8221 Glades Road

Turn back time with the irresistible songs of Frankie Valli as Boca Black Box presents a high-energy tribute to the soulful singer and the group he fronted, The Four Seasons. Chart-topping pop hits such as “Big Girls Don’t Cry,” “Walk Like a Man” and “Rag Doll” catapulted the stirring quintet to more than 100 million records sold and a spot in the Rock and Roll of Fame. And the smash hit musical based on their story, Jersey Boys, cemented the group’s legacy with multiple Tony wins and a blockbuster screen adaptation. Sip cocktails and sing along as South Florida Legends: A Tribute To Frankie Valli lights up Boca Raton.

*Cory Wells, one of the lead singers in the popular ’60s and ’70s band Three Dog Night, has died.

Make it your business- to go and see the legendary “Rockers” of the 50s-60-70s…

They aren’t getting any younger and neither are you!

This article first appeared on September 4, 2015. Just checked the box-office, plenty of real good seats left. Jeff Eats is very familiar with the “venue”- those $15 seats will work just fine!

* Air Supply.

Air Supply- one of Rock N Roll’s greatest duos is set to play the Mardi Gras Casino on 11/7/15…

Terrific outdoor venue…and just between you guys and Jeff Eats, every seat is good!

Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats will be there!

Graham Russell & Russell Hitchcock met on May 12, 1975, at rehearsals for “Jesus Christ Superstar” in Sydney, Australia; they became instant friends with their common love for The Beatles and, of course, singing. In 1980 “Lost in Love” became the fastest selling single in the world, leaping to the top of all of the charts and was named Song of the Year. Seven top-five singles later, Air Supply at that time had equaled The Beatles’ run of consecutive top five singles. The albums Lost in Love, The One That You Love, Now & Forever, and The Greatest Hits sold in excess of 20 million copies. The trademark sound of Russell Hitchcock’s soaring tenor voice and Graham Russell’s simple yet majestic songs created a unique sound that would forever be known as Air Supply.

•“AREN’T YOU EMBARRASSED?” Showtime
•THE TONIGHT SHOW
•LATE NIGHT WITH SETH MEYERS
•LATE NIGHT WITH CONAN O’BRIEN

Sebastian Maniscalco: Saying what we’re all thinking has always been Sebastian Maniscalco’s specialty. Except when he says it, it’s a whole lot funnier.

His brand new Showtime standup special “Aren’t You Embarrassed?” debuted on November 14, the sophisticated comedian with the chiseled cheekbones gives us a hilarious reality check of the world we all find ourselves living in. Continuing to bring his witheringly sarcastic and exasperated take on modern behavior and etiquette in his second Showtime special in two years, Sebastian takes on everything from selfies that he calls “lonelies” (“Do you know how alone you have to be to have 838 photos of yourself in your bathroom?”) to online restaurant reviews (“Who’s got the time to write an 18 page essay on asparagus?”) to airport check-ins (“I’m taking out a boot…a sock…a toothpaste…does anyone know what two pounds is?”). The special has already spawned the Twitter hash tag #Aren’tYouEmbarrassed, with thousands of followers donating their take via social media on the absurdities of everyday life in the year 2014.

Taping the special “Aren’t You Embarrassed?” in Chicago was a homecoming of sorts for the self-proclaimed ‘half-Sicilian, half-Italian’ who grew up in the middle class suburbs of Chicago (“The world doesn’t match my upbringing”). Priding himself on a work ethic his father instilled in him when he began working at the age of 8, Sebastian made his first dime as an altar boy at funerals during his lunch break to contribute to the family.

Still sporting his Chicago accent despite leaving the Windy City in the early 2000’s to follow his dream in Los Angeles, Sebastian began paying his comedy dues by night playing his brand of comedy in bars and bowling alleys while working as a waiter at the Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills. He eventually broke into the national spotlight with a 20-city tour in support of his one-hour Comedy Central DVD Special. Yet, it wasn’t until Sebastian captured the attention of award-winning actor and entertainer Vince Vaughn who selected him to be one of four featured comedians in the critically acclaimed film “Vince Vaughn’s Wild West Comedy Show” that his comedy career began to explode.

Since then, the 2014 American Comedy Award nominee for Best Club Comedian has established an avid fan following via national late night television appearances on “The Late, Late Show with Craig Ferguson”, “Lopez Tonight”, “Conan” and “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno”. Sebastian is also a popular guest on such ground-breaking podcasts as “WTF with Marc Maron” in addition to starring in his own wildly popular “The Pete and Sebastian Show” podcast every Friday night. If that wasn’t enough, Sebastian is currently writing a pilot for NBC alongside Austen Earl and Greg Garcia.

Still enjoying the honeymoon phase with new wife and renowned L.A. based artist Lana Gomez, Sebastian continues to develop new material at frequent shows at the Comedy Store on Sunset Boulevard. Sebastian also routinely devotes time to The COMMIT Foundation, which creates serendipity for veterans by fostering mentorship, extending professional networks, and promoting familiar camaraderie for our country’s military.

At the moment, Sebastian says he finds himself ’happier than ever’…and he ain’t embarrassed one bit.

***** Golden Rule Seafood Market, 17505 South Dixie Highway, Miami, Florida 33157, (305) 235-0661.

Got an absolutely terrific seafood market/restaurant for you guys…Golden Rule Seafood Market in Miami.

Real easy tale to tell, seafood market on one side/seafood restaurant on the other side- that has reasonably priced fresh/prepared outrageously-delicious stuff…

Now, first things first- as we don’t want anybody getting confused here…

The seafood market is open Monday-Wednesday 10am-7pm, Thursday-Friday 10am-9pm, Saturday 9am-9pm, Sunday 11am-6pm…The seafood restaurant is open Sunday-Wednesday 11am-6pm, Thursday-Saturday 11am-9pm.

Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats recently did-lunch and I gotta tell you- that the lobster salad blt, mediterraneen salad, shrimp-scallop pasta that we ordered- were all off the chart good! No bs- here, the food was absolutely delicious-the service was as pleasant as could be and the combo seafood market/restaurant décor-vibe real cool…by the way, if you wear anything but tee shirt/shorts/sneaker-flip flops you are gonna be waaaay over-dressed.

Let Jeff Eats wrap this baby up for you…Golden Rule Seafood Market is an absolute must try!

This article originally appeared on June 4, 2013. Read the tale- trust Jeff Eats, what I described actually works! Jeff Eats kinda thinks it might come in handy- for you “new” guys to Sunny South Florida!

* Hard Rock Live—Tickets For Less Than Face *

I don’t know about you, but Jeff Eats “thinks” that some-actually most of the shows at the Hard Rock Live at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood are waaaay tooo expensive. Now, you’re a smart bunch of guys, so you know exactly what I’m talking about—this Tickemaster and its fees etc.—absolutely absurd!

Anyway…

You guys do know, that the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino usually offers its “good” players 2-free tickets to the concerts at its Hard Rock Live…all the player has to do- is show-up starting at 3pm the day of the concert/show at the box-office/player’s club office with his/her player’s card and license and the player is handed 2 FREE TICKETS.

Now…

You could become one of those “good” players and recieve your 2 free tickets the day of the show—or…

You could wait outside the box-office/player’s club office starting at 3pm and probably buy the tickets at a huge discount for cash from the “good” players who just-picked-up- free-tickets at the boxoffice/player’s club office and couldn’t give a rat’s ass about going to the show/concert. These players-want cash not tickets…and you got the cash–so as Monty Hall use to say—“Let’s Make A Deal”–or as animal rights advocate Bob Barker use to say—“The price is right”…or was it, “Come on down”…anyway, I’m sure you caught my drift.

So…as Jeff Eats sees it—you now know about a way to get tickets for less than face-value.

For what it’s worth…Jeff Eats isn’t talking out of his hat here…I know of ticket transactions as described above–for the recent The Rascals, Hall & Oates, Bill Cosby, Crosby, Stills & Nash concerts, just to name but a few.

* Tracy Morgan.

The guy is very funny.

Not looking to be crass or nothing, but the “car crash” made him into a giant-star headliner!

Jeff Eats is thinking-SRO for this show!

* Frankie Valli And The Four Seasons.

The guy’s “voice” is totally shot…

But- the man is a legend (albeit one that now wears earrings), so the choice is yours!

***** Onion Board.

This one is so ridiculously simple that it’s scary!

You go to,

The Boys Farmers Market
14378 South Military Trail
Delray Beach, Florida 33484
(561) 496-0810
Boysfarmersmarket.com
Open 7 days a week- 8:30am-5:30pm

and you buy one of these Onion Boards for $2.99, you then go home-open the plastic bag and rip a nice chunk off-you pop the chunk in the toaster-when toasted you schmear the chunk with whipped cream cheese-and then with a nice hot cup of coffee, you eat the chunk now knowing-the true meaning of the old saying- “As happy as a pig in shit.”

Absolutely amazing delicious!
