“Joan lives! What an amazing tribute to Joan Rivers! Joe Posa really nails his performance. I got completely lost in the show — Mr. Posa had the right tone, the right outfitxxx, and the right movements to capture all of Joan’s mannerisms and especially her humor!!!! Wildly entertaining! I feel lucky to have seen it”.

A recent Jeff Eats’ e-mail.

Jeff,

Not to get personal but I know that you live in Boca Raton. I mention that because I also live in Boca Raton at the Broken Sound Country Club.

I was thinking that maybe you could help me out with a little football party I’m having next Sunday at my home for about 35 people. I’m thinking salads, pizzas, subs, calzones, wings and fruit/desserts. Definitely using The Boys Farmers Market for fruits/desserts. What’s your best call on the the other items? It goes without saying, looking for delicious food, good prices, reliable, close by and delivery service if possible.

Thanks,

Terri W.

Terri W.:

Got the perfect joint for you, Jet’s Pizza in Boca Raton.

Just a heads-up, don’t be a-scared (afraid) that Jet’s Pizza is a -takeout only- national pizza chain…

Over the past few weeks, Jeff Eats has “taken-out” something like 5 times from the Jet’s Pizza in Boca Raton-and I gotta tell you, that all the-stuff (pizzas/calzones/subs/salads/wings/breads) ordered was right on the money! My last- outing just 3- days ago, netted me Jet’s bread, Caesar salad, a calzone (marinara sauce/mozzarella cheese/pepperoni/sausage) and an 8 corner pepperoni pizza- all of which I would highly recommend being in your party order! Trust Jeff Eats when I tell you, that all of Jet’s Pizza’s food is delicious…it’s just a question of the menu you want to put together!

By the way, there are currently 27-Jet’s Pizzas in Florida (jetspizza.com/stores/state/FL)- based on your “address” the Boca Raton store is the closest to your home.

No question in my mind…Jet’s Pizza is perfect for your party! By the way, your- Boys’ pick for fruits/desserts is absolutely the way to go!

Thanks for reading…and as of right now-Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats have no real plans for next Sunday!

DISH OF THE WEEK (Sunday- 9/6/15- Jet’s Pizza- Boca Raton)
***** 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!

***** DISH OF THE WEEK (Sunday- 10/11/15)

One of Jeff Eats’ favorite menu items…

CHICKEN PARMIGIANA
$19

Rocky’s Italian Bistro
20 Southeast 5th Avenue
Delray Beach

Latest Review: 4/8/09

You guys and Jeff Eats both know that “mom & pop red sauce” Italian joints are a dime a dozen down here in South Florida.

The way I’m thinking, for the same money- why shouldn’t I eat in a joint- that looks good, smells good, treats customers good and serves an outrageously delicious chicken parmigiana!

So there you go!

Rocky’s reminds me of the Italian joints that dotted- Bay Ridge, Brooklyn 35-40 years ago! For you guys who don’t “know” Bay Ridge, for starters go watch “Saturday Night Fever” -think Tony Manero (John Travolta played the part)- and you’ll know Rocky’s Italian Bistro’s -vibe!

Try Rocky’s Italian Bistro…it does things right!

***** Rocky’s Italian Bistro, 20 Southeast 5th Avenue, Delray Beach, Florida 33483 (561) 276-8703.

Last Sunday night…around 6:30pm my wife and I were strolling around the Atlantic Avenue -area in Delray Beach. For sure, a handful of restaurants in this “faux-trendy” neighborhood have good-reasonably priced food, but there are also a number of joints, that are dishing out mediocre- overpriced stuff.

Now for the good news…Rocky’s Italian Bistro is one of the “good guys”…good food, good looking semi-upscale decor (but your tee shirst/shorts will work), good prices, good service.

Now don’t get wise (we had plenty of leftovers to take home)…a taste-test of clams orgenatta, veal parmigiana, chicken piccata, penne alla vodka and linguine with clams in a white sauce, was right-on-the money. The food is as good, if not better than your favorite neighborhood Italian-joint-hangout.

So…the next time you need a good Italian joint to eat in while strolling Atlantic Avenue…Rocky’s is the place for you. By the way, the joint is open 7-days a week for dinner

***** It’s Greek To Me!, 17 South Pompano Parkway Pompano Beach, Florida 33069, (954) 973-4655.

Got a real- good fast food Greek joint for you guys…It’s Greek To Me! in Pompano Beach. Just between us- this It’s Greek To Me! is what I call- “an out of sight, out of mind” joint -Jeff Eats first told you about it on December 25, 2010- hadn’t been back until a few days ago!

Anyway,

Real easy concept going on here…order & pickup at the counter/good handful of tables inside/a couple outside. Nice-reasonably priced menu!

Last week Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats gave the joint a shot for lunch- and I gotta tell you, that the gyro pita, chicken pita and Greek salad that we had- were right on the money!

Now, not to sound conceited or nothing, but Jeff Eats knows his stuff when it comes to Greek! Hey! I’ve seen every Kojak episode at least twice and I love Tootsie Roll Lollipops…and I’m telling you guys that this joint is a winner. The food is solid. The prices are reasonable. Fast and super pleasant counter-folk. AND Mrs. Jeff Eats said to tell you, that the Ladies Room was A-OK!

It’s Greek To Me! is open Monday-Saturday 11am-9pm, closed Sunday.

Who isn’t familiar with these classic tunes? Once again, the band stays as close as possible to the original recordings and the orchestra is “wrapped” around that original sound. Lots of vocals, lots of harmonic structure and a perfect group to be accompanied by an orchestra. High energy, fun music, and the familiarity of the songs make the show a fun one both to play and to see. Vegas veteran Brody Dolyniuk handles the complex and difficult task of representing the unmistakable vocals of Freddie Mercury, and Randy Jackson perfectly personifies the vocals of Robert Plant. If you’re an average fan or someone who knows literally every song every recorded by Queen or Led Zeppelin, there’s something for you in this show. Windborne digs deep to bring out some of the best (and sometimes forgotten) tunes that these two legendary bands recorded over the years.

The Musicians for this show are:
Brent Havens – Conductor, Arranger
Brody Dolyniuk – Vocals/Guitar
Dan Clemens – Bass/Background Vocals
Powell Randolph – Drums/Background Vocals
George Cintron – Guitar/Background Vocals
Bart Kuebler – Keyboards/Background Vocals

About Windborne Music

Windborne Productions, Inc. has been in existence since 1990 beginning work in both television and cinema.

Mission Statement

Windborne strives to present excellent productions with the most talented personnel and the best attitudes possible.

***** G.H. Cretors.

Way-back on April 11, 2015- Jeff Eats told you guys about a popped corn company named- G.H. Cretors. That story is down below…

Long story short, apparently- the guys who “run” G.H. Cretors are Jeff Eats’ readers…last week, they sent me 3 bags of new popcorn flavors to “try”…Double Chocolate Caramel Corn, Orchard Apple Caramel Corn, Pumpkin Spice Caramel Corn!

Now you guys know and Jeff Eats knows, that the G.H. folks- didn’t send those bags out of the goodness of their hearts- they want- me to tell you about them!

So here goes…the Double Chocolate was absolutely delicious!…the Orchard Apple was very good…the Pumpkin Spice not for me!

You guys know that all of this food “reviewing” is purely subjective. What I love you may hate and vice versa. What I consider hot you may consider sweet! I know you get the picture!

Let me wrap this up for you, G.H. Cretors makes some awesome popcorn. It’s up to you guys to figure out what “awesome” tastes like!
