* Sha NA Na.

A recent email.

Jeff,

One of the acts that we are considering for our dad’s surprise 65th birthday party is Sha Na Na. What are your thoughts on the group.
Thanks in advance,
IV

IV:

The current Sha Na Na lineup is very entertaining. That said, would you hire The Beatles without John Lennon (Bowzer) and Paul McCartney (Johnny Contardo)? The picture I’m seeing has 3-Ringos (in the middle) make that 2-originals (Jocko Marcellino and Donny York) and 1-long time member (Screamin’ Scott Simon)…the other 4-guys pictured, are not original members and never appeared on Sha Na Na’s TV show.

Thanks for reading!

***** The Backyard Of Boynton Beach, 511 Northeast 4th Street, Boynton Beach, Florida 33435, (561) 740-0399.

Got an absolutely terrific joint for you…The Backyard Of Boynton Beach.

Now if you can, imagine a gigantic OUTDOOR TIKI BAR that has 2 -full service bars, loads of tables/booths, loads of craft beers, a raw bar, appetizers, salads, burgers, tacos, fajitas, sandwiches, desserts, wings, tvs and a stage area that has blues/country/rock/folk bands-performers working almost all of the time–you got The Backyard Of Boynton Beach. Oh! One other thing, the joint’s kitchen is a converted Airstream trailer.

Jeff Eats has been hearing about The Backyard Of Boynton Beach for a couple of years…Mrs. Jeff Eats and I finally got there today for lunch. Very eclectic crowd–bikers, young families, handful of 60ish formerly from Brooklyn Jewish lawyers, 2 plumbers, some guys who looked like they played football for Notre Dame Football in 1991, 10 former US Navy Seals circa 1987, handful of 50ish women who looked like they were Dollywood Dancers circa 1994 …to the man-woman, everyone was in shorts/tee shirt/sneakers-flip flops (except the bikers who were wearing boots/closed toed shoes) and everyone was having an absolute blast–drinking, eating and enjoying a pretty decent folk singer.

Jeff Eats did a cheeseburger/French fries, and Mrs. Jeff Eats did a chicken fajitas–we split an order of honey garlic wings-Caesar salad-slice of key lime pie. Now trust me here, top-notch sports bar stuff at sports bar prices. Real cool pierced and tattooed waitresses.

At this stage of the game if you want, you can check www.TheBackyardBoyntonBeach.com for menu/prices/music schedule/other info.

Like I said earlier-or maybe I didn’t-although there is some “cover”-The Backyard Of Boynton Beach is basically an outdoor joint…so if it rains, your up SC or SOOL!

If you are some fancy dancy–this joint ain’t for you.

Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats LOVED–The Backyard Of Boynton Beach…I think you will too! By the way, the joint is extremely dog friendly.

The Backyard Of Boynton Beach is open Sunday-Tuesday 11:30am-midnight, Wednesday 11:30am-2am.

* Party City Free $14.99 Bagged Candy.

Just in case you haven’t yet bought that- Darth Vader or Sexy Nurse costume…better get busy!

Anyway,

Last year, a Halloween trick-or-treater came to Jeff Eats’ door dressed as “Rocky” in boxing gloves and satin shorts. I gave him some candy, but 15 minutes later he came back for more. “Aren’t you the same ‘Rocky’ who was here 15-minutes ago?” I asked. “Yep,” he replied, “but now I’m the sequel. I’ll see you 4 more times later tonight!.”

By the way, I’m hearing that #7- “Creed” is in the works!

***** Heads or Tails Seafood Market & Restaurant, 3621 Northwest 54th Street, Miami, Florida 33142, (305) 634-2581.

Got a real good one for you guys…Heads or Tails Seafood Market & Restaurant in Hialeah.

Just so we are straight with each other, if you’re looking for fancy…this is a no go!

Heads or Tails is a seafood market- seafood restaurant combo joint! Half the joint is a market, the other half is a restaurant with a good handful of inside hi-tops and counter seating and outdoor patio table seating.

It would be stupid beyond belief for Jeff Eats to tell you that if you wear anything but a tee shirt/shorts/flip flop ensemble- you’ll be over dressed…

Long story short,

Terrific seafood on both sides of the aisle…the conch fritters and grilled shrimp that Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats “did” were absolute dynamite!

***** Great Value- Cinnamon French Toast Sticks.

I don’t know about you guys, but Jeff Eats is always on the look-out for something to stuff my face with while watching tv in my house…

Last week I “discovered” Great Value- Cinnamon French Toast Sticks at Walmart.

These sticks are absolute dynamite (pun intended).

The box goes for $2.74- and all you gotta do is throw the sticks in a microwave or toaster oven for 60 seconds and they are good to go!

In case you didn’t know- Great Value, is Walmart’s “house brand”…and I gotta tell you, Walmart has come-up with a real winner!

Trust Jeff Eats on this one, Great Value- Cinnamon French Toast Sticks are amazing-delicious. I am telling you to try them-you will love them!

***** DISH OF THE WEEK (Sunday- 10/4/15- Okeechobee Steak House).

One of Jeff Eats’ favorite menu items…

PRIME STEAK BURGER (with French fries)
$12.99

Okeechobee Steak House
2854 Okeechobee Boulevard
West Palm Beach
(561) 683-5151
okeesteakhouse.com
Latest Review: 5/3/08

The Okeechobee Steak House has been around for something like 68 years. Low key joint, that serves up top notch steaks/seafood at reasonable prices with no drama!-(or is it dramaless?)…

Anyway,

Just between you guys and Jeff Eats, with all of the great steaks/seafood- many people over-look the joint’s Prime Steak Burger- which is off the chart delicious.

Okeechobee Steak House (West Palm Beach)
Posted on May 3rd, 2008 · American Seafood

***** Okeechobee Steak House, 2854 Okeechobee Boulevard, West Palm Beach, Florida 33409, (561) 683-5151.

The Okeechobee Steak House has been in business since 1947. The joint is open 7 days a week for lunch and dinner.

The Okeechobee Steak House is not a fancy schmancy upscale steakhouse. That said, the food is terrific and the menu is priced right. For around 35-40 bucks a head, you get salad, entree and side dishes. A similar meal at a fancy schmancy joint- which is maybe a 1/2 a notch higher in quality and service would run you $55-60.

The Okeechobee Steak House serves top quality steaks and seafood. Like I said a few seconds ago, it isn’t a fancy schmancy joint with tee shirts/shorts being pretty common there. What makes this a “beautiful” place is that it doesn’t take itself seriously like “upscale” joints do. The game here is good food and good service in a real-easy atmosphere.

Look…you don’t stay in business for 61 years without doing something right. Try this joint, you will really enjoy the food.
