* THE NYSE GUYS.

Jeff Eats has been a huge- NYSE GUYS’ fan for years. Absolutely love these guys. Three first class-lead singers who “cover” the greatest hits of the 40s-50s-60s-70s.

The reason for today’s mention- saw them the other night at the Boca Black Box in Boca Raton and once again The NYSE Guys blew me away with 2-hours of great vocals/audience patter…so Jeff Eats thought he would share that…

THE NYSE GUYS’ next scheduled “public” show- Century Village, 2400 Century Blvd, Deerfield Beach, FLorida 33442, (954) 421-2556 on Saturday Night, November 28, 2015 at 8pm…if you’re a Century Village Resident- tickets are $10, if you are a Non-Resident- tickets are $15…tickets can be purchased at cveevents.com.

Trust me on this one, if you like the music of the 40s-50s-60s-70s, then you will love The NYSE Guys!

Just in case you need some convincing as to how good these guys really are…

Neil Diamond, The Beach Boys, Dion & The Belmonts, Jay & The Americans and plenty of “Rat Pack” tunes with their own twist. With their three different and distinct vocal styles, each sings solo, duet and then accent it with some very smooth three-part harmonies.

Go see Southside Johnny And The Asbury Jukes and then we can talk!- (I mean, then you can talk!).

from coralspringscenterforthearts.com

A mainstay of the tight-knit New Jersey rocker community, Southside Johnny & The Asbury Jukes have swapped songs and members with Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band, Bon Jovi and others. But they’ve sustained a strong following of their own for more than three decades with their blend of classic blues-rock and horn-driven soul, legendary live shows and signature singles like “I Don’t Want to Go Home,” “The Fever” and “Talk to Me.” They released a well-reviewed studio album, Pills and Ammo, in 2010, along with their latest live disc, Men Without Women, in 2012.

• GRAPES & SYRIAN REFUGEES.

If someone handed you a bunch of grapes and said, “Here’s a bunch of grapes, I’m not sure, but a couple of the grapes may be poisonous”- would you eat any of the grapes?

I didn’t think so!

The President of the United States should start reading food blogs.

Chef Tai’s (Boca Raton)

***** Chef Tai’s, 4810 Northwest Boca Raton Boulevard, Boca Raton, Florida 33431, (561) 998-7887.

Christmas Day 2014 + 2 Reformed Jews formerly from Brooklyn = Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats giving the nod to Chef Tai’s this year.

If you don’t know what I’m talking about here, I give up!

Jeff Eats’ 11/30/2010 Chef Tai’s “review” is reprinted down below.

For those of you who may not be familiar with Chef Tai’s…it’s a “mom & pop” takeout only Chinese joint, located in a big old-huge crappy strip center and it makes delicious stuff.

***** Chef Tai’s, 4810 Northwest Boca Raton Boulevard, Boca Raton, Florida 33431, (561) 998-7887.

Chef Tai’s is a Chinese takeout-only joint in Boca Raton…surprise-surprise (courtesy Gomer Pyle), it is located in a “bombed-out” shopping center- that you probably wouldn’t drive into in a million years. That said…Chef Tai’s makes some delicious stuff. I heard about Chef Tai’s about 5 months ago– have gotten food four times…haven’t been disappointed even once.

Delicious- egg rolls, fried dumplings, bbq ribs, general tso’s chicken, roast pork fried rice, shrimp with black bean sauce, pepper steak.

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

Based on Jeff Eat’s patent-pending “Brooklyn Chinese Food Taste Test”- I gotta give Chef Tai’s a top-notch rating. Trust me on this, the food is really good.

Chef Tai’s is open Monday-Saturday 11am-9pm, closed on Sunday

Willow Theatre at Sugar Sand Park ( 300 S. Military Trail Boca Raton, FL 33486 )

The entertaining quartet known as The 4 Guyz travels back through time to the happy days of the ’50s and ’60s, where four-part vocal harmonies ruled the pop charts and bobby soxers and greasers roamed the malt shops. A lighthearted, interactive musical revue that has been running for more than 10 years in the Midwest and now makes its South Florida debut, 4 Ever ’50s pays tribute to the doo-wop days with comic patter and a lineup of hit songs. You’ll hear all the top hits, from upbeat favorites like “Duke of Earl,” “Rock Around the Clock” and “At the Hop” to romantic ballads, including “Blue Moon,” “Sixteen Candles” and more.

***** Gary Woo Express, 9874 Yamato Road, Boca Raton, Florida 33434, (561) 483-8889.

Got an absolutely terrific Chinese-takeout joint for you…Gary Woo Express in Boca Raton.

Just so you know, Jeff Eats originally “reviewed” this joint on August 19, 2009…suffice it to say, I loved its food back in 2009. Anyway, about 8 months ago new owners took over and to their credit, the food they are “banging-out” is even better than the original stuff. Trust me on this one, Gary Woo Express is right up there with the best Chinese restaurants that Jeff Eats has tried down here in South Florida.

When you check menu/prices at www.garywooexpress.com- in addition to loads of Chinese stuff you will find a huge Japanese menu. For the record, Jeff Eats, didn’t try any of the Japanese items, but if the Japanese food is as good as the Chinese stuff was—Gary Woo Express will be a joint where you can get both-delicious Chinese and Japanese takeout. Just so you know, Gary Woo Express has a couple of tables inside and a handful outside—but this joint is basically a takeout.

Applying Jeff Eats’ 1950’s Brooklyn Jewish Taste Test…sampled items included— won ton soup, tomato egg drop soup, egg rolls, pan fried pork dumplings, bbq ribs, general tso’s chicken, sweet & sour pork, pepper steak, shrimp in lobster sauce, chicken lo mein, roast pork fried rice. The result…Gary Woo Express is one of the best Chinese-takeoout joints that Jeff Eats has tried down here in South Florida. No kidding around, every item “tried” was delicious. To be perfectly honest with you, Jeff Eats’ original plan was to put the “dishes” in some sort of pecking order- but they were all dynamite–so I’ didn’t bother. For you wise-guys out there, No!–Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats didn’t eat “all” that food all by ourselves in one sitting…The fact of the matter, the taste test was conducted in 2-parts…some of the food was picked-up on a Thursday night and some was picked up on Saturday night—so there!

If I got one bitch here, I found the prices a drop- on the high side. No big deal–no second job needed…but the prices were definitely higher than the local competition.

Before I run…if you decide to try Gary Woo Express–when you get to the joint, you’ll find a “menu-rack” outside the front door. The takeout menus in the rack–have coupons and you can use them “right away”— Now that I’m thinking, the coupon that I used saved me 10% off my entire order. The point of all this yapping—use the coupons to off-set the higher-prices I detected.

Gary Woo Express was a “huge” find.

I am telling you, this joint is right up there with best of breed.

Gary Woo Express is open Monday-Friday 11am-10pm and Saturday-Sunday 2pm-10pm.
