***** Jordan’s Steak Bistro, 10140 West Forest Hill Boulevard, Wellington, Florida 33414, (561) 793-9394.

First told you guys about Jordan’s Steak Bistro way-back on 9/11/13.

Over the past 2-years, Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats have eaten at Jordan’s a number of times and- absolutely love the joint!

Trust Jeff Eats on this one, Jordan’s Steak Bistro is as good-if not better than most of South Florida’s highfalutin-steak joints and it’s “cheaper”- (I think that I am suppose to say-less expensive)!

Anyway,

Reprinted down below is Jeff Eats’ 9/11/13 “story”- and a “deal” that I just got from localflavor.com which makes Jordan’s Steak Bistro even “cheaper” to eat at- or shall I say, less expensive than it normally would be.

Jeff Eats highly recommends that you guys try Jordan’s Steak Bistro and take advantage of localflavor.com’s “deal” (like I did, about 17 minutes ago)!

Jordan’s Steak Bistro (Wellington)
Posted on September 11th, 2013 · American Wellington

***** Jordan’s Steak Bistro, 10140 West Forest Hill Boulevard, Wellington, Florida 33414, (561) 793-9394.

Got a really good “American Style” joint for you…Jordan’s Steak Bistro in Wellington.

I appreciate—that the word STEAK is featured in the restaurant’s name…but Jordan’s really isn’t a steak-house….

The joint’s got a full bar with tvs and a casual décor. When you check Jordan’s website- www.jordanssteakbristro.com for menu/prices, you’ll find a couple of photos, so you’ll know what the restaurant looks like.

Jordan’s menu covers grilled cheese sandwiches to bone- in ribeyes…so don’t worry, everybody is gonna find what to eat.

A recent outing entailed, fried calamari-margherita flatbread-grilled Caesar salad-cheeseburger-18oz bone-in ribeye…and I must-say, everything was delicious. I especially enjoyed the ribeye-ranking it up there with the stuff you catch in the best South Florida steakhouses. On the price front, let’s say “reasonable” and service was as pleasant as can be.

Just so we are on the same page here, that ribeye ran 39 bucks and the steak fries side was another 5 …so– we ain’t exactly talking neighborhood “sports bar” prices—but all in all, the bet here is, that you won’t have to rush out to some ATM when you see the bill…then again, maybe you will have to, but I don’t know, because Jeff Eats hasn’t looked in your wallet-lately!

Let me wrap this one up for you this way…

Jeff Eats really enjoyed Jordan’s…

Jordan’s Steak Bistro is open Monday-Thursday 4pm-10pm, Friday-Saturday 4pm-11pm, Sunday 4pm-9pm.

We’ve seen the show and it’s TERRIFIC!

Human Nature, Australia’s most successful male vocal group and Las Vegas Strip headliners, will perform nine east coast concert dates this summer.

Featuring the vocal harmonies of brothers Andrew and Michael Tierney, Phil Burton and Toby Allen, the quartet is accompanied by their 7-piece band, The Funk Foundation and new digital video staging technology. Throughout their concert dates, Human Nature brings their unique sound to some of pop music’s most enduring anthems, including “Stop! In the Name of Love”, “Reach Out”, “ABC” and “My Girl.”

***** Mikes Italian New York Style Pizzeria & Restaurant, 13712 Southwest 84th Street, Miami, Florida 33183, (305) 382-6200.

You guys do-know that there are more “mom & pop” Italian joints in South Florida- than there are Chins in a Chinese phonebook!

With the above in mind, I got a real good “one” for you- Mikes Italian New York Style Pizzeria & Restaurant- in Kendall…the joint has been around since 1980 and has seating inside/and outside.

When you check Mikes- website- mikespizzaofkendall.com you’re gonna-find the “expected” menu loaded with appetizers/pizzas/pastas/subs/meat-chicken-seafood entrees…

A recent dinner outing of Jeff Eats, Mrs. Jeff Eats and another couple netted us- large cheese pizza, veal parmigiana sub, sausage & peppers sub, baked lasagna (ricotta cheese & meat sauce), chicken piccata, fried calamari and I gotta tell you-good stuff!

Just between you guys and Jeff Eats, I’ve been in a ton- and I do mean a ton of South Florida “mom & pop” Italian joints…some are dynamite, some are almost dynamite, some are good, some are just passable and some are just “meh” (people on YELP love to use that word)…

Long story short, if Mikes Italian New York Style Pizzeria Pizza & Restaurant was by my house, I’d be a-steady customer. Jeff Eats loved the thin/crisp/sweet sauce pizza and the subs and lasagna killed. Didn’t really care for the calamari or chicken piccata -but you guys do know, that this food “reviewing” gig is just a game-in the first place, anyway! By the way, my friend Artie who was with me, liked the calamari- but as far I’m concerned he knows-dick about calamari, now as for pizza, that’s whole ‘nother story!

Mikes is my kinda restaurant…good food, reasonable prices, super friendly wait-staff, plenty of Coca Cola, shorts/tee shirt friendly. If Jeff Eats was forced to rate Mike’s…somewhere between, good and almost dynamite- take the calamari and chicken piccata out of the equation- almost dynamite. Hey! I’ve been telling you guys for years, that “rating systems” are dumb!

If you live or work in Mikes’ neighborhood, you now know about a real-good “mom & pop” Italian joint to eat-in or take-out from!

Mikes Italian New York Style Pizzeria & Restaurant is open Sunday-Thursday 11am-10pm, Friday-Saturday 11am-11pm.

* An intimate Evening With Music Series.

I got something so good for you guys that it’s actually scary…An Intimate Evening With Music Series- at The Plaza Ballroom & Event Centre.

Real simple, 400 seat venue- that is booking in some of the most-legendary Rock N Roll groups of all time. Seats are dirt cheap, the sound and light systems are incredible and every and I do mean every seat in the house is dynamite. Guys!- If you check Jeff Eats’- 11/15/14- Routing Of Acts “story”- you’ll have some-idea as to how The Plaza Ballroom can “afford” such-great acts and why the concerts are on Thursday nights.

Trust Jeff Eats when I tell you, The Plaza Ballroom & Event Centre (111 US Highway One, North Palm Beach, Florida 33408, (561) 842-0111) literally just got into the “concert” business…as a matter of fact, Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats were there last week- for its inaugural “concert”- which featured- Firefall- and I am telling you, it was an absolutely amazing-show!

VERY FEW PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT THIS NEW CONCERT VENUE. Rest assured, guaranteed, the “secret” is gonna get out- but in the meantime…

Little River Band and Jefferson Starship are the next two scheduled shows.

Like I said 2-seconds ago, every seat is good…there is table and row seating- and a bar area/with some finger-food (if you’re hungry).

Jeff Eats is no-shill for The Plaza Ballroom- all I can tell you, this venue-is producing great concerts!

You can catch tickets at theplazaballroom.com.

* The Soul Of Motown Detroit.

A real simple tale to tell…

Roll The Stones- one of America’s best Rolling Stones tribute bands- takes on the sounds of Motown- Detroit!

Just between you guys and Jeff Eats, I’ve seen the “rehearsal” and I am telling you that this SHOW is gonna blow people away!

Trust me on this one, a whole ‘nother-spin on Motown & Detroit- music.

Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats are going.

If you want to see the first-production of The Soul Of Motown Detroit…

You can catch $15 tickets at theplazaballroom.com.

Thursday, August 13th at 8pm Sharp.

A special show performed by Roll The Stones with guest Kat Riggins of Blues Revival. With countless hits and a legacy that has endured over time, this is truly feel good music for all ages that will provide pure entertainment with it’s catalog of classic sounds.

Trace the influence of soul on rock and how this left it’s mark on the British Invasion as well as today’s chart toppers. Don’t forget Detroit is also home to some great rock and roll as well. With a gritty urban sound that also left it’s mark on the music world, you will surely find out that the soul carried over into the rock for a special blend that has an appeal unique to the Motor City alone! Often imitated but the music does the talking and stands the test of time forever.

***** DISH OF THE WEEK (Sunday- 7/26/15).

One of Jeff Eats’ favorite menu items…

DOUBLE HI CHEESEBURGER & FRENCH FRIES
$8.40

HiWay Burger
12 Southeast 5th Avenue
Delray Beach
(561) 243-6430
hiwayburger.com
Latest Review: 4/5/15

Real simple story to tell you…

Based on the terrific double cheeseburger and French fries that Jeff Eats had last night, HiWay Burger gets a second (first was on 4/5/15) shout-out as the Dish Of The Week!

For the uninformed…

Hole in the wall-fast food burger joint- that makes amazing-delicious grilled flat topped cheeseburgers and hand cut fresh French fries. The joint also does-real nice milkshakes and for you non-meat eaters (according to Mrs. Jeff Eats) serves up a delicious veggie burger!

Trust Jeff Eats on this one, HiWay Burger is absolutely a must try!

***** Johnny’s Subs, 4634 Forest Hill Boulevard, West Palm Beach, Florida 33415, (561) 642-6663.

Got a real good one for you guys…Johnny Subs in West Palm Beach.

Now you guys and Jeff Eats know that there are more sub-joints in South Florida than there are Chins in a Chinese phonebook…that said, the trick is finding the really good ones.

With the above in mind, Jeff Eats recently “tried” Johnny’s Subs and the joint’s stuff was absolute dynamite. Just so you don’t think that Jeff Eats is a huge pig or something- Jeff Eats’ party of four (4) ordered- 12″ Cuban sub ($7.49), 12″ chicken parmigiana sub ($7.49), 12″ tuna sub ($7.99), 12″ roast beef sub ($7.99), 12″ turkey breast sub ($7.49) and I gotta tell you- that every sandwich was delicious. If I had to do a pecking order- that Cuban sub was as Jimmy Walker use to say- DYNOMITE!! No fooling here, one of the best Cuban subs I’ve had down her in sunny South Florida. Now, please don’t get me wrong, the other subs were all-delicious, but that Cuban sub- off the chart! By the way, two of my buddies agreed on the Cuban sub call- but our buddy Mike, thought that the chicken parmigiana sub was the best- but between you and me, Mike also thinks that Trump is gonna get the Republican nomination for President- so we know how smart Mike is!

You guys now know where you can get killer-subs for cheap money!

Johnny’s Subs is open Monday-Saturday 9am-8pm, Sunday 9am-5pm.

*’The Daily Meal- America’s 75 Best Hot Dogs For 2015.

Now you guys and Jeff Eats know- that lists like this really don’t mean squat…but we- do need things to read in the bathroom!

Jeff Eats recently caught the below article/list on thedailymeal.com and I’m thinking that some of you-might enjoy the read.

I will tell you, the Nathan’s Hot Dog “pictured” with KETCHUP- yes KETChUP on it… Kinda tells me that the article/list is probably-full of crap (pun intended).

Anyway, enjoy the read!

Posted on July 1, 2015
America’s 75 Best Hot Dogs | The Daily Meal

On our quest to find America’s best hot dogs, we started by putting a list together of hot dog places with a definitive style of hot dog, one which embodies not only the region’s quirks but also the particular tastes and culinary traditions of its people. We made sure to take into account online reviews from locals as well as the dog’s overall reputation among those in the know, and the quality of the ingredients — namely, sourcing the franks from well-known local producers — was also important. These hot dogs aren’t being eaten in a void, either, so we took into account the entire experience, from driving up to the restaurant or stand to placing your order to taking that first bite. We also made sure to build on our previous years’ rankings (find rankings from 2013 here and 2014 here).

Once we had our list of more than 200 hot dog places from across the country finalized, we built them into a survey, divided by region. We called on food writers, bloggers, and journalists from around the country to take the survey, and asked hot dog experts to submit their favorite spots for survey inclusion. The 36 survey respondents included writer Patrick Evans-Hylton, Forbes’ Larry Olmsted, Food Network Star contestant and blogger Jay Ducote, and blogger Holly Moore of HollyEats.com.

[Only one Major League Baseball stadium made the list; Dodger Stadium at #65. The winner was Katz’s Deli, Houston St., NYC.
