***** The Original Bomb Pop.

Jeff Eats just picked-up 2 boxes for 5 bucks at Publix!-and yes, I know that the pops are red, white and blue- and that July 4th is a couple of days away…pure coincidence!

I don’t know about you guys, but I think that these “suckers” (pun intended) are absolutely delicious…

If I got my math right, $.20833 a pop (pun intended)!

Trust Jeff Eats on this one, buy a box or two, money well went!

Somebody’s tax dollars at work…

Terrific band lineup…trust Jeff Eats, I’ve seen all 4-“tributes” and they are real-strong!

Jeff Eats is always on the look-out for a hot band that can “really” play – Rock, Pop, Blues, Country, Motown & Today’s Dance Music…

***** Don Nicola Pizzeria, 3585 Mystic Pointe Drive, Aventura, Florida 33180, (786) 916-2028.

Got something real good for you guys, Don Nicola Pizzeria located in the Mystic Pointe condominium hi-rise community in Aventura.

Not for nothing, you gotta go through a guard-house to get to the joint- but don’tcha-worry, the guards- all honor graduates of the Colonel Klink School of Security & Counter Terrorisn will let you in, just have a current driver’s license… When you go through the ‘checkpoint” the restaurant which has a handful of indoor/outdoor tables is about 100 feet straight ahead right on the Intracoastal Waterway.

As you can see from the menu down below, kinda limited- handful of gas-brick oven pizzas, salads, entrees, desserts- wine and beer.

Real simple tale…Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats absolutely loved the thin crisp -sweet sauce margherita pizza, chicken napolitana, fresco verde salad that we ordered.

Another cool thing about Don Nicolas Pizzeria- unless you live in Mystic Pointe you’re probably the only person in your “social circle” (that is-unless like you they read Jeff Eats) who has ever heard of the joint- for whatever that’s worth! Look at it this way, when you eat there- you ain’t gonna be bumping into your obnoxious next door neighbor -the one with the Doctor Diamond Nose- who constantly brags to you that her kids went to Harvard while your two geniuses- were lucky to have made it through Staten Island Community College!

You can check menu/prices at donnicolapizzeria.com.

The joint is open Tuesday-Sunday 5pm-9:30pm. closed on Monday.

* Jeffrey Ross.

First told you guys about “this” on 6/12/15…Jeff Eats just checked the box-office and there are a handful of good tickets left…I’m thinking that this gonna be a real fun night!

Unless you’re from Mars, Venus, Uranius- you know who Jeffrey Ross is …

Ross’ appearances- on Comedy Central’s Celebrity Roasts are legendary…

Trust Jeff Eats when I tell you- one of the funniest comedians working the circuit today. Ross can go blue or clean- and either way- have you crying from laughter.

Real simple…

Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats are going…and you should too!

About The Roastmaster
Called “an heir apparent to such old-school masters as Buddy Hackett and Rodney Dangerfield” by the New York Times, Jeffrey Ross is feared and revered for his appearances at celebrity roasts. He also stars in a stand-up DVD, Jeffrey Ross: No Offense, as well as an award-winning documentary about his time entertaining U.S. troops in Iraq, Patriot Act: A Jeffrey Ross Home Movie. Jeff divides his time between New York, Los Angeles, and the road.

A Message From The Roastmaster General
My name is Jeffrey Ross, but I am commonly known as the Roastmaster General. I’m not entirely sure how I got this title, but it has stuck and I am proud of it. Most stand-up comics are self-deprecating. I’m all-deprecating. Sure, I occasionally make fun of myself — but I specialize in making fun of others. I’m what is commonly known as an insult comic. Diss is my life.

I never planned on making fun of people for a living. It happened by accident. In fact, my whole life has been a series of happy and not-so-happy accidents that have transformed me into the black belt in busting balls that I am today. I like being known as the meanest man in comedy, but I must admit that it’s a blessing and a curse. It’s not a bad way to make a living, but every now and then somebody wants to kill me.

* Screw The Dentist!

Just between you guys and Jeff Eats, sometimes you gotta live-life dangerously!

This afternoon, picked-up these 24- beauties for 24 bucks at Nuts About Candy, 2900 West Sample Road (Festival Flea Market Mall), Pompano Beach, Florida 33073, (954) 984-8908…

Here’s a reprint of Jeff Eats’ Nuts About Candy “review” from 1/1/14. Absolutely love this joint’s stuff!

Nuts About Candy (Pompano Beach)
Posted on January 1st, 2014 · American Desserts Fast Food Music/Events/Other Pompano Beach

***** Nuts About Candy, 2900 West Sample Road (Festival Flea Market), Pompano Beach, Florida 33073, (954) 984-8908.

Call me a wild and crazy guy (I know-Steve Martin), but this morning I woke-up craving some chocolate Bonomo Turkish Taffy. Sounds nuts but Jeff Eats ain’t playing you here.

Anyway…

After a handful of telephone calls, Jeff Eats found a joint named- Nuts About Candy located in the Festival Flea Market that had chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, blue raspberry, wild cherry and banana bars in stock. For the historians out there, Bonomo Turkish Taffy has been around since 1912 and the original flavors were chocolate, vanilla, banana and strawberry–and if Jeff Eats forgets about the cost of 6-teeth implants, is one of the greatest candies ever created.

Anyway…

To make a long story short, this afternoon Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats took a ride and found Nuts About Candy (Booths #3327 & 3331) at the intersection of Carnival & Bourbon Street…and I gotta tell you that this flea-market “store” in addition to Bonomo Turkish Taffy had a great selection of reasonably priced nuts/chocolates/candy/nostalgia candy. Now for the craziest part of the story (well at least to Jeff Eats it is)-is that although Nuts About Candy has been in the Festival Flea Market for something like 26 years, Jeff Eats (who has shopped at the Festival for years) had not even once-consciously noticed it…maybe subconsciously, but definitely not consciously. You gotta admit, that’s pretty crazy!

Let me wrap Nuts About Candy up (pun intended) for you…I hate this store-because by 3:30 this afternoon, Jeff Eats’ New Year’s resolution to lose 25 pounds ended as I downed huge chunks of chocolate Bonomo Turkish Taffy-at least 12 inches of button candy and something like 11 Mary Janes. Oh well, 2015 is fast approaching!

Nuts About Candy is a no-frills operation. Guess that’s how it’s able to sell its stuff at prices something like 1/2 of what competitors in the area are getting. By the way, the joint is owned by a real pleasant mother & daughter team Marilyn and Wendy–and in addition to selling packaged candy/nuts, candy/nuts by the lb.-also makes/ships some really cool candy/nuts trays and baskets.

Nuts About Candy’s website www.floridanutsaboutcandy.com is currently down-getting a facelift…but should be up real soon so you can check-out all of its stuff/prices.

The joint is open Monday-Friday 9:30am-5pm, Saturday and Sunday 9:30am-6pm.

***** Bigun’s Bar B.Q., 7280 Sunshine Grove Road, Brooksville, Florida 34613, (352) 596-4180.

Got a really good diner/bbq joint for you guys…Bigun’s Bar B.Q. in Brooksville.

Jeff Eats is thinking that if you’re thinking- “Deliverance” which starred Burt Reynolds, Ned Beatty, Jon Voight and Ronny Cox- kinda “décor”- you’re gonna be on the right page!

So there is no misunderstanding, although the “handle” is Bigun’s Bar B.Q.- the joint in addition to smoked-bbq stuff has all kinds of breakfast items, grilled dishes, fried foods, baked dishes, sandwiches- so on and so forth!

Right up front, Jeff Eats absolutely loved Bigun’s…the food was dynamite and the folks that run the joint are as pleasant as can be.

Bigun’s is basically a breakfast & lunch diner- for good measure it does dinner on Friday.

Just so you have it straight- Bigun’s Bar B.Q.’s hours…Monday-Thursday 6am-2pm, Friday 6am-8pm, Saturday 6am-11pm, closed on Sunday.

Anyway,

Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats recently did lunch…beef brisket, grilled chicken breast, meatloaf, French fries, mac & cheese, collard greens, onion rings, corn bread, mashed potatoes, garlic bread -everything and I do mean everything was right on the money!

You can check menu/prices at bigunsbarbq.com.

You! fancy folks out there, this joint ain’t gonna work for you…

Like I said a few seconds ago, Jeff Eats loved Bigun’s!

* America’s Birthday Bash At Bayfront Park.

Your tax dollars are well spent on this one…

Over the years Bayfront Park’s July 4th “events” have been huge winners!

* The Acchords.

A recent e-mail Jeff Eats received.

Jeff,

Planning a 75th birthday party for my husband at our country club in Boca Raton for February, 2016.

We have seen most of the doo wop groups as well as oldies bands in south Florida.

Can you give us the name of a really special group that isn’t one of the south Florida regulars?

We have no problem with a group from out of state.

The way we figure it, you only hit 75 once, so a few extra bucks spent here and there is of no consequence.

Thank you,

Linda Hammerman

Jeff Eats recently caught Long Island based- The Acchords at Madison’s Steak House, 670 Motor Parkway, Hauppauge, New York 11788, (631) 231-6909 and I gotta tell you, definitely one of the best oldies groups that I’ve seen in a very-very long time. The group ‘s 50’s-60’s-70’s track show featured fabulous leads and tight harmonies on the hits of groups -such as The Four Seasons, The Duprees, The Jive Five, The Righteous Brothers, The Dubs, The Earls, The Skyliners and The Drifters.

I’m thinking, that The Acchords (who normally don’t play South Florida) would be absolutely perfect for you guys. I’m also thinking that this group would be a homerun- for a ton of restaurants, festivals, country clubs, events down here in South Florida…so all you social directors and booking agents- checkout The Acchords at theacchords.com.

Hope this helps you out and wish your husband a happy birthday from Jeff Eats!

Latest Review; 9/15/13

July 4th- is right around the corner…

To be perfectly honest with you guys, Jeff Eats can’t think (actually I can, but play along with me!) of another joint-that so-symbolizes what America is all-about like Schnapper’s Hots does. No fooling, I absolutely love this joint!

Printed down below is Jeff Eats’ 9/15/13 “review”…

Trust me, Schnapper’s Hots is an absolute must try.

***** Schnapper’s Hots, 1528 Periwinkle Way, Sanibel, Florida 33957, (239) 472-8686.

Schnapper’s Hots…fast-food “hot dog stand” with limited standing -room eating inside and limited outdoor seating—located in Sanibel.

Short and sweet, Jeff Eats “lives” for joints like Schnapper’s Hots.

Terrific all-beef hot dogs, burgers, wings char-broiled on a gas grill…equally delicious fresh hand-cut french fries, home-made hand breaded onion rings, pizza, fried fish sandwiches, ice cream cones and shakes—and you got a home-run in this boy’s book. Throw in the fact that the joint is located on a street named PERIWINKLE WAY…and you know you gotta try it!

Check menu/photos at www.schnappershotssanibel.com.

Schnapper’s Hots is open Sunday-Thursday 11am-8pm, Friday-Saturday 11am-9pm.
