Bon bon-shaking music superstar Ricky Martin has been singing for massive audiences since the 1980s, when he was a member of the Puerto Rican boy band Menudo. Since then, the Grammy Award winner has scored No. 1 hits with songs like “Livin’ La Vida Loca,” “She Bangs” and “Cup of Life” (the World Cup theme song that topped charts in over 70 countries). After a busy last few years — during which he served as a judge on The Voice Australia and The Voice Mexico, and released his 10th solo album, A Quien Quiera Escuchar — Martin is embarking on another world tour. See the humanitarian, author, actor and businessman at the American Airlines Arena, where he will sing everything from romantic ballads to the vibrant pop songs that first made him famous.

***** Mulberry 1965, 56 Northwest 59th Street, Miami, Florida 33127, (305) 878-0088.

Mulberry 1965 is a food truck…that makes absolutely dynamite Neapolitan wood fired brick oven pizza that run 9-12 bucks a piece.

From what Jeff Eats under stands- Mulberry 1965 “camps” at 56 Northwest 59th Street, Miami 7 days a week- 11am-3pm… after 3pm the truck can be found at various locations/parties/events throughout South Florida.

Real simple menu- something like 10 different pizzas, handful of toppings and a bunch of specials on the weekend.

You can check menu/prices/locations/info at mulberry1965.com.

The other day Jeff Eats “had” a Margherita Pizza (Tomato Sauce, Fresh Mozzarella, Pecorino Romano, Organic Basil, E.V.O.O.) and a Quattro Formaggi Pizza (Fresh Mozzarella, Organic Basil Gorgonzola, Pecorino Romano, Ricotta, Garlic, E.V.O.O. ( No Sauce )) and I gotta tell you, the pizzas absolutely blew me away. In all honesty, I wasn’t expecting top-notch quality stuff like this- from a food truck…Trust Jeff Eats when I tell you, the pizzas were as good, if not better than the ones served up by most of South Florida’s full-blown wood fired brick oven joints!

Jeff Eats absolutely loved Mulberry 1065!

Latest Review: 12/2/11

Just between you guys and Jeff Eats- Chinese takeout joints are a dime a dozen down here in South Florida. Trust me, I’ve been to plenty of them!

With that in mind, when I come across a really good one, it sticks in my mind- and Kiki’s Asian Bistro is one of the “stickers”!

Real simple story here, absolutely delicious American-Chinese Food- I absolutely love the joint’s General Tso’s Chicken. Just so we are straight, I singled out the General Tso’s Chicken- but literally everything that Kiki’s serves up is right on the money.

If you live or work near Kiki’s- try it!

Jeff,

I’m looking for a good sports bar in Boca Raton where my wife and I can watch the NBA Finals. If it has good food, all the better.
Any ideas?

***** Our Place, 2901 North Federal Highway, Boca Raton, Florida 33431 (561) 750-9745.

Got an “American-style” joint for you…Our Place, in Boca Raton. Now don’t get nervous or nothing…but the joint is located in the Boca Raton Plaza Hotel & Suites. Now, I can just imagine what’s going through your mind…not exactly the Ritz Carlton in Manalapan.

Anyway…Our Place is a good-casual joint. The menu is limited, but there are enough appetizers-burgers-sandwiches-entrees…so nobody is going to go hungry. Take a look at the joint’s website www.ourplaceboca.com for menu/prices/photos–this way, you’ll know what you are getting yourself involved with.

I gave Our Place a shot the other night and I enjoyed it…Real reasonable prices and the bacon cheeseburger– chicken cordon blu sandwich–philly cheese steak sandwich–baby back ribs…were A-Ok… better than the stuff most of the sports bars down here serve.

Absolutely-positively nothing fancy here. Lookup “casual” in Webster’s and this joint’s picture is probably there.

This is my kind of a joint. Good food. Good service. Good prices…and tee shirts and shorts are the dress of the day. The joint also has tv sets and an outdoor tiki-bar…what’s bad!!

Our Place is open 365 days a year 7am-2am. The kitchen closes at midnight.

* Chili’s Grill & Bar.

Jeff Eats just read the below “story” on aol.com.

I’m thinking that a fair monetary “settlement” by Chili’s to each of the customers involved should be $100,000…and that-the waiter should receive a 90 day jail term!

I’ll bet you anything, that if the above “settlement” and “jail sentence” were standard practice- there would be far less spitting going on in America’s restaurants!
________

DNA proves Chili’s waiter spit in customer’s drink

Some of us have suspected a surly waiter spit in our food, now a New York State couple used DNA evidence to prove it. A Syracuse-area couple was not going to stop until they brought a rude waiter to justice. The couple says their waiter, then 24-year-old Gregory Lamica, was visibly annoyed and frustrated one busy night in the restaurant, but it seems the last straw was when they asked for drink refills to go.

When they went to put the cups in their car’s cupholders, the couple says, one of the lids popped off and revealed something gross. The couple told their local news paper in Syracuse: “It wasn’t regular spit either. It was a loogie.” What’s worse is they said they brought the drink with the loogie back to the managers at Chili’s and all he did was issue a refund. So they called the State Troopers to investigate and sure enough the test came back positive for his DNA in the customer’s cup.

The couple plans to sue Lamica and the restaurant for psychological trauma.

***** Madisons New York Grill & Bar-Summer Specials.

Real simple tale to tell…

One of my favorite American-Style joints to eat lunch-dinner at is Madisons New York Grill & Bar in Boca Raton.

Madisons just put out a Summer Specials Menu!

All I can tell you, if you haven’t yet tried Madisons- you now have an additional- “economic” incentive to do so!

Trust Jeff Eats on this one, the joint’s food is delicious…throw in a cool-modern decor, great bar area with tons of flat screen tvs, excellent service, super reasonable prices and you got a winner in my book!

***** Madisons New York Grill & Bar.

Jeff Eats is gonna label Madisons New York Grill & Bar- one of the best American-Style joints in South Florida!

Just had lunch at this American-Style joint and I am telling you that the food-service-prices were all-right on the money!

The full-rack of bbq baby-back ribs (with a baked potato) that I had- was absolutely delicious…Mrs. Jeff Eats’ Caesar salad and cheeseburger/French fries were also delicious.

Jeff Eats first told you guys about Madisons on 1/4/14…somethings bear repeating- so here goes…

_________

January 4, 2014
***** Madisons New York Grill & Bar, 2066 Northwest Executive Center Circle, Boca Raton, Florida 33431, (561) 994-0808.

Last night, Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats and a couple of friends gave “American-Style” Madisons New York Grill & Bar in Boca Raton a shot–and I gotta tell you, the joint literally blew our socks-off. No fooling around here…Madisons food and service were terrific!

Real quick, Madisons is a Canadian based restaurant chain that currently owns/operates 14 restaurants in Quebec, 1 in Boca Raton and has 1- under construction in Pompano Beach. If you think–Houston’s, J. Mark’s and J. Alexander’s you’ll be on the right décor page. The Boca Raton joint opened about 1-week ago, in a completely renovated building that at one time or another housed California Pizza Kitchen, Wolfie Cohen’s Rascal House, Copper Canyon Grill and Stephane’s Steak & Seafood. The restaurant has both indoor/outdoor patio seating and a separate full-bar area with something like 9 flat screen tvs.

As I mentioned 16 seconds ago, Madisons’ food and service were terrific…no ifs or buts, but the guys who own Madisons-know how to run a restaurant. Every dish that hit our table was exactly as ordered, glasses were continuously refreshed by Dave “The” Waiter-and during the evening we were “visited” by GM-Charles, Front Of The House Manager-Juan and Owner-Steve. Just so you know, Jeff Eats’ eagle eye caught- that every table in our section got the exact-same management treatment.

Let’s talk food…

Real simple menu–8 appetizers ($8-17), 6 meal salads ($15-$20), 5 sandwiches/burgers ($14-$18), 12 entrees ($16-$37), handful of salads/sides ($4-$8), handful of desserts ($5-$8).

Our table “had”–Three Cheese Garlic Bread, House Salad, Mykonos Style Greek Salad, Quinoa Caprese Salad, Cheeseburger With French Fries, Crab Cake Sandwich, Baby Back Ribs, Key Lime Pie, Brownie With Vanilla Ice Cream…everything was delicious. Just so you know, the garlic bread appetizer easily fed 4-people, the salads and desserts large enough for 2-people to share.

For you-guys who like more “review detail”…the French fries weren’t as delicious as everything else–but Owner-Steve told me, that fresh-handcut fries would soon be replacing the frozen product being used. I must tell you-that the garlic bread appetizer topped with melted Monterey Jack/cheddar/parmesan cheese was off-the-chart. To be perfectly honest, 2-orders of that garlic bread with a 2-liter bottle of ice-cold Coke and Jeff Eats could do some serious damage to himself…a definite must order.

Look! I could go on and on–as to how the ribs were basted with a delicious sweet bbq sauce, or how the crab cakes were loaded with crab (what else?) with virtually no filler, or how the cheeseburger which came on a lightly toasted bun-was topped with shredded lettuce/tomato slice/pickles spears and a mustard/ketchup/mayo dressing, but I won’t.

At this stage of the game, you may want to check www.madisonsnewyork.com for menu/prices.

The truly amazing thing about Madisons was that the service was impeccable…to be honest with you, Jeff Eats went into this thing-thinking a hiccup or two, afterall it was a brand new joint…but au contraire (hey! I told you that the chain is out of Quebec!)—the food and service couldn’t have been better.

Let me wrap this all up for you,

Madisons is going to be a huge winner. Mark these words–perfect for the business lunch crowd–perfect for the happy hour crowd–perfect for both Boca Raton’s young families and its 55+ crowd.

No question in Jeff Eats’ mind, Madisons can definitely hold its own against local “American Style” players–The Cheesecake Factory, Houston’s and J. Alexander’s.

A cursory “menu-look” found Madisons’ price-points $2-$5 lower than its “next door” neighbor Houston’s…..Hey! I already told you- The guys who own this joint know how to run a restaurant.

One final thought, a little bird told Jeff Eats that Madisons owns the Boca Raton property/building–so, to paraphrase poet Ernest Henley – Madisons is the master of its fate, captain of its soul (I know, I know a bit dramatic).

Madisons is open Monday-Sunday 11am-11pm.
