* Three Dog Night.

One of Rock N Roll’s all-time great bands, Three Dog Night has 5- March, 2015 Florida dates… and Jeff Eats is telling you that the band is as good today as it was during its 1969-1975 “run” which netted something like 25 Billboard Top 40 Hits…

Jeff Eats doesn’t really have time to go into a ton of-detail…Three Dog Night started out with 3-lead singers, Danny Hutton, Cory Wells and Chuck Negron. A number of years ago, Hutton and Wells had a falling out with Negron-who left the group. Today’s Three Dog Night has Hutton and Wells -with Negron currently doing a terrific solo act-on the Oldies’ circuit.

Trust Jeff Eats, today’s Three Dog Night is awesome.

If this type of music is your bag, go see them…I promise you that you won’t be disappointed! The group will blow you away!

***** The Pastrami Club. 5240 North University Drive, Lauderhill, Florida 33351, (954) 748-0001.

Here’s another “out of sight out of mind” joint for you…The Pastrami Club in Lauderhill.

Not gonna name names, but The Pastrami Club is one of but-a small handful of South Florida joints that come even close to being a New York Kosher Style Deli…

If you live in Pastrami Club’s neighborhood (which Jeff Eats doesn’t)- you now know where you can catch a good-deli fix! For reference, yesterday afternoon- a corned beef on rye/pastrami on rye/french fries/Dr. Brown’s cream soda- perfectly hit the spot! By the way, I would’a got a potato knish, but I’m on a diet-and while I’m on the subject of corned beef, you need some fat in the meat for taste, you guys who order lean/or extra lean are just eating sandpaper!

Printed down below is Jeff Eats’-May 3, 2008 “review” for The Pastrami Club…

***** The Pastrami Club
5240 North University Drive
Lauderhill, Florida 33351
(954) 748-0001

The Pastrami Club is open 7 days a week for lunch and dinner. The Pastrami Club (which has been around since 1985), is one of the “best” New York “Kosher Style Delis” in South Florida. Over the years I have “fressed” on this joint’s pastrami, corned beef, turkey (off the frame) and brisket sandwiches and loved each and every bite.

Cardiologists tell you to stay away from joints like this… last week I saw mine stuffing his face with a fatty corned beef on rye with a potato knish. “Do as I say, don’t do as I do.”

I am telling you, that you “gotta” try this joint. The combination of great food and “old” deli decor (red booths and formica tables), will remind you of what delis are “suppose to be all about.”

Check-out this joint’s website at www.pastramiclub.com for menu/prices.

End of story.

* The Israelis Are Gonna Handle This Anyway!

Read the below story in the Washington Free Beacon.

None of this matters anyway…because The Israelis Are Gonna Handle This Anyway!

While Jeff Eats is on the subject of Islamic Terrorism…you guys ever see that movie The Manchurian Candidate?

I’ll have a real good joint for you guys to checkout tomorrow!

Top Iranian nuke negotiator ordered to stop screaming at Kerry
By Adam Kredo
·Published February 19, 2015·
Washington Free Beacon

Iran’s foreign minister and lead negotiator in nuclear talks with the United States has been ordered by the Islamic Republic’s Supreme Leader to stop shouting and yelling at Secretary of State John Kerry during negotiating sessions.

Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif told his country’s state controlled media in a recent interview that Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has instructed him to stop yelling at Kerry and other top U.S. officials during the talks.

Reports about Zarif’s temper first emerged in the Iranian press last November, when the United States and Iran agreed to extend talks through June of this year.

Zarif is said to “frequently shout at Western diplomats” with such force that bodyguards have been forced to enter the negotiation room.

During one incident described by Iranian officials to the press, European Union Foreign Policy Chief Catherine Ashton, a chief western negotiator, admitted that Zarif had been shouting, and she had gotten used to it.

Abbas Araqchi, an Iranian diplomat who is also a member of the negotiating team, is reported to have said in an interview that during past negotiations in Geneva, Zarif “shouted” at Kerry and spoke to him in a manner “unprecedented” in the history of U.S. diplomacy.

Zarif appeared to cop to this behavior during a recent interview with the state-controlled Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA), according to an independent translation of the report provided to the Washington Free Beacon

***** Kristof’s Kafe.

Jeff Eats recently “got” the following e-mail…

Thanks,

Try Kristof’s Kafe.

Kristof’s Kafe (Davie)

Posted on November 11th, 2013 · American Breakfast Davie
***** Kristof’s Kafe, 8912 West State Road 84, Davie, Florida 33324, (954) 475-8977.

Let Jeff Eats start by saying that Kristof’s Kafe is my kinda joint…a “mom & pop” diner–that serves terrific food, has super pleasant service/big portions and reasonable prices.

You can check menu/prices/photos at www.kristofskafe.com.

Jeff Eats recently tried Kristof’s for breakfast and I gotta tell you, that the- banana caramel french toast, western omelette, cinnamon challah french toast, country fried steak “sampled” were absolutely dynamite. No ifs or buts–this was one of the best breakfasts I’ve had in a very long time… Just so we are straight, I “did” breakfast—so how Kristof’s lunch/dinner stuff is-is open to conjecture—based on breakfast, I’d bet that those meals are real-strong. While I’m pontificating here, you guys do know, that Jeff Eats has never met a bagel, bialy, french toast or omelette that he didn’t like–but like everything in life-there are degrees…you got your IHOPs and then you got your Kristof’s-like I said, a matter of degrees. By the way-I take back that claim to having never met an omelette I didn’t like…check Jeff Eats 9/26/10 “story” on Cup ‘N Saucer in Lake Worth…Mrs. Jeff Eats says, I got a memory like an elephant (we’ll leave it at that).

Anyway…

Jeff Eats really enjoyed Kristof’s Kafe.

Kristof’s Kafe is open Sunday-Wednesday 8am-3pm, Thursday-Saturday 8am-9pm…breakfast served Monday-Saturday 8am-noon, Sunday all day.
