An Englishman, taking a road trip through the US, notices he’s low on fuel, pulls into the first gas station he sees. The attendant walks out and approaches the car.
“How can I help you, sir?”
And in a posh voice, the man says, “I’m low on petrol; please top off the tank.”
With an odd look, the guy begins to fill ’er up.
The Englishman then says, “Also, while I’m here could you open the bonnet and check the oil?”
Now looking slightly peeved but still saying nothing, the serviceman does as requested.
“Oh, yes,” says the Brit, “It appears my windscreen needs a good cleaning. Would you mind terribly-”
Unable to hold his tongue any more the attendant angrily snaps, “Alright, that’s enough! It’s not Petrol, it’s gasoline! It’s not a bonnet, it’s a hood! And it’s not a windscreen, it’s a windshield! We invented cars, so you call them by their American names!”
And with that wonderful, charming, stiff-upper-lip UK wit, the Englishman calmly replies, “Well yes, my friend, you may have invented the automobile, but we invented the language!”

Trust Jeff Eats on this one, dynamite pork fried dumplings!
If you guys can keep a secret, this week’s DISH OF THE WEEK “shout-out” was a toss-up between the joint’s Pork Fried Dumplings and its BBQ Spare Ribs ($12.95- 6 ribs).
I’ll give you guys 2 guesses which one I went with and the first guess doesn’t count!
By the way, Kingsburg’s bbq spare ribs are absolutely awesome!

A recent e-mail received by Jeff Eats…
Jeff,
My husband and I just moved into _________________ a 55+ community in Boynton Beach. We are originally from Brooklyn and we are looking for a really good Chinese Restaurant not too far of a drive from our new home. Can you give us a good one? Thanks, MKA
MKA,
Got a real good “one” for you and depending on how fast you drive, at the most it’s 10 minutes away from your community.
Welcome to Florida and thanks for reading,
Jeff Eats

Got a real good Chinese joint for you…Kingsburg Asian Cuisine in Boynton Beach. Don’t let the “Asian Cuisine” in the joint’s name throw you off, Kingsburg is a Chinese restaurant- with a pretty good handful of Korean, Vietnamese and Thai dishes thrown into the menu-mix!
The other night, Jeff Eats, Mrs. Jeff Eats and another couple ate dinner at Kingsburg…not exactly sure as to how long Kingsburg been around- but when I squinted (no insult or pun intended) my eyes, I’m thinking that I could have been sitting in a Brooklyn Chinese Restaurant in 1957…loads of booths, big round tables for about 100!
Dishes ordered:
Wonton Soup
Hot & Sour Soup
Fried Pork Dumplings
BBQ Spare Ribs
Egg Rolls
Roast Pork Fried Rice
General Tso’s Chicken
Shrimp With Lobster Sauce
Mu Shu Pork
Shrimp Lo Mein
Pepper Steak
…and I gotta tell you, everything was right on the money! Now I could- break things down for you, by telling you that Jeff Eats has had better Egg Rolls and Pepper Steak…and that I really enjoyed the General Tso’s Chicken and Shrimp Lo Mein- but you guys know that this food-reviewing business is purely a subjective game, what I like, you may hate and vice versa!-so let’s leave it at, I would definitely eat at Kingsburg again- because all four of us (in case you forgot- Jeff Eats, Mrs. Jeff Eats and another couple)-all agreed that the food worked, the prices were reasonable, the portions were huge, the service was pleasant and the décor when we squinted our eyes (no pun or insult intended) made us feel like we were back in a Brooklyn Chinese restaurant in 1957!
You can check menu/prices at kingsurgfl.com.
Kingsburg Asian Cuisine is open Monday-Saturday 11am-10pm, Sunday 11am-9:30pm (I guess “they” want to get home in time to watch The Good Wife).

Experience a flashback to the songs that were… the soundtrack of your lives. Younger listeners appreciate the energy and power of the iconic songs that made the Rolling Stones a lasting force in popular music.

Possessing a similar energy to the Rolling Stones’ phenomenal live sound, capturing the power and excitement of those now legendary stadium tours with all the big hits and a wide selection of rarities sure to please casual and hard core Stones fans alike

***** Galuppi’s, 1103 N. Federal Highway, Pompano Beach, Florida 33062 (954) 785-0226.
Last night, I had an absolutely terrific time at a joint named Galuppi’s in Pompano Beach. Just so you know, Galuppi’s which calls itself “Galuppi’s Restaurant, Patio Bar & Banquets” is actually located on the public Pompano Beach Golf Course… the view from its out-door patio of the course is absolutely amazing.
Galuppi’s is basically a restaurant/catering facility. There is a small indoor restaurant that has a large sit-at-bar, 4 booths and maybe a half-dozen hi-tops…outside, there is another sit-at-bar and loads of tables…there is also a banquet room attached to the restaurant that can be used for private parties or for restaurant customers. Now, to put this whole layout in perspective…go to Galuppi’s website at www.galuppis.com where you will find actual pictures of what I have been blabbing about, along with menu/prices/and other details.
Last night, Galuppi’s which does lunch and dinner 7 days a week and brunch on Sunday had The Beatles’ tribute band “Anthology” performing from 8pm-midnight. Suffice it to say, this joint was absolutely packed… the restaurant-the banquet room-the outside bar/patio…the band was on a small stage on the patio and I’ll bet you that from 8:30pm-10:30 pm (time I was there) there were at least 500-600 people maybe even more, eating…drinking…dancing. I am telling you, it was an absolutely great “party.” By the way, there was no cover charge or minimum…so for the price of a meal or a drink…or for that matter, just walking in…got you into this “concert.”
Just a quick note, “Anthology” was terrific. They were dressed in replicas of The Beatle’s Shea Stadium army-uniforms and had the requisite Beatle haircuts…they did some great covers of The Beatles’ hits. The group is extremely personable and their interaction with the crowd had the joint really jumping. Their faux British accents which came and went all evening long, added to the fun…and yes, they even have a left-handed bass player. You can check “Anthology” out at www.myspace.com/fab4anthology. I guarantee that based on last night’s action, Galuppi’s owners will have “Anthology” back for another gig in the very near future.
I already gave you this joint’s website…take a look at its menu. There are plenty of appetizers, salads, burgers, sandwiches, entrees and desserts to keep everyone busy…By the way, the prices are very reasonable and last night our waitress Bobbi-Lynn was absolutely terrific despite the fact that the joint was absolutely packed (and I do mean packed). Last night I had babyback ribs, I also sampled the crab-cakes, snapper francaise and steak kabobs. The food is real-decent. Personally I would put it about “1-notch” above the stuff you get in your typical neighborhood sports bar. Just so you know, Galuppi’s also has tons of flat screen tv sets inside and outside…Last night every set was tuned to the Olympic Games, so if “The Beatles” weren’t your game, you could scream for the American swimmers.
One thing that I found interesting…the banquet room has sound-proof glass. Amazingly, while eating in the room, you couldn’t hear the out-door crowd or the band at all.
Galuppi’s is open for lunch and dinner 7 days a week and for brunch on Sunday. According to its website, the joint has all kinds of entertainment and “specials”…so If you want to try Galuppi’s, I would suggest that you ”call ahead” to find out “what’s on tap” (pun intended).
