* Jazziz Nightlife & John Oates.

Just reading how restaurant/nightclub Jazziz–booked John Oates for November 11-12, 2014.

For you guys who don’t know-Oates is the Oates -as in Daryl Hall and John Oates the legendary musical duo.

Nothing for nothing, but booking John Oates is sort of like booking Bud Abbott of Abbott & Costello.

In all seriousness, Hall & Oates–is Darryl Hall…one of the greatest blue-eyed soul singers of all time.

Jazziz- sorry, but not a good move! You bought yourself an-Abbott!

* Just Call Me Zit Face!

Just read the “below” story “Breaking Out? Don’t Eat These Five Foods” at dailyglow.com.

Take a look at the story…based on what I read, Just Call Me Zit Face!

“If you feel like you’ve exhausted all your acne treatment options, it may be time to switch up your diet. “By changing a few foods that you eat, you can hydrate and improve your skin while avoiding breakouts,” says Crystal Wellman, a licensed aesthetician and owner of the Crystal Clear Acne Clinic in Fredericksburg, Virginia.

Here, experts explain why the key to saving your skin might simply be ditching these five pimple-causing foods for a softer, smoother, and clearer complexion.

Salt
Nix sprinkling on additional salt at your next meal for clearer skin. “Too much salt can dehydrate your skin, leading to swelling,” says Wellman. “It makes it more difficult for your skin to heal acne.”
Harold Lancer, MD, a Beverly Hills dermatologist, also tells his patients to request meals be made without salt when eating out for calmer skin.

Foods With a High Glycemic
Your morning Dunkin’ Donuts fix could be to blame for that pimple that seemed to have appeared out of nowhere. Why? Studies have shown that foods with a high glycemic index, like donuts, white bread, and pretzels, can raise your blood sugar levels, making you prone to breakouts. “Elevated blood sugar stimulates your body to pump out insulin, which then triggers a cascade of hormonal effects, including elevated levels of androgens (the acne-causing male hormone), excess oil, and increased skin cell production, all of which lead to clogged pores and breakouts,” says Jessica Wu, MD, a board-certified dermatologist in Los Angeles, in her book “Feed Your Face.”

Shellfish
“Shrimp, crab, and lobster are high in iodine, which leads to clogged pores and acne,” says Wellman. More specifically, the mineral creates irritation within your skin and if you already have clogged or congested pores, it will accelerate the formation of an inflamed pimple in those who are acne-prone.

Dairy
If you’re breaking out on the chin, jawline, and neck, milk may be the cause, says celebrity nutritionist Paula Simpson. “And since milk may aggravate this skin condition, any dairy products containing milk, including cheese, ice cream, and cream sauce, can also lead to acne,” she adds. Studies have shown that eating dairy products can prompt the release of insulin, growth factors, and hormones in the body that may all play a role in acne.
Beware of “hidden” dairy products too, advises Wu. “Processed luncheon meats, for example, are a common source of “surprise” dairy products. So are granola bars,” she says in her book. Just be sure to read your food labels to avoid milk solids.

Alcohol
Happy hour isn’t going to be so happy once you go home to find redness and blemishes marring your complexion. “Alcohol dehydrates your skin, highlighting wrinkles, and preventing your skin from healing,” says Wellman. The boozy habit can also have a negative impact on your vitamin A, B3, and C levels, which are all important antioxidants for your skin and vital to regenerate new cells.
But you don’t have to cut out alcohol cold turkey says, Adam Friedman, MD, director of Dermatologic Research at the Unified Division of Dermatology of Albert”

* Five Guys Burgers and Fries.

Reprinted below is a Jeff Eats’ article which ran on November 2, 2006…at that time Five Guys was an “infant” fast-food burger chain.

Suffice it to say, that in the past 8 years or so–Five Guys has grown into a major player in the US fast food burger arena.

Over the years, Jeff Eats has eaten in “a” Five Guys numerous times…the food and service are consistently good. Prices are very reasonable .

If by chance you’ve never eaten in a Five Guys… check one-out!

Five Guys makes delicious burgers, fries and hot dogs!

***** Five Guys Famous Burgers and Fries
871 Village Boulevard
West Palm Beach, Florida 33409
(561) 640-9555

Let me put this to you as simply as I can…if you like HAMBURGERS & FRENCH FRIES…you absolutely have to try Five Guys Famous Burgers and Fries.

Five Guys is a fast-food chain. The last time I checked, it had 118 units (located predominantly in the northeast USA). Five Guys is planning a “major push” into South Florida, so don’t be shocked to see “one” opening in your neighborhood real soon.

Five Guys makes one of the best fast-food hamburgers that you will ever taste. The same goes for its fries. The same also goes for its hot-dogs. Just so you know, this joint’s menu has burgers, hot-dogs, fries and a grilled cheese sandwich on it “and that’s it.”

I am telling you, that you don’t want to miss this one. For “right now” the only Five Guys in “our” South Florida area is in West Palm Beach. This joint is open 7 days a week, 11am-10pm.

* Sweet Treat Weekend.

Got a real-cool event for you guys–especially you guys who have young kids or grand-kids…

***** Old World Pizza, 15794 Southwest 56th Street, Miami, Florida 33185, (305) 383-7733.

Old World Pizza…basically a takeout joint. It does have a couple of tables inside/outside-but like I just said, basically a takeout joint.

Real simple,

Old World Pizza makes brick oven pizza (slices/pies), salads, hot/cold panini-sandwiches (on piadina bread), handful of desserts.

You can check menu/prices/other stuff at oldworldpizzamiami.com.

Jeff Eats recently “tried” cheese pizza, chicken parm sandwich, Italian sandwich (ham/salami/pepperoni/provolone cheese), grilled chicken Caesar salad…and I gotta tell you, I really enjoyed every-thing.

Just so you know, Old World Pizza isn’t even remotely close to my-home…if this joint was by-my-house, Jeff Eats would definitely be a regular customer. The pizza was just like I like it, thin/crispy/nice sweet sauce and the sandwiches and salads were right on the money.

For you guys who live/work in Old World Pizza’s neighborhood-you got a winner there! By the way, that $5 2-slices/soda deal…is a steal!

Old World Pizza is open Monday-Thursday 11am-10pm, Friday-Saturday 11am-11pm, Sunday noon-9:30pm.

* Remember When Obama Mocked Romney Over Russia!

Like politicians…food reviewers, food critics, food bloggers–get things wrong!

So,

Read the write-ups, but let your own “tastebuds” guide you accordingly.

* Howard Stern–THE FLAG!

Just a thought,

It seems to me-that in every episode of tv’s America’s Got Talent- 2014 that judge Howard Stern wears an American “flag” scarf.

Go figure, I thought that there were “official” rules on how to treat the American flag! Now nothing for nothing, everything that Jeff Eats has ever read or heard about the “flag” has never condoned using the American flag as a piece of clothing. Trust me, I’m no prude and a huge believer in freedom of speech and personal rights- but it just seems to me that the “same” flag (or a very close facsimile) that is draped over the coffins of our soldiers and flown at half-staff to honor the 9/11 dead and wounded-shouldn’t be reduced to a silk scarf wrapped around some tv/radio personality’s neck as a fashion accessory. But that’s just me!

I’d love to know if these “scarfs” are generating negative viewer comments to the network and the show’s sponsors?

What do you guys think?

UPDATE-7/21/14…

I just wanted you guys to know that-Jeff Eats read your comments-to add to the discussion I want you folks to know that I also think that “below” photo is another disgusting (wink! wink!) misuse of the red-white-blue.

***** DISH OF THE WEEK (Sunday- 7/20/14)

One of Jeff Eats’ favorite menu items.

Tim’s Mile High Meatloaf (comes with honey glazed carrots and smashed potatoes)

Latest Review: 2/9/08

Jeff Eats loves a good meatloaf. This is definitely one of the best I’ve ever eaten-and trust me, I’ve eaten a ton of meatloaf in my day!

***** Krystal.

Not going to tell you guys where I just ate lunch.

Try and guess!

Jeff Eats’ Krystal-review-July 29, 2008 may give you some idea…

As close to eating-White Castle as is humanly possible down here in South Florida.

$2.99 well spent!

Posted July 29, 2008
***** Krystal, 901 W. Sample Road, Fort Lauderdale, Florida 33311 (954) 524-9994.

Let me make this write-up short and sweet.

There are no White Castles in South Florida. Krystal is as close to being a White Castle as you will find in South Florida. Krystal is a “national” fast-food hamburger chain which has been around since 1932. White Castle has paper-thin- square shaped-burgers called ” SLYDERS” and Krystal has paper-thin- square shaped burgers called “KRYSTALS.” I like “slyders” better than “krystals”…but it’s a close call. Sort of like Coke and Pepsi.

Like I said before, there is one Krystal joint in South Florida– Fort Lauderdale…there is a whole bunch of them in Orlando. Check Krystal’s website www.krystal.com for menu/locations. The joint in Fort Lauderdale is open 7 days a week from 7am-midnight.
