Just in case you guys forgot, today is National Hamburger Day!

There are some real nice- deals, discounts and freebies out there!

From nationaltoday.com:

Every May 28, National Hamburger Day celebrates America’s most iconic food. Americans eat over 50 billion burgers a year, so it’s only fitting we set aside a whole day for these special sandwiches. Originating in Hamburg, Germany, the hamburger as we know it was developed in Seymour, Wisconsin, a town still famous for its hamburger heroics.

WHEN IS NATIONAL HAMBURGER DAY 2023?

The beloved hamburger gets its own day on National Hamburger Day on May 28.

HISTORY OF NATIONAL HAMBURGER DAY

Ah yes, the hamburger. A baked bun, beef patty, mustard, ketchup, onion, pickles, with optional cheese. Convenient, cheap, and delicious, the world-famous burger has a storied and uncertain history. No one is quite sure about the origins of the hamburger, other than that it is eponymously named for the town of Hamburg in Germany.

People have been eating cooked meat on bread for centuries, but the association with Hamburg seems to stem from a 1758 recipe for a dish called the “Hamburg Sausage.” Others think the name originates from a cruise company known as the Hamburg America Line, which served its passengers similar sandwiches in the Mid-1800s. To this day, there is little agreement over who actually created the iconic food.

Numerous deli and diner owners across the United States claim that their joint is responsible for inventing the burger. However, there seems to be some consensus amongst historians that the food as we know it today truly gained popularity at the 1904 World’s Fair in St. Louis, an event that also gave us the ice-cream cone. However it happened, the hamburger has grown to be one of the world’s most widely consumed food items, found on menus from Texas to Thailand. They can be had for a dollar apiece or made from gourmet ingredients that cost hundreds. However you decide to chow down, this day is for you. Fire up the grill, gather round your friends, and cook up some delicious burgers.

Tavola Pizza’s food is off the chart delicious.

***** Tavola Pizza, 1684 Port Saint Lucie Boulevard, Port Saint Lucie, Florida 34952, (772) 335-0344.

Got a real good “mom & pop” red sauce Italian joint for you…Tavola Pizza in Port Saint Lucie.

Real simple menu–handful of appetizers, salads, wraps, subs calzones/strombolis, pizzas, desserts.

When you check www.tavolapizza.com you’ll notice no pastas/entrees.

Jeff Eats recently gave Tavola a shot and I gotta tell you that they make a delicious New York Style pizza (real-nice sweet sauce/thin crust)-a large 16″ runs 12 bucks.

With the pizza out of the way, let me tell you about Tavola’s garlic knots…AMAZING–trust Jeff Eats here, the garlic knots (listed as an appetizer) rolled with fresh mozzarella/parmesan/garlic) are as I said 1- second ago, AMAZING…I have never eaten garlic knots so delicious in my life, and trust me, Jeff Eats has eaten his fair share of garlic knots. The knots go for $.75 a piece–6 for $4.

Jeff Eats also “forced” himself to try Tavola’s meatball parmigiana sub ($9)–on its menu Tavola calls the sandwich a grinder-so don’tcha get confused by the verbiage. Like the pizza and garlic knots- the sub (I mean grinder) was delicious- freshly baked roll/pizza sauce/very tasty meatballs.

Jeff Eats loved Tavola Pizza.

One final thought, “a” Tavola Pizza near a college/university would be a money printing press. I can only imagine the damage I would have done to myself back in my Ithaca College days.

Tavola Pizza is open, Monday 4pm-9pm, Tuesday-Thursday 11:30am-9pm, Friday 11:30am-10pm, Saturday noon-10pm, Sunday noon-9pm.

***** Ah-Beetz New Haven Pizza, 15200 South Jog Road, Unit A3, Delray Beach, Florida 33446, (561) 908-2466.

Got an absolutely dynamite coal fired pizza joint for you guys to checkout, Ah-Beetz New Haven Pizza in Delray Beach.

Real simple tale to tell, last week Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats “discovered” (1 eat-in/ 1- takeout) Ah-Beetz New Haven Pizza (which opened something like 3 months ago) and its food totally- blew us away! The no-frills joint has 2- tables (for 4) inside and a handful of tables outside. Reasonably priced pizzas/ calzones/ salads/ wings menu.

Now, you guys know, or should know by know- that this food reviewing “gig” is purely a subjective call…what I like, you may hate and vice versa!

With that in mind, I gotta tell you that the coal oven-pizzas/ calzone/ chicken wings, salads that we ordered- rank right-up there with the best that we’ve eaten here in Florida!

Trust Jeff Eats when I tell you, Ah-Beetz New Haven Pizza is an absolute must try joint!

You guys can check menu/prices/info at ah-beetz.com.

Ah-Beetz New Haven Pizza is open Tuesday-Saturday 11am-9pm/ Sunday 1pm-8pm, closed on Monday.

* Humor!

A health center with a pool and exercise room opened in a small town. A week later, the Mayor’s Office received a letter from one of the center’s neighbors complaining that the center and especially its changing rooms were an affront to public decency!

The letter in part read, “I can’t look out of my windows without getting an eye full of naked women, such depravity, think of the children.”

A police officer was dispatched to the complaining man’s house to investigate. Absolutely nothing could be seen from his windows as the windows of the changing rooms were not just frosted, but painted black leaving maybe a couple of inches on top. When the officer pointed this out the man indignantly replied “just climb the bookcase and hold on to the ceiling fan.”
