***** Brooklyn Dough With A Hole, 935 3rd Avenue North, Naples, Florida 34102, (239) 231-3159.

Got a real good bagel joint for you guys to check-out, Brooklyn Dough With A Hole in Naples.

Real simple tale to tell, yesterday- Jeff Eats, Mrs. Jeff Eats, Daughter Jeff Eats and Son Jeff Eats “discovered” Brooklyn Dough With A Hole and we all-agreed that its food killed! Order/pickup at counter, indoor table seating/ small handful of outdoor tables, reasonably priced 20+ bagel selection/ cream cheeses/ spreads/ salads/ meats/ toppings/ breakfast bagel sandwiches/ hot & cold bagel sandwiches/ coffee menu.

You guys know or should know by now, that this food reviewing “gig” is purely a subjective call- You know, what I like, you may hate and vice versa! With that in mind, I am telling you, that Brooklyn Dough With A Hole’s in-house hand rolled/kettle boiled/baked bagels rank right up there with the best- that I’ve had here= in Florida!

Brooklyn Bagel With A Hole is open Tuesday-Friday 6:30am-12:30pm/ Saturday-Sunday 6:30am-noon, closed Monday.

* Humor!

A burglar breaks into a home and holds the husband and wife hostage.

He forces the two to sit on chairs and ties them to the chairs.

The burglar slowly and methodically begins robbing the house.

The burglar has taken everything of value and is ready to leave while the homeowners are still bound to their chairs.

Suddenly, the man yells at the burglar,

“Please untie her, please, let her go!”

“No, I’m not untying either of you so that the authorities get notified as late as possible,” says the criminal.

“Don’t worry, your neighbors will soon wonder why your lights are still on throughout the night and check in with you.”

Yet the man again pleads,

“Please, just untie her, I’ll do anything!”

“Look, I need to get away with this crime, I’m sorry, I can’t leave anything up to chance.” says the burglar, feeling a little ashamed of himself.

“I’m begging you man, just let her go, she won’t call the cops, I promise!” the man is now crying.

The burglar, still unwilling to budge, does find it quite touching how much his hostage cared about his wife.

“Wow,” he says

“You must really love your wife to beg me to untie her so desperately.”

“Not really,”

The man replies in a state of frenzy,

“It’s just that she will be home in 15 minutes.”

***** Rainbow Palace, 2787 Oakland Park Boulevard, Fort Lauderdale, Florida 33306, (954) 565-5652.

House of Chan, if you like, you can go and “look” it up.

Suffice it to say, in the 1950s-1960s-1970s, the House of Chan located at 52nd Street and 7th Avenue, NYC- was one of America’s most famous upscale Chinese restaurants.

Old history (isn’t all history old?), Jeff Eats’ father had a “business” house account, so Jeff Eats, his brother, father and mother–enjoyed a number of meals at the House of Chan.

The House of Chan had fabulous food. The House of Chan had superb service. The House of Chan had a fabulous management team. The House of Chan had “style.”

No question in my mind, those House of Chan outings-shaped Jeff Eats’ thoughts on what upscale-dining is “suppose” to be.

Long story short,

The Rainbow Palace has fabulous food. The Rainbow Palace has superb service. The Rainbow Palace has a top shelf management team. The Rainbow Palace has “style.”

If you want TOP NOTCH CHINESE FOOD, TOP NOTCH UPSCALE SERVICE, A RESTAURANT WITH STYLE then get yourself over to the Rainbow Palace in Fort Lauderdale.

For those of you wondering as to what Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats “had”-house wonton soup, crispy steak, sesame chicken, chef’s fried rice.

For what it’s worth,

Both Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats found the food off the chart-but please keep in mind that you and us-Eats may-be polar opposites- on what constitutes good-great-lousy etc. That’s why Jeff Eats and you should never bet the farm on what some “critic” has to say about any particular restaurant or dish.

Anyway,

Jeff Eats thought the food was terrific…

By the way, Rainbow’s prices aren’t exactly cheap. Just a word to the wise, the joint’s portions are large- so figure on sharing stuff- and don’t over order,

You can check menu/prices at www.rainbowpalace.com

Rainbow Palace is open Sunday-Wednesday 5pm-10pm, Thursday noon-3pm & 5pm-10pm, Friday noon-3pm & 5pm-11pm, Saturday 5pm-11pm.

One final thought on this “food reviewing” thing…

How many times have you asked a total stranger who was leaving a movie theatre “What he or she thought about a picture?” See where Jeff Eats is going with this? As my Uncle Sam Ting (by marriage to my father’s sister) use to say…

The Casino @ Dania Beach

Tickets: casinodaniabeach.com ($30-$67.50)

From casinodaniabeach.com:

The Tapestry show recreates the sound and vibe of a 1970’s Carole King concert experience following her legendary album, Tapestry. You will be transported back to the iconic time of her multiple Grammy winning album of 1971. The concert will also bring to life many hits from the Broadway musical smash, “Beautiful”.

The show also features many songs that Carole King and her husband, Gerry Goffin, wrote in the 60’s. They proved to be one of the most successful song writing teams in pop music history, composing more than 400 songs recorded by 1,000 artists. These artists include: The Drifters, The Beatles, Hermans Hermits, Donnie Osmond, Aretha Franklin, The Shirelles and the list goes on.

Impeccable attention to detail is taken in recreating a respectful and accurate full musical presentation with full band, completely live. Suzanne’s performance takes you on a journey back to those great recordings with stories about the music, history of Carole King’s incredible career and a fun sing-a-long, interactive performance.
