Just a taste…
The Otis Cadillac and the El Dorados R&B Revue is a 12 piece band that performs Classic R&B, Root Rock N’ Roll and related Blues oriented material. The band performs in a style that emulates the R&B revues of the late 50s and early 60s. It is the goal of each performance to recreate the atmosphere and energy that gave birth to Rock N’ Roll in that era. The band chooses eclectic and diverse material exposing the talents of its band members!
The Revue features the extraordinarily talented female vocal quartet of the Seville Sisters. Under the vocal direction of acclaimed vocal instructor and performer Kat Riggins they provide colorful harmonies, featured solos, dance routines and on-stage banter to compliment the Octogenarian iconic lead vocalist Otis Cadillac.
Don’t look for an overly familiar and nostalgic performance from this group. The seasoned veteran musicians that compose the El Dorados roar through the music and spur Otis and the Seville Sisters to inspired, soulful, performances that are stirring, fresh, fun and guaranteed to get the most jaded bun off its seat.
PERFORMER BIO:
Otis Cadillac, born Otis Lincoln Washington Dec. 8th 1927 in Pecos, Texas to Walter Washington, a blacksmith and loving wife Netta Washington, a Pilates instructor.
Otis showed remarkable talent with multiple musical instruments, including his hauntingly hypnotic singing style. Soon outgrowing the small towns’ inability to nurture his God given talents, at age 15, Otis grabbed a guitar, a harmonica, and with the clothes on his back, headed mistakenly south to Mexico, where he discovered he had been misled at some point as to the popularity of his beloved blues music south of the border. Fate being the harbinger of more fate, it was there he was to meet the love of his life, Penelope Lopez. They were wed Feb. 2nd 1944, and Penelope gave birth to their first child Marc Anthony hours later.
Having saved some money from his job as a tuck & roll specialist at a prominent local upholstery shop, young Otis and his new family headed north to find people of like mind to hear his music. The family settled in Detroit where Otis took a job and discovered the second true love of his life, the Cadillac. Working days at the Cadillac assembly line, and playing music at night, Otis was quickly befriended by blues legend Grapevine Robinson, who nicknamed Otis “Cadillac”, as he would come directly from work to the clubs while still in his work clothes.
Otis stayed in Detroit for the next 49 years and honed his craft at clubs such as Hatties Juke Joint, Marmadukes’, Diddy’s and the Woodward Avenue Waffle House. Otis worked with a great many fine musicians in his time, all of whom sing his praises to this day. This list includes such greats as “Hollywood” Henderson, Donald “Flea Bag” Sutton, “T-bone” Schwartzman, and of course the unforgettable “Primetime” Sanders, whose life was tragically taken, while fleeing law enforcement.
Now retired with time on his hands, a plundered 401K, his beloved wife long estranged, and an ungrateful son who took up harmonica, Otis is fulfilling his unending desire to share his music with the world. Please come out and see an honored American treasure.

“The Otis Cadillac Band sprang to life…..The driving force came from the 3 piece Seville Sisters…Ward was knocked out as this impromptu band roared through classics like Don Gardner’s and Dee Ford’s “I Need Your Lovin’”…Quite eclectic and it came off well without a hitch.” Bob Putignano – Blues Beat Magazine

Got a real good Chinese joint for you guys to check-out, Chung Wah Chinese Restaurant in Miami.
Last week- while driving around Miami looking for a gas station- Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats “discovered” Chung Wah and I gotta tell you, the joint’s food blew us away!
Real simple concept at work here…
Chung Wah is basically a takeout but it does have a couple of tables and a counter (if you insist like Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats did) for eating there!
Chung Wah is located in an Exxon Gas Station’s Express Food Mart, so it’s probably not gonna work for you fancy schmancy guys out there!
Chung Wah menu has the full boat of Brooklyn Jewish American Chinese Food circa 1957-like wonton soup, egg rolls, chicken wings, bbq ribs, sweet & sour chicken, pepper steak, steamed pork dumplings, shrimp with lobster sauce, General Tso’s chicken, roast pork egg foo young, so on and so forth!
Chung Wah’s food is reasonably priced!
Chung Wah’s portions are big!
Chung Wah’s food is absolute dynamite (that’s assuming you like Brooklyn Jewish American Chinese Food circa 1957)!
Let me wrap this tale up for you guys by saying that Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats really enjoyed Chung Wah’s food and the whole gas station-vibe! No question about it, if Chung Wah Chinese Restaurant was closer to our Boca Raton abode, we definitely would be real steady customers.
If you’re into Brooklyn Jewish American Chinese Food circa 1957- I’m telling you- that you gotta give this joint a shot!

A first-generation Italian-American born and raised in Westchester, New York, Anthony Rodia came out of the womb making people laugh. In his 20’s he tried a few open mics, but ultimately took a different career path as a finance manager of a luxury car dealership. In 2019, Rodia returned to comedy and left his day job to become a full-time stand-up comic. He hit the ground running and performed 100 shows in just nine months, and within three years Anthony has gained a massive fan base online and around the country.
In a very short time, Anthony gained over 900,000 social media followers and his YouTube videos have amassed over 22 million views. Rodia’s comedy pulls from his real life and razor-sharp observations on marriage, parenthood, road rage, and everything else worthy of a social media rant.
With the onset of quarantine, Anthony made the most of a captive audience, delivering a staggering 86 weekly videos. “ROAD RAGE WEDNESDAY” became a fan favorite, but his Uncle Vinny and Zia Lucia characters transformed into a phenomenon. They are the crazy uncle and aunt you love but can’t be out in public with, who speak their minds (whether you asked for it or not).
Rodia also host the weekly podcast, Little Bit of Laughs on Podcast One. Get to know the comedian behind your favorite viral videos and stand-up comedy alongside his co-host and radio legend Goumba Johnny. Join Anthony and Goumba as they get into hot topics, rants, pranks, and listener’s questions and stories.
Anthony has appeared on Elvis Duran and the Morning Show, FOX’s Good Day New York, and Elizabeth & Elisa on News 12, he quietly claimed the throne of “KING OF OFF THE BOAT COMEDY.”
Rodia is currently selling out comedy clubs and theaters across the country on his Totally Relatable Tour.
Got a real good sub joint for you guys to check-out, Albelo’s Sub Shop in Ocala.
Real simple tale to tell, yesterday afternoon Jeff Eats and three business associates ate lunch at Albelo’s Sub Shop and its food absolutely killed! Inside table seating, order-pickup at counter, reasonably priced hot & cold subs/ salads/ quesadillas/ specialty fries/ desserts menu.
Just between you guys and me, Albelo’s Sub Shop is playing at a whole-other level than most of Florida’s sub joints. Personally, I’d rank it as one of the best that I’ve been to!
Let’s wrap-up Albelo’s Sub Shop by saying that the joint is an absolute must try, that you can check menu/prices/info at ALBELOSSUBS@GMAIL.COM and that it is open Monday-Saturday 10:30am-3:30pm/ closed Sunday.
My name is Jeff. I was born and bred in Brooklyn, New York. Since 1991, I have lived in South Florida and have eaten in so many restaurants down here, that I now consider myself to be a food expert.
