Action Jackson - Matt's Meals

Matt regularly appears with Jordan Rich on “Connoisseur’s Corner” which airs on WBZ (http://boston.cbslocal.com) weekdays at 11:55 AM.

The following is a “script” for one of Matt’s forthcoming segments:

I love food, I love music and, as a boxing instructor and Rocky fan, I love Carl Weathers.

Follow me here, Jordan!

After appearing as the iconic Apollo Creed in the Rocky films, Weathers made a film in 1988 called Action Jackson.

So how full circle-y was I feeling when I found that there is a company that puts jukeboxes (music) in restaurants (food) that is called Action Jackson?

Based in Malden, Action Jackson has been bringing tunes and food together throughout New England since 1961. They not only handle jukeboxes; they also offer ATMs, pinball and video games, pool tables and air hockey, photo booths, and even a test-your-strength punching bag that again appeals to my passion for pugilism. Many of the restaurants I have reviewed over the years (including Fuddruckers, JJ Foleys, Texas Roadhouse, Pizzeria Uno, and many more) use them and I recommend them to anyone listening who has an interest in adding such services to their venues.
