***** Gary Woo Express, 9874 Yamato Road, Boca Raton, Florida 33434, (561) 483-8889.

Got an absolutely terrific Chinese-takeout joint for you…Gary Woo Express in Boca Raton.

Just so you know, Jeff Eats originally “reviewed” this joint on August 19, 2009…suffice it to say, I loved its food back in 2009. Anyway, about 8 months ago new owners took over and to their credit, the food they are “banging-out” is even better than the original stuff. Trust me on this one, Gary Woo Express is right up there with the best Chinese restaurants that Jeff Eats has tried down here in South Florida.

When you check menu/prices at www.garywooexpress.com- in addition to loads of Chinese stuff you will find a huge Japanese menu. For the record, Jeff Eats, didn’t try any of the Japanese items, but if the Japanese food is as good as the Chinese stuff was—Gary Woo Express will be a joint where you can get both-delicious Chinese and Japanese takeout. Just so you know, Gary Woo Express has a couple of tables inside and a handful outside—but this joint is basically a takeout.

Applying Jeff Eats’ 1950’s Brooklyn Jewish Taste Test…sampled items included— won ton soup, tomato egg drop soup, egg rolls, pan fried pork dumplings, bbq ribs, general tso’s chicken, sweet & sour pork, pepper steak, shrimp in lobster sauce, chicken lo mein, roast pork fried rice. The result…Gary Woo Express is one of the best Chinese-takeoout joints that Jeff Eats has tried down here in South Florida. No kidding around, every item “tried” was delicious. To be perfectly honest with you, Jeff Eats’ original plan was to put the “dishes” in some sort of pecking order- but they were all dynamite–so I’ didn’t bother. For you wise-guys out there, No!–Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats didn’t eat “all” that food all by ourselves in one sitting…The fact of the matter, the taste test was conducted in 2-parts…some of the food was picked-up on a Thursday night and some was picked up on Saturday night—so there!

If I got one bitch here, I found the prices a drop- on the high side. No big deal–no second job needed…but the prices were definitely higher than the local competition.

Before I run…if you decide to try Gary Woo Express–when you get to the joint, you’ll find a “menu-rack” outside the front door. The takeout menus in the rack–have coupons and you can use them “right away”— Now that I’m thinking, the coupon that I used saved me 10% off my entire order. The point of all this yapping—use the coupons to off-set the higher-prices I detected.

Gary Woo Express was a “huge” find.

I am telling you, this joint is right up there with best of breed.

Gary Woo Express is open Monday-Friday 11am-10pm and Saturday-Sunday 2pm-10pm.

Got a real good grilled subs/ chicken tenders/ gyros/ burgers/ salads fast food joint that you guys gotta check-out, North South Grill in Pembroke Pines.

Real simple tale to tell, yesterday afternoon Jeff Eats, Mrs. Jeff Eats and our friends Lynne and Norman “discovered” North South Grill and its food totally blew us away! Order at counter-food delivered to table, table seating, reasonably priced menu of subs/ burgers/ sandwiches/ gyros/ salads/ chicken tenders/ sides.

Just so you guys know, when I see “eclectic” fast food menus like North South Grill’s- the old saying “Jack of all trades, master of none” – always pops into my head!

Anyway, like I said 5 seconds ago, the joint’s food totally blew us away!

Let’s wrap North South Grill up by saying that you guys can check menu/prices/info at northsouthgrill.com, that the joint is open Monday-Thursday 11am-10pm/ Friday-Saturday 11am-11pm/ Sunday noon-10pm and that if the joint was a drop closer to Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats’ Boca Raton abode- we would be real steady customers!

Just a taste…

This impromptu performance was recorded a few years ago at Kings Point Golf & Country Club in Delray Beach as Michael D’Amore walked out of the venue’s theater to greet the crowd in the lobby!

From bocablackbox.com:

Singer and songwriter Michael D’Amore was born in upstate N.Y. and raised and resided in New Jersey for most of his life. Coming from a musical family, it wasn’t a surprise that his passion would eventually become his livelihood.

For 35 years, Michael has been a professional entertainer hailing from The New York metropolitan area. Michael’s performances cover several genres with special attention devoted to harmony, which is one of his passions.

Michael currently performs as a one man show showcasing the very best of the 60’s, 70’s, 80’s and more. He is also a member of The Capris and proud to sing lead on the their hits “There’s A Moon Out Tonight” and “Morse Code Of Love” for music fans around the world. In his career, he has had the pleasure of being part of JT Carter’s Crests, (JT is the original Bass vocalist and founding member of The Crests) a Blue-Eyed soul show partnering him with Blues Hall of Famer Angel Rissoff and proud to have played keyboards and sing behind Jim Yester, original and founding member of The Association. Most recently Michael was featured on the PBS special Doo Wop Pop and Soul produced by TJ Lubinsky.

In recent years he has opened for and shared the stage with groups such as The Stylistics, Lou Christie, John Cafferty, The Loving Spoonful, Tony Orlando, Kenny Vance and the Planotones and so many groups he has admired over the years.

In 2012, his CD “In Harmony” was met with great success. “This is a labor of love and such a great source of pride.” In Harmony was special because Michael played and sang every part on this CD which was something he always wanted to do. In 2017 he completed his “My Favorite Melody” album in honor of his daughter which is still available today and an expected My Favorite Melody Vol II to be released soon. Most recently Michael was awarded the 2021 Top-Ten award for best New Country Song for his composition “Substituted Reality.”

Michael continues to strive for perfection in his craft and will always measure his level of success by the number of smiles in his audiences.

Miss Vickie’s Kettle Cooked Potato Chips ((Walmart Supercenter- Delray Beach)

Posted on June 25th, 2025 · American Delray Beach Fast Food · 1 Comment »

***** Miss Vickie’s Kettle Cooked Potato Chips.

Real simple tale to tell you guys, last week on a Delta flight from Laguardia to Fort Lauderdale one of its “snacks” was a small bag (1.375oz) of Miss Vickie’s Kettle Cooked Potato Chips. Prior to this flight, Jeff Eats had never heard of Miss Vickie’s Kettle Cooked Potato Chips! Suffice it to say, totally awesome!

Anyway, yesterday afternoon I picked up the below pictured 8oz bag- $3.98 at the Walmart Supercenter, 16205 South Military Trail, Delray Beach, Florida 33484, (561) 495-8127 and I am telling you guys- these potato chips are an absolute must try!


Now you guys know and Jeff Eats knows that this “reviewing” gig is purely a subjective call- with that in mind, I am telling you, I know my potato chips and these are dynamite!
