***** Trader Joe’s Chocolatey Coated Chocolate Chip Dunkers.
Yesterday morning at 10:17am Jeff Eats came across these $4.99 Trader Joe’s Chocolately Coated Chocolate Chip Dunkers at Trader Joe’s, 855 South Federal Highway, Boca Raton, Florida 33432, (561) 338-5031…

Forty-six minutes later, Jeff Eats (back at home along with a cup of steaming hot Dunkin’Donuts’ black coffee and Sunday’s New York Post) was a very-very happy camper!

Trust Jeff Eats when I tell you guys, that if you’re into crunchy chocolate chip cookies (these cookies, excuse me- these Dunkers, also have 1-side coated in chocolate)- Trader Joe’s Chocolatey Coated Chocolate Chip Dunkers are gonna blow you away!

***** Chung Wah Chinese Restaurant, 190 Northeast 119th Street, Miami, Florida 33161, (305) 758-8887.

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!

You can check menu/prices/info at chgoldenstar.com.

Chung Wah Chinese Restaurant is open Monday-Thursday 11am-10pm, Friday-Saturday 11am-10:30pm, Sunday noon-10pm.

* Breaking Up Is Hard To Do.

This “one” just caught Jeff Eats’ eye…

I’m kinda thinking- that this musical could be real fun for “us” Neil Sedaka fans out there!

Jeff Eats just picked-up 2-$48 tickets for 24 bucks a piece on goldstar.com.

from goldstar.com

Set at a Catskills resort in 1960, Breaking Up Is Hard To Do is the sweetly comic story of two friends from Brooklyn in search of good times and romance over the course of one wild Labor Day weekend. The score showcases 18 Neil Sedaka-penned classics, including “Where The Boys Are,” Sweet Sixteen,” “Calendar Girl,” “Love Will Keep Us Together,” and of course, the chart-topping title tune. Cool off this summer with this hot musical comedy at the Broward Stage Door Theatre in Margate.

About
Blues Beatles started during the breaks of the rehearsals of Today – an original band that Marcos Viana, Flavio Naves, Fred Barley, Bruno Falcão and Lancaster Ferreira started in 2010. Marcos, the singer, would invariably pick up his acoustic guitar and start playing Beatles songs. The other members of the band were amazed at how natural the songs sounded, as if he had written them himself. Being blues players the rest of the band started adding their blues twist to these “break songs”. One day Lancaster said: “Why don’t we mix these two things we love to play? We could call this Blues Beatles!” Everyone loved the idea and together they started the Blues Beatles in 2013.
The first version of the Beatles songs that caught people’s attention was Ticket To Ride. The video has now more than twelve million views on Facebook. The band has worked and reworked many different songs since it was formed, but only the ones that sound natural to their ears stay in the repertoire. The arrangements combine blues and soul grooves that suit the vocals of the songs while adding a different feel to them. Instrumental solos and improvisation, typical elements of the blues, are an integral part of the Blues Beatles style. Their fiery live performances showcase their individual and collective skills as soloists.
Be on the LOOKOUT for Blues Beatles coming to a town near you in Fall of 2017/Spring of 2018.
