* Happy Labor Day.

***** Bello Forno Ristorante, 2901 Clint Moore Road Ste 3, Boca Raton 33496, (561) 995-9940

Got a real good Italian joint for you guys to checkout, Bello Forno Ristorante which opened five months ago in Boca Raton.

Simple tale to tell, last night Jeff Eats, Mrs. Jeff Eats and our friends Allan and Anita “discovered” Bello Forno and its food was right on the money! Small handful of outside tables/ inside table and booth seating, reasonably priced full boat lunch and dinner menus of appetizers/ salads/ subs, pastas/ pizzas/ entrees/ desserts.

Now you guys know- that there are more Italian joints in Florida than there are Chins in a Chinese phonebook (I know, Soupy Sales 1957)- and I am telling you that Bello Forno’s food was absolute dynamite…purely a subjective call- I’d rate the joint right up there with Florida’s best Italian restaurants! Gutsy call- but I am telling you, terrific food!

Let’s wrap-up Bello Forno Ristorante by saying- homerun!

The joint is open:
Sunday- Thursday
11:00 AM – 9:00 PM
Friday- Saturday
11:00 AM – 9:30 PM

***** Lotus Biscoff Cookies, 8.8oz, 32 Cookies per Pack.

Just between us- one of my favorite reasons for flying Delta Air Lines is that its snacks offerings include packs of 2-Lotus Biscoff Cookies! I absolutely love these cookies!

Long story short…I’ve been buying these cookies for years-for some unknown reason I had never mentioned them to you guys- so… yesterday, I purchased 2 Lotus Biscoff Cookies, 8.8oz, 32 Cookies per Pack for $2.97 each at Walmart Supercenter, 16205 South Military Trail, Delray Beach, Florida 33484, (561) 495-8127.

That’s the whole story in a nutshell- off the chart delicious crunchy caramelized cinnamon flavored cookies…

Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats are big Chris Ruggiero fans!

Don’t Miss This Show!

From TheStudioAtMiznerPark.org:

PBS-TV star Chris Ruggiero’s Christmas show features fan favorites from his critically-acclaimed Christmas album such as “Sleigh Ride,” “Christmas (Baby Please Come Home),” and “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas” as well as songs from his 4 prior albums, all delivered in Chris’s own classic style, and accompanied by the Winter Wonderland Orchestra.

Chris has been touring the country breathing new life into vintage rock and roll tunes, in over 100 towns and cities so far! Working with the same arranger who created all the hits for Frankie Valli & the Four Seasons, Chris has crafted unique takes on familiar standards that have landed in heavy rotation on SiriusXM and local radio stations coast-to-coast.

You may have seen him singing on Good Morning America or read about his Christmas album in Rolling Stone, but nothing compares to seeing Chris live on stage. Whether you’re a teenager of the 1960s or just love good music, don’t miss one of the most energetic and fun-filled holiday rock and roll shows you’ll ever see from one of today’s fastest-rising stars.

Just a small taste…

* Publix Promise.

Every so often, Jeff Eats gets a reader email which complains- that at. Publix checkout the scanned register price on an item was more than the shelf or advertised price!

I thought that you guys might like to know what Publix’s official policy is on the above situation…

From Publix.com:

“Our Publix Promise guarantees that if during checkout, the scanned price of an item (excluding alcohol and tobacco products) exceeds the shelf price or advertised price, we will give the customer one of that item free. We will charge the lower price for the remaining items.”
