Trust Jeff Eats when I tell you guys- that Gourmet Gourmet is one of the best Chinese take-out joints in Florida.

Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats got hooked on this joint about 7 years ago and literally whenever we are in Gourmet Gourmet’s neighborhood- we get something to eat there.

Like I said, Gourmet Gourmet is a take-out joint, that said it does have a small eat-at counter if you want to “dine” there!

***** Gourmet Gourmet, 4249 West Flagler Street, Miami, Florida 33134, (305) 443-8664.

Got a really good Chinese “takeout” joint for you guys…Gourmet Gourmet in Miami. Just so you know, Jeff Eats first told you guys about Gourmet a Gourmet on 11/25/10- some things bear retelling…

Let me make this one short and simple…

Applying the world-famous Jeff Eats’ “1959 Brooklyn-Jewish Chinese Taste-Test”—wonton soup, egg rolls, bbq ribs, roast pork fried rice, general tso’s chicken, beef with broccoli, mu shu pork…Jeff Eats has to tell you, that Gourmet Gourmet is one of the better Chinese takeout joints that I’ve encountered down here in sunny South Florida. Just so you know, the food was picked-up at the store and was eaten at a friend’s apartment about 5 minutes away…For those of you who like a pecking order, I thought that the mu shu pork and egg rolls were the best items, closely followed by the bbq ribs—the rest of the stuff “tied.”

Like I said a few seconds ago, Gourmet Gourmet is a TAKEOUT—so that precludes a ton of you readers from playing this “game.” For those of you who live or work in Gourmet’s neighborhood—this is a good joint to know about.

You can check Gourmet Gourmet’s menu/prices at www.gourmet-gourmet.net.

The joint is open Monday-Saturday 11:30am-9:30pm and Sunday 5pm-9:30pm.

Yeserday- Jeff Eats bought a package of Walmart’s house brand, Great Value- Hip Chip Ice Cream Sandwich at the Walmart Supercenter, 16205 South Military Trail, Delray Beach, Florida 33484- and ate all 6 sandwiches while watching last night’s Yankee game!
