***** Avellino’s Italian Restaurant, 5869 West Atlantic Avenue, Delray Beach, Florida 33484, (561) 332-3544.

Got a real good “mom & pop” Italian joint for you guys to check-out…Avellino’s Italian Restaurant in Delray Beach.

Just between you guys and me, I kinda think that I know my “mom & pop” Italian joints- and I’m telling you guys that Avellino’s in Delray Beach is a winner!

Real simple tale to tell…last night Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats “discovered” Avellino’s and its food absolutely killed! Table/booth seating, reasonably priced appetizers/ salads/ hot & cold subs-panini/ salads/ pastas/ brick oven pizzas/ entrees/ other stuff dinner menu, lunch menu, twilight menu, super pleasant service…and yes- the joint’s dinner entrees come with soup or salad/ pasta side/ garlic rolls.

Let me wrap-up Avellino’s Italian Restaurant by telling you guys- that its brick-oven pizza alone was worth the price of admission. Other than for dough, cheese and tomato sauce I-got no idea as to what else (if anything) went into the the final product- All I can say – off the chart delicious!

You guys can check menu/prices/info at avellinosdelray.com.

The joint is open Monday-Saturday 11am-9pm, Sunday noon-9pm.

* David Johansen, punk icon and Buster Poindexter alter ego, dies at 75

March 1, 2025 / 1:58 PM EST / AP
David Johansen, the wiry, gravelly-voiced singer and last surviving member of the glam and protopunk band the New York Dolls who later performed as his campy, pompadoured alter ego, Buster Poindexter, has died. He was 75.

Johansen died Friday at his home in New York City, Jeff Kilgour, a family spokesperson told The Associated Press. It was revealed in early 2025 that he had stage 4 cancer and a brain tumor.

The New York Dolls were forerunners of punk and the band’s style – teased hair, women’s clothes and lots of makeup – inspired the glam movement that took up residence in heavy metal a decade later in bands like Faster Pussycat and Mötley Crüe.

“When you’re an artist, the main thing you want to do is inspire people, so if you succeed in doing that, it’s pretty gratifying,” Johansen told The Knoxville News-Sentinel in 2011.

Rolling Stone once called the Dolls “the mutant children of the hydrogen age” and Vogue called them the “darlings of downtown style, tarted-up toughs in boas and heels.”

Trust Jeff Eats on this one, this joint’s subs absolutely kill!

***** Paul’s Italian Deli and Restaurant, 812 East Vine Street, Kissimmee, Florida 34744,b(407) 933-0766.

Got a real good sub joint for you guys to check-out, Paul’s Italian Deli and Restaurant in Kissimmee.

Simple tale to tell, yesterday afternoon Jeff Eats, Mrs. Jeff Eats and six old friends from our Brooklyn Days (who now live in Orlando) ate lunch at Paul’s Italian Deli and Restaurant and the joint’s food blew us all away! Order/pick-up at the counter, indoor table seating, reasonably priced hot & cold subs/ salads/ hot Italian dishes/ desserts menu.

Now! You guys all know that this food reviewing “gig” is purely a subjective exercise…you know, what I like, you may hate and vice versa!

With that in mind, I gotta tell you- that Paul’s Italian Deli and Restaurant ranks right up there with Florida’s best sub joints!

The truth be told, the 6- “Orlandoians” are “regulars” at Paul’s Italian Deli and Restaurant picked-up the bill for Jeff Eats and Mrs. Eats! Free food or not free, if Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats lived in the Orlando/Kissimmee area we definitely would be real steady customers of Paul’s Italian Deli and Restaurant.

Paul’s Italian Deli and Restaurant is open Monday-Friday 9am-4pm/ Saturday 10am-3pm/ closed Sunday.

***** Jaxson’s Ice Cream Parlor, 128 South Federal Highway, Dania Beach , Florida 33004, (954) 023-4445.

Jaxson’s has been around something like 50 years. This is one of the greatest joints in all of South Florida, not to mention the United States, to get great home-made ice cream. The Food Channel has done several stories on Jaxson’s.

Decorated in Early American License Plate, Jaxson’s is located in a non-descript strip-shopping center in Dania Beach. The joint is packed day and night with people stuffing their faces with some of the most delicious ice cream that you have ever tasted. The portions are enormous and “individual” servings can feed 1-2-3 people. Jaxson’s also does, burgers, hot dogs, salads etc., but the game here is ICE CREAM. Personally, my favorite is a waffle with a scoop of strawberry and a scoop of mocha chip. That single dish, is big enough to serve 2-3 people. Be smart and don’t over order here, because (1) you will be wasting a ton of great ice cream and (2) you will be wasting a ton of money.

I am telling you that you absolutely positively want to try this joint. The ice cream and food are great…the atmosphere is terrific…the service is terrific…and the “penny candy” assortment at the front of the joint will have you reminiscing about 1950’s Brooklyn-Bronx-Queens (etc,).

There are always lines waiting to get in and for take-out. Jaxson’s is open 7-days a week…Monday-Thursday 11:30am-11pm…Friday-Saturday 11:30am- midnight…Sunday noon-11pm.
