***** The Boys Farmers Market.

Jeff Eats first “reviewed” The Boys Farmers Market on 5/6/2009.

That review is reprinted below.

It is now some 5 1/2 years later- and I just wanted to tell -new as well as old- Jeff Eats’ readers that I LOVE this joint-and if you live or work anywhere-near The Boys Farmers Market make it your business to shop there…trust me, you will be thrilled that you did!

***** The Boys Farmers Market, 14378 Military Trail, Delray Beach, Florida 33484 (561) 496-8123.

If you can “handle” its parking-lot…with senior citizens “backing in and backing out” non-stop…The Boys Farmers Market is an absolutely great place to shop for fruits, fresh squeezed juices, vegetables, baked goods, cheeses, wines, candies, seafood, meats, coffees and prepared chicken/seafood/meat dishes.

Just guessing here, but The Boys’ probably has something like 30,000 square feet of indoor space jammed with top quality FOOD. All the free samples that you’d like…and everything sold, runs circles around joints like Publix, Winn Dixie and Albertsons, not to mention-probably cheaper.

My family has been shopping at The Boys Farmers Market for years…and I have been amazed by two things…namely, that we have never been involved in a fender-bender in its parking lot & the great stuff that it sells.

The Boys has its own bakery, squeezes its own juices and prepares its own “take out” food. This joint is an absolute-winner. If you live in the Delray Beach area, you probably already know about The Boys…for those of you who don’t, you got to go shopping there…just be careful in the parking lot.

The Boys Farmers Market is open 7 days a week.

* Selena- The Como La Flor Band- The Ultimate Serena Experience.

Literally just this minute, Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats were invited by Live Nation to be its guests tomorrow night, May 4th, 2023 at The Casino @ Dania Beach to see Selena- The Como La Flor Band- The Ultimate Serena Experience.

Hearing that this show is absolutely amazing!

Just checked the box-office and there are a few tickets still available…

Tickets: casinodaniabeach.com

Just between Jeff Eats and you guys, I knew that one day my 2 years of Junior High School/ 4 years of High School/ 2 years of College Spanish courses would come in handy!

Just a taste…

Humor!

A shepherd was herding his flock in a remote pasture when suddenly a
brand-new BMW advanced out of the dust cloud towards him. The driver, a
young man in a Broni suit, Gucci shoes, Ray Ban sunglasses and YSL tie,
leaned out the window and asked the shepherd… “If I tell you exactly how
many sheep you have in your flock, will you give me one?” The shepherd
looked at the man, obviously a yuppie, then looked at his peacefully
grazing flock and calmly answered “sure”.

The yuppie parked his car, whipped out his IBM ThinkPad and connected it
to a cell phone, then he surfed to a NASA page on the internet where he
called up a GPS satellite navigation system, scanned the area, and then
opened up a database and an Excel spreadsheet with complex formulas.

He sent an email on his iPad and, after a few minutes, received a
response. Finally, he printed out a 130-page report on his miniaturized
printer then turn to the shepherd and said, “You have exactly 1586 sheep.
“That is correct; take one of the sheep.” said the shepherd. He watched
the young man select one of the animals and bundle it into his car.
Then the shepherd said: “If I can tell you exactly what your business is,
will you give me back my animal?”, “OK, why not.” answered the young man.

“Clearly, you are a consultant.” said the shepherd. “That’s correct.” said
the yuppie, “but how did you guess that?” “No guessing required.” answered
the shepherd. “You turned up here although nobody called you. You wanted to
get paid for an answer I already knew, to a question I never asked, and
you don’t know crap about my business…… Now give me back my dog.

* Win 2-$10 Chick-fil-A Gift Cards.

Jeff Eats got 2-$10 Chick-fil-A Gift Cards to give to one of you guys…

The game- the first 20 “reader-comments” received – will be entered in a “blind hat pick”! You can submit as many comments as you’d like but- Please, only 1- reader comment – per day…play fair!

The 2-$10 Gift Cards are good at any Chick-fil-A location (chick-fil-a.com for locations, menus, prices, info).

Skillets Boca, 7036 West Palmetto Park Road, Boca Raton, Florida 33433, (561) 931-2883.

Real simple tale to tell, this past Saturday morning Jeff Eats and a couple of old friends ate breakfast at Skillets- a breakfast/lunch American diner in Boca Raton and I gotta tell you guys- this joint won’t be seeing Jeff Eats again!

Let me set the stage for you guys…breakfast/lunch diner open 7 days a week 7am-2:30pm, inside counter and table seating/ handful of outside tables, hillbilly wood decor, large breakfast-lunch egg/ pancake/ waffle/ soup/ salad/ wrap/ sandwich (think IHOP and you’ll be on the right page!) menu, very pleasant service! Just so you know, Skillets currently has 16 Florida joints!

Long Story short, our order consisted of:

1 Western Omelet ($13.50) (Jeff Eats’ order)
2 Corned Beef Hash Skillets ($29.90) (Couple Of Old Friends’ orders)
2 Regular Coffees ($6.50)
Total With Tax ($53.41)
Total With Tax & Tip ($64)

Straight up I am telling you guys that the western omelet that was delivered to me- ranks right up there with the worst western omelets I have ever eaten! Picture if you can, a virtually colorless super thin flat omelet witch had absolutely no taste whatsoever! It was so bad, that after two bites, I was done! Now I’m no expert on facial expressions, but when the waitress came to clear the table, the look on her face (at least to me) as she took my plate away was saying WTF? Now as for Jeff Eats’ couple of old friends, let’s just say that I didn’t hear any rave reviews from them while they were eating nor after we had left Skillets! We all agreed that for 64 bucks- we could have done much better price and eating wise at most of the tons of other American breakfast-lunch joints that dot the Boca Raton landscape!

Let me wrap Skillets up by saying- what I like you may hate and vice versa…

In recent days, Jeff Eats has seen a number of tractor trailers loaded with cars with New York and New Jersey license plates- unloading their “cargo”- so to save time, let me answer the inevitable “best bagels” questions by reprinting this Jeff Eats’ article from February 23, 2015…

***** Bagel City South.

Jeff Eats recently received this e-mail…

Jeff,
Long time reader.
I know you don’t like or really do ‘best’ lists.
Indulge me, if it came down to just one south Florida joint, which one would it be for bagels?
I won’t tell anyone.
Thanks,
Anthony Franza

Anthony Franza,

You know that ‘best’ lists really aren’t my game…that said, if you promise not to tell anyone!

And- thanks for reading.

***** Bagel City South–6006 SW 18th Street, Boca Raton, Florida 33433–(561) 393-5383

Bagel City South makes some of the best New York styled bagels and bialys in South Florida. The stuff is made the old fashioned way, that being hand rolled, boiled and then oven baked.

The joint is open 7 days a week for breakfast and lunch. Great place for appetizing, burgers, deli, eggs and of course those fantastic bagels/bialys.

Sassy waitresses and talkative countermen add to the New York flavor. This is a real good one.
