***** Taste of Hong Kong Chinese Restaurant, 2224 Gulf Gate Drive, Sarasota, Florida 34231, (941) 922-6765.

Got a real good Chinese/Thai joint for you guys to checkout, Taste of Hong Kong Chinese Restaurant in Sarasota.

Simple tale to tell, yesterday, Jeff Eats, Mrs. Jeff Eats and our friends Ellen and Marc “discovered” Taste of Hong Kong Chinese Restaurant and I gotta tell you that- the joint’s food was absolutely delicious! Booth/table seating, reasonably priced- full boat of Jewish American Brooklyn circa 1957 Chinese food/handful of Thai ‘specials’ menu, open Monday- Saturday 11:30am-10pm/ Sunday 4:30pm/9pm.

Let me wrap-up Hong Kong Chinese Restaurant by saying, that if the joint was in Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats’ Boca Raton neighborhood- we definitely would be real steady customers! Ditto- for Ellen and Marc who also live in Boca Raton!

***** Biergarten, 309 Via de Palmas, Boca Raton, Florida 33432, (561) 395-7462.

Last Saturday night around 10pm my wife and I- and another couple stopped by a German “bar-restaurant”—Biergarten in Boca Raton. The joint has indoor seating/huge outdoor patio seating. Real simple concept–tons of different beers, wines, specialty drinks—menu loaded with appetizers, burgers, salads, sandwiches, tacos, German style wursts-schnitzels-and other dishes—local bands and djs. The joint looks like “what” I guess a German beer garden in Germany is suppose to look like and the staff wears’ German beer garden costumes (I think!) You can check menu/prices at www.biergartenboca.com.

What a cool place!. It was JAMMED and I do mean JAMMED! I’m gonna bet here, that half the crowd was FAU/Lynn students. Although it was approaching “my” bedtime, I still “tried” a steak slider, bbq pork slider, pastrami slider, kielbasa, potato pancakes—and I’m telling you straight up, the food was absolutely dynamite. Absolutely some of the best “bar” stuff I’ve had in a very very long time. A great dj was spinning all-types of music and I understand that the bands that work the joint, play classic rock, reggae and new stuff.

Suffice it to say, the “kids” there were having an absolute blast–and us 4 old geezers did the same. Boy! If Ithaca, New York had a joint like Biergarten back in 1966-1970–just maybe, I wouldn’t have been so anxious to graduate from Ithaca College-to get back to Brooklyn. In all fairness, Bobby Comstock & The Counts was a great band, but if memory serves me right, the food at the Dewitt Clinton Hotel where they worked- wasn’t even in the same breath as Biergarten’s grub.

Biergarten hasn’t been around for very long. I’m guessing here, but I think something like 6 months. The joint is located in the “Pink Plaza” in Boca Raton…the spot that it’s in- has over the years-housed more restaurants than you can shake a stick at. I maybe going out on a limb here, but I think that the landlord has finally found a long-term tenant.

Let me close by saying, no matter how old or for that matter young you are—you gotta try Biergarten.

Biergarten is open Sunday-Monday 11am-midnight, Tuesday-Saturday 11am-2am.
