***** Doris Italian Market & Bakery *****

The other day, I told you guys about a terrific “market”…The Boys Farmers Market (5/6/09) located in Delray Beach.

Now let me tell you about another terrific “market”…Doris Italian Market & Bakery which currently has 5 locations… Hollywood, Plantation, Coral Springs, Boca Raton and Pembroke Pines…another spot in Sunrise is scheduled to open in the very near future. For full details/addresses check Doris’ website at www.dorismarket.com

Just so you know, Doris started out in Hollywood in 1947 as a neighborhood Italian meat-market. Today’s locations, are probably 7,500-10,000 sq. ft and have a full range of meats, seafood, baked goods, fresh produce, prepared foods and grocery items. Although it calls itself an “Italian Market & Bakery”…Doris’ baked goods and prepared foods are not limited to Italian “style” food…unless stuff like bbq ribs, tuna salad, shrimp salad, egg salad, chocolate chip cookies are Italian food.

Over the years, my family has shopped countless times at Doris’ Boca location…and I have to tell you, that its baked goods and prepared foods…are outstanding. This joint’s cakes, breads, pastries are top-notch…its Italian “dishes” are as good, if not better, than the stuff served by your favorite neighborhood pizza joint.

The way I look at Doris…outstanding joint for baked goods,”take home” food, fresh meat-seafood…by the way, Doris makes a chicken salad which is one of the “best” that I have eaten…As for produce and grocery items, your local Publix is better…Prices?— local supermarket prices.

Doris is open Monday-Friday 8:30am-7pm, Saturday 8:30am-6:30pm, Sunday 8:30am-5pm.

V & S is one of the best sub joints that Jeff Eats has had the pleasure to do business with for the past 25 years!

No bs- here, can’t recall even one single “item” that wasn’t off the chart delicious!

This joint is an absolute must try!

***** V & S Italian Deli Subs and Pasta, 2621 North Federal Highway, Boca Raton, Florida 33431 (561) 395-5206.

V & S is a small Italian takeout-deli located in Boca Raton. The joint has been around since 1985-and has the full gamut of cold and hot subs/sandwiches/salads/Italian entrees/pasta dishes. On the sub price-front, figure on spending $6.50-$8 depending on whether you get small-or-large.

A recent outing had Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats “sampling” some subs and I gotta tell you guys- absolutely top-shelf! Delicious fresh baked hard crust bread stuffed with great “fillings”- just that simple!

Like I said two seconds ago, V & S is basically a takeout (handful of wall counter seats) so don’t planning on staging big weddings, bar mitzvahs or baby namings there!

The joint is open Monday-Friday 9am-6pm, Saturday 9am-5pm, Sunday 10am-3pm.

I’d be doing you guys a great disservice by just picking one flavor! Trust Jeff Eats on this one, this joint’s- made in house- ice cream/sorbet absolutely kills!

***** Tipsy Cow, 25261 Chamber of Comerce Road, Bonita Springs 34135, (239) 949-7172.

Found a real good ice cream joint for you guys to checkout- Tipsy Cow in Bonita Springs.

With the understanding that Jeff Eats and for that matter Mrs. Jeff Eats have never met an ice cream cone nor an ice cream cup that we didn’t like- I gotta tell you that the other day we had home-made ice cream at a joint named, Tipsy Cow and it was off the chart delicious!

Real simple concept, home-made ice cream/sorbet, order-pickup at counter, rotating flavors, inside table and counter seating/ outside table seating.

You guys and Jeff Eats both know that that this Jeff Eats’ food “reviewing” gig is purely a subjective game…you know, what I like, you may hate and vice versa! With that in mind, I’m telling you guys that this Tipsy Cow joint’s ice cream ran circles around most of the ice cream Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats have had down here in sunny Florida during the past 26 years. Like I just said- subjective call…

You guys can checkout tipsycowfl.com for menu/prices/info,

The Tipsy Cow is open Tuesday-Saturday 2pm-10pm, closed Monday.

Real simple tale to tell- Park Avenue makes some outrageously delicious bbq baby backs and other stuff. Jeff Eats has been eating there (7 South Florida locations) for years and I can’t recall even one bad meal!

Just so you know, Park Avenue really isn’t into “smoke”- let’s just say pressure cooked meats finished-off on a gas grill- trust Jeff Eats, the ribs-so on and so forth, come out absolutely delicious!

Like I said a few seconds ago, I’ve been eating there for years- delicious food, reasonable prices, terrific service, big portions- Go!- you’ll become a fan!

***** Park Avenue BBQ Grille, 1198 North Dixie Highway, Boca Raton, Florida 33432 (561) 416-7427.

On April 29, 2008 I told you guys about Park Avenue BBQ Grille…a small-casual-very reasonably priced-Florida based “bbq-chain.” Last night, I had dinner at Park Avenue’s newest location (#9) which just opened in Boca Raton…and the food is terrific.

Park Avenue’s newest spot—is located in the free-standing building formely occupied by Bucky’s BBQ. From what I can tell, other than hanging a few new signs and decorations, the joint has the same interior as Bucky’s had…and I gotta tell you, the cozy 98 seat dark wood table/ booth–dimly lit–small bar decor is great looking. For those of you not familar with this chain’s other 8 locations–they seat close to 150, have large bar areas and are brightly lit. Although the Boca location “looks” different than its brethren…the food is exactly the same, delicious.

Do me a favor and read my original 4/29/08 review…it will save me from doing some typing. You can check Park Avenue’s BBQ website www.pabbqgrille.com for menu/prices.

Park Avenue is one of the best bbq-joints in South Florida…The joint is open 7 days a week 11am-10pm.

***** Park Avenue BBQ & Grille, 4796 North Congress Avenue, Boynton Beach, Florida 33426, (561) 357-7427.

Park Avenue is a small “local” South Florida bbq chain. I have lost count on how many there are, but 7 or 8 units sounds about right. Over the years I have eaten in 3 of its locations a total of something like 35 times and taken out so much food, that it’s amazing that I haven’t had to have an angioplasty done. Anyway…my last Park Avenue outing was last night (at the Boynton Beach location) and I have to tell you, that the joint’s baby-back ribs and bbq chicken are absolutely delicious. This joint also makes corn-fritters doused in powder sugar that are terrific.

Do yourself a favor and visit a location in your area. Delicious food. Big portions. Pleasant and efficient waiters/waitresses. All kinds of menu “price specials.” Park Avenue is open 7 days a week for lunch and dinner. If you wear anything dressier than tee shirt/shorts you will look silly.
