***** Breakfast Station Restaurant, 4100 North Wickham Road, Melbourne, Florida 32935, (321) 428-4810.

Got a real good diner for you guys to checkout- Breakfast Station Restaurant in Melbourne.

Real simple tale to tell, the other day- Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats “discovered” Breakfast Station Restaurant and I gotta tell you- if your’e into diners- you will absolutely love this joint. Delicious food, super pleasant service, reasonable prices, no drama! Open 7 days a week from 7am-3pm.

Just so you guys know- there are 14 Breakfast Station Restaurants in Florida. Not trying to make any enemies here- but based on Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats’ “outing” in-my-humble-opinion this joint’s food/vibe/prices/decor/service were better than what chains like IHOP, First Watch, Perkins Bakery & Restaurant serve-up. Purely a subjective call, but the Melbourne- Breakfast Station Restaurant had the “mom & pop” neighborhood diner “vibe” that we really enjoy!- the other chains don’t have it!

Let me wrap Breakfast Station Restaurant up by telling you guys that you can check breakfaststationcentral.com.

***** Mike’s Italian Ice, 4546 South Semoran Boulevard, Orlando, Florida 32822, (407) 658-4453.

Just between you guys and Jeff Eats I’ve been eating Italian Ices since 1949…when I started, the neighborhood Brooklyn pizza joint “had” something like 4-flavors…Lemon, Cherry, Rainbow and Chocolate-and a scoop in a squeeze cup was 10 cents! Now, just in case we ever find ourselves together on the ‘Newlywed Game Show”- back in ’49- Jeff Eats absolutely loved Cherry, then came Lemon, next up Chocolate and then Rainbow!

Anyway,

Some 65 years later, I’m still a huge Italian Ice Fan…

Jeff Eats recently came across Mike’s Italian Ice in Orlando…and as “expected” the joint was located in a bombed out shopping center and had the “expected” handful of tables.

Mike’s makes its “own” ices and has 20+ daily flavors! Mike’s also has vanilla and chocolate soft serve ice cream…

Real simple story- delicious cherry, lemon, rainbow and chocolate ices…now, if you’re still with me- if you take Mike’s cherry ice and “fold in” some of Mike’s vanilla soft serve-you have what is called a gelati…and you will know why Jeff Eats has been an Italian Ice Fan literally forever-and why I didn’t want to leave Mike’s after finishing a large cup!

On pricing, you know and Jeff Eats knows that nothing, and I do mean nothing costs 10 cents-anymore…but trust me, you won’t need a second job to have one of those large gelati-cups that I just told you about!

You can check Mike’s menu/prices/info at mikesitalianice.com

Mike’s Italian Ice is open Monday-Saturday 11am-9pm, closed Sunday.

***** 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.
