***** Sweet Treats Bakery, 2900 West Sample Road, Pompano Beach, Florida 33073, (954) 984-4785.

Got something really terrific for you guys…Sweet Treats Bakery a brand new bakery-concession stand which opened about a-month ago in The Festival Flea Market Mall in Pompano Beach.

Long story short,

Yesterday afternoon- Mrs. Jeff Eats “needed” some baked goods for a bunch of “her” relatives visiting from New York…based on her friend Audrey’s recommendation, Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats picked-up 2-Russian coffee cakes, 2-chocolate babkas, 2 1/2 lbs.of assorted rugelach, 6 almond horns, 1 dozen chocolate chip cookies- for some unknown reason, Mrs. Jeff Eats chose not to run-the-table- by not picking-up some- of the danish, muffins, breads, Chinese cookies, chocolate meltaways, linzer tarts and hamantaschen that Sweet Treats also- features in its display cases.

Sweet Treats is owned/operated by Joanne and Mary- who combined, have 53 years in the retail bakery business…Sweet Treats’ stuff is “baked” off premises and delivered fresh every morning to The Festival Flea Market Mall-joint. From what I understand, when an item is sold out, it’s sold out- until the next day! In addition to the “items” above, Sweet Treats has a number of “no sugar added” products- and has a rotating list of cookies/cakes -that are “daily specials.”

Now, you know and Jeff Eats knows that the proof is in the pudding…and I gotta tell you, that everything we picked-up was right on the money! If I had to, but I don’t, but I will- tell you that the Russian coffee cake and the chocolate babka absolutely killed! These two “cakes” alone- made the use of my SunPass worthwhile. Now don’t get me wrong, everything that Mrs. Jeff Eats’ relatives devoured were hits- but that babka and that coffee cake were game changers.

On the price-front, Joanne and Mary are banging “things”-out at Publix type prices…for example- the babka and coffee cake fetch $7.95 a piece!

Just a word to the wise, based on what Jeff Eats saw…if you “want something in particular” call ahead- and have Joanne or Mary put it away for you…yesterday at 3:30pm, Sweet Treats’ stand was jammed with people literally buying everything in sight!- and like I said 3.2 seconds ago, when an item is sold out, it’s sold out!

Sweet Treats Bakery is open Monday-Friday 9:30am-5pm, Saturday-Sunday 9:30am-6pm.

* I Know It Isn’t Exactly- Ali Frazier, but…Wilder Fury II Is Gonna Be Some Fight!

Now…rather than spending $79.99 for pay-per-view…Jeff Eats, Mrs. Jeff Eats and 3-other couples got big plans to watch the fight for FREE at Miller’s Ale House, 1200 Yamato Road, Boca Raton, Florida 33431, (561) 988-9142.

Should be a terrific night of good food, good drink, good company, good fight!

If this plan makes sense to you…

Trust Jeff Eats on this one, this joint makes real good stuff!

***** Hong Kong Wok N’ Grill, 185 East Indiantown Road, Jupiter, Florida 33477, (561) 746-6798.

When I was a kid growing up in Brooklyn my parent’s favorite neighborhood Chinese restaurant was Joy Fong’s on Avenue J—now I’m just guessing here, but I’ll bet you that between 1949-1966 (the year Jeff Eats started college) I, my brother, my father and my mother must have eaten in that joint something like 600 times. Now, most non-Jews (the goyim) back then, thought that “us” Jews lit candles on Friday nights—au contraire, “us” Reform Brooklyn Jews were either stuffing our faces in/or getting takeout deliveries from the Joy Fong’s of the world. Back then we didn’t call it Chinese food, we use to say we were going out for C@@@@@—(And you thought that Jeff Eats wasn’t politically correct, didn’t you?) The point I’m trying to drive home here, whether right or wrong, Joy Fong’s “food” is as far as I’m concerned the gold-standard for neighborhood Chinese joint food. Maybe a better way to explain “this”—when I eat matzo ball soup-I compare the ball at hand–in texture, consistency and flavor to the ones that my mother made.

Now that I’ve filled some space and killed some of your time, I recently had dinner at Hong Kong Wok N’ Grill in Jupiter. Now based on my Brooklyn Jewish Chinese Joy Fong’s standards I gotta tell you, this joint makes some pretty good food.

Here’s what I “sampled”—egg rolls, pan fried pork dumplings, bbq ribs, roast pork fried rice, chicken chow mein, sweet & sour pork, general tso’s chicken (no spice), shrimp with lobster sauce. As for the test results, the egg rolls, dumplings, ribs were delicious—same for the fried rice and general tso’s chicken…as for the sweet & sour pork, chicken chow mein and shrimp with lobster sauce–good, but if memory serves me right, Joy Fong’s stuff was better.

Now for the kicker here—in early 1967 my parents, my brother and I discovered Pine Gardens (which morphed into Wong Kee) in NYC’s Chinatown which made Joy Fong’s food look like rookieville. Since Pine Gardens/Wong Kee were so phenomenal, I don’t use “them” as yardsticks, because to this very date, I haven’t found any joint that makes better food.

Let me wrap this story up this way…Hong King Wok N’ Grill is a real good Chinese restaurant. If you live or work in Hong’s neighborhood give it a shot—I enjoyed it and I think you will too.

Hong Kong Wok N’ Grill is open Monday-Saturday 11am-10pm, Sunday 4pm-10pm.

* Happy Presidents Day-2020.

Just in case you’re planning on being on- Jeopardy…

From holiday.com

Presidents Day is a federal holiday celebrated on the third Monday in February; Presidents Day 2020 occurs on Monday, February 17. Originally established in 1885 in recognition of President George Washington, the holiday became popularly known as Presidents Day after it was moved as part of 1971’s Uniform Monday Holiday Act, an attempt to create more three-day weekends for the nation’s workers. While several states still have individual holidays honoring the birthdays of Washington, Abraham Lincoln and other figures, Presidents Day is now popularly viewed as a day to celebrate all U.S. presidents, past and present.
