***** Doughnut Works, 301 West Atlantic Avenue, Delray Beach, Florida 33444, (561) 808-7122.
Got a real good donut joint for you guys to check-out, Doughnut Works in Delray Beach.
Simple concept at work here…mini bite-size cake doughnuts topped with all kinds of stuff/ breakfast sandwiches, order-pickup at counter, handful of tables, open 7 days a week 7am-3pm.
Yesterday morning, Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats “discovered” Doughnut Works (which opened in July, 2018) and trust me- the joint’s doughnuts are absolutely delicious! Just so everybody here is on the same page, we are talking topped mini bite-size cake doughnuts, with not a yeast or for that matter a full size doughnut anywhere in sight. Minimum order 12 doughnuts at $8.85.
Just a quick observation, over the past 18 months or so- I’ve literally seen mini doughnut joints like Doughnut Works popping-up all over Florida. For sure it’s an interesting concept, but I’m kinda thinking that this concept maybe a FAD in the making! Just a word to the wise, Dunkin’ Donuts recently changed its name to simply Dunkin’- just maybe, doughnuts or donuts (or whatever you want to call them)- alone aren’t enough to successfully carry retail stores! Just take a look at Dunkin’s menu (dunkindonuts.com) and you’ll see what Jeff Eats is talking about!
In any event- Doughnut Works’ doughnuts are delicious and…

Walter Hochhauser, Carmine DeSana and Sal Sofia as The Jersey Boys
Walter Hochhauser was born in Brooklyn, NY, and moved to Florida in 1961 where he began singing in some of Miami’s most notable hotels. In 1980, he joined REUNION as the lead singer, playing local venues and Rock N’ Roll shows throughout the state and in the Bahamas. In 2004, REUNION recorded the CD “Miracles,” featuring Walter on lead for many of their arrangements. In 1999, Walter had the privilege and pleasure of recording vocal tracks for Dion DiMucci’s “New Master’s” Album, and today, continues to record songs with Dion being seen and shared through social media.
Carmine DeSena was born in Brooklyn, NY, and was one of the original members of the Creations and Riffs and in the 1970’s he sang with the Ribtones. In 1980, he moved to Florida, and teamed up with Joel Bressler to create REUNION, South Florida’s Premier Show Band. Carmine is also called upon by Dion DiMucci as Baritone on his video recordings shared on social media. Carmine has been influential with “keeping the music alive,” and has been a member of many well known Doo-wop and oldies groups, bringing decades of harmony experience, energy, and excitement to every show he performs in.
Sal Sofia hails from the Bronx, NY, where he grew up with a family of singers, musicians, and entertainers. With a deep affection for music and harmony, he became interested in the deeper vocal group sounds of the 50’s and set out to host his own show, the Doo-Wop Groove on AM/FM stations, heard throughout the New York area. Sal has been a collector of the “rare” sounds of the genre and moved to Florida in 2003, where he began singing with several local acapella groups, achieving notoriety with The Dons of Doo Wop, a successful acapella group. Today, he can be seen and heard joining Dion DiMucci with his strong second tenor style on recordings Dion shares across social media to all of his fans.

Absolutely dynamite- soft black licorice!
Posted on August 1st, 2018
***** Panda All Natural Soft Black Licorice.
First things first- since I was a kid, I’ve loved black licorice! For those of you who may care- I like red licorice but I love black licorice! For you guys who maybe really sick (I mean really care)- Mrs. Jeff Eats doesn’t like black or red licorice!
Anyway,
About a week-or-so-ago, I came across Panda All Natural Soft Black Licorice while shopping at Publix, 3003 Yamato Road, Boca Raton, Florida 33434, (561) 241-5005- and spotted a whole bunch of bags of Panda All Natural Soft Black Licorice. Being a wild and crazy guy- I decided what the heck- and decided to give the Panda brand a try- purchasing 2 bags for $7.90 (for those of you who are math-challenged- that’s $3.87 a bag😜)!
Long story short- absolutely delicious! Now I’m not gonna name names- like Twizzlers Black Licorice Twists or Twizzlers Black Licorice Nibs but trust me when I tell you that Panda All Natural Soft Black Licorice ran/runs absolute circles around most of the black licorice brands that you’ll find at Publix, Walmart, Target, Costco, Winn-Dixie etc.
If you like black licorice- you gotta try Panda All Natural Soft Black Licorice!
Like I said 4 seconds ago, I got my Panda All Natural Soft Black Licorice at the Publix by my house in Boca Raton. A cursory internet search turned-up a ton of online/brick and mortar Panda retailers!
You can catch more info about Panda’s licorice products at panda.fi.

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!
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.
