The Venue Restaurant And Bar, 8794 W Boynton Beach Boulevard, Boynton Beach, Florida 33472, (561) 200-0222.

The Venue Restaurant And Bar- is an upscale restaurant/bar/live music venue which opened in Boynton Beach in August, 2018. Decent enough (though on the pricey side) American/Italian food, dynamite modern club decor, spotty-confused service, off the chart good-live Rock N Roll cover & tribute bands/ named act bookings, beyond belief- horrendous location (sleepy Canyon Town Center spot with a surrounding population of 22,000,000 recently retired NYC school teachers)!

Now, you guys and Jeff Eats both know that- this reviewing “gig” is purely a subjective call- you know, what I like, you may hate and vice versa! No question here- I could be wrong, but the way I see it, The Venue Restaurant And Bar is sort of like plunking down a “Tony Soprano” Pork Store right in the middle of a Hasidic Jewish neighborhood in Borough Park, Brooklyn!

Just a gut call, The Venue Restaurant And Bar won’t be long for this world. Like I said a few seconds ago- like plunking down a “Tony Soprano” Pork Store right in the middle…

The Venue Restaurant And Bar is open Tuesday-Saturday 4pm-late, closed Sunday-Monday.

***** Plaza Seafood Market, 3114 Northwest 17th Avenue, Miami, Florida 33142, (305) 636-1695.

Got something real good for you guys, Plaza Seafood Market in Miami. Real easy concept to understand, reasonably priced retail fresh seafood market combined with a reasonably priced out door seating only/fast-food/order at-pickup at the counter seafood restaurant.

Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats recently did lunch there and Plaza Seafood Market blew us away!

Like Jeff Eats said a few seconds ago, Plaza Seafood Market is a terrific outdoor seating only-fast food seafood restaurant/retail seafood market combo! Just so there is no misunderstanding, absolutely nothing fancy whatsoever going on at this joint. Personally, Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats thought that- Plaza Seafood Market was such a “cool” situation, that we plan on bringing (as they visit us) all of our “recently retired-thinking of moving to Florida- New York City School Teacher Friends” there to show them why- Florida is such a great place to live!

Plaza Seafood Market is open, Market: Sunday 8am-3pm, Monday-Saturday 8am-6pm, Restaurant: Monday-Thursday 8am-6pm, Friday-Sunday 8am-9pm.

***** Nonno’s Cucina e Pizzeria, 7400 North Federal Highway, Boca Raton, Florida 33487, (561) 989-8870.

Got an absolutely off the chart-terrific “mom & pop” red sauce Italian joint for you guys to checkout, Nonno’s Cucina e Pizzeria in Boca Raton.

Real simple story…Hole in the wall that serves absolutely dynamite food. Last week- Jeff Eats, Mrs. Jeff Eats, Daughter Jeff Eats and Son Jeff Eats “discovered” Nonno’s Cucina e Pizzeria for dinner and I’m telling you- the joint’s stuff- killed! If you’re a fancy schmancy kinda person, best guess- Nonno’s Cucina e Pizzeria- isn’t gonna work for you! If on the other hand, you’re into no frills “mom & pop” red sauce Italian joints- that serve reasonably priced outrageously delicious food, you now know where to go!

Let me wrap-up Nonno’s Cucina e Pizzeria by telling you guys- that it’s open Monday-Saturday 11am-10pm/closed Monday, menu/prices/info at eatatnonnos.com and that it’s an absolute must try!

***** White Castle Cheeseburgers.

A recent e-mail received by Jeff Eats.

Hey Jeff,

My wife and I just retired to Jupiter after living in Commack, Long Island for 46 years.

I’m a big fan of White Castle Cheeseburgers but cant find a White Castle any place in or near Jupiter.

Can you help me out on locations?

Thank you,

John Stander

John Stander,

Take a look Jeff Eats’ White Castle Cheeseburgers- from 9/9/14 re-printed down below.

Just so you know, there are no White Castle restaurants in Florida. So- like me, you’re gonna have to make do with frozen White Castle sliders which you’ll have to heat-up at home!

You can check whitecastle.com for a list of retailers in Florida. That said- from what I can tell- for right now Walmart seems to be the best retailer price-wise around, getting $9.97 for a box of 16 cheeseburger sliders.

Thanks for reading…

* White Castle Cheeseburgers.

There are no White Castle restaurants in the State of Florida.

Thus the only way to “get” White Castle sliders is to -1. Travel to a White Castle in another state, 2. Have someone in another state ship you sliders, 3. Have someone in another state personally bring sliders to you in Florida, 4. Buy “frozen” White Castle sliders at Florida joints like Publix or Sam’s Club.

To make a long story short, yesterday-right out of nowhere, Jeff Eats was craving White Castle Cheeseburger-sliders. Knowing that only #4 above would work-I drove over to Publix and bought “me” 2 boxes of 6-White Castle Cheeseburgers for $3.49 per box.

Just wanted you guys to know, that Jeff Eats -still got it…between 6:46pm and 7:09pm I downed 9 of the little suckers. Now nothing for nothing, when I was 25 years old, I could easily do 15 sliders if not more in 23 minutes…but hey (God be willing) I’m gonna be 65 next month-so let’s give credit where credit is due!

Finally, the frozen microwavable/or pan heated White Castle sliders came “close” to tasting like the real deal, but nothing and I mean nothing beats the hot-right-off-the-grill sliders that White Castle restaurants turn out.

Consider “this” story a public service announcement -if one day -you finding yourself craving White Castle SLIDERS.

Banana Chocolate Chip Nut Bread.

Earlier this morning while shopping at The Fresh Market, 5540 North Military Trail, Boca Raton, Florida 33496, (561) 994-2221 I came across The Fresh Market’s (house brand)- Banana Chocolate Chip Bread and I gotta tell you guys- it looked amazingly delicious and its $4.49 BOGO price seemed like a no- brainer- buy of a lifetime!

Au contraire!

You guys and Jeff Eats both know that this food reviewing “gig” is purely a subjective call- you know, what I like, you might hate and vice versa!

Let’s just say that-after one bite, both Banana Chocolate Chip Nut Breads ended-up in the old garbage can! I really can’t explain it, but the bread had absolutely and I do mean absolutely- no taste whatsoever! No bs- it was literally like eating a mushy cottonball!

For you guys who might like to checkout Jeff Eats’ “no taste claim” or couldn’t give a rat’s ass about what I think/thought- check thefreshmarket.com for store locations/product info.
