Trader Joe’s Chicken Pot Pie.

Yesterday, Jeff Eats purchased Trader Joe’s Chicken Pot Pie at the Trader Joe’s, 855 South Federal Highway, Boca Raton, Florida 33432, (561) 338-5031 and I gotta tell you guys- after following its microwave directions to a tee- Trader Joe’s Chicken Pot Pie was absolutely vile. I can’t even begin to explain to you guys how horrendous this soupy-like tasteless mess was other than to tell you that the ratio of peas to chicken chunks was probably something like 60 to 1- trust me when I say big time VILE! After one fork-full, I dumped the rest of the “pie” in the garbage.

Unless you’re into inedible crap- Stay away from Trader Joe’s Chicken Pot Pie!

***** Gianni’s Italian Restaurant, 1601 East Atlantic Boulevard, Pompano Beach, Florida 33060 (954) 942-1733.

A recent e-mail received by Jeff Eats.

Jeff,
Long time reader. First time writer.
Just between you and me, where can I find a really good Italian meatball? I’ve been in Florida for 5 years (formerly from Detroit) and really haven’t found a joint that makes ones that are special. My wife and I live in__________, Coconut Creek, but we’ll drive for the right meatball. By the way, we’ve been to tons of joints all over south Florida.
Thanks,
Ronnie G

Ronnie G,

Not exactly sure where you’ve eaten or haven’t eaten- that said, based on your address try (if you haven’t already been there)….Gianni’s Italian Restaurant, 1601 East Atlantic Boulevard, Pompano Beach, Florida 33060 (954) 942-1733. To be perfectly honest with you- you sound kinda picky to me- but what the heck…

Thanks for reading…

***** Gianni’s Italian Restaurant, 1601 East Atlantic Boulevard, Pompano Beach, Florida 33060 (954) 942-1733.

I have been stuffing my face at Gianni’s for years. I don’t know how long this Southern Italian Joint has been in business, but my best guess is 20-25 years.

Real simple review…

Gianni’s is an absolutely terrific Italian restaurant. The food is delicious. The service is as friendly and as competent as can be. The prices are no more expensive than your favorite neighborhood “mom & pop” red sauce joint. Just so you know, Giann’s “enormous” garlic rolls are off-the-chart and worth the price of admission alone.

Gianni’s is open for lunch and dinner. If I were you, I would make a reservation, as the joint is always packed in the evenings.

Gianni’s is one of my favorite South Florida Italian Restaurants. Don’t miss this one.

One of Jeff Eats’ favorite menu items…

TURKEY SUB (large)

This joint makes delicious subs. Like I said 2.5 seconds ago, the joint’s turkey sub is one of my favorites- that said, Boulevard’s Italian Sub ($10.25-large) ain’t exactly a slouch either!

***** Boulevard Subs, 1100 East Oakland Park Boulevard, Oakland Park, Florida 33334, (954) 561-1934.

Got a real good sub joint for you…Boulevard Subs-in Fort Lauderdale.

Jeff Eats knows that you guys are a smart bunch, but -just in case I’m wrong…hole in the wall/handful of tables-inside & outside/order at counter-pickup at counter/menu- loaded with cold-hot subs/sandwiches/wraps/salads.

Check blvdsubs.com for menu/prices-handful of pictures.

Boulevard Subs has been around since 1984…so I’m thinking, that just maybe its doing something right. Before I tell you what Jeff Eats “tried” subs come in 3 sizes, 6″-9″-12″ and are priced $5.90, $7.55, $9.45.

On the subs’ try-out front…I did -chicken salad, tuna salad, meatball, Philly cheesesteak, Italian (ham, salami, capicola, provolone) and I gotta tell you-Boulevard makes some real nice subs. For those of you who might be new to Jeff Eats, I’m a big eater-but trust me, I didn’t eat all of the subs by myself…just so you know, my friend Mike drove me to Boulevard Subs.

Jeff Eats really isn’t to ranking joints…you know, what I like you may not like and vice versa. That said, if Boulevard Subs was by my house I would definitely be a steady customer. For what it’s worth, I really enjoyed the soft-yet slightly crispy bread (whatever that means), the “fillings” were right on the money, the sandwiches were not skimpy, the folks running the joint were as pleasant as could be, the prices -extremely reasonable.

Not much more to tell you…other than Boulevard Subs is open Monday-Saturday 10am-3pm, closed on Sunday.
