***** Amici’s Pizzeria Cafe, 4800 West Hillsboro Boulevard, Coconut Creek, Florida 33073, (954) 428-4911.
Found a real good “mom & pop” Italian red sauce joint for you guys to checkout- Amici’s Pizzeria Cafe in Coconut Creek.
Real simple tale to tell- full boat menu of reasonably priced- appetizers/ salads/ pizzas/ pastas/ hot & cold subs/ entrees/ calzones/ strombolis, something like 8 tables inside/ 2 outside!
Based on a terrific recommendation from long time Jeff Eats’ reader Ellen G, yesterday- Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats gave Amici’s Pizzeria Cafe a shot for lunch and I gotta tell you guys that Ellen G really came through for us-(actually Amici’s did the coming through) with the joint’s house salad, chicken parm sub, 2-New York Style cheese slices and Sicilian slice all being right on the money!
Like I said 2 seconds ago- house salad/ chicken parm sub/ a couple of cheese slices/ a Sicilian slice- not exactly what you would call an in-depth taste test…with that in mind, Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats are definitely looking forward to another outing at Amici’s.
You can check menu/prices/info at amicispizzeriacafe.com.
Found a real good ice cream joint for you guys to checkout- Tipsy Cow in Bonita Springs.
With the understanding that Jeff Eats and for that matter Mrs. Jeff Eats have never met an ice cream cone nor an ice cream cup that we didn’t like- I gotta tell you that the other day we had home-made ice cream at a joint named, Tipsy Cow and it was off the chart delicious!
Real simple concept, home-made ice cream/sorbet, order-pickup at counter, rotating flavors, inside table and counter seating/ outside table seating.
You guys and Jeff Eats both know that that this Jeff Eats’ food “reviewing” gig is purely a subjective game…you know, what I like, you may hate and vice versa! With that in mind, I’m telling you guys that this Tipsy Cow joint’s ice cream ran circles around most of the ice cream Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats have had down here in sunny Florida during the past 26 years. Like I just said- subjective call…
You guys can checkout tipsycowfl.com for menu/prices/info,
The Tipsy Cow is open Tuesday-Saturday 2pm-10pm, closed Monday.
These Dunkers are absolutely amazing-delicious! Some mornings- I just fill up a Dixie Cup with them- and along with a hot cup of black coffee- stuff my face while watching Jim Cramer make a fool out of himself on CNBC!

***** Trader Joe’s Chocolatey Coated Chocolate Chip Dunkers.
Yesterday morning at 10:17am Jeff Eats came across these $4.99 Trader Joe’s Chocolately Coated Chocolate Chip Dunkers at Trader Joe’s, 855 South Federal Highway, Boca Raton, Florida 33432, (561) 338-5031…
Forty-six minutes later, Jeff Eats (back at home along with a cup of steaming hot Dunkin’Donuts’ black coffee and Sunday’s New York Post) was a very-very happy camper!
Trust Jeff Eats when I tell you guys, that if you’re into crunchy chocolate chip cookies (these cookies, excuse me- these Dunkers, also have 1-side coated in chocolate)- Trader Joe’s Chocolatey Coated Chocolate Chip Dunkers are gonna blow you away!
You can check traderjoes.com for store locations/hours/info.
Got a real good Chinese joint for you guys to check-out, Chung Wah Chinese Restaurant in Miami.
Last week- while driving around Miami looking for a gas station- Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats “discovered” Chung Wah and I gotta tell you, the joint’s food blew us away!
Real simple concept at work here…
Chung Wah is basically a takeout but it does have a couple of tables and a counter (if you insist like Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats did) for eating there!
Chung Wah is located in an Exxon Gas Station’s Express Food Mart, so it’s probably not gonna work for you fancy schmancy guys out there!
Chung Wah menu has the full boat of Brooklyn Jewish American Chinese Food circa 1957-like wonton soup, egg rolls, chicken wings, bbq ribs, sweet & sour chicken, pepper steak, steamed pork dumplings, shrimp with lobster sauce, General Tso’s chicken, roast pork egg foo young, so on and so forth!
Chung Wah’s food is reasonably priced!
Chung Wah’s portions are big!
Chung Wah’s food is absolute dynamite (that’s assuming you like Brooklyn Jewish American Chinese Food circa 1957)!
Let me wrap this tale up for you guys by saying that Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats really enjoyed Chung Wah’s food and the whole gas station-vibe! No question about it, if Chung Wah Chinese Restaurant was closer to our Boca Raton abode, we definitely would be real steady customers.
If you’re into Brooklyn Jewish American Chinese Food circa 1957- I’m telling you- that you gotta give this joint a shot!
You can check menu/prices/info at chgoldenstar.com.
Chung Wah Chinese Restaurant is open Monday-Thursday 11am-10pm, Friday-Saturday 11am-10:30pm, Sunday noon-10pm.

For years, Jeff Eats has heard nothing but- terrific things about the Big City Dogs- and last night, I finally got the chance to see them in action- all I can tell you guys, is that you Classic Rock fans gotta go see this band!
