***** Aunt D’s Kitchen, 1129 Northeast Jensen Beach Boulevard, Jensen Beach, Florida 34957, (772) 225-1337.

Got a real good “mom & pop” or maybe I should- say “aunt & uncle” diner for you guys to checkout- Aunt D’s Kitchen in Jensen Beach.

Simple concept at work here…breakfast/lunch, counter/table seating, 50’s decor, menu loaded with breakfast stuff/ sandwiches/ burgers/ salads/ daily specials, good food, reasonable prices.

Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats did a recent breakfast at Aunt D’s Kitchen and I gotta tell you- nothing fancy schmancy going on here- just real solid food, pleasant service, the constantly topped-off coffee cups and- Daughter Jeff Eats and Son Jeff Eats not being there- made for a really enjoyable 40 minute drama-free outing!

I don’t know about you guys- but, Jeff Eats any day of the week- would rather eat in an independently owned “mom & pop” diner rather than a large chain operation like IHOP or Perkins! Mind you, there is nothing wrong with the IHOPs and Perkins of the world- call me sentimental or whatever- but in my book, joints like Aunt D’s Kitchen are what America is all about! Hey! For crying out loud, Memorial Day is this coming Monday!😛

Aunt D’s Kitchen is open Monday-Saturday 6:30am-2pm, Sunday 6:30am-1pm.

A recent e-mail received by Jeff Eats…

Jeff,
My husband and I just moved into _________________ a 55+ community in Boynton Beach. We are originally from Brooklyn and we are looking for a really good Chinese Restaurant not too far of a drive from our new home. Can you give us a good one? Thanks, MKA

MKA,

Got a real good “one” for you and depending on how fast you drive, at the most it’s 10 minutes away from your community.

Welcome to Florida and thanks for reading,

Jeff Eats

***** Kingsburg Asian Cuisine, 9819 South Military Trail, Boynton Beach, Florida 33436, (561) 734-8255.

Got a real good Chinese joint for you…Kingsburg Asian Cuisine in Boynton Beach. Don’t let the “Asian Cuisine” in the joint’s name throw you off, Kingsburg is a Chinese restaurant- with a pretty good handful of Korean, Vietnamese and Thai dishes thrown into the menu-mix!

The other night, Jeff Eats, Mrs. Jeff Eats and another couple ate dinner at Kingsburg…not exactly sure as to how long Kingsburg been around- but when I squinted (no insult or pun intended) my eyes, I’m thinking that I could have been sitting in a Brooklyn Chinese Restaurant in 1957…loads of booths, big round tables for about 100!

Dishes ordered:
Wonton Soup
Hot & Sour Soup
Fried Pork Dumplings
BBQ Spare Ribs
Egg Rolls
Roast Pork Fried Rice
General Tso’s Chicken
Shrimp With Lobster Sauce
Mu Shu Pork
Shrimp Lo Mein
Pepper Steak

…and I gotta tell you, everything was right on the money! Now I could- break things down for you, by telling you that Jeff Eats has had better Egg Rolls and Pepper Steak…and that I really enjoyed the General Tso’s Chicken and Shrimp Lo Mein- but you guys know that this food-reviewing business is purely a subjective game, what I like, you may hate and vice versa!-so let’s leave it at, I would definitely eat at Kingsburg again- because all four of us (in case you forgot- Jeff Eats, Mrs. Jeff Eats and another couple)-all agreed that the food worked, the prices were reasonable, the portions were huge, the service was pleasant and the décor when we squinted our eyes (no pun or insult intended) made us feel like we were back in a Brooklyn Chinese restaurant in 1957!

You can check menu/prices at kingsurgfl.com.

Kingsburg Asian Cuisine is open Monday-Saturday 11am-10pm, Sunday 11am-9:30pm (I guess “they” want to get home in time to watch The Good Wife).

***** Granger’s Grille, 802 Southeast 5th Avenue, Delray Beach, Florida 33483, (561) 276-7881.

Do you guys know what scarily good means? Well, Granger’s Grille in Delray Beach is scarily good.

Real quick story…

Hole in the wall with scarily good American-Style food located at 215 Northeast 6th Avenue, Delray Beach after 23 years was forced to move- because the landlord sold the building it was in. A few months later (January, 2017) the “former” hole in the wall re-opened 3-times larger at 892 Southeast 5th Avenue, Delray Beach serving the same scarily good American-Style food!

All Jeff Eats can tell you guys, is that if you’re into absolutely dynamite burgers/ wings/ bbq ribs/ fried zucchini/ onion rings/ French fries/ tuna salad/ chili/ fried chicken/ onion soup/ meatloaf so-on and so forth, portions that could choke a horse, super reasonable prices and a staff that can’t do enough for you- Granger’s Grille is a must try for you!

You can check menu/info at grangersgrille.com.

Granger’s Grille is open Sunday noon-8pm, Monday-Friday 11:00am-9:30pm.

Jeff Eats has been eating at Granger’s for years and I gotta tell you, the joint’s food always kills!…great burgers, wings, meatloaf, barbecue ribs, salads, onion rings, soups, French fries, sandwiches- you name it- and this no frills American-Style hole in the wall-makes it just right!

***** Granger’s Bar & Grill, 215 NE 6th Avenue, Delray Beach Florida (561) 276-7881.

Granger’s is a 38 seat bar-grill located on Federal Highway. The joint has something like 10 seats at the bar and a handful of booths and tables…one waitress-one busgirl-3 in the kitchen and that’s the whole shooting match. By the way, the waitress and busgirl are also the bartenders. The bathrooms are out-houses in the parking lot.

Granger’s food is absolutely great. Appetizers, burgers, salads, main dishes everything is delicious. How that little kitchen bangs out so much delicious food is beyond me, but in the 30-40 times that I have eaten at Granger’s everything was right on the money.

I am telling you, that this little joint is a MUST for you. Wear tee shirt/shorts so you don’t look stupid. The joint is open Monday-Saturday for lunch and dinner. The prices are also dirt cheap and if you are there on a Saturday Night you have to try the brick of meatloaf that is one of this joint’s specialities.

From the outside, Granger’s looks like a D U M P. Try it, you will love it.

It’s not just you: Everything really is getting more expensive
by Nathaniel Meyersohn @CNNMoney
May 18, 2018: 4:20 PM ET

The era of easy money is over
You’re not imagining things: Prices are creeping up.
Americans want to buy more stuff, and businesses are rushing to meet demand.
Unemployment is below 4% for the first time in 17 years, wages are slowly inching up, and consumers are spending money on clothes, furniture, and cars. At the same time, elevated labor, transportation and commodity costs are pinching their profit margins.

Both consumers and producers are feeling the squeeze from a healthy US economy. After years of low inflation, prices rose 1.9% in March from a year ago, according to the Federal Reserve’s favored inflation measuring stick.
Consumer prices were up 2.1% in April from a year ago, while suppliers paid 2.6% more.
Auto loans are getting more expensive because the Federal Reserve is gradually raising interest rates. The 30-year fixed-rate mortgage has moved to a seven-year high above 4.6%, according to Freddie Mac.
Dozens of companies in recent weeks have said they already hiked prices or plan to in the coming months to combat inflation.

Deere (DE) said on Friday that it would raise prices for its equipment because of higher material and freight costs.
McDonald’s (MCD) and Chipotle (CMG) have raised burger and burrito prices. Amazon (AMZN) is increasing Prime memberships by 20%. Netflix made monthly subscription prices 10% higher late last year.
Tyson Foods (TSN) is planning to make Ball Park hot dogs more expensive, while Stanley Black & Decker (SWH) will hike the prices of their industrial tools.
“We’re in business to make money, and in order to do that, we have to achieve price increases to offset some of that inflation,” Stanley Black & Decker’s CEO said last month.
Oil prices crossed $70 a barrel for the first time in more than three years. Americans are experiencing it at the pump: A gallon of gas is $2.91 — 24% higher than a year ago.
Related: What Trump’s Iran decision means for oil and gas prices
Higher oil prices will also eat into companies’ margins, which could lead them to pass off the costs to consumers. Paint, chemical, consumer products and packaged food companies all depend on crude oil to produce and package their goods. Airlines, trucking, and railroad firms need fuel for transportation.
Oil is American Airlines’ (AAL) second largest expense, making air travel costlier for the company. That will trickle down to customers: “I would expect you would see higher fares,” American’s CEO said last month.

Freight costs are climbing. There aren’t enough truck drivers right now to haul all the products manufacturers are churning out around the country. That has sent shipping costs soaring.
“Any company whose product ends up on a truck is going to feel it big time,” said Peter Boockvar, chief investment officer at Bleakley Advisory Group. “If anyone is going to be affected by rising freight costs, it’s going to be Amazon. Raising Prime is a way of offsetting that.”
Steel and aluminum prices are also going up, a concern for consumers. Campbell Soup (CPB) said on Friday that it expected double-digit increases in the two.

Trucker shortage could mean more expensive goods

“A lot of that driven — or all of it driven by the impact of anticipated tariffs,” Campbell’s chief financial officer told analysts.
In the past, Campbell could charge consumers more, but intense competition between Amazon, Walmart (WMT), Kroger (KR) and other top grocers and retailers could soften the blow to Americans’ wallets.
Kroger said in March that it sacrificed lower margins to keep vegetable and meat price tags down, while Walmart reported Wednesday that cheaper prices dented profit.
Household care manufacturers such as Procter & Gamble (PG) and Kimberly-Clark (KMB) have struggled to retain their pricing power against the pressure from retailers. P&G’s prices fell 2% last quarter from the year prior, while Kimberly Clark’s dropped 1%.
