***** Pete’s Place, 1760 North Jog Road, West Palm Beach, Florida 33411, (561) 641-6543.

You regular Jeff Eats’ readers know that I am a huge-fan of “mom & pop” diners. For sure there is nothing wrong with the IHOPs and Perkins of this world- but all things being equal, I’d rather give my money to the “moms & pops” who own neighborhood diners and bust their asses each and every day to make a living- feeding guys like you and me!

Anyway, yesterday Jeff Eats and three buddies ate breakfast at a “mom & popper” named Pete’s Place in West Palm Beach- that blew all of us away.

Standard booths and tables- no frills decor, pleasant service, menu loaded with breakfast stuff/ salads/ sandwiches/ burgers/ entrees/ desserts, reasonably priced off the chart delicious food!

Let me wrap Pete’s Place up for you guys by saying- that this joint is an absolute must try! No bs- it’s really-really that good! You can check menu/prices/info at petesplace1.com. Pete’s Place is open Saturday/Monday-Thursday 6am-3pm, Friday 6am-9pm, Sunday 7am-2:30PM.

And the story kicker, there are two other Pete’s Places- Greenacres and Coral Springs (check petesplace1.com for locations/info/menu/prices.

***** Edy’s Expresso Chip Ice Cream & Edy’s Neapolitan Ice Cream.

Yesterday at- Publix Super Market, 3003 Yamato Road, Boca Raton, Florida 33434, (561) 241-5005 Jeff Eats found a great way to get into a 51 Long Man’s Suit- $5.95 BOGO!

Just between you guys and Jeff Eats, both Expresso Chip and Neapolitan are dynamite flavors- but trust me, as a long time Edy’s fan- Edy’s has plenty of other flavors that are also off the chart delicious that will also- get you to the “promised suit size Land.”

By the way if any of you guys “think” that Jeff Eats is talking about going from a size 52 (or higher) Long Man’s Suit down to a 51 Long Man’s Suit- I’m kinda thinking you don’t get my sense of humor!

* Internet Presale- Poison with special guest Cheap Trick.

Other than Cheap Trick not too much interest here!

* Giuseppe’s Cafe, 67 South Federal Highway, Boca Raton, Floria 33432, (561) 235-5039.

In recent weeks, Jeff Eats has been hearing some absolutely dynamite things about a “mom & pop” (actually in this case- a husband & wife) hole in the wall Italian joint- named Giuseppe’s Cafe in Boca Raton.

I haven’t eaten there yet, but I have walked by-the-joint several times and “hole in the wall” is being kind…maybe 6 tables and a few display cases for gelato and various baked goods!

Jeff Eats got plans to eat there in the near future, but in the mean time- I’m kinda thinking that some of you guys might like to check out this joint which supposedly serves up amazingly delicious salads, sandwiches, paninis, pastas, entrees, gelato and desserts!

* The Last Movie Star- starring Burt Reynolds.

Jeff Eats the movie critic- is telling you guys that you gotta see The Last Movie Star starring Burt Reynolds which is currently playing in Florida movie theaters as well as being available on many cable companies’ pay-per-view systems.

This movie has to rank right up there with Reynolds’ best starring roles!

Last night- Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats saw The Last Movie Star and once again I’m telling you guys- you gotta see this movie!

Vic Edwards (Burt Reynolds) was the biggest star in Hollywood, a college football legend turned stunt double turned leading man. Now, in his eighties, he’s convinced by an old friend (Chevy Chase) to accept an invitation to receive a Lifetime Achievement award at a two-bit film festival in Nashville. The trip launches him on both a hilarious fish-out-of-water adventure and an unexpectedly poignant journey into his past.
