***** The Carhop Classic.

Jeff Eats just (1:30pm) “did” a $2.99 Carhop Classic at Sonic, 6250 Lake Worth Road, Greenacres, Florida 33463, (561) 965-3800 and I gotta tell you guys that it was $2.99 well spent!

The Carhop Classic proves- that you don’t have to go for your lungs to eat good!

Sonic pairs its cheeseburger (normally priced at $3) with an order of onion rings for the new Carhop Classic meal deal for $2.99. Sonic’s cheeseburger includes a quarter-pound beef patty, sliced tomatoes, chopped onions, shredded lettuce, cheese, crinkle-cut cheese and a choice of mustard, mayo, and/or ketchup on a toasted bakery-style bun. Sonic’s onion rings are breaded and handmade daily. For you guys not into onion rings, some locations will substitute medium fries or Tots for onion rings upon request. You can find the value-priced special at participating locations for a limited time.

You guys can check menu/prices/locations/info at sonicdrivein.com.

* My Three Sons!

Hopefully we are done with these hurricanes…

Enjoy the cute story below- and let’s get back to finding new joints to stuff our faces at…

A father told each of his 3 sons when he sent them off to college, “I feel it’s my duty to provide you with the best possible education, and you do not owe me anything for that. However, I want you to appreciate it. As a token, please each put $1,000 into my coffin when I die.”
And so it happened. His sons became a doctor, a lawyer and a financial planner, each very successful financially. When their father’s time had come, and they saw their father in the coffin, they remembered his wish.
First, the doctor put 10 newly printed crisp $100 bills onto the chest of the deceased.
Then, the financial planner also put $1,000 there in 20 newly printed crisp $50 bills.
Finally, it was the heartbroken lawyer’s turn. He reached into his pocket, took out his checkbook, wrote a check for $3,000, put it into his father’s coffin, and took the $2,000 cash.
The lawyer is now running for Congress.

* Happy New Year!

Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats wish each and everyone of you guys, a happy, healthy and successful Jewish New Year!

***** DISH OF THE WEEK (Sunday-9/17/17- Ming’s Bistro).

One of Jeff Eats’ favorite menu items…

EVERYTHING

Ming’s Bistro
1212 Woodward Street
Orlando
(407) 898-9672

Latest Review: 10/2/14

Ming’s Bistro was real good in 2014…Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats’ recent 2017 Ming’s Bistro dinner was off the chart delicious!

Jeff Eats would be doing Ming’s Bistro a huge disservice by just singling out dishes like its bbq beef ribs ($12.95) or for that matter its sweet & sour chicken ($10.95) for special mention!

Trust Jeff Eats when I tell you- this joint’s food absolutely kills!

Ming’s Bistro (Orlando)
Posted on October 2nd, 2014

***** Ming’s Bistro, 1212 Woodward Street, Orlando, Florida 32803, (407) 898-9672.

Got a real-good Chinese joint for you guys…Ming’s Bistro in Orlando.

Now, Jeff Eats maybe a bit presumptuous here-but I’m thinking… that if you like dim sum, or American Jewish Brooklyn Chinese Food circa 1957, or “real” Chinese food-you’re gonna enjoy Ming’s Bistro.

Just so you know, Ming’s doesn’t have a website to check menu/prices, but trust me, its got a ton of stuff for you guys to eat–all at neighborhood Chinese joint prices.

The joint does have the requisite no frills “décor”-lots of “red signage”- hanging roast pigs and ducks- oil cloth/tablecloths-waitresses who “make” like they don’t understand you, etc.

Anyway,

A recent dinner outing had Jeff Eats, Mrs. Jeff Eats and another couple- “trying”- wonton soup, fried shrimp balls, baked bbq pork buns, roast pork fried rice, bbq pork ribs, beef chow fun, sweet & sour chicken, roast duck, fried sesame balls, seafood pan fried noodles, pepper steak, egg custard tart. Everything was right on the money!

Ming’s Bistro is a real good joint to know about. Like it says at the “top” it’s in Orlando-so if you live in that neck of the woods- definitely give it a shot! For you folks from out of the area, the next time you’re doing Disney, Universal, Sea World–skip the chains and do this mom & pop.

Ming’s is open 7 days a week 10:30am-9:30pm.

This contest started on 9/7/17. This contest has a winner.

* Win 2 Tickets: Pompano Beach Winter Concert Series: Tribute To The Temptations by Motown in Motion

Jeff Eats got 2 tickets to give to one of you guys to see- Tribute To The Temptations by Motown in Motion- Wednesday, January 24, 2018 7:30 pm-at the E. Pat Larkins Community Center, 520 Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard, Pompano Beach, Florida 33069, Just so you know, the 2-seats are right next to Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats’ seats!

The game- the first 30 “reader-comments” received – will be entered in a “blind hat pick”! You can submit as many comments as you’d like but- Please, only 1- reader comment – per day…play fair!

As an added kicker, prior to the show the winner (2) will be Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats’ guest for dinner at La Veranda…

Posted on July 19th, 2008 · Italian Pompano Beach

***** La Veranda, 2121 East Atlantic Boulevard, Pompano Beach, Florida 33433 (954) 943-7390.

La Veranda is a white-table-cloth Southern Italian joint that isn’t full of itself. I am not sure how long La Veranda has been in business, but I am going to guess 20+ years. Just so you know, indoor/out door patio seating- full liquor bar area.

La Veranda’s food is delicious…Over the years I have eaten in this joint something like 10 times…lobster fra diavlo worth killing over. The veal parmigiana, chicken marsala and the shrimp scampi ain’t bad either. Very good wait-staff. No more expensive than your favorite neighborhood red sauce joint.

Like I said, this is a white-table-cloth joint…but your tee shirt/shorts/flip flop “outfit” works!

La Veranda is open Tuesday-Sunday for dinner. It has an absolutely enormous following, so be smart and make a reservation.

* Marty Allen & Karon Kate Blackwell.

Now don’t take this the wrong way- Jeff Eats has been in love with- legendary comedian Marty Allen for over 53 years.

Real simple, this Marty Allen & Karon Kate Blackwell (she’s Marty’s wife) show is the must see show-of 2018!

Last Spring, Jeff Eats saw Marty Allen & Karon Kate Blackwell and Marty at age 95 (he’ll be 96 in March, 2018) was/is as brilliant and funny as he was when I first caught the Allen “bug”- watching Marty and his partner Steve Rossi open for The Beatles on The Ed Sullivan Show in February, 1964.
