* 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

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.
