If this joint was closer to Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats’ Boca Raton abode- we would be real steady customers!

By the way, Chung Wah’s- Honey Garlic Chicken Wings ($12.99 10 wings) was a close runner-up for Dish Of The Week shoutout!

***** Chung Wah Chinese Restaurant, 190 Northeast 119th Street, Miami, Florida 33161, (305) 758-8887.

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.

Got a real good sub joint for you guys to check-out, Albelo’s Sub Shop in Ocala.

Real simple tale to tell, yesterday afternoon Jeff Eats and three business associates ate lunch at Albelo’s Sub Shop and its food absolutely killed! Inside table seating, order-pickup at counter, reasonably priced hot & cold subs/ salads/ quesadillas/ specialty fries/ desserts menu.

Just between you guys and me, Albelo’s Sub Shop is playing at a whole-other level than most of Florida’s sub joints. Personally, I’d rank it as one of the best that I’ve been to!

Let’s wrap-up Albelo’s Sub Shop by saying that the joint is an absolute must try, that you can check menu/prices/info at ALBELOSSUBS@GMAIL.COM and that it is open Monday-Saturday 10:30am-3:30pm/ closed Sunday.

Got a real good “mom & pop” diner for you guys to checkout, Ocala’s Downtown Diner in Ocala.

Real simple tale to tell, last week Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats along with real-good friends Angie and Bruno “discovered” Ocala’s Downtown Diner and the joint’s food absolutely killed! Straight up, let me tell you, the four of us are huge fans of “mom & pop” diners and Ocala’s Downtown Diner could literally be the poster child for the- concept! Inside table and counter seating, no frills decor, super pleasant service, reasonably priced All Day breakfast & lunch/vegan menus.

Let’s wrap-up Ocala’s Downtown Diner by saying, I met Bruno in September, 1970 while attending Brooklyn Law School. Since then, we have been real-good friends and both Angie and the now Mrs. Jeff Eats joined our party in 1972. Over the past 52 years, we have eaten in more “mom & pop” diners than you can shake a stick at!

If you “eat” like Jeff Eats, Mrs. Jeff Eats, Angie and Bruno do, you will absolutely positively love Ocala’s Downtown Diner which is open Monday-Saturday 6am-3pm and Sunday 8am-2pm.
