***** Pizza Bar, 1627 Collins Avenue, Miami Beach, Florida 33139, (305) 672-6880.

For all you guys out there looking for off the chart delicious New York Style Pizza (thin crispy crust, sweet sauce, loads of gooey cheese, oil drip when the slice is pointed down) you gotta checkout- Pizza Bar in Miami Beach. Real simple concept at work there- order/pickup at the counter, humongous slices/ subs/ salads/ wings/ stromboli/ other stuff, counter seating, handful of tables inside/ outside, open Monday-Wednesday 11am-2am, Thursday 11am-3:59am. Menu/prices/info at pizzabar.com.

Long story short, last night- Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats tried this joint and it blew us away. No bs- Pizza Bar’s pizza easily matched up against some of the best New York slices we’ve “enjoyed” over the past 60+ years in the 5- boroughs!

Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats also “did” a Greek salad and like the pizza it- was right on the money!

By the way, Pizza Bar’s wings and subs looked dynamite- so Jeff Eats is kinda thinking that Pizza Bar isn’t just a one trick pony- with the pizza! The next time Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats are at Pizza Bar, we’ll do some wings and subs, so we’ll know for sure!

Subs or no subs, wings or no wings- based on its pizza alone- Pizza Bar is an absolute must try!

***** Meaney’s Mini Donuts, 201 Canal Road, Siesta Key , Florida 34242, (941) 301-9614.

For our purposes let’s call Meaney’s Mini Donuts an off the chart terrific- hot freshly made fried donuts, soft serve ice cream, hot dog, walk-up/no seating- stand that’s open 7 days a week 8am-9pm.

Can’t think of even one single thing that- comes close to being wrong with this joint!

Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats “found” Meaney’s Mini Donuts a couple of weeks ago…

Meaney’s Mini Donuts is an absolute must try!

Latest Review: 11/20/15

Jeff Eats has been getting stuff from “take-out only” Chef Tai’s for something like 10 years.

Over the years, I’ve ordered tons of things like- egg rolls, bbq ribs, pan fried dumplings, roast pork fried rice, sweet & sour pork, pepper steak and I gotta tell you guys, I can’t recall even one outing where the food didn’t work!

If you live, work or play in Chef Tai’s Boca Raton neighborhood, this is a real good joint to know about when your’e looking for delicious Brooklyn Jewish American Chinese Food circa 1957!

Was just by Federal Highway and Yamato Road and saw a huge tractor-trailer unloading a shipment of cars- all with New York license plates.

Christmas Day 2014 + 2 Reformed Jews formerly from Brooklyn = Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats giving the nod to Chef Tai’s this year.

If you don’t know what I’m talking about here, I give up!

Jeff Eats’ 11/30/2010 Chef Tai’s “review” is reprinted down below.

For those of you who may not be familiar with Chef Tai’s…it’s a “mom & pop” takeout only Chinese joint, located in a big old-huge crappy strip center and it makes delicious stuff.

Chef Tai’s is a Chinese takeout-only joint in Boca Raton…surprise-surprise (courtesy Gomer Pyle), it is located in a “bombed-out” shopping center- that you probably wouldn’t drive into in a million years. That said…Chef Tai’s makes some delicious stuff. I heard about Chef Tai’s about 5 months ago– have gotten food four times…haven’t been disappointed even once.

Delicious- egg rolls, fried dumplings, bbq ribs, general tso’s chicken, roast pork fried rice, shrimp with black bean sauce, pepper steak.

You can check menu/prices at www.bocamenus.com.

Based on Jeff Eat’s patent-pending “Brooklyn Chinese Food Taste Test”- I gotta give Chef Tai’s a top-notch rating. Trust me on this, the food is really good.

Chef Tai’s is open Monday-Saturday 11am-9pm, closed on Sunday

***** Kona Bay Cafe, 310 East Ocean Avenue, Lantana, Florida 33462, (561) 429-3606.

For our purposes we’re gonna call Kona Bay Cafe “an out of sight, out of mind” joint…

Long story short, way-back on 8/31/10 Jeff Eats told you guys about Kona Bay Cafe a “breakfast-lunch” joint in Lantana. The truth be told, Jeff Eats hadn’t been back since! How Come? Not really sure!

Anyway, yesterday afternoon Jeff Eats, Mrs. Jeff Eats and another couple did an early lunch there- and I gotta tell you, the food killed and I’m kinda regretting that I pulled “an out of sight, out of mind” on the Kona Bay Cafe! Now no promises, but I’m gonna do my best to remember the joint for future breakfast-lunch outings!

***** Kona Bay Cafe, 310 East Ocean Avenue, Lantana, Florida 33462, (561) 429-3606.

Kona Bay Cafe is a super casual-beachy decor “breakfast-lunch” joint…that has counter & inside table /outside patio seating. Check www.konabaycafe.com for menu/prices and pictures that will “tell” you exactly what this joint looks like. Bathing suits are considered dresswear.

On the food front…nice, but not overly large-selection of breakfast-stuff (which is served all day). The lunch menu (like the breakfast menu, not overly large) has salads, wraps, sandwiches. A recent breakfast had me doing…a short stack of apple cinnamon pancakes ($4.95), a short stack of chocolate chip pancakes ($4.45), strawberry stuffed French toast ($6.45), western omelete ($7.95)—everything was just right.

Kona Bay is open 7 days a week for breakfast & lunch.
