Trader Joe’s- Everything but the Bagel Seasoned Crackers (Delray Beach)

Posted on January 8th, 2024 · American Breakfast Delray Beach Fast Food · 9 Comments »

Trader Joe’s- Everything but the Bagel Seasoned Crackers.

Simple story to tell, yesterday while shopping at Trader Joe’s, 1851 South Federal Highway, Delray Beach, Florida 33483, 561-278-1493, I “discovered” this 10oz box of Everything but the Bagel Seasoned Crackers ($2.99) and decided to take a shot!

Now you guys know, that this food “reviewing” gig is purely a subjective call- what Jeff Eats may like, you may hate and vice versa! With that in mind, I found these crackers to be literally flavorless! My trained palate, told me that I was eating lightly salted crunchy cardboard!

* Mooyah Burgers, Fries & Shakes.

Jeff Eats is thinking that most of you guys have never heard of Mooyah Burgers, Fries & Shakes. If I’m wrong on this, Je suis désolé.

Real simple tale, fast food/order at-pickup at the counter/burger/fries/shake chain. When you check mooyah.com you guys are gonna find that for right now- Mooyah has no Florida joints- a gazillion in Texas and tons in a bunch of other states.

Jeff Eats has eaten in Mooyah’s West Hartford, Connecticut joint and I am telling you, that its burgers, fries and shakes are off the chart good!

Just wanted to let you guys know that Mooyah has 2 Miami locations in the works… 13725 Southwest 152nd Street and 8750 Northwest 21st Terrace- best guess-after visiting both sites (if the respective City Building Departments don’t bust Mooyah’s franchisee’s balls- too much)- the joints should open sometime during the next 4 months…

When Mooyah Burgers, Fries Shakes opens- you gotta try its stuff!

***** Ah-Beetz New Haven Pizza, 15200 South Jog Road, Unit A3, Delray Beach, Florida 33446, (561) 908-2466.

Got an absolutely dynamite coal fired pizza joint for you guys to checkout, Ah-Beetz New Haven Pizza in Delray Beach.

Real simple tale to tell, last week Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats “discovered” (1 eat-in/ 1- takeout) Ah-Beetz New Haven Pizza (which opened something like 3 months ago) and its food totally- blew us away! The no-frills joint has 2- tables (for 4) inside and a handful of tables outside. Reasonably priced pizzas/ calzones/ salads/ wings menu.

Now, you guys know, or should know by know- that this food reviewing “gig” is purely a subjective call…what I like, you may hate and vice versa!

With that in mind, I gotta tell you that the coal oven-pizzas/ calzone/ chicken wings, salads that we ordered- rank right-up there with the best that we’ve eaten here in Florida!

Trust Jeff Eats when I tell you, Ah-Beetz New Haven Pizza is an absolute must try joint!

You guys can check menu/prices/info at ah-beetz.com.

Ah-Beetz New Haven Pizza is open Tuesday-Saturday 11am-9pm/ Sunday 1pm-8pm, closed on Monday.

***** Frank Pepe Pizzeria Napoletana, 1071 South Federal Highway, Delray Beach, Florida 33483, (561) 431-5601.

Got a real good coal fired oven pizza joint for you guys to checkout, Frank Pepe Pizzeria Napoletana in Delray Beach.

Simple tale to tell, yesterday Jeff Eats, Mrs. Jeff Eats and two other couples “discovered” Frank Pepe Pizzeria Napoletana in Delray Beach and its food was right on the money! For you guys who maybe wondering, yes- Frank Pepe Pizzeria Napoletana in Delray Beach is owned by the same Pepe Family who in 1925 opened the now legendary Frank Pepe Pizzeria Napoletana in New Haven, Connecticut!

Inside table & booth seating/outside covered patio table seating, reasonably priced coal fired oven pizzas/ salads/ desserts/ beer/ wine/ Foxon Park sodas menu.


Let’s wrap-up Frank Pepe Pizzeria Napoletana by saying, if you’re not into coal fired oven pizza-this joint is not going to work for you, the joint’s pizzas were real good! Jeff Eats doesn’t know if Delray Beach’s pizza is as good/better/worse than New Haven’s pizza because he has never been to the original location, that the joint is open 7-days a week 11am-10pm, that you can check menu/prices/other locations (Yes, Virginia there are others) at pepespizzeria.com.

***** Rainbow Palace, 2787 Oakland Park Boulevard, Fort Lauderdale, Florida 33306, (954) 565-5652.

House of Chan, if you like, you can go and “look” it up.

Suffice it to say, in the 1950s-1960s-1970s, the House of Chan located at 52nd Street and 7th Avenue, NYC- was one of America’s most famous upscale Chinese restaurants.

Old history (isn’t all history old?), Jeff Eats’ father had a “business” house account, so Jeff Eats, his brother, father and mother–enjoyed a number of meals at the House of Chan.

The House of Chan had fabulous food. The House of Chan had superb service. The House of Chan had a fabulous management team. The House of Chan had “style.”

No question in my mind, those House of Chan outings-shaped Jeff Eats’ thoughts on what upscale-dining is “suppose” to be.

Long story short,

The Rainbow Palace has fabulous food. The Rainbow Palace has superb service. The Rainbow Palace has a top shelf management team. The Rainbow Palace has “style.”

If you want TOP NOTCH CHINESE FOOD, TOP NOTCH UPSCALE SERVICE, A RESTAURANT WITH STYLE then get yourself over to the Rainbow Palace in Fort Lauderdale.

For those of you wondering as to what Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats “had”-house wonton soup, crispy steak, sesame chicken, chef’s fried rice.

For what it’s worth,

Both Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats found the food off the chart-but please keep in mind that you and us-Eats may-be polar opposites- on what constitutes good-great-lousy etc. That’s why Jeff Eats and you should never bet the farm on what some “critic” has to say about any particular restaurant or dish.

Anyway,

Jeff Eats thought the food was terrific…

By the way, Rainbow’s prices aren’t exactly cheap. Just a word to the wise, the joint’s portions are large- so figure on sharing stuff- and don’t over order,

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

Rainbow Palace is open Sunday-Wednesday 5pm-10pm, Thursday noon-3pm & 5pm-10pm, Friday noon-3pm & 5pm-11pm, Saturday 5pm-11pm.

One final thought on this “food reviewing” thing…

How many times have you asked a total stranger who was leaving a movie theatre “What he or she thought about a picture?” See where Jeff Eats is going with this? As my Uncle Sam Ting (by marriage to my father’s sister) use to say

Was just by- Yamato Road & 441 in Boca Raton. Saw a gigantic tractor-trailer “unloading” a ton of cars- all with New York license plates!

***** Gary Woo Express, 9874 Yamato Road, Boca Raton, Florida 33434, (561) 483-8889.

Got an absolutely terrific Chinese-takeout joint for you…Gary Woo Express in Boca Raton.

Just so you know, Jeff Eats originally “reviewed” this joint on August 19, 2009…suffice it to say, I loved its food back in 2009. Anyway, about 8 months ago new owners took over and to their credit, the food they are “banging-out” is even better than the original stuff. Trust me on this one, Gary Woo Express is right up there with the best Chinese restaurants that Jeff Eats has tried down here in South Florida.

When you check menu/prices at www.garywooexpress.com- in addition to loads of Chinese stuff you will find a huge Japanese menu. For the record, Jeff Eats, didn’t try any of the Japanese items, but if the Japanese food is as good as the Chinese stuff was—Gary Woo Express will be a joint where you can get both-delicious Chinese and Japanese takeout. Just so you know, Gary Woo Express has a couple of tables inside and a handful outside—but this joint is basically a takeout.

Applying Jeff Eats’ 1950’s Brooklyn Jewish Taste Test…sampled items included— won ton soup, tomato egg drop soup, egg rolls, pan fried pork dumplings, bbq ribs, general tso’s chicken, sweet & sour pork, pepper steak, shrimp in lobster sauce, chicken lo mein, roast pork fried rice. The result…Gary Woo Express is one of the best Chinese-takeoout joints that Jeff Eats has tried down here in South Florida. No kidding around, every item “tried” was delicious. To be perfectly honest with you, Jeff Eats’ original plan was to put the “dishes” in some sort of pecking order- but they were all dynamite–so I’ didn’t bother. For you wise-guys out there, No!–Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats didn’t eat “all” that food all by ourselves in one sitting…The fact of the matter, the taste test was conducted in 2-parts…some of the food was picked-up on a Thursday night and some was picked up on Saturday night—so there!

If I got one bitch here, I found the prices a drop- on the high side. No big deal–no second job needed…but the prices were definitely higher than the local competition.

Before I run…if you decide to try Gary Woo Express–when you get to the joint, you’ll find a “menu-rack” outside the front door. The takeout menus in the rack–have coupons and you can use them “right away”— Now that I’m thinking, the coupon that I used saved me 10% off my entire order. The point of all this yapping—use the coupons to off-set the higher-prices I detected.

Gary Woo Express was a “huge” find.

I am telling you, this joint is right up there with best of breed.

Gary Woo Express is open Monday-Friday 11am-10pm and Saturday-Sunday 2pm-10pm.
