* Win A $50 Carvel Gift Card.

This is a real good one…trust Jeff Eats when I tell you- 50 bucks in a Carvel can do some real serious damage!

Real simple story, Jeff Eats got a $50 Carvel Gift Card to give to one of you guys!

The game- the first 10 “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!

***** Carvel, 9176 Glades Road, Boca Raton, Florida 33431, (561) 394-0411.

Jeff Eats is gonna take a shot here- I’m thinking that you guys know what Carvel is…if you don’t, it’s “Google Time.” By the way, if you have to Google- while you’re researching also checkout the term Flying Saucer!

Anyway,

For the record, down here in South Florida its-always been a very close toss-up for me between Carvel and Dairy Queen and I do mean REALCLOSE. Just in case we go on The Newlywed Game tv-show together, Dairy Queen is the pick, but like I just said 2 seconds ago it’s real close.

Anyway,

Last night around 8:15pm I picked up 2 six packs of Vanilla/Chocolate Flying Saucers ($10.59) and by 8:56pm there were only 7 left. Now, you mathematicians out there can solve the equation- If Mrs. Jeff Eats ate 1 Flying Saucer, how many Flying Saucers did Farmer Jeff Eats eat?

Let me wrap this up for you…

If you are in the mood for top notch soft serve and scooped ice cream- Carvel will definitely get the job done for you.

Although I have never physically counted them- Jeff Eats knows that there are loads of Carvel stores in South Florida. You can check carvel.com for locations/other info.

Finally,

While writing this “review” I’m thinking that Dairy Queen and Carvel are sort of like Coke and Pepsi- not so sure on how Jeff Eats would do in a “blind taste test.” What I do know is that Dennis the Menace was one of my favorite tv shows and I still love the comic strip. For those of you not “following”” the Dennis the Menace references- “GOGGLE TIME.”

Trust Jeff Eats on this one, this joint’s food is absolutely off the chart delicious!

The only problem I got with Toasted is that it’s in Winter Park and Jeff Eats’ abode is in Boca Raton- not exactly a 10 minute drive!

Like I said 2-seconds ago, Toasted’s food is off the chart delicious!

***** Toasted, 1945 Aloma Avenue, Winter Park, Florida 32792, (407) 960-3922.

Jeff Eats knows that you guys know…that I’ve been “to” a ton of restaurants down here in Sunny Florida. Remember that movie “Ground Hog Day”?–when you have eaten in as many Chinese, sub and pizza joints as I have– they literally all run together…for sure, every so often “one” looks different and there is a “stand-out” –but by and large, Ground Hog Day!

Anyway…

Jeff Eats recently had lunch at Toasted in Winter Park. This hole in the wall- order at/pick up at the counter–describes itself as…

“Toasted restaurant specializes in crafted grilled cheese sandwiches, burgers and natural cut fries, served in an effortless, fast casual dining environment. Toasted is the first to bring the best grilled sandwiches to Orlando and the Central Florida area. We also offer a full Vegetarian and Vegan menu, packed with specialty Vegan grilled cheese and burgers featuring our house made vegan cheese.”–and I gotta tell you, that I absolutely loved its food/décor/service…trust me, I won’t forget this joint!

You can check menu/prices/photos/other info at www.igettaosted.com.

In a nutshell, Toasted makes all kinds of grilled cheese sandwiches, burgers, with a handful of salads/soups/sides.

Jeff Eats’ lunch-outing had me doing- “The 101” which is cheddar and tomato for 5 bucks, “The Classic” which is a beef burger/cheddar/lettuce tomato for 5 bucks, fries for 2 bucks and mac & cheese for 2 1/2 bucks…and like I said 6 seconds ago, I absolutely loved the food. For what it’s worth, every item was off the chart.

Toasted is a WINNER!

Toasted is open 7 days a week 11am-9:30pm.

***** Kit Kats With Black Coffee!

Earlier this week- caught a load of Kit Kats while- trick or treating!

You guys ever try refrigerated Kit Kats with black coffee? Me neither, that is until this morning!

Pretty, pretty, pretty good!

Now, just so we are straight with each other- this Kit Kat Coffee thing is in addition to- the toasted everything or onion or sesame or pumpernickel with a schmear that “you” normally start your day off with!

While Jeff Eats is on the subject of bagels, checkout Bagel City South in Boca Raton- no bs here, I’m thinking about as close to a real New York bagel as there is down here in Florida!

Bagel City South (Boca Raton)
Posted on February 22nd, 2008.

***** Bagel City South–6006 SW 18th Street, Boca Raton, Florida 33433–(561) 393-5383

Bagel City South makes some of the best New York styled bagels and bialys in South Florida. The stuff is made the old fashioned way, that being hand rolled, boiled and then oven baked.

The joint is open 7 days a week for breakfast and lunch. Great place for appetizing, burgers, deli, eggs and of course those fantastic bagels/bialys.

Sassy waitresses and talkative countermen add to the New York flavor. This is a real good one.

Real simple tale to tell you, Jeff Eats is thinking- that Tucci’s Fire N Coal Pizza is one of the best coal-oven pizza joints in Florida.

No bs-here, its salads, pizzas, pastas and entrees are all- off the chart- and I really can’t think of another Florida coal oven joint that makes better coal oven wings.

Tucci’s is an absolute must try.

Jeff Eats can’t even begin to imagine- that you won’t love this joint!

Posted on May 15th, 2009 · Boca Raton Italian Pizza

***** Tucci’s Fire N Coal Pizza, 50 Northeast 1st Avenue, Boca Raton, Florida 33432 (561) 620-2930.

Regular, Jeff Eats’ readers know that…I love a good pizza. I don’t care if it’s brick-oven, wood oven, coal oven, this oven or that oven…just as long as it tastes good. You also do know that I speak fluent Italian…”Give me two slices and a large Coke.”…don’t you? Over the past 3-years or so, South Florida has been “hit” with a ton of new pizza joints which play the “coal oven-chicken wings” card…guys like Anthony’s, Coal Mine, Carolina’s, Mona Lisa, just to name a few…and by in large, they are all pretty decent… of course, some are better than others…that’s why Jeff Eats is here.

Anyway…last night, I gave Tucci’s Fire N Coal Pizza in Boca Raton a shot. The joint which has been open for something like 3 months… has indoor seating for about 50 and maybe 10 outside. The menu has 4 appetizers, chicken wings, escarole & beans, eggplant rollatini and sauteed broccoli rabe & sausage…2 salads, Italian and caesar…loads of coal/wood cooked pizzas…2 desserts, cheesecake and cannoli…beer and soda by the bottle.

Let’s make this review easy. I had an Italian salad, margherita/ricotta pizza, chicken wings. The food was delicious. The salad was cold, fresh, crisp… The chicken wings were seasoned with garlic and carmalize onion, The pizza was thin crusted, crisp, perfectly well-done, right on the money sweet sauce…As for service, pleasant as can be…Price-wise, small wings (10) $9.95, salad which could have feed 3 ($10.95), pizzas–depending on what you order (that’s obvious) start at- small ($13.95)-large ($17.95).

Tucci’s Fire N Coal Pizza is a really good coal-oven pizza/chicken joint. I enjoyed its food and casual “hole in the wall” atmosphere. By the way, you can check Tucci’s menu/prices at www.tuccispizza.com.

Tucci’s is open for lunch & dinner Tuesday-Sunday…the joint is closed on Monday.

VoicePlay

As Seen on Season 4 of NBC’s “The Sing-Off”.

Original. Imaginative. Ridiculous. Origimagidiculous.

Based in Orlando, FL, VoicePlay performs their own incredible brand of entertainment across the country and around the world. What began quite literally as a street corner barbershop act has now evolved into an internationally acclaimed touring sensation.

VoicePlay is unlike any theatrical experience available today, recreating the orchestrated sound of an entire musical production with nothing but the the human voice.

The cast of VoicePlay has taken the timeless sound of vocal music and turned it completely on it’s head. Re-imagined as a full stage show, amazing, humorous, and vertigo-inducing harmonies pepper VoicePlay’s music-without-music sound as it ping-pongs between eras and styles, channeling the breadth of the musical landscape and lacing it with inventive and often hilarious on-stage theatrics.

Fit for all ages, VoicePlay’s recordings and concerts are an impossible to miss hit which have to be heard to be believed.
