For our purposes Jeff Eats is gonna call this Yummy House story…

“A PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT”

Just so you guys don’t think that Jeff Eats has gone senile or something, I know that I’ve already told you about this joint twice (1/30/14 & 7/5/15)-all I can tell you- is that Yummy House’s food is so-good that…

Anyway,

Last night, Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats ate at the Yummy House and the egg rolls, pan fried dumplings, sesame chicken, orange pork chops, roast pork fried rice were all-off the the chart delicious.

Take it from Jeff Eats, Yummy House is an absolute must try!

Go figure!

Some of the best Cantonese Chinese food that Jeff Eats has ever eaten- is being served up by Yummy House–a “typical” mom & pop-decor Chinese joint in Tampa.

Trust Jeff Eats on this one, I’d match Yummy’s–eggrolls, wonton soup, fried dumplings, bbq ribs, kung po shrimp, hong kong roast duck, sesame chicken, orange pork chops, roast pork fried rice -up-against the best joints that I’ve eaten in/taken out-anywhere in Florida-not to mention New York City and San Francisco’s Chinatowns.

I ain’t playing here…amazing delicious food, huge portions at real reasonable prices.

Just as a point of reference, Jeff Eats knows that there are a boat-load of you guys who swear by Silver Pond in Tamarac—Yummy House’s food v. Silver Pond’s food, would be like having matched Joe Louis in his prime against your 87 year old Uncle Joey (by marriage to you Aunt Marlene) who has glaucoma in both eyes…I know, overly dramatic, but definitely not even close.

Look I know that a ton of Jeff Eats’ audience is in Dade-Broward-Palm Beach—but what is, is! I am telling you, this Yummy House joint is really in a league-of its own. Unfortunately for us (you guys and Jeff Eats), it isn’t in our backyard. But like I just said, what is, is! By the way, that “what is, is” is about 235 miles away/figure 4 hours–unless you’re flying (in a plane, that is).

So! If you live or work in Yummy’s neighborhood, you now know about a great Chinese joint.

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

Yummy House is open 7 days a week…11am-3pm, 5pm-10pm.

One final bit of housekeeping…there are 3 Yummy restaurants in Tampa and 1 -in Sarasota. They are owned by the same folks, but each has a slightly different name. For example Yummy House Bistro, Yummy Noodle House…This review is for the Waters-Tampa location. Jeff Eats has not yet tried the others-so no verdict on their respective food etc.

***** Jr’s Gourmet Burgers, 7 Westward Drive, Miami Springs, Florida 33166, (786) 360-5347.

Here’s another Jeff Eats’ “out of sight out of mind” joint for you…Jr’s Gourmet Burgers in Miami Springs.

First told you guys about this hole in the wall burger joint- on 4/9/12 (that tale is down below)- hadn’t been back since…long story short, ate dinner there last night and I gotta tell you the bacon cheeseburger, chicken breast sandwich, onion rings, sweet potato fries, french fries were all -right on the money!

This joint is an absolute winner…only problem I got with it, it’s not in my neighborhood- thus the out of sight out of mind-designation.

No fooling here, outrageously delicious burgers…

***** Jr’s Gourmet Burgers, 7 Westward Drive, Miami Springs, Florida 33166, (786) 360-5347.

First, if you look, I got this joint listed as being in Miami Lakes, but it’s really in Miami Springs…don’t have a Miami Springs “category”—so you now know the city where this terrific “mom & pop” hole-in the wall burger joint is located.

One of my favorite meals is a cheeseburger–fries smothered in Ketchup–Coca Cola. Well let me tell you, Jr’s makes delicious burgers and fries. When you check Jr’s menu at www.jrsburgers.com you will find that the joint has 3- sized flat grilled burgers, 1/3 lb, 1/2 lb, 1 lb…handful of toppings…handful of sandwiches…handful of hot dogs…handful of salads—end of story. If I got it right, the pop-Jr is the “cook” and the wife is the wait-staff.

Like I said a few seconds ago–delicious burgers and fries. For the record, I did a 1/3er with American cheese ($6.99) and fries ($1.50). Let me make this real-simple, the burger and fries are right up there with the best currently out there in the South Florida market. Really-just that simple!

Jr’s is open Monday-Thursday 11am-9pm, Saturday 11am-10pm, closed on Sunday.

Got a real good sub joint for you…Boulevard Subs-in Fort Lauderdale.

Jeff Eats knows that you guys are a smart bunch, but -just in case I’m wrong…hole in the wall/handful of tables-inside & outside/order at counter-pickup at counter/menu- loaded with cold-hot subs/sandwiches/wraps/salads.

Check blvdsubs.com for menu/prices-handful of pictures.

Boulevard Subs has been around since 1984…so I’m thinking, that just maybe its doing something right. Before I tell you what Jeff Eats “tried” subs come in 3 sizes, 6″-9″-12″ and are priced $5.90, $7.55, $9.45.

On the subs’ try-out front…I did -chicken salad, tuna salad, meatball, Philly cheesesteak, Italian (ham, salami, capicola, provolone) and I gotta tell you-Boulevard makes some real nice subs. For those of you who might be new to Jeff Eats, I’m a big eater-but trust me, I didn’t eat all of the subs by myself…just so you know, my friend Mike drove me to Boulevard Subs.

Jeff Eats really isn’t to ranking joints…you know, what I like you may not like and vice versa. That said, if Boulevard Subs was by my house I would definitely be a steady customer. For what it’s worth, I really enjoyed the soft-yet slightly crispy bread (whatever that means), the “fillings” were right on the money, the sandwiches were not skimpy, the folks running the joint were as pleasant as could be, the prices -extremely reasonable.

Not much more to tell you…other than Boulevard Subs is open Monday-Saturday 10am-3pm, closed on Sunday.

***** Football Sandwich Shop, 8484 Northeast 2nd Avenue, Miami, Florida 33138, (305) 759-3602.

Gonna let you guys in on a little secret…I’ve never met a “sub” that I didn’t love. Now for sure, there are varying degrees of love, some passoniate beyond belief and others where it’s a borderline love-hate relationship. You do know that I’m trying to be clever here, but for some reason it ain’t working…

So, let me tell you about Football Sandwich Shop in Miami…order at the counter/pickup at the counter–indoor and outdoor seating. The joint’s menu has loads of hot/cold subs, sandwiches and salads. The other day I “did” a meatball sub, chicken salad sub, philly cheesesteak sub, chicken parmesan sub and I’m going on- record right here and now, Football’s subs are right-up there with the best I’ve had in South Florida. For those who might be interested-various football terms and Miami Dolphin players’ names find their way into the sandwiches’ nomenclature. For those who might also be wondering “Did Jeff Eats eat all 4 subs?”–There were three of us and I ate the whole meatball sub and sampled the others.

Getting back to that “love” thing I started out with…I absolutely loved Football’s subs.

Football Sandwich Shop is open Monday Friday 8am-6pm, Saturday 9am-5pm, closed on Sunday.

Two great Classic Rock Bands, Vanilla Fudge and The Yardbirds together in the same night!

The Yardbirds have a long and storied history, and were part of the “British Invasion” of bands that broke out of the UK in the 1960s. They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1992 and were included in Rolling Stone’s list of the “100 Greatest Artists of All Time”, as well as VH1’s “100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock”. Their hit songs include; “For Your Love”, “Train Kept A Rollin”, “I’m A Man”, “Heart Full Of Soul”, “Evil Hearted You”, “Shapes Of Things”, “Over Under Sideways Down”, “Mister You’re A Better Man Than I”, and many more.

Vanilla Fudge was one of the first American groups to infuse psychedelia into a heavy rock sound to create “psychedelic symphonic rock”, an eclectic genre which would eventually morph into heavy metal. They were best known for their dramatic heavy, slowed-down arrangements of contemporary pop songs which they developed into works of epic proportion. Their hits include “You Keep Me Hanging On”, “Shotgun”, “Bang Bang”, “Season Of The Witch”, “Take Me For A Little While”, “Eleanor Rigby”, and “She’s Not There”.
