***** Mad Minis Ice Cream Sandwiches.

Real simple tale to tell you guys…

Last Sunday- Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats’ niece Gabin had a birthday party for her 6 year old son/our great nephew Asher- and these Mad Minis Ice Cream Sandwiches were one of the desserts (or for you guys out there who don’t know how to spell- deserts) served!

Long story short, absolute dynamite dessert! Sort of like The Three Bears’ situation…not too big, not too small, but just right! Of course, Great Uncle Jeff Eats tried all 4- flavors and then re-checked the chocolate/chocolate… I’m thinking you guys get the jist of the story!

Did some checking (madminifoods.com)- and these bite sized ice cream sandwiches are currently available in South Florida- at Whole Foods Market and BJ’s – with a 12-pack fetching $2.50 give or take a few cents!

* Elwoods Halloween Bash with The Blues Brothers Soul Band.

Trust me, Jeff Eats knows that today is July 11th, that it’s something like 92,000 freaking degrees outside and that the last thing that you guys are thinking about is some holiday that features tooth rotting candy-corn!

That said… Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats will be there!

Simple tale to tell, The Blues Brothers Soul Band is one of America’s premier-heaviest booked Blues Brothers tribute bands. Jeff Eats has seen the group something like ten times and it puts on a fast paced, high energy, dead-on, dynamite show!-

Trust Jeff Eats on this one, terrific vocals/musicians/choreography/costumes!

WESTERN OMELETE (WITH AMERICAN CHEESE)
$7.65

Taste of the City

Cooper City

Latest Review: 6/22/15

Fans of the “mom & pop” diner- concept will absolutely positively love Taste of the City in Cooper City. Nothing fancy going on there- just good solid diner stuff, reasonable prices and super pleasant wait-staff.

Just between you guys and Jeff Eats, I was born and raised on “mom & pop” diners- call Jeff Eats patriotic or something but joints like Taste of the City are and always will be a vital part of America’s dining landscape.

If- like Jeff Eats you are into the “mom & pop” neighborhood diner-concept…then I got something really good for you…

Taste of the City in Cooper City.

Absolutely positively- nothing fancy going on here- counter seating, a whole bunch of tables…a menu loaded with tons of reasonably priced- breakfast stuff, salads, burgers, sandwiches, so on and so forth…open for breakfast/lunch Sunday 7:30am-2:30pm, Monday-Saturday 7am-3pm also open Thursday 5pm-9pm for dinner.

Long story short, Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats recently did breakfast…and loved the western omelet, cheese omelet with bacon, breakfast bacon burrito, grits, toasted et-bagel, home fries that were pleasantly/timely delivered to our table. Jeff Eats not being a coffee expert- Mrs. Jeff Eats Juan Valdez told me to assure you guys, that the coffee was right on the money!

Like I said a few seconds ago, Jeff Eats really enjoys “mom & pop” diners…call me what you’d like (just don’t call me Ray) but to me- these diners-are part of our American culture our history. May sound hokey, but think Andy Taylor, Mike the Cop, Mr. Fields, Gunther Toody, Aunt Bea, Leo Schnauser, Floyd the Barber-and just maybe you’ll appreciate from where I’m coming.

You may call your favorite diner, Joe’s, Lou’s, Tommy’s- but a rose is a rose …

To wrap it up, Jeff Eats loved Taste of the City.
