***** The Dandee Donut Factory, 1422 South Federal Highway, Deerfield Beach, Florida 33441, (954) 531-1990.

Just got home from picking up 2 dozen donuts at- the recently acquired (by Pompano Beach Dandee Donut’s owners) and remodeled Dandee Donut Factory in Deerfield Beach.

Got some people coming over for breakfast in about an hour…

Simple tale to tell you guys, delicious donuts/muffins/bagels and “diner” food.

You can checkout The Dandee Donut Factory “story” at dandeedonutfactory.com.

The Dandee Donut Factory in Deerfield Beach is open 7 days a week 5am-7pm.

Trust Jeff Eats when I tell you, this joint’s “stuff” is off the chart dynamite! No bs- you’d be hard pressed to find better donuts and muffins anywhere in Florida!

Latest Review: 7/24/16

If you like lemonade, I can’t see you not loving The Boys Farmers Market 100% Natural Lemonade! Not exactly lemon infused water, but a delicious lemon/sugar/water mixture with the lemons holding the upper hand!

Look! Jeff Eats knows “different strokes for different folks”- that said, go try the stuff and decide for yourself!

***** The Boys Farmers Market.

Jeff Eats first “reviewed” The Boys Farmers Market on 5/6/2009.

That review is reprinted below.

It is now some 5 1/2 years later- and I just wanted to tell -new as well as old- Jeff Eats’ readers that I LOVE this joint-and if you live or work anywhere-near The Boys Farmers Market make it your business to shop there…trust me, you will be thrilled that you did!

***** The Boys Farmers Market, 14378 Military Trail, Delray Beach, Florida 33484 (561) 496-8123.

If you can “handle” its parking-lot…with senior citizens “backing in and backing out” non-stop…The Boys Farmers Market is an absolutely great place to shop for fruits, fresh squeezed juices, vegetables, baked goods, cheeses, wines, candies, seafood, meats, coffees and prepared chicken/seafood/meat dishes.

Just guessing here, but The Boys’ probably has something like 30,000 square feet of indoor space jammed with top quality FOOD. All the free samples that you’d like…and everything sold, runs circles around joints like Publix, Winn Dixie and Albertsons, not to mention-probably cheaper.

My family has been shopping at The Boys Farmers Market for years…and I have been amazed by two things…namely, that we have never been involved in a fender-bender in its parking lot & the great stuff that it sells.

The Boys has its own bakery, squeezes its own juices and prepares its own “take out” food. This joint is an absolute-winner. If you live in the Delray Beach area, you probably already know about The Boys…for those of you who don’t, you got to go shopping there…just be careful in the parking lot.

The Boys Farmers Market is open 7 days a week.

* Otis Cadillac and the Eldorados featuring the Seville Sisters

Real simple tale to tell, south Florida based- Otis Cadillac and the Eldorados featuring the Seville Sisters is one of the coolest, most talented, fun and innovative 1950’s retro bands that Jeff Eats has seen in the past 25 years…

If you haven’t seen them, go see them- you will have an absolute blast!

Otis Cadillac and the Eldorados featuring the Seville Sisters’ next “outing” is…

July 23, 9:00PM- Complimentary Show

By the way, Rip’s Sports Bar & Grill located in the Diamond Strike Lanes (it’s a bowling alley) has loads of tvs, a full bar, booth/table seating- and its food definitely gets the job done (hey! it’s a restaurant in a freaking bowling alley). All and all, a terrific venue to see- Otis Cadillac and the Eldorados featuring the Seville Sisters at!

* Pokemon Go Meet Up.

Other than the “part” about free pizza, Jeff Eats has absolutely no idea as to what the hell is going on here! That said, if you “do” please give me a call on my flip top phone and- explain!
