***** 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!

Taste of the 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.
