Got a real good fast food Chinese joint for you guys to check-out, Dumpling King in Pembroke Pines.
Simple tale to tell, yesterday afternoon, Jeff Eats, Mrs. Jeff Eats, Daughter Jeff Eats and Son Jeff Eats “discovered” Dumpling King and the joint’s food totally blew us away! Order at counter/ food delivered to table, inside table seating, reasonably priced flavored bubble teas – boiled/ fried/ steamed dumplings – appetizers – soups- dips- entrees- noodles menu.
Let’s wrap Dumpling King up by saying, that if this joint was a drop closer to Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats’ Boca Raton abode, we definitely would be real steady customers/ that the joint is open Monday, Wednesday-Sunday 11am-9pm closed on Tuesday/ that in addition to its Pembroke Pines’ location, Dumpling King has a joint in North Miami Beach and that Dumpling King is an absolute must try.

***** Trader Joe’s Fresh Squeezed Lemonade.
A recent e-mail received by Jeff Eats…
Jeff,
New to Florida.
Two weeks ago my husband and I moved from Nutley, New Jersey to Boca Raton.
Started reading jeffeats.com around the same time and it looks like you got your finger on the food situation down here.
I maybe crazy, but I’d swear that you were in my Junior High School SP Class at Ditmas Junior High School. I also remember going to your Bar Mitzvah at Singer’s Hotel.
My maiden name was Kushner.
Am I right on that? If I’m correct, hello! How have you been?
Anyway,
Maybe you can help us out, with something, is there any market in Boca Raton where can we can buy really good fresh squeezed lemonade?
Thanks loads,
Jane
________
Jane,
First things first, yes you and I were in the same SP class for 2 years. If i recall correctly, after junior high school you and your family moved to Marlboro, New Jersey.
Second, I will have Mrs. Jeff Eats contact you and see if the four of us can get together and do dinner one night.
Third, as for the fresh squeezed lemonade, read the story below.
Fourth, here’s a $25 Trader Joe’s Gift Card.
Welcome to Florida,
Jeff

* The Bronx Wanderers/ Saturday, December 13th, 2025/ The Casino @ Dania Beach.
If you wanna- see the Las Vegas based 50s-80s Rock N Roll tribute band that many (including Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats) consider the best in the business…

The Bronx Wanderers.
Reprinted below is a December 11, 2008 story that-Jeff Eats did on 50s-80s Rock N Roll cover band- The Bronx Wanderers.
In a nutshell, in the ensuing years -The Bronx Wanderers became a gigantic “act”…
No fooling here, this 2008 Bronx “bar band”- now plays to SRO crowds at- casino showrooms, theaters, festivals, country clubs and resorts all over the United States…the band has even had a reality tv show crew chronicle its daily movements.
Over the years, I’ve seen The Bronx Wanderers a handful of times-and the band definitely has a knack of keeping things “fresh”…trust Jeff Eats when I tell you that- there are just so many times that one person (even an Oldies fan like Jeff Eats) can handle hearing Sherry and Big Girls Don’t Cry…what makes the group a beautiful thing is that- 5 of its 6 members are in their 20’s bringing a hip cool-style/look/sound/vibe/energy to the classic-hits. By the way, the group’s middle-aged lead singer- keeps the Oldies’ purists happy -with fabulous “dead on” Valli, Dion, Maestro, Jay Black, Diamond covers. If this all sounds confusing, you-may appreciate my “take” on the band-after you see-it live!
If you are a fan of 50s-80s Rock N Roll, you gotta catch The Bronx Wanderers…this band is about as good as it gets!
Check the band’s website thebronxwanderers.com, there a number of 2014-2015 Florida dates in the making.

***** The Bronx Wanderers *****
December
I recently saw an absolutely phenomenal… Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons/Dion & The Belmonts’ tribute band called The Bronx Wanderers. In addition to featuring the hit-songs of these two legendary groups, The Bronx Wanderers have an enormous playlist of rock ‘n roll/disco hits from the 1950’s-1970’s. If “seeing is believing,” check-out the group’s website at www.thebronxwanderers.com where you will find terrific audio/video of these guys in action.
Watching this 5-member band, was like having Frankie and Dion right in front of the crowd. Amazing covers. Just so you know, these guys are also no slouches when they play the hits of such bands/acts (a partial list, in no particular order) as Jay & The Americans, Johnny Maestro & The Brooklyn Bridge, The Bee Gees, KC & The Sunshine Band, The Monkees, Neal Diamond, The Duprees, The Capris, The Beatles, The Classics, The Village People, Santo & Johnny, The Commodores and The Trammps.
The only “problem” with The Bronx Wanderers is that they are a New York based group. They very rarely get-down to South Florida… as most of their appearances are in New York and New Jersey.
Now for the good news…If you check The Bronx Wanderers’ “schedule”…you will find that the band has a number of South Florida dates in (now get this) January, 2010. I know it’s along way-off…but if you can swing it, you definitely want to see this group in action.
If you like the music of Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons–Dion & The Belmonts…you will absolutely love The Bronx Wanderers.
My name is Jeff. I was born and bred in Brooklyn, New York. Since 1991, I have lived in South Florida and have eaten in so many restaurants down here, that I now consider myself to be a food expert.
