* Publix Promise.

Every so often, Jeff Eats gets a reader email which complains- that at. Publix checkout the scanned register price on an item was more than the shelf or advertised price!

I thought that you guys might like to know what Publix’s official policy is on the above situation…

From Publix.com:

“Our Publix Promise guarantees that if during checkout, the scanned price of an item (excluding alcohol and tobacco products) exceeds the shelf price or advertised price, we will give the customer one of that item free. We will charge the lower price for the remaining items.”

The Forbidden Love Story Of Bobby Darin & Connie Francis

This musical tells the tragic love story of two Italian-American music icons, Bobby Darin and Connie Francis. This unforgettable show blends heartfelt storytelling, authentic dialogue, and all of their greatest hits, brought to life with Broadway-quality musicians and performances. Fresh from the Off-Broadway stages of NYC, Forbidden Love stars Westchester’s own Vanessa Racci as Connie and Charlie Romo as Bobby, turning the pages of their autobiographies into a moving theatrical experience filled with true anecdotes, timeless music, and show-stopping talent!

Review: “Together, these two vocalists, with a penchant for the vintage, have created a program that allows them to show off superb vocals and their love for the two star-crossed lovers of their idolatry.” – Stephen Mosher, Broadway World ‘23

***** Jeremiah’s Italian Ice, 8170 Glades Road K-2, Boca Raton, Florida 33434, (561)465-3274.

Got a real good Italian Ice/Soft Serve Ice Cream/Gelati joint for you guys to checkout, Jeremiah’s Italian Ice in Boca Raton.

Real simple tale to tell, Jeremiah’s is a fast growing Italian Ice franchise (since 2019) which currently has stores spread-out over Florida. Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina, Texas. Three weeks ago, Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff “discovered” Jeremiah’s Boca Raton joint and have been back 5 times since that initial outing. Order/pickup at inside counter/outside walk-up windows, handful of inside/outside tables, reasonably priced- 40 rotating and seasonal Italian Ice flavors/ vanilla-chocolate soft serve/ loads of toppings menu.

Now, just between you and me, I kinda think that I know my Italian Ices and Soft Serve Ice Cream and I’m telling you guys that Jeremiah’s Italian Ice is turning out absolutely delicious stuff!

Like I said a few seconds ago, Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats have been to Jeremiah’s 6 times (between 7:30-9:30pm) and each and every time- there were lines both inside and outside with people waiting to order. In addition, every table inside/ outside was taken. Of interest, all ages were there.

Not sure as to how it all plays out franchise wise, but for right now, the Jeremiah’s (which opened in Boca Raton on June 28th, 2021)) looks like a home-run business!

Checkout jeremiahsice.com for locations/menu/prices/info.

Jeremiah’s Italian Ice is open, Sunday-Thursday noon-10pm, Friday-Saturday noon-11pm.

This contest started on 8/28/26. This contest has a winner.

Got a real good upscale- steakhouse for you guys to check-out, Hyde Park Prime Steakhouse in Delray Beach.

Simple tale to tell. Last night Jeff Eats, Mrs. Jeff Eats and our friends Steve and Susan “discovered” Hyde Park Prime Steakhouse and its food and service were right on the money! Table/booth seating/ full eat at liquor bar, decor wise- unlike many upscale steakhouses that favor dark dreary wood and dim lights Hyde Park is brightly lit by loads of chandeliers with walls covered with all kinds of interesting art -work and photographs, REASONABLY PRICED full boat menu of expected appetizers/ salads/ soups/ steaks/ seafood/ entrees/ sides/ desserts, happy hour, early bird specials.

Let’s wrap-up Hyde Park Prime Steakhouse by saying- it’s an absolute must try! Dynamite Food Priced Right…a waitstaff that knows exactly what it’s doing…

Trust Jeff Eats on this one, unless you are a fancy schmancy person -you will absolutely love this joint! Delicious food and the staff is as pleasant and knowledgeable as can be.

***** Teo Coffee Cookies & Cream Gelato.

Now, you guys and Jeff Eats both know that this whole food blog “reviewing” situation is purely one big subjective call- you know, what I like, you may hate and vice versa!

With that in mind, yesterday afternoon while shopping at The Fresh Market located at 5540 North Military Trail, Boca Raton, Florida 33496, (561) 994-2221) I came across the below pictured pints of Teo Coffee Cookies & Cream Gelato and decided to give the gelato a shot… Why I bought 2 pints, I really don’t know? But it proved to be a great move- as the gelato was/is absolutely delicious! By the way, if Mrs. Jeff Eats starts a rumor that I thought the gelato was a $5.99 BOGO- deal don’t believe her!

For the record, until yesterday I had never “hearsd” of Teo Gelato- and like I said a couple of seconds ago, its Coffee Cookies & Cream Gelato was/is absolute dynamite!

You guys can check teogelato.com for a list of gelato flavors/ product information/ FLorida retailers.

***** Salvatore’s Prime Sandwiches, 1520 Edgewater Drive Ste J, Orlando, Florida 328046, (407) 237-0074.

Got a real good sub joint for you guys to check-out, Salvatore’s Prime Sandwiches in Orlando.

Real simple tale to tell, yesterday afternoon Jeff Eats, Mrs. Jeff Eats and our friends Lee and Rose and Jack and Tina ate lunch at Salvatore’s Prime Sandwiches and its food totally blew us away…just so you guys know, first time for Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats eating there, the other two couples who live in Orlando had eaten there many times.

The setup – order/pickup at counter, no indoor seating/outdoor umbrella bench seating, reasonably priced menu of hot and cold subs.

Let’s wrap-up Salvatore’s Prime Sandwiches by saying- its stuff killed, the priced right sandwiches could choke a horse, the folks running the joint were as pleasant as could be and Lee picked up the check! If this joint was a whole lot closer to Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats’ Boca Raton abode- we would be real steady customers!
