This article first appeared on November 24, 2015. Jeff Eats promised you guys that I would “get” to Spadini’s new location and give you an update…long story short, got there last night- and the joint blew me away! Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats “had” Greek salad/calzone/Sicilian pie/garlic knots and everything was absolutely delicious. Trust Jeff Eats when I tell you that Spadini’s is turning out some of the best pizzas, pastas, calzones, red sauce Italian stuff in South Florida. Just so you know, real casual joint- handful of tables for both wait-staff/order at the counter customers. Spadini’s is an absolute must try!

***** Spadini’s Pizzeria, 1645 Southeast 3rd Court- Suite 103, Deerfield Beach Florida 33441, (954) 482-0436.

Here’s a heads-up for you guys…

Spadini’s Pizzeria literally just opened (like 2 days ago) in the Cove Shopping Center in Deerfield Beach.

Long story short, Spadini’s use to be in Boca Raton. Not sure of the details but a “falling-out” with its Boca Raton landlord- resulted in Spadini’s closing its Boca Raton location a few months ago- and moving/building a new pizza joint in Deerfield Beach.

Like I just said, the joint just opened- Jeff Eats hasn’t been there yet! I’m hearing both inside and outside table seating- real-real casual!

I’m thinking that the NEW location is gonna be as good as the OLD location, so I’m thinking that you definitely want to try Spadini’s!

Some of Jeff Eats’ Spadini’s (Boca Raton) write-ups are printed down below.

Trust Jeff Eats when I tell you, unless something very seriously goes wrong (which I seriously doubt)- the NEW- Spadini’s is gonna be serving up some of the best pizzas, pastas, subs, salads and other Italian stuff that you’ve eaten down here in Florida!

Jeff Eats got plans to checkout Spadini’s sometime during the next two weeks, so I’ll report back to you guys!

Not trying to be repetitious or nothing, but do yourself a solid and try this joint- its food is (or should I say, should be?) off the chart neighborhood Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island, Manhattan, “The” Bronx delicious- and that’s no bs!

You can checkout Spadini’s menu/prices at spadinispizzeria.com.

Spadini’s Pizzeria is open Monday-Thursday 11am-10pm, Friday-Saturday 11am-2am, Sunday noon-8pm.

A year ago today-Jeff Eats told you guys about Spadini’s Pizzeria a terrific pizza-joint which had just “opened” for business in Boca Raton.

One year later, Spadini’s is chugging along doing- both a huge takeout/eat-in business.

Over the past year, Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats must have taken-out at least 15 times and each and every time- the pizza, subs, entrees were all right on the money.

Anyway,

Last night Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats decided to eat-at Spadini’s ordering- a 16″ cheese pizza (Wednesday Special -$8), an eggplant parmigiana entrée and a veal parmigiana hero. The eggplant and veal stuff were delicious–AND THE PIZZA WAS SIMPLY AMAZING. In talking with owner -Tom Sellick, he advised that a few weeks ago he had replaced his pizzas’ white flour with Japanese breadcrumbs and the pies/slices were getting rave customer reviews. Just so we are straight with one another- white flour, Japanese breadcrumbs “it’s all Rock n Roll to me”- all Jeff Eats can tell you, is that the pizza was awesome.

Let me wrap this up,

You guys gotta try Spadini’s Pizzeria. The subs, pastas, entrees are delicious AND THE PIZZA IS SIMPLY AMAZING!

***** Spadini’s Pizzeria (Boca Raton)

Early this morning, Jeff Eats told you guys about Spadini’s Pizzeria, 134 Northeast 2nd Avenue, Boca Raton, Florida 33432, (561) 826-7420. The jist of that “article” was that Jeff Eats had heard terrific things about this relatively -new pizza joint (it opened in February 2013) and had “plans” to give it a shot in the near future. That original article is down below.

To make a long story short…

Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats decided to take food out tonight.

Items ordered… chopped salad (large $9.50), 16″ plain pizza (Wednesday Night Special $8), chicken parmigiana hero ($9.95), sausage & peppers hero ($8.95), penne alla vodka ($11.95)…and I gotta tell you, everything we had was delicious. A special shoutout to the pizza—let’s just say, that Spadini’s knows how to make a real New York Slice—thin crust, delicious sweet sauce, great tasting mozzarella. By the way, the heroes were big enough to feed two people–and featured a really tasty-lightly toasted bread.

Spadini’s Pizzeria is an absolute “hole in the wall”—a few tables inside and even fewer outside. You order at the counter/you pickup at the counter.

Based on the food that Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats “had”—Spadini’s is right up there with the best “mom & pop” red sauce joints in sunny South Florida.

You can check menu/prices at www.spadinispizzeria.com.

Finally, Spadini’s has a whole bunch of “specials”—like $8- 16″ pizzas on Wednesday and buy 2 heroes and get 1 free on Monday…so “ASK” what “deals” are on the table-before you order…Capice!

*****

Nothing for nothing…

Jeff Eats is hearing amazingly-fabulous-incredible “things” about a relatively new Boca Raton pizza joint…Spadini’s Pizzeria.

Just so we are straight with each other, Jeff Eats hasn’t gotten to the joint yet, but at least 7-maybe 11 or maybe it was 13 people (who have eaten there) told me that this “hole-in-the wall” turns out some of the best New York Style pizza/subs/other stuff that they have had- since migrating down here from Brooklyn, New York– Montclair, New Jersey–Hartford, Connecticut– Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania– Cortland, New York–Chicago, Illinois.

Being a top notch “reporter”- this morning Jeff Eats called Spadini’s Pizzeria and spoke to its owner 31 year old Thomas Sellick. Sellick told me that he has lived in South Florida for about a year and prior to coming down- he learned his “craft” working in his family’s Northport, New York (for those who don’t know, that’s part of Long Island) pizza joints. He told me that he opened for business on February 7, 2013—just so you know, Sellick bought out Mizner Plaza Pizza (reviewed 11/28/12), 134 Northeast 2nd Avenue, Boca Raton… did a drop of cosmetic surgery—and with new recipes and menus in hand re-opened as Spadini’s Pizzeria. Sellick told me that he has the same seating as Mizner Plaza had-that being a handful of tables inside and a handful outside. He also said-the joint works on an “order at the counter/pickup at the counter” system–but if you “want” he or one of his “guys” will bring the food over to your table.

Anyway…

Like I said, Jeff Eats is hearing terrific things about Spadini’s Pizzeria. If you get there before I do, I’d apprecaite hearing your thoughts.

You can check Spadini’s website www.spadinispizzeria.com for menu/prices/photos/other stuff.

Spadini’s Pizzeria, 134 Northeast 2nd Avenue, Boca Raton, Florida 33432, (561) 826-7123—is open Monday-Saturday 11am-11pm, Sunday noon-9pm.

The 64,000 Dollar Question:
Are the opinions of the folks from Montclair, Hartford, Pittsburgh, Cortland and Chicago-to be trusted on what consitutes top-notch New York Style pizza? We “know” that the Brooklyn folks are qualified, but-the others?—Jeff Eats is just asking!

This article first appeared on November 20, 2015. Jeff Eats just checked the box-office and there are a bunch of really good tickets left. So if you wanna go, do what you gotta do! By the way, I understand that the Seminole Casino Coconut Creek reserved 500 seats for its best players-so Jeff Eats is thinking that when all is said and done- this show will be SRO! As I mentioned down-below, Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats saw the show when it played the Seminole Hard Rock Paradise Live Theatre in Hollywood and loved it! Don’t forget, tomorrow (12/12/15) would have been Sinatra’s 100th birthday- so the timing of “this” show is kinda perfect!

You can catch tickets ($30, $42.50, $55) at sinatrasintennial.com.

from sinatrasinntineal.com

On December 12, 2015, the iconic voice of Frank Sinatra will come alive once again as Miami crooner Jeff Grainger featuring The Hoboken 11 brings his “Sinatra Sintennial Show” to the Seminole Casino Coconut Creek Honoring the 100th birthday of the 20th century’s greatest entertainer, the show is set to unveil at 8 p.m.
Brought to life with Grainger’s incredible vocal prowess that seamlessly channels ‘ole blue eyes’, the “Sinatra Sintennial Show” is reminiscent of the foot-tapping, finger-snapping enthusiasm of the swing era coupled with authentic Vegas glitz and glamour. The breathtaking production features a 17-piece live band, two back-up vocals, and beautifully adorned showgirls. Of course no birthday celebration would be complete without “Happy Birthday” sung by the Blonde Bombshell herself.
Performing many of Sinatra’s most popular and classic hits, Grainger takes fans on a time-hopping journey set in an unforgettable evening filled with fan-favorite singles, fanciful musical arrangements, and a spectacular, mid-show surprise that is guaranteed to leave the audience breathless. Grainger, whose career has spanned from wedding singer to local Rat Pack member, has skyrocketed with his undeniable, marked ability to channel Sinatra’s singing and swagger. He contributes his Sinatra “glow” to his use of MENJAI Advanced Skincare “We wouldn’t want it any other way,” said Viglielmo. “MENAJI is passionate about making a man look like a man. Sinatra Sintennial Show with Jeff Grainger is passionate about delivering authentic Sinatra.”
“Frank Sinatra’s legacy transcends the music industry and has left an indelible imprint upon the world in countless ways,” says Grainger. “As a longtime enthusiast of his music, I look forward to welcoming all of his fans from across Southeast Florida for a memorable evening together

* Legendary Voices of Doo Wop.

DOO WOP FANS.. YOU WON’T WANT TO MISS THIS SHOW!

Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats will be there!

* Individually Wrapped Chocolate Slices!

BOURBON a Japan based company- is selling Individually Wrapped Chocolate Slices online (bourbon.co.jp/english/index.html).

Jeff Eats did some checking- no American supermarket chain is carrying BOURBON’s product or any similar product.

Between you guys and Jeff Eats, I’m kinda thinking that this is an absolutely ingenious product- and that sooner rather than later, you’re gonna see Individually Wrapped Chocolate Slices selling all over the United States! Not sure “which company” gets there first, but I guarantee you guys-that in 2016 you’re gonna see a whole bunch of brands in your local supermarket/food store!

***** Crazy Wok, 5764 Wiles Road, Coral Springs, Florida 33067, (954) 255-1866.

This morning Jeff Eats saw a gigantic-tractor trailer “unloading” a whole bunch of cars “with” New York and New Jersey license plates at the intersection of Sample Road & University Drive in Coral Springs.

To- save those “car owners” the time and trouble of writing Jeff Eats…

Crazy Wok (Coral Springs, Fort Lauderdale))
Posted on November 25th, 2014 · Chinese Coral Springs

***** Crazy Wok, 5764 Wiles Road, Coral Springs, Florida 33067, (954) 255-1866.

Crazy Wok is a Chinese takeout joint. There are 2- locations, 1-in Coral Springs, 1-in Fort Lauderdale (2392 North Federal Highway)- this “story” is about the Coral Springs’ location.

Real simple story…

Last Saturday night, Jeff Eats was over-by my friend Peter’s house watching football…we ordered some Chinese stuff from Crazy Wok. We picked-up the food and Peter caught the bill…hey! it’s his house…you eat by me, I pickup the bill!

To make a long story short, we did wonton soup, egg rolls, boneless spare ribs, pan fried dumplings, General Tsao’s chicken, moo shu beef, roast pork fried rice…and I gotta tell you, the food was right on the money. Now you know and Jeff Eats knows that this food-reviewing gig is purely a subjective game. What I like you might hate and vice versa. You also do know, that what I might find sweet, you may find bitter-so forth and so on. That’s why, I very rarely kill time, telling you-what something tastes like! Suffice it to say, (as they say in internet land— imho) Crazy Wok turned out some really delicious “American” Chinese food. For those of you-looking for “real” or shall I say “authentic” Chinese food-like West Lake Fish in Vinegar Sauce (yeah-I know it sounds absolutely amazing!) you can cross Crazy Wok off-your list.

Finally…good free food, good company and a win by my University of Arizona Wildcats…made for a very pleasant evening.

One last thought, some of you guys may be wondering…If Jeff Eats went to Ithaca College and Brooklyn Law School and Mrs. Jeff Eats went to Brooklyn College…then how does the U of A work its way into the conversation? Easy, Son Jeff Eats went to U of A and Daughter Jeff Eats went to University of Connecticut- thus the RELATIONSHIPS…very expensive RELATIONSHIPS but RELATIONSHIPS nonetheless! Now that I look back, why these two scholars couldn’t- go to school in-state, is beyond Jeff Eats’ comprehension- we’ll save that discussion for another day…

If you live or work in Crazy Wok’s neighborhood…you now know about a real-good Chinese takeout joint.

You can check menu/prices at crazywok.com. The site has a handful of discount coupons that you can print out.

Crazy Wok is open 7 days a week 10am-11pm.

***** Mamma Mia Pizzeria & Italian Restaurant 2, 538 Washington Avenue, Homestead, Florida 33030, (305) 248-3133.

You guys and Jeff Eats both know that “mom & pop” red sauce Italian joints are a dime-a-dozen down here in Sunny South Florida. Or as the late great Soupy Sales once opined, “Watch what you eat, or you’ll have more Chins than there are in a Chinese phonebook!

Long tale short…some of these “mom & pop” joints are lousy, some are just okay, some are good, some are very good and some are terrific!

Anyway, last night Jeff Eats, Mrs. Jeff Eats and another couple ate at Mamma Mia Pizzeria & Italian Restaurant 2 (for the first time) and based on the joint’s cheese pizza, veal parmigiana, shrimp scampi, chicken scarpariello, meatballs and spaghetti, garlic rolls, meat lasagna, eggplant parmigiana, house salad, big portions, reasonable prices, pleasant service, cool/casual red & white checker board tablecloth decor- I’m gonna throw the joint a “terrific”…

Y

Trust Jeff Eats on this one, Mamma Mia’s Pizzeria & Italian Restaurant 2 is running on all cylinders. If you live, work or play in Mamma Mia’s neighborhood- make it your business to give this joint a shot- you’ll love it!

You can check menu/prices at mammamiapizza2.com.

The joint is open Monday-Thursday 11am-10pm, Friday-Saturday 11am- 11pm, Sunday noon-10pm.

* Celebrate Chanukah at the Plaza del Mar.

Jeff Eats assures you, that when the Maccabees rebelled against Antiochus IV in 167-160 BC they never figured that in December, AD 2015 some guy named “Sarge” would be touring South Florida to SRO crowds- with a hilarious Comedy Show named Sarge: The Chanukah Chutzpah Tour.

The Plaza del Mar “night” sounds like a real nice evening for Jews and non-Jews alike! Hey! We’ve been playing along with your- Santa Claus & His Elves & His Reindeer-and eating Chinese food on Christmas Eve-Day for years!

Jeff Eats has seen Sarge a number of times and the guy kills! By the way, goldstar.com has discount tickets (for The Palm Beaches Theatre’s show and other venues), so if you want to see Sarge at “wholesale” prices- you now know what to do! (stereotype pun- intended)…I might also add, earlier in the evening- the Chabad is providing free food! (stereotype pun-intended)!

This article first appeared on August 6, 2015. Just wanted to tell you guys, that yesterday Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats “ate” lunch at Larry, Curly Burgers & Moe (for the second time)- and this joint’s food- is absolutely off the chart! Look! Jeff Eats “eats” (pun intended) in a ton of joints- and every so often I come across a joint- that absolutely kills. Throw in the fact that Larry, Curly Burgers & Moe is the consummate hole-in-the-wall and “it” warrants another mention on Jeff Eats. Trust me on this one, you gotta try Larry, Curly Burgers & Moe, it’s amazing-good!

First things first…first- heard about Larry, Curly Burgers & Moe a couple of weeks ago- from my buddies at burgerbeast.com- they absolutely loved the joint!

Real simple story, absolute hole in the wall- order/pickup at the counter- small handful of seats. So!- don’t be planning no high-school graduation parties (unless they are real small ones) there- same goes for bar mitzvahs and weddings!

Jeff Eats down-below- has “listed” Larry, Curly Burgers & Moe’s menu…burgers, hot dogs, handful of salads, sandwiches, wings, desserts…

Anyway,

Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats recently- “stopped” in for lunch and all I can tell you is that Larry, Curly Burgers & Moe’s stuff absolutely kills!! No bs-here, the fried chicken sandwich, bacon cheeseburger and rib eye-Philly cheesesteak, hand-cut fresh French fries were off the chart delicious.

Larry, Curly Burgers & Moe is an absolute homerun!
