***** Bagels 4U, 2900 West Sample Road, Pompano Beach, Florida 33073, (954) 984-8005.

Bagels 4U…fast food- bagels/sandwiches/salads joint located in the Festival Flea Market Mall’s food court. Order at/pickup at the counter, shared food court table seating.

First things first, like you, I’m thinking that the joint’s name sucks! Come on, you know Toys R Us, Babies R Us, so on and so forth!

Anyway,

Real simple tale…

The other day Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats “did” lunch…chicken salad on a toasted everything, tuna salad on a toasted onion and lox with a schmear of cream cheese on a toasted pumpernickel and “everything” was right on the money! The bagels were made-the “right way” boiled/and then baked- and the “fillings” were as tasty as could be!

Let me wrap this one up for you guys, the stuff we had was as good, if not better than most of the full service bagel joints that dot the South Florida landscape.

Jeff Eats is thinking that- Bagels 4U is a real nice “alternative” to the- bourbon chicken, 2 slices & a Coke- and Philly cheesesteak “concessions” that usually catch my Festival Flea Market Mall food court business!

The next time you’re in the Festival Flea Market Mall give Bagels 4U a shot- by the way, Jeff Eats also took home 6 bialys- and like the bagels, they were real good!

Bagels 4U is open Monday-Friday 9:30am-5pm, Saturday-Sunday 9:30am-6pm.

Finally, here’s a coupon you can use in the Festival Flea Market Mall before or after you eat, ’cause you can’t use it in the food court! Go figure!

TUNA SALAD SUB
$5.75

Seaside Deli & Market
4635 North Ocean Boulevard,
Boynton Beach
(561) 272-5300
Latest Review: 1/15/15

Just between you guys and Jeff Eats, I literally get asked-all the time “Who makes great subs down here?”

If you wanna eat great subs, you gotta try Seaside Deli & Market in Boynton Beach.

Just so you guys know- although I singled out Seaside’s tuna salad sub for special mention- all of the subs that I’ve had- killed!

Seaside is a take-out only joint, so don’t be planning on holding your kid’s High School Graduation Party there!

***** Seaside Deli & Market, 4635 North Ocean Boulevard, Boynton Beach, Florida 33435, (561) 272-5300.

Seaside Deli & Market makes GREAT SUBS & SANDWICHES.

Real simple story, Jeff Eats has to rate Seaside as one of the best sub-sandwich joints in South Florida.

Just so you know, this is strictly a takeout “deal”-so don’t be planning a graduation party or nothing like that at Seaside.

In addition to amazing-delicious subs and sandwiches, the joint has “beers” up the wazoo, salads, breakfast stuff.

A recent outing had me picking-up…tuna salad sub, chicken salad sub, chicken parm sub, grilled chicken breast/bacon/melted American cheese on a Kaiser roll, roast beef/swiss cheese/cucumbers/ thousand island dressing on rye, turkey/ham/salami/cheese/lettuce/tomato sub and I gotta tell you Seaside’s stuff blew me away.

Let me wrap this up for you, Jeff Eats has eaten in a ton of sub joints down here in South Florida…and I gotta tell you, this Seaside- joint is a HOME RUN- GRAND SLAM!

***** Nino’s Pizza, 204 North Miami Avenue, Miami, Florida 33128, (305) 374-6900.

Got an absolutely terrific pizza joint for you guys, Nino’s Pizza in Miami.

Nino’s is an absolute “hole-in-the-wall”- maybe a half-dozen counter seats and half-dozen 2 seat hi-top tables.

In addition to pizza, the joint has hot/cold subs, sandwiches, wraps, burgers, pastas/entrees. You can check ninospizzamiami.com for menu/prices.

Just in case you’re curious on the décor, think neighborhood diner- meets- neighborhood pizza joint featuring classic rock posters/pictures & Italian gangster posters/pictures. Not exactly sure what Jimi Hendrix has to do with Vito Corleone- but it’s all good!

A recent Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats lunch netted us…2 slices of cheese/pepperoni pizza, meatball parmigiana sub and I gotta tell you, the food absolutely killed! Jeff Eats isn’t sure what you guys consider a New York Slice to be, but I’m telling you- that Nino’s thin crispy crust/sweet sauce/nice fold-drop of oil when pointed down slice was right on the money as far as this Brooklyn Boy is concerned! The meatball sub- hard outside/soft inside roll-with amazing meatballs was absolute dynamite!

Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats loved Nino’s Pizza. For our purposes, I’m gonna rate this joint an absolute must try…the décor, the vibe, the food- like I said- Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats loved Nino’s Pizza!

Nino’s Pizza is open Monday-Friday 8:30am-4:30pm, closed Saturday and Sunday.

* The Pot Calling The Kettle Black!

Just finished reading a story on aol.com- about former NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg “slamming” various Republican Presidential Candidates- calling them crazies!

Isn’t Bloomberg the same guy- who just a few years ago- tried to pass a law in NYC that limited the size of CUPS in-order- to regulate the consumption of sugary beverages?

Sure he was!

Talk about The Pot Calling The Kettle Black!.

Former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg Slams Right Wing Crazies

_______________
Posted May 31, 2012

***** Time For New York City’s Mayor Bloomberg To Retire *****

Do a quick Google-Search… you’ll find a ton of stories about Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s latest “idea” to pass a NYC law that prohibits the sale of sugary soft drinks in containers larger than 16 ounces. For the sake of fairness- there are “various” exceptions built into the proposed law which is intended to help fight obesity.

Is Bloomberg nuts or what?

I don’t know about you, but Jeff Eats is perfectly capable of deciding for himself how much Coca Cola or Pepsi or Sunkist Orange Soda I can “handle” at any given time.

Talk about the Government “getting” into your daily life. The next thing you know this guy Bloomberg will be looking to limit NYC residents to only 6 Lay’s Potato Chips a day and require them to take 10-minute showers/4-times a day.

No question in my mind…time for Bloomberg to call it a day–and retire to one of those 11 homes that he owns.

****

March 11, 2013 UPDATE

Since Jeff Eats first “tackled” this one, New York City passed a law regulating bottle size. The law was set to go into effect tomorrow morning. This morning a New York State Supreme Court Judge declared the law illegal and stopped the implementation.

Like I said on 5/31/12 Time For New York City’s Mayor Bloomberg To Retire

* Simply Tina.

* Vinyl Records And Record Players Are Back!

Yesterday, Jeff Eats was”talking” to some college kids, 2- from UCF, 1- UCONN, 2- FAU and they were telling me- that loads of college kids (them included) are into buying vinyl records and record players!

So I’m thinking, that maybe I can start wearing those Huk-A-Poo shirts I got stored in my closest…problem is, I’m thinking they won’t fit!

Hey Jeff,
Been reading you for years.
Love the site.
Great picks.
Just curious if you don’t mind, Where are you, Mrs. Jeff Eats and Family “eating” this coming Thanksgiving?
Once again, love the site.
Happy Holiday

Assuming that you aren’t gonna pull a Michael-Captain McCluskey-Sollozzo “scene”on me…

Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats and Family- are “eating” at Matteo’s Restaurant in Boca Raton at 7pm. Nothing like good solid-Pilgrim food!-fried zucchini, penne ala vodka, chicken cacciatore, baked clams, linguine in white clam sauce, broiled pork chops, veal marsala- to help us remember Plymouth Rock and Tippecanoe & Tyler Too!

Just so you know, Matteo’s in Boca Raton is one of “our” favorite Italian joints in Florida. Matteo’s food kills and its service is about as good as it gets. If you wanna “see” what a top-shelf restaurant is suppose to be- you eat at Matteo’s in Boca Raton. By the way, “we” also-really enjoy Matteo’s Hallandale location, same great food and service- but Boca Raton is- the Eats’ neighborhood so the Boca Raton joint- is an easier and more convenient outing for us!

Happy Holiday to you and your family.

Certain things in life bear repeating…

Matteo’s with locations in Boca Raton, Hallandale is one of the best Italian restaurants in South Florida.

If you check…Back on March 19, 2008, I did a writeup on Matteo’s. I absolutely love this joint.You can check Matteo’s menu/prices at www.matteosristorante.com.

Matteo’s has 2 South Florida locations…Boca Raton, Hallandale…on average, I am probably in either the Boca or Hallandale joints at least once a month.

Matteo’s food is delicious. Matteo’s service is outstanding. Matteo’s prices are not-exactly “cheap,” but if you’re sensible when ordering, you won’t need a second job to pay the bill…Matteo’s features both family-style and individual portions. Matteo’s is a “white-tablecloth” joint, but your tee shirt/shorts ensemble will work.

Matteo’s started out as a Long Island joint…check the website for NY locations etc…Not exactly sure when its first S. Florida location (Boca Raton) opened, but from day-one Matteo’s has been a “homerun”…its enormous NY following, translated into an enormous South Florida following.

Look…I could go on and on about this joint…

I am telling you, that if you want terrific Italian food, served by a professional staff…with a management team that makes you feel like you are family…then you want to absolutely positively eat at Matteo’s.

You now know “again” about a sensational Italian joint that is not to be missed.

* Happy Thanksgiving!

To All The Parents Out There With Grown Children:

A father in Dallas calls his son in New York just before Thanksgiving and tells him, ‘I am sorry to tell you but your mother and I are getting divorced. I just cannot take any more of her moaning. We can’t stand the sight of each other any more. I called you first because you’re the eldest, please tell your sister.’

When Eddie calls his sister Julie who lives in Los Angeles, she says: ‘No way are they getting divorced, I’ll fly home and see them for Thanksgiving.’

Julie phones her parents and tells them both ‘You can’t get divorced. Promise me that you won’t do anything until I get there. I’m calling Eddie and we’ll both fly home and see you tomorrow. Until then, don’t take any action, please listen to me’ and hangs up.

The father puts down the phone and turns to his wife and says. ‘Good news Eddie and Julie are coming for Thanksgiving and both are paying their own way.’

Real simple tale, Sonny’s Famous Steak Hogies is what Jeff Eats calls an “out of sight, out of mind” joint.

First told you guys about Sonny’s Famous Steak Hogies on May 30, 2013- hadn’t been back until yesterday when Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats did lunch- the 2-steak and 1-meatball hogies killed!

This Sonny’s joint is an absolute must try.

All I know, if Sonny’s was closer to my Boca Raton neighborhood, Jeff Eats would be a REAL GOOD STEADY CUSTOMER!

***** Sonny’s Famous Steak Hogies, 1857 North 66th Avenue, Hollywood, Florida 33024, (954) 989-0561.

Last Sunday night, Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats were at the Hard Rock to see The Rascals in concert. Sitting next to us, were Lynee and Lou Cantor the owners of the “32 East” restaurant in Delray Beach…chit chat, chit chat—and Lou tells me, that if I want to eat great steak subs..then, I gotta try Sonny’s Famous Steak Hogies in Hollywood. Real fast, The Rascals killed it, absolutely fabulous concert…and plans are being set for Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats to check-out 32 East, which if the reviews in Yelp, TripAdvisor, OpenTable and various newspapers, magazines and publications are legit– is a terrific American Style joint (by the way, last night- Jeff Eats’ pal Eben–raved about 32 East’s hamburger, but then again Eben thinks that Ted Williams was better than Joe D. so his opinion maybe suspect-here).

To make a long story short…Lou really knows his stuff.

Jeff Eats got down to Sonny’s yesterday and “tried”– steak hogie, chicken parm hogie, tuna salad hogie, meatball hogie…and I gotta to tell you, this joint’s subs aren’t just good, they are amazing-good…right up there with the best that I’ve ever eaten…and you guys know that Jeff Eats has “done” his fair share of subs. Point of interest, Sonny’s bread is baked fresh every day—it alone is worth the trip…and we’re just talking about a sub roll here!

Just a drop of color…

Sonny’s has been in the same location since 1958. In addition to hot/cold subs, its got salads, pastas, pizzas—there is waitstaff service. Back in 2009, Guy Fieri did his tv show Diner, Drive-Ins & Dives there…so, this isn’t a hidden jewel discovered by Jeff Eats…yesterday at 1pm Sonny’s was jammed.

Just so we are straight, this guy-Guy Fieri as far as Jeff Eats is concerned, isn’t the be -all and end -all when it comes to knowing what great joint- food is all about. Nothing for nothing, but I honestly believe that huge-tv money/and other factors that have absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with food- “slant” Fiere’s opinions. Take this for what it’s worth…Jeff Eats has been to a number of Fieri’s “picks” and much of the food that he raved about was mediocre at best…While I’m on the “subject”–Jeff Eats for years has questioned the various “reviews” that appear in South Florida’s newspapers and other publications. You guys are smart enough to know, that you gotta-check joints out for yourselves. On the most basic level, what Jeff Eats likes, you may not like and vice versa.

Anyway- Guy made a good call on Sonny’s in that- its subs are definitely dynamite.

Real simple…whether you call them subs, hoagies, grinders or whatever your regional preference is—you will absolutely love and I do mean L O V E Sonny’s Famous Steak Hogies…and no, Jeff Eats didn’t -spell hoagies wrong, that’s what Sonny’s calls the sandwiches.

You can check menu/prices/video of Guy Fieri at www.sonnysfamoussteakhogies.com.

The joint is open Monday-Saturday 11:30am-9:30pm, Sunday 11:30am-8:30pm.

Finally…Jeff Eats always says, a solid given deserves a solid in return…or something like that–anyway, since Lou gave me the heads up on Sonny’s–why don’t you guys check-out 32 East at www.32east.com and “see” if it’s a joint that might be of interest to you…solid returned
