This story first appeared on July 2, 2013. Just a quick update…down below the “status” of Freddy’s Frozen Custard & Steakburgers’ Florida “build-out.” Trust Jeff Eats when I tell you- that if you like fast food burgers/fries/custard- then you gotta try Freddy”s stuff! Absolutely delicious! Mark my words, this fast food burger chain which currently has 150 joints- is destined to become an absolute giant in the next few years!

* Which One Would It Be?

If you “had” to eat in–just one…Which One Would It Be?

McDonald’s
Wendy’s
Burger King
Checkers
Sonic

By the way, here’s a tip for you guys…Freddy’s Frozen Custard & Steakburgers (fast food chain with locations primarily in the western states) is planning a major “push” into Florida starting in late 2013. For right now, Freddy’s has no Florida locations.

Trust Jeff Eats on this one, Freddy’s food is dynamite—better than all of the guys listed above, though I will tell you, that it’s a real close call with Sonic. Just for the record, Jeff Eats “thinks” that Sonic is heads-and-shoulders above McDonald’s, Wendy’s, Burger King and Checkers…but please! don’t let my pick-color your picks. For what it’s worth, Jeff Eats thinks of Sonic as being the “child” that Burger King and Dairy Queen always wanted.

Check Freddy’s out at www.freddysusa.com.

Anyway…until Freddy’s arrives-to save the day (“line” courtesy of Mighty Mouse)-pick one from the list. If you got nothing better to do, feel free to elaborate on your pick.

***** Kam Wah Chinese Take Out Restaurant, 7163 Lake Worth Road, Lake Worth, Florida 33467, (561) 964-3110.

Got a very good Chinese take-out joint for you guys…Kam Wah in Lake Worth.

For those who don’t read so good- TAKE OUT, so don’t be planning EAT AT!

Kam Wah’s Hours:
Monday-Thursday 11:00 AM – 10:00 PM
Friday-Saturday 11:00 AM – 11:00 PM
Sunday Noon- 10:00 PM

Now for the tale…

Last night Jeff Eats’ pickup- order:

wonton soup
egg rolls
bbq ribs
roast pork fried rice
General Tso’s chicken
shrimp with black bean sauce
beef with broccoli

and I gotta tell you- very impressive! Applying Jeff Eats’- Brooklyn-Jewish-American Chinese Taste Test circa 1957, like I just said- very impressive!

Now, just between you guys and Jeff Eats, over the years- I’ve eaten a ton of Chinese food down here in South Florida- after awhile, one egg roll runs into another- if you get my drift? Let’s just say, that if Kam Wah was closer to my Boca Raton home- I’d be a pretty steady customer. Like I said before, very impressive!

But, you guys already knew that!

***** Pizza Girls, 114 South Clematis Street, West Palm Beach, FLorida 33401, (561) 833-4004.

Got a real good pizza joint for you guys, Pizza Girls in West Palm Beach.

Real easy concept to explain…handful of tables inside/outside, order at/pickup at the counter, menu loaded with- subs (Pizza Girls calls them heroes), pizza slices/pies, calzones, pizza rolls, salads, wings and a handful of other stuff…By the way, in addition to the Clematis Street joint, the Pizza Girls have a food truck that works Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties-you can peruse Pizza Girls’ menu and food truck schedule at pizzagirls.com.

Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats recently did-dinner which netted us…an All Beef Hot Dog Rolled in Mozzarella Cheese & Pizza Dough, a Chicken Parmesan Sub (Pizza Girls calls it a Chicken Parmesan Hero), a Calzone stuffed with Ricotta, Mozzarella & Parmesan Cheese, a Slice of Cheese Pizza and a Greek Salad and I gotta tell you- everything was pretty much right on the money! For those of you who insist on “gory details”- Jeff Eats really enjoyed the cheese pizza- thin/crisp/sweet sauce same for the sub-calzone-salad, could have done without the hot dog! Now, on the other hand, Mrs. Jeff Eats who “rated” everything as being delicious- had the hot dog as her favorite item!- which once again proves Jeff Eats’ point that this food “reviewing” gig is purely a subjective exercise and what I may like, you on the other hand- may hate!- or as the legendary philosopher Sly Stone famously pronounced:

“Everyday People”

Sometimes I’m right and I can be wrong
My own beliefs are in my song
The butcher, the banker, the drummer and then
Makes no difference what group I’m in
I am everyday people, yeah, yeah

There is a blue one
Who can’t accept the green one
For living with a fat one
Trying to be a skinny one
Different strokes
For different folks

And so on and so on
And scooby dooby dooby
Oh sha sha
We got to live together

I am no better and neither are you
We are the same, whatever we do
You love me, you hate me, you know me and then
You can’t figure out the bag I’m in
I am everyday people, yeah yeah

There is a long hair
That doesn’t like the short hair
For being such a rich one
That will not help the poor one
Different strokes
For different folks

And so on and so on
And scooby dooby dooby
Oh sha sha
We got to live together

There is a yellow one
That won’t accept the black one
That won’t accept the red one
That won’t accept the white one
Different strokes
For different folks

And so on and so on
And scooby dooby dooby
Oh sha sha
I am everyday people

Pizza Girls is open:

* THE NYSE GUYS.

Jeff Eats has been a huge- NYSE GUYS’ fan for years. Absolutely love these guys. Three first class-lead singers who “cover” the greatest hits of the 40s-50s-60s-70s.

The reason for today’s mention- saw them the other night at the Boca Black Box in Boca Raton and once again The NYSE Guys blew me away with 2-hours of great vocals/audience patter…so Jeff Eats thought he would share that…

THE NYSE GUYS’ next scheduled “public” show- Century Village, 2400 Century Blvd, Deerfield Beach, FLorida 33442, (954) 421-2556 on Saturday Night, November 28, 2015 at 8pm…if you’re a Century Village Resident- tickets are $10, if you are a Non-Resident- tickets are $15…tickets can be purchased at cveevents.com.

Trust me on this one, if you like the music of the 40s-50s-60s-70s, then you will love The NYSE Guys!

Just in case you need some convincing as to how good these guys really are…

THE NYSE GUYS

Willie, Peter and Chas are The NYSE GUYS — a three-man vocal group from Orlando. The trio performs Motown, Oldies, Doo-Wop… featuring the hits of Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons,
Neil Diamond, The Beach Boys, Dion & The Belmonts, Jay & The Americans and plenty of “Rat Pack” tunes with their own twist. With their three different and distinct vocal styles, each sings solo, duet and then accent it with some very smooth three-part harmonies.

* The Temptations & The Four Tops.

Time to put things to rest…these aren’t The Temptations or The Four Tops that many of us “grew-up” with! Imagine if New York Yankee- Hector Lopez was in Left Field and the other 8-players on the field were No-Name Rookies!…Imagine if New York Met- Ron Swoboda was in Left Field and the other 8-players on the field were No-Name Rookies!

***** Bagel City South, 6006 Southwest 18th Street, Boca Raton, Florida 33433, (561) 393-5383.

In recent days, Jeff Eats has seen a number of tractor trailers loaded with cars with New York and New Jersey license plates- unloading their “cargo”- so to save time, let me answer the inevitable “best bagels” questions by reprinting this Jeff Eats’ article from February 23, 2015…

***** Bagel City South.

Jeff Eats recently received this e-mail…

Jeff,
Long time reader.
I know you don’t like or really do ‘best’ lists.
Indulge me, if it came down to just one south Florida joint, which one would it be for bagels?
I won’t tell anyone.
Thanks,
Anthony Franza

Anthony Franza,

You know that ‘best’ lists really aren’t my game…that said, if you promise not to tell anyone!

And- thanks for reading.

Bagel City South (Boca Raton)
Posted on February 22nd, 2008 · American Boca Raton Breakfast Delicatessen

***** Bagel City South–6006 SW 18th Street, Boca Raton, Florida 33433–(561) 393-5383

Bagel City South makes some of the best New York styled bagels and bialys in South Florida. The stuff is made the old fashioned way, that being hand rolled, boiled and then oven baked.

The joint is open 7 days a week for breakfast and lunch. Great place for appetizing, burgers, deli, eggs and of course those fantastic bagels/bialys.

Sassy waitresses and talkative countermen add to the New York flavor. This is a real good one.
