* Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

***** Mimi’s Ravioli, 6714 Johnson Street, Hollywood, Florida 33021, (954) 983-3823.

I can’t believe that this Italian market- has been around for something like 40 years and yesterday afternoon was the first time that Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats set foot in the joint!

No fooling here, after shopping in Mimi’s Ravioli- Mrs. Jeff Eats wanted to become an Italian ( I’m thinking that-right about now my mother-in-law is turning over in her grave)…

Anyway,

Mimi’s literally has every ITALIAN FOOD known to mankind!- breads, pastries, cakes, pastas, cheeses, wines, soups, groceries, sauces, prepared hot/cold foods, frozen prepared foods, salads. olive oil- the list goes on and on!

Think I’m fooling? Here’s a list (from Mimi’s website) of just its frozen prepared meals…

Between you and me, we got a big freezer in the house, so we got- veal & peppers, veal parmesan, chicken cacciatore, stuffed shells w/sauce and veal marsala still-to-go!

Like I said 6 seconds ago, Mimi’s has been around for something like 40 years- so you gotta figure that it must be doing something right!

***** New York Pickle Co.

Real simple tale…

This afternoon, Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats went to the Festival Marketplace- for a buck we got 2- sour pickles on sticks (STICKLES?) from the New York Pickle Co. and it was the best buck that we spent all week!

Printed down below is Jeff Eats’ 8/15/2010 “review” of New York Pickle Co.

_________

August 10, 2010
***** New York Pickle Co., Festival Marketplace, 2900 West Sample Road, Pompano Beach, Florida 33073, (954) 935-6019.

One of life’s simple pleasures…walking around the Festival Marketplace eating a sour pickle on a stick…don’t knock it till you’ve tried it…and it only costs 60 cents, 2 for a buck.

New York Pickle Co. is a “stand” located in the Festival Marketplace. The joint has been around for 18 years and has some of the most delicious sour–half sour–tomatoes–sauerkrat–peppers–olives in all of South Florida. The stuff is shipped in weekly from New York City and is sold from “old fashioned” barrels.

For you “old time” New Yooorkers…New York Pickle Co. is as close to Guss’ Pickles as you are gonna come. By the way, Guss’ which was around for close to 100 years (on the lower eastside) closed a few years ago.

Like I said before, one of life’s simple pleasures. Personally, I’d rather walk around a flea-market with a sour pickle on a stick than a cup of yogurt, any day of the week.

Trust me on this one—to paraphase Mikey’s brother…”Try it, you’ll like it.”

New York Pickle is open Monday-Friday 9:30am-5pm and Saturday-Sunday 9:30am-6pm.

***** DISH OF THE WEEK (Sunday- 3/15/15)

One of Jeff Eats’ favorite menu items…

LARGE CHEESE PIZZA
$11.95

Villa Rose Pizza
1114 State Road 7
Hollywood
(954) 083-7660
villarosepizza.com
Latest Review: 7/7/14

If you want to eat some of the most delicious thin/crisp/sweet sauce pizza that you have ever had- then you gotta eat at Villa Rose Pizza in Hollywood. Trust Jeff Eats here, the pizza is absolutely off the chart! The joint has been around since 1957-and give or take a flat screen tv- the décor is the original ’57 furniture. Just in case you got a non-pizza eater in the car, Villa Rose has- a load of other real good Italian stuff- so everybody is gonna find what to eat.

* Justin Willman.

Last year, Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats saw-Justin Willman at the Palm Beach IMPROV…the guy absolutely killed it!-every show-in West Palm Beach “sold out.”

Go see him, you- will have an absolute blast!

Here’s some bio- taken from improvftl.com
Justin Willman:
The Los Angeles Times calls Justin Willman, “a new breed of magician who’s making magic cool again for grown-ups.” From his monthly sell-out shows in the back of a trendy LA comic book shop to huge theaters and music venues across the country, Justin has become one of the busiest touring performers in America. His comedy-flavored miracles have earned him a devoted cult following as well as frequent television appearances on The Ellen Degeneres Show and The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. Sweet-toothed frosting fans will recognize Justin as the magical host of Cupcake Wars on the Food Network for the past nine seasons, but his greatest trick to date was receiving a standing ovation from President Obama following a private performance at the White House. How did he do it? Magnets.

Born in St. Louis, Missouri, Justin began entertaining at the age of 12. After breaking both of his arms trying to ride a bicycle while wearing rollerblades (a hopeless attempt to impress girls), he started learning card tricks as an alternative to physical therapy. Nicknamed by his mother as “Justin Kredible”, he officially turned pro when his parents hired him to perform at his sister’s fifth birthday party. (He still has not been paid for the gig.)

Justin is a graduate of Emerson College in Boston, and currently resides in Los Angeles. He does not own a rabbit.

* Halloween Candy!

Why do these ISIS guys always dress as if it was Halloween?

Do you think that the United States Army, Air Force, Navy, Marine Corps, Coast Guard are really scared of guys dressed like this? Jeff Eats doesn’t think so!

While we are on the subject of Halloween Candy- your all-time favorites?

***** The Whale’s Rib Raw Bar.

Jeff Eats got this e-mail last night.

Jeff,
My wife and I are down here in Deerfield Beach with another couple. We are from Fort Lee, New Jersey and we’ll be down until this coming Sunday. We are just looking to catch some warm weather and sun. Not looking for fancy. Just want good solid food which we can enjoy in our bathing suits. Wouldn’t mind a fish place. Saw your blog and you seem to be the go to man for this type of thing. By the way, we are staying at the Wyndham Deerfield Beach Resort which is right by the beach.
Thanks, Red Bobby

Red Bobby:

Give The Whale’s Rib Raw Bar a shot. Jeff Eats’ 7/12/2008 “review” is down below.

By the way, your hotel is something like 6 seconds- walking distance from The Whale’s Rib Raw Bar.

I’m-thinking- it’s just what the doctor ordered!

Thanks for reading…

July 12, 2008
***** The Whale’s Rib Raw Bar, 2031 NE Second Street, Deerfield Beach, Florida (954) 421-8880.

The Whale’s Rib is located one-block from Deerfield Beach. If you go to its website www.whalesrib.com you will find everything you need to know about this joint. This is basically a neighborhood pub that “specializes” in fish/seafood…it also has meat/chicken dishes, but like I said, fish/seafood is the game here. By the way, this isn’t gourmet “cooking”…The Whale has more fried this and fried that-than you can shake a stick at. The dresscode is bathing-suit…tee shirt/shorts is considered formal wear.

The Whale is an easy going–casual joint. Decent food…decent prices. It is open 7 days a week for lunch and dinner…it is always packed.

Zinger’s Delicatessen’s hand sliced pastrami

* New York City’s 8 Essential Delicatessens.

Jeff Eats just read the below “story” on grubstreet.com.

Take a look at the Pastrami Queen mention…

Just an “observation”- unless Jeff Eats has all of his facts wrong… Gary Zinger the co-owner of Zinger’s Delicatessen in Boca Raton, is the former owner of both Pastrami King in Queens, NY and Pastrami Queen in Manhattan.

Now, you know and I know that- “best” lists are just somebody’s subjective call…that said, Jeff Eats has eaten in all 8-joints listed and I gotta tell you that the “authors” know their stuff…

Now, putting two and two together- should be telling you, that if Gary Zinger did it in New York, he is probably doing it in South Florida-that being, making great pastrami…

Long story short, Zinger’s is definitely one of the best New York Kosher Style Delis in Florida…so, if you want a dynamite pastrami sandwich- without having to spend $652 on a Delta ticket- you now know where you can get it! By the way, Zinger’s brisket, corned beef, tongue ain’t exactly chopped liver either!

For you guys into “reading”…Jeff Eats got a few Zinger’s “reviews” that you can checkout…just use the SEARCH to find them!

Praise of the Deli March 5, 2015 8:35 a.m.
New York City’s 8 Essential Delicatessens
By Rob Patronite and Robin Raisfed

In Praise of the DeliGrub Street never needs a reason to celebrate our city’s esteemed roster of delicatessens, but since this week marks the New York release of the new documentary Deli Man, we’re going all in on the subject today.

You know them by their come-hither hot-dog-and-knish window displays, their celebrity photos, and most of all, their unmistakable, olfactorily assaulting aroma. The Jewish delicatessen is an invention and a totem of this town, and every self-respecting New Yorker of a certain age has his or her favorite, where the pastrami is ostensibly juicier, the franks snappier, and the matzo balls fluffier. (Never mind that most of them nowadays get their pre-cured meats, bread, and mustard from the same few suppliers, and that the menus are virtually interchangeable). In the world of delis perhaps more than anywhere else, nostalgia is all. But for those who equate the smoky, salty, overstuffed, full-sour, schmaltz-seasoned flavor of the Ashkenazi delicatessen with the identity not only of the New York Jew but of the New Yorker, period, the genre is consecrated ground, worthy of preservation. Here are our favorites.

Liebman’s Delicatessen
Due to its location in the Bronx hamlet of Riverdale, Liebman’s doesn’t get the tourist mobs of Katz’s and Carnegie. Which isn’t to say it doesn’t have its regulars, like the dapper dude who stopped in for a quick lunch one frigid afternoon. His order was delivered virtually as soon as he slid into his vinyl booth: a glass of kosher Merlot and an enormous bowl of matzo-ball soup, with a by-request bottle of Sriracha on the side. While we’ve yet to try that particular pairing, we can heartily recommend the slightly chewy but flavorful Romanian skirt steak and the excellent stuffed cabbage, served in a sweet-and-sour gravy dotted with yellow raisins. The house combo (Liebman’s Favorite) is an enlightening Deli 101 for the budding fresser, an open-faced sandwich of hot pastrami and corned beef with well-done deli fries (the snubbed shape is specific to the genre, as is the greasy quasi-crispness) and a wedge of stuffed derma, which is to Jews as haggis is to Scots and scrapple is to the Pennsylvania Dutch. In other words, just eat, don’t ask questions.

2nd Ave Deli
For a while, things looked dire for East Village institution 2nd Ave Deli, beginning with founder Abe Lebewohl’s murder and the joint’s subsequent closing and relocation. But the deli community rallied when the place resurfaced in Kips Bay, spiffier than ever, with all the familiar front-of-house faces and back-of-house recipes. Many fans never get past the ever-popular pastrami and even better corned beef (we like them on twin rolls). But the place excels with Jewish soul food that tastes like an actual bubbe (or a fleet of them) is toiling away in the kitchen. The mushroom-barley soup is rich and woodsy. The long-cooked Sabbath stew cholent, bursting with meat and beans, eats like a Yiddish cassoulet. And the chicken in the pot makes you wonder if this is what the government should be mandating, never mind vaccines. If you’re feeling invulnerable, toss some gribenes on your chopped liver. And if you don’t give your waiter tsuris, he might surprise you with an egg-cream shot to wash it all down — minus the milk, of course. That wouldn’t be kosher.

Pastrami Queen
Pastrami Queen, like the Jewish people themselves, has clung to its traditions while being uprooted time and again. Born Pastrami King in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, the deli eventually relocated to Kew Gardens, Queens, before changing gender and settling into its current cramped quarters on the Upper East Side — little more than a chrome display case, a handful of tables, and a TV on the wall to keep the solitary fresser company. Big flavors emerge from the tiny kitchen: jumbo knishes; fries showered with garlic chips; a bright, crunchy, and unusually appealing “health” salad, sweet and vinegary at once. But who are you kidding? You’re not here for the salad. You’re here for the pastrami. Insist on having it hand-cut, and the resultant slices are juicy, crumbly, and fiendishly good, with a satisfying balance of smoke and spice. The sandwich is further distinguished by the seeded Orwasher’s rye, which is several cuts above today’s deli standard.

Carnegie Deli
One of the most cherished deli traditions has always been to show great contempt for the customer. Now our pastrami palaces have become disorientingly friendly. (Perhaps it’s a misguided response to the delicatessen having been placed on the endangered species list.) One exception: the Carnegie. The best way to describe the man who shoved plates of food at us the other night and made sure we understood that cash tips were preferred is a cross between an unfunny and unintelligible Triumph the Insult Comic Dog and Attila the Hun. As for what to eat, the matzo-ball soup is terrific. The towering Woody Allen, an outsize corned-beef-and-pastrami combo, is a little bland but satisfying, exemplifying the Carnegie’s quantity-over-quality M.O. (This is the sandwich the late Bob Simon famously requested after being held hostage in Iraq for 40 days.) Triumph the Insult Waiter will recommend the cheesecake for dessert, further proof that his jokes are bad. But the food here is mostly beside the point. The Carnegie is important because it’s the last of the great tourist-hazing Broadway showbiz delis. Where else, after all, can you go these days to be treated like dirt by a waiter in a bow tie and tuxedo vest?

Katz’s Delicatessen
Just stepping into what Milton Glaser and Jerome Snyder, New York’s original Underground Gourmets, described some 50 years ago as a living, breathing Brueghel painting is still a great, odoriferous, slightly harrowing thrill. An ecstasy of chaos and clinking plates. No serious student of deli has not been to Katz’s. Nothing else like it in the world. Yes, the pastrami and corned beef are hand-sliced and usually terrific, and that’s why you go. But truth be told, it’s the snappy hot dogs (natural-casing all-beef Sabrett’s) we can’t resist. Chalk it up to expert technique and what must be the flavor-enhancing mojo of a well-seasoned, decades-old griddle.

Mill Basin Kosher Deli
Will perfunctoriness be the ruin of the deli? Is a little quirky inventiveness, a dash of irreverence, what our delicatessens need? Then why don’t you hear more about this big, comfortable, 41-year-old neighborhood restaurant and its PLT — a purist’s nightmare of pastrami cooked to a baconlike crisp on the griddle, then dressed with shredded iceberg, tomato, and mayo on toasted rye? Fantastic. Or its latke chips — essentially latkes that have been cut thin like sliced tomatoes, then refried to bump up the ratio of crisp to soft? There’s a delicious pastrami egg-roll, too, that may or may not have preceded the one Joe Ng and Ed Schoenfeld introduced at FoodParc’s RedFarm stand a while back. Ultimately, though, you judge a delicatessen by its core cured meats, and Mill Basin acquits itself well on all accounts. Particularly good are its corned beef and hot garlic wurst.

Mile End
By now everyone knows that Mile End is New York’s most forward-thinking delicatessen: the seasonal approach, the emphasis on sourcing high-quality ingredients, the Stumptown coffee. What’s still undersung is how much of the menu is made from scratch, from the full-sour pickles to the beef salami. And Noah Bernamoff and Rae Cohen are the rare operators who cure, smoke, steam, and hand-slice their own pastrami (okay, Montreal-style smoked meat) — a costly, labor-intensive task that most delis have all but given up on, opting to outsource from Hebrew National, say, or Empire National. The standout dishes are still the smoked meat, the Ruth Wilensky salami sandwich, and the pastrami burger, but what’s also great about Mile End is how they keep the menu fresh. A recent visit, for instance, turned up some tasty whitefish croquettes and a surprisingly good chicken shawarma platter.

Jay & Lloyd’s Kosher Delicatessen
John Besh dropped by Jay & Lloyd’s last year to teach the owners how to spruce up their brisket on the restaurant reality show Hungry Investors. No offense, Mr. Besh, but we’re sticking with the pastrami. As at virtually every kosher deli, it’s cured and smoked off-premises, at a location no tight-lipped deli man will ever reveal, but the result has a nice, smoky kick and suitably succulent texture. The place caters to a diverse, working-class Sheepshead Bay crowd with no shortage of shtick in the decor or on the menu. The Dippedy Doo Da! is a roast beef au jus that might have been engineered to compete with Brennan & Carr’s down the road. The soft, plump zucchini pancakes are a house specialty. And if it doesn’t strike you as sacrilege against all that is holy, you might consider the Dave’s Deli Corner, wherein char-grilled pastrami and pineapple are layered on garlic bread

***** Burgers & Suds.

No fooling here, at least once or twice a week (would you believe once every 6 weeks?)- Jeff Eats gets “asked” something like- What’s your best burger place down here?

You regular readers “know”- that I’m really not into “best” lists…that said, I just ate lunch at Burgers & Suds and (once-again) the joint blew me away.

Printed down below are a bunch of Jeff Eats’ Burger & Suds “stories”…if reading old junk isn’t your game, just skip it- real fast, those stories just summarize- as to how terrific the food is!

I am telling you, that this joint is an absolute must try! Everything that Burger & Suds makes-from burgers to wings to salads is dynamite!

Burgers & Suds is an absolute “dump”- a “dive”- with some of the most amazing and delicious food in South Florida!

Like I said 2 seconds ago, a must try!

Received the following email last night…
Jeff,
My wife and I recently moved because of business from Atlanta to Pompano Beach.
Simply put, we are real foodies. We love to try all types of restaurants and foods.
We are huge Guy Fieri and Adam Richman fans. Like Guy and Adam we are really into what Guy would call DIVES.
Read about you and JEFFEATS.COM in Boca Life Magazine.
Your site seems to have loads of DIVES. You seem like our type of guy.
How about starting us new Floridians off with a great DIVE that does burgers, wings, fries, onion rings and sandwiches?

Tom L:

Welcome to South Florida.
Give Burgers & Suds a shot.
For what it’s worth Guy Fieri calls them DIVES…Jeff Eats calls them JOINTS! You know- I say TOMATO and you say tomato!
For your reference, I have reprinted previous Jeff Eats’ Burger & Suds “stories.”
Trust me, you’re not the first “foodies” that I have recommended this joint to.
Just so you know, Jeff Eats loves Burgers & Suds…the food is- as Guy Fieri would say, OFF THE CHART!
Let me know what you guys think-of this DIVE- I mean JOINT!!!!!

Burgers & Suds, 360 East McNab Road, Pompano Beach, Florida 33060, (954) 586-4258.
There are only 3 things in life that are certain…
1. Death
2. Taxes.
3. After Jeff Eats buys a stock it goes down.
Anyway,
In past stories (Rev. 7/13/13 & 2/21/14) Jeff Eats told you guys about Burgers & Suds- a terrific full service burger joint that made absolutely delicious burgers/hot dogs/flat breads/wings/salads/sandwiches–back then, Burgers & Suds was a hole-in-the-wall on Commercial Boulevard in Fort Lauderdale.
To make a long story short,
Three days ago, Burgers & Suds moved to a new location, 360 East McNab Road, Pompano Beach, (954) 586-4258. The new spot seats something like 110 inside and 20 outside…it has a small beer/wine bar that seats maybe 10.
Now please pay close attention…
Last night Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats ate at Burgers & Suds and I am telling you–this joint is going to be a HOME RUN…actually, make that a GRAND SLAM. The cheeseburger/char-grilled hot dog/french fries/sweet potato fries/grilled chicken wrap/bacon wrapped chicken wings–were terrific. Trust Jeff Eats, the stuff coming out of Burgers & Suds’ kitchen is in a whole ‘nother league from what most South Florida burger/American Style restaurants are serving. Just that simple.
Try Burger & Suds…my money says that you’ll love it!
Jeff Eats’ articles dated 7/13/13 and 2/21/14 are reprinted below.
Burgers & Suds is open 7 days a week 10am-10pm.

The other day Jeff Eats received the following e-mail…
Hey Jeff,
My wife and I recently moved to Fort Lauderdale and came across your site when we were looking for restaurants to try.
You really have a load of reviews and we enjoyed reading about many of your picks.
We are very new to the area so we are just getting our feet wet in finding places to go and could use some help.
For starters, what in your opinion is the best relatively unknown ‘hole in the wall’ that does salads, burgers, sandwiches?
Thanks,

Jeff Eats absolutely loves this joint.
No question in my mind, that Burger & Suds is one of the best “hole in the walls” in South Florida.
The food is amazing.
Burgers & Suds (Fort Lauderdale)
Posted on July 13th, 2013 · American Breakfast Fort Lauderdale Pizza
***** Burgers & Suds, 261 East Commercial Boulevard, Fort Lauderdale, Florida 33334, (954) 772-8007.
You guys can thank me later!
Last night, Jeff Eats ate at Burgers & Suds…for our purposes- let’s call it an “American-Style” hole-in-the-wall that serves salads, burgers, wings, pizzas, sandwiches/wraps, tacos/burritos, Saturday-Sunday breakfast. The name Burgers & Suds is a bit deceiving…for sure, the joints- got 13 different burgers and something like 10 different bottled beer brands—but as I mentioned 2 seconds ago, there is a load of other “items” to stuff your face with.
Before I get into what I “tried”—let me tell, if you want to eat some outrageously good food—then you gotta go to Burgers & Suds. By the way, the joint has only been open…5-months.
I think you guys know by now, that Jeff Eats has eaten in his fair share of South Florida restaurants. Trust me on this, Burgers & Suds’ food is heads and shoulders better than most of the joints that I have been to.
Just so you know, Burgers & Suds looks like an absolute “dump” inside and outside…the inside has a bar that seats maybe 6 and 3 hi-tops that seat 9—the awning covered outside patio has a handful of tables with seating for 24…do the math—we are talking a total of 39 seats for the whole joint.
Before Jeff Eats goes any further, let me tell you that Burgers & Suds is my kinda of a joint or shall I say dump? I seriously doubt that most people looking at Burgers & Suds for the first time-would even consider eating there…
I’m sure, that you-know the old saying…”Don’t judge a book by its cover”—well, Burgers & Suds could be the poster-child for that famous line.
Last night, Jeff Eats’ party of-4 “had”…honey garlic wings (10 wings $8.95), Greek salad ($5.95), 1/2lb cheeseburger with onion rings ($8.95), chicken wrap with sweet potato fries ($7.95), 10″ margarita pizza ($7.95), lamb burger with French fries ($10.95) and the food was amazingly good. No fooling around here, I would rate the cheeseburger right up there with the best that I’ve had ANYWHERE. Let me go as far and say—every item that we had was terrific and could hold its own against South Florida’s best of breed.
Burgers & Suds was a rare find. This joint isn’t some-guy throwing pre-formed frozen burger patties on a grill…the joint is supplied daily by a local butcher shop…hamburgers are charbroiled while lamb burgers are flat-top grilled—salad dressings are made in-house. The back-of-the-house really knows how to “cook” and portion size/price points tells me that a real “pro” is running Burger & Suds.
For right now, I’m thinking-that not too many people know about this joint- but, I’m willing to bet you a breakfast/lunch/or dinner–your choice, that this anonymity won’t last too much longer. There is no way that food like this—doesn’t find a gigantic audience.
For you “drinkers”–in addition to 10 bottled beer-brands, Burgers & Suds has a handful of wines by the glass/bottle…
For you “sports people”– there are 2 big flat screen tvs inside and 1 big flat screen outside.
Not to be too repetitious or nothing—but I’m telling you, you gotta try this joint!
You can check www.burgerssuds.com for menu/prices.
Burgers & Suds is open for lunch/dinner Monday-Friday 10am-9pm, Saturday-Sunday 8am-9pm (breakfast 8am-noon).
