Eggs Cetera Cafe, 6346 Lantana Road, Lake Worth, Florida 33463, (561) 968-8200.

This past- Sunday morning, Jeff Eats and his good friend Roy had breakfast at a new breakfast-lunch joint…Eggs Cetera Cafe in Lake Worth.

Eggs Cetera which opened about a month ago has both indoor and covered outdoor patio seating…and is open 7 days a week 7am-4pm.

Eggs Cetera has an extensive all-day breakfast/lunch menu.

You can check menu/prices at eggsceteracafe.com.

The reason why my “comments” may seem a bit terse, is because they are!

Just so you know, the food was good, the service was good, the prices were right…absolutely no problems with the $9.99 meat omelet/home fries that I had- same for the $8.99 veggie omelet/grits that Roy ordered. That said, the toasted everything bagel (I had) and the plain toasted bagel (Roy had)- were beyond lousy…just imagine white bread disguised as a bagel and you’ll be on the right page!

Now for the “terse”…prior to being seated- Jeff Eats and Roy had maybe a 5 minute conversation with Eggs’ owner-Peter…among other things- we talked about his former restaurant Benny’s On The Beach, his plans for Eggs Cetera, the Jeff Eats’ blog and other restaurants in the area…2-3 minutes after that conversation, the hostess sat us at what had to be the worst-outside table…to keep this short, the wait-station was something like 1-foot from Jeff Eats’ back when seated…you wanna talk cramped! Trust Jeff Eats, that “table” ruined what “would” have been a pretty strong-breakfast outing. Just between you and me, I coulda bitched and had the table changed- but then I’d only have had the bagels to dump on!

Let me wrap this up for you, this Eggs Cetera Café should do real-good…trust Jeff Eats- this guy Peter knows how to run a breakfast/lunch joint…but then again, just maybe he doesn’t!

Now for the sticky part of this “conversation”- Jeff Eats knows that IF I AM PETER, 1-I don’t give Jeff Eats a crap-table and 2-during the breakfast I stop by the table and see how Jeff Eats and Roy are doing…but I AM NOT PETER, so crap table and no visit tells me that I WON”T BE BACK FOR ROUND #2… and I know that there are a bunch of you guys out there who are saying “Jeff Eats who do you think you are?…but that’s the call here!

Finally, just because Jeff Eats wasn’t a happy camper doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t try this joint…just a word to the wise, don’t order the everything bagel, don’t order the plain bagel and sure as hell don’t let them seat you by that wait-station!

***** Sweet Treats Bakery, 2900 West Sample Road, Pompano Beach, Florida 33073, (954) 984-4785.

Got something really terrific for you guys…Sweet Treats Bakery a brand new bakery-concession stand which opened about a-month ago in The Festival Flea Market Mall in Pompano Beach.

Long story short,

Yesterday afternoon- Mrs. Jeff Eats “needed” some baked goods for a bunch of “her” relatives visiting from New York…based on her friend Audrey’s recommendation, Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats picked-up 2-Russian coffee cakes, 2-chocolate babkas, 2 1/2 lbs.of assorted rugelach, 6 almond horns, 1 dozen chocolate chip cookies- for some unknown reason, Mrs. Jeff Eats chose not to run-the-table- by not picking-up some- of the danish, muffins, breads, Chinese cookies, chocolate meltaways, linzer tarts and hamantaschen that Sweet Treats also- features in its display cases.

Sweet Treats is owned/operated by Joanne and Mary- who combined, have 53 years in the retail bakery business…Sweet Treats’ stuff is “baked” off premises and delivered fresh every morning to The Festival Flea Market Mall-joint. From what I understand, when an item is sold out, it’s sold out- until the next day! In addition to the “items” above, Sweet Treats has a number of “no sugar added” products- and has a rotating list of cookies/cakes -that are “daily specials.”

Now, you know and Jeff Eats knows that the proof is in the pudding…and I gotta tell you, that everything we picked-up was right on the money! If I had to, but I don’t, but I will- tell you that the Russian coffee cake and the chocolate babka absolutely killed! These two “cakes” alone- made the use of my SunPass worthwhile. Now don’t get me wrong, everything that Mrs. Jeff Eats’ relatives devoured were hits- but that babka and that coffee cake were game changers.

On the price-front, Joanne and Mary are banging “things”-out at Publix type prices…for example- the babka and coffee cake fetch $7.95 a piece!

Just a word to the wise, based on what Jeff Eats saw…if you “want something in particular” call ahead- and have Joanne or Mary put it away for you…yesterday at 3:30pm, Sweet Treats’ stand was jammed with people literally buying everything in sight!- and like I said 3.2 seconds ago, when an item is sold out, it’s sold out!

Sweet Treats Bakery is open Monday-Friday 9:30am-5pm, Saturday-Sunday 9:30am-6pm.

***** The Diner, 1060 Gateway Boulevard, Boynton Beach, Florida 33426, (561) 509-0163.

Got a real- good diner for you guys…The Diner, open Monday-Thursday 7am-4pm, Friday-Sunday 7am-5pm. Check dinerongateway.com for menu/prices/info.

As expected, the menu has loads of breakfast stuff, burgers, sandwiches, salads, wraps, pitas, wings.

The other morning, Jeff Eats and a couple of buddies did breakfast…western omelette, pancakes, French toast, home fries, biscuits & gravy, grilled American cheese/bacon on rye toast, corned beef hash- and I gotta tell you everything was A-OK!

You regular Jeff Eats’ readers know, that I really enjoy “doing” diner breakfasts…good food, plenty of coffee, plenty of conversation…bagel joints work, but being a child of the 50’s- I’m kinda partial to the “diner” vibe…

To wrap this one up, Jeff Eats really enjoyed The Diner. Nothing fancy, good food, reasonable prices, good service…

* Bette Midler.

Jeff Eats first told you guys about these “concerts” way-back on 12/4/2014…

No fooling here, everyone that I have “spoken” to about these shows has bitched about how EXPENSIVE the tickets were priced…

I’m with you guys, $188.80-$475.65 is way too high. Jeff Eats -just this minute “checked” the seating maps for both shows- and there are plenty of good seats left…I guess the General Public sees the shows- like you and I do- too expensive!

Anyway, to make a long story short…if you check specials.restaurants.com- it’s running a $169 “deal” on both shows…I don’t have the full details, but for $169 you get a ticket and a $100 food-card to use at select restaurants. Just maybe worth checking out!

* 2015 Pompano Beach Festival.

If you can “handle” the admission-charge this should be a terrific event…

Jeff Eats only bitch with this festival- those $15 numbers in my book -are-just-too-high…I’m thinking 10 bucks sounds much better to me!

* The Addams Family Musical: A Creepy and Kooky Comedy.

First told you guys about this “show” way-back on 3/18/15…

Long story short,

Last night Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats saw The Addams Family and absolutely loved it. Very small theatre (maybe 50 seats) on a first come first served seating basis…16 actors, track music, 2-acts (70 minutes/50 minutes/15 minute intermission)- no fooling here, some real strong singing and dancing- along with a very funny script. Are we taking “Broadway” here? No! But trust Jeff Eats when I tell you, you won’t be disappointed. Like I said 1.7 seconds ago, Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats-loved it and I’m thinking that you will too!

If you want to “go”- goldstar.com still has a ticket ‘deal” running…

* The Addams Family Musical: A Creepy and Kooky Comedy.

Jeff Eats just picked-up 2- 4/18/15-tickets for “The Addams Family Musical: A Creepy and Kooky Comedy” which is set for an April 17-May 3 run at the Sol Theatre in Boca Raton….

For you historians out there…the show ran on Broadway in 2010-2011 and starred Nathan Lane!

Just between you and Jeff Eats, goldstar.com is running a “deal” with those- $25 tickets going for $12.50, but that’s just between you and Jeff Eats!

Not that it really matters (you-know, what I might like you might hate and vice versa)-but I’ll let you guys know what I “think” after I see the-thing!

Experience both laughter and chills as Charles Addams’ weird and wonderful characters creep into Boca Raton’s Sol Theatre for the South Florida professional premiere of The Addams Family Musical. In this fiendishly delightful award-winning musical comedy, Wednesday Addams — now a grown-up princess of darkness — has fallen for a normal boy from a respectable family and has invited him and his parents to the family mansion for a meet-and-greet gone gothic. Sit back and savor the horrific hospitality of Gomez, Morticia, Pugsley, Grandma, Lurch and everyone’s favorite weirdo, Uncle Fester, as the special occasion brings out the best — and worst — in everyone involved.

* Mr. Potato Head.

Just in case one-day you find yourself on Jeopardy!

from mom.me

Mr. Potato Head
This famous spud was the first toy to be advertised on television. From 1952 to 1963 parents had to provide their kids with actual potatoes to use as Mr. Potato Head’s body. Hasbro began manufacturing the plastic potato body that currently comes in the box in 1964.

Just between Jeff Eats and you guys, whenever I have to spell/type the word potato- I “see” former Vice President Dan Quayle’s face…do you guys have the same reaction?

***** Jr’s Gourmet Burgers, 7 Westward Drive, Miami Springs, Florida 33166, (786) 360-5347.

Here’s another Jeff Eats’ “out of sight out of mind” joint for you…Jr’s Gourmet Burgers in Miami Springs.

First told you guys about this hole in the wall burger joint- on 4/9/12 (that tale is down below)- hadn’t been back since…long story short, ate dinner there last night and I gotta tell you the bacon cheeseburger, chicken breast sandwich, onion rings, sweet potato fries, french fries were all -right on the money!

This joint is an absolute winner…only problem I got with it, it’s not in my neighborhood- thus the out of sight out of mind-designation.

No fooling here, outrageously delicious burgers…

Jr’s Gourmet Burgers (Miami Springs)
Posted on April 9th, 2012 · American Miami Lakes

***** Jr’s Gourmet Burgers, 7 Westward Drive, Miami Springs, Florida 33166, (786) 360-5347.

First, if you look, I got this joint listed as being in Miami Lakes, but it’s really in Miami Springs…don’t have a Miami Springs “category”—so you now know the city where this terrific “mom & pop” hole-in the wall burger joint is located.

One of my favorite meals is a cheeseburger–fries smothered in Ketchup–Coca Cola. Well let me tell you, Jr’s makes delicious burgers and fries. When you check Jr’s menu at www.jrsburgers.com you will find that the joint has 3- sized flat grilled burgers, 1/3 lb, 1/2 lb, 1 lb…handful of toppings…handful of sandwiches…handful of hot dogs…handful of salads—end of story. If I got it right, the pop-Jr is the “cook” and the wife is the wait-staff.

Like I said a few seconds ago–delicious burgers and fries. For the record, I did a 1/3er with American cheese ($6.99) and fries ($1.50). Let me make this real-simple, the burger and fries are right up there with the best currently out there in the South Florida market. Really-just that simple!

Jr’s is open Monday-Thursday 11am-9pm, Saturday 11am-10pm, closed on Sunday.
