***** 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…

Pasta Dishes

Now nothing for nothing, you and Jeff Eats both know, that if the stuff Mimi’s is selling ain’t good- having all the “stock” in the world isn’t gonna help…trust Jeff Eats, the meat lasagna, eggplant rollotini, chicken scaparellio that we had for dinner last night- were right on the money. 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! One beautiful thing, as good as the food maybe- like many other restaurants and markets- Mimi’s owners can’t spell worth-a damn. Right off the top of Jeff Eats’ head- Veal Marcela and Chicken Gordon Blue need some work!

Mimi’s is an absolute must try…

Mimi’s is open Tuesday-Saturday 8am-6pm, Sunday 8am-2pm, closed Monday.

***** 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!

Guaranteed, his upcoming Fort Lauderdale IMPROV shows will be SRO…

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 Australian Bee Gees Show.

***** 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

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.
