***** Hungry Bear Sub Shop.

Here’s another terrific- “out of sight, out of mind” joint for you guys…Hungry Bear Sub Shop!

Way-back on 1/7/13 Jeff Eats told you guys- about the Hungry Bear Sub Shop located at 10521 Southwest 109th Court in Miami…

Long story short, until yesterday afternoon- Jeff Eats hadn’t been back since that- tale (reprinted down below) first appeared!

Anyway,

Had lunch at the 10521 Southwest 109th Court joint- and I gotta tell you that the honey mustard chicken and cheese-steak subs that Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats split- absolutely killed!

No fooling around, Hungry Bear Sub Shop is right up there with the best sub-shops in South Florida. The only problem with this joint, is that it is something like 57 miles (one way) from my Boca Raton home- so like I said 2.6 seconds ago, “out of sight, out of mind.”

All I can tell you guys is- that if you live or work anywhere near these joints (don’t forget, there are 2-of them in Miami) do yourself a big favor- and catch some subs there- they’re really good!

***** Hungry Bear Sub Shop, 3399 Northwest 72nd Avenue, Miami, Florida 33122, (305) 592-2515 and 10521 Southwest 109th Court, Miami, Florida 33178, (305) 595-8385.

Jeff Eats knows and you guys know that “sub” joints are a dime a dozen down here in South Florida…Like anything else, you got some great ones, some good ones and some crap ones. Well! Hungry Bear Sub Shop is one of the great ones. Just so there is no confusion, there are 2-of them in Miami. Now nothing for nothing, Jeff Eats recently “tried” the 10521 Southwest 109th Court outpost—so I can only talk-on that one…

Now for background noise—I’m going to assume that you guys know exactly what this joint looks like and how it works. For you folks who just came in from Venus or Mars—handful of tables, order at/pickup at the counter—sign board with loads of small/large hot and cold subs, handful of salads/sides.

Sampled “items” included…honey mustard chicken sub, tuna salad sub, cheese steak sub, cheese burger sub. As I intimated about 9 seconds ago, Hungry Bear Sub Shop makes some absolutely dynamite subs. Real-nice crispy sub bread and the “fillings” were all delicious.

You guys do know that this food “reviewing” business is 1000 percent subjective…What Jeff Eats might like–you guys might hate and vice versa. So–I’ll leave it up to you to decide if the right “call” was made here.

Hungry Bear Sub Shop is open Monday-Saturday 10am-8pm and Sunday 10am-5pm.

* The Guy In The Middle Was The Doctor.

Jeff Eats just read this story on Aol.com.

If this wasn’t so sad, it would actually be funny.

Who in their right mind, would listen to a guy who did THAT to himself?

Fredric Brandt, dermatologist to Madonna, Kelly Ripa and more, was found dead on Sunday after a recent bout of depression.

Joke on Tina Fey show that reportedly ‘devastated’ him…

Dermatologist to the stars, Dr. Fredric Brandt, was reportedly found dead at age 65 in his Miami, Fla. mansion on Sunday, April 5.

The doctor’s celebrity patients included Madonna, Kelly Ripa and model Stephanie Seymour.

Dr. Brandt admitted that he did use his own face to test out products and procedures. “I’ve been kind of a pioneer in pushing the limits to see how things work and what the look would be,” he told The New York Times. “Would I change anything I’ve done? I might not have used as much Botox, because you don’t want to look quite as frozen.”

* SOPHIE, TOTIE & BELLE.

Got a something real good for you guys…

SOPHIE, TOTIE & BELLE which is set to run at the Weisman Delray Community Center, 7091 West Atlantic Avenue, Delray Beach, Florida 33446 (561) 558-2100 from April 10th-May 31st…

Years ago, Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats saw the Fort Lauderdale production of- SOPHIE, TOTIE & BELLE and I gotta tell you that this Musical Comedy was an absolute home-run!

Jeff Eats knows that casts-change…so we’ll have to see how 2015’s does- BUT- based on the “script” alone, I’m thinking this is gonna be a real good-one!

Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats are gonna pick up- a pair of tickets…

Printed down below is the “DRAMA” surrounding this latest production and how you can get tickets.

SOPHIE TUCKER, TOTIE FIELDS and BELLE BARTH!

Unfortunately, our former space at Delray Square became unsafe for our audiences and, as most of you know, it took us several weeks to find a new venue that is both conveniently located for our customers (we are literally just a few short minutes up the road) and had the facilities to house

ONE OF THE MOST POPULAR MUSICAL-COMEDIES EVER TO PLAY S. FLORIDA!

Our 2000 production moved directly from Ft. Lauderdale to Theater4 off-Broadway!

SOPHIE, TOTIE & BELLE is a riotously funny musical based on a fictional meeting between legendary & ground-breaking female performers, Sophie Tucker, Totie Fields and Belle Barth.

With a full-out belt score & some of the best comedic material ever written (mind you, Belle Barth, referred to as the female Lenny Bruce was not for the shy or prudish among us), this delightful musical promises to be among the most fun you will have this season!
An R-rated Act Made in Heaven!
The playhouse is rollicking like the old Miami Beach clubs that Fields and Barth frequented, and Tucker was known to visit. – Sun-Sentinel

***** Publix Old Fashioned Naturally Flavored Lemonade.

Nothing for nothing, Jeff Eats absolutely loves a nice-ice-cold glass of lemonade.

Over the years, I’ve literally tried all of the ready-to-drink brands…like, Newmans’ Own, Tropicana, Country Time, Minute Maid, Simply Lemonade, Whole Foods 365 Organic…

Just between you and Jeff Eats, Publix Old Fashioned Naturally Flavored Lemonade-holds its own against-most of the competition.

The play here, a gallon of Publix fetches $2.99 and on the right-day… IF- YOU BUY ONE YOU GET ONE FOR FREE!

Lemonade drinkers…you now know what Jeff Eats drinks!

***** DISH OF THE WEEK (Sunday- 4/5/15)

One of Jeff Eats’ favorite menu items…

CHEESEBURGER & FRENCH FRIES
($7.50)

HiWay Burger
12 Southeast 5th Avenue
Delray Beach
(561) 243-6460
hiwayburger.com
Latest Review: 5/29/12

Trust Jeff Eats when I tell you that the fast food flat-top grilled cheeseburger that HiWay Burger cooks-up is an absolute homerun…same goes for its hand-cut fresh French fries! Just between you and me, HiWay’s stuff easily holds its own against the big boys -who shall remain nameless (Five Guys, BurgerFi, Shake Shack). For you guys who for some unknown reason don’t like hamburgers, HiWay has a Veggie Burger and a Fried Chicken Sandwich.

* Easter Sunday -Festival Flea Market Mall.

The joint is open tomorrow 9:30am-6pm.

* American Pop 60’s.

No ifs ands or buts…one of Florida’s best -60’s American Rock n Roll cover bands…and it’s a free concert!

Hooters, 2240 Northwest 19th Avenue, Boca Raton, Florida 33431, (561) 391-8903.

Jeff Eats is gonna take a shot here and assume that you guys know what type of a joint Hooters is…for those of you who have been living on Mars for the past 20 years or so- national sports bar chain, full bar, tons of tvs, waitresses in short shorts/tank-tops, mediocre food. Give or take, there are something like 460 locations in the United States- with a load of them in Florida. Best guess here, including last night- maybe I’ve eaten in a-Hooters something like 6 times in my entire lifetime!

Real fast story,

Last night Jeff Eats, Mrs. Jeff Eats, Daughter Jeff Eats and Son Jeff Eats ate in the Boca Raton joint for the first time…chicken Caesar, breaded wings (garlic parmesan, bbq), cheeseburger sliders, French fries, onion rings, chicken quesadilla, pulled bbq pork sandwich, blackened mahi sandwich and all I can tell you is that everything was MEDIOCRE. No fooling here, every item was just BLAND. Trust me, I know that the word “bland” means all kinds of things to people- but for what it’s worth, everything- literally had no taste- if that makes sense to you? Just so we are straight with each other- the previous 5 times that I had eaten at a-Hooters- were “passable” meals-but nonetheless passable- last night’s meal which by-the-way was the first at the Boca joint- absolutely stunk!

Now onto the waitresses…in Jeff Eats’ case- the waitress angle- its sort of like window shopping with a cancelled credit card…or something like that!

If you are still interested, you can check menu/prices/locations/info at hooters.com.

To wrap it up, Jeff Eats isn’t particularly looking forward to there being a #7 Hooters’ outing!
