This joint’s food is outrageously delicious!

***** Jamaica Kitchen, 8736 Southwest 72nd Street, Miami, Florida 33173, (305) 596-2585.

Right off the bat, this Jamaican hole-in-the-wall “fast food” joint- is an absolute must try…maybe its got 1 table that seats-4 and a handful of counter-seats–so don’t expect to be entertaining your future in-laws there–or holding a bridal shower, or something like that!

I think that you guys know or should know by now, that Jeff Eats is always “straight” with you…unlike many food “critics”- “bloggers”- “so called experts”- my sole goal is to find cool joints that are banging out delicious food. I really have no interest in the “hows and whys” the food got made.

Anyway, back to Jamaica Kitchen…

A number of years ago, Mrs. Jeff Eats “forced” me to do a 7-day Caribbean cruise with our kids. The two dolls (back then aged 11 and 4) played so much BINGO on the cruise, that when they got home to Boca Raton, they wanted to become Catholics…On that same cruise, Jeff Eats treated “himself” to a $5 tee shirt that said “We Be Jammin’”– Rather than going into a long winded story, let’s just say- that Jeff Eats’ knowledge of Jamaican cuisine–is kinda on the limited side–after-all, curry goat, curry ox-tail, jerk chicken weren’t exactly Thursday night staples at my mother’s Brooklyn kitchen table in the 1950s-1960s.

With that in mind, the other day I ate at Jamaica Kitchen and I gotta tell you-that the stuff served-up was fabulous. Now nothing for nothing–Jeff Eats doesn’t have a huge “file” to compare the “tried” jerk chicken/curry shrimp/fricassee chicken/mild beef patty- with…but I am telling you, the food was DELICIOUS.

From what I understand, Jamaica Kitchen (which has been around for something like 32 years) is owned by a Chinese husband-wife team who were raised in Jamaica…that’s the reason why- Jamaica Kitchen’s menu has both Jamaican and a handful of Chinese dishes like -Chinese roast chicken and suey mein listed.

Finally-you should know…Jamaica Kitchen is kind of a famous “hole in the wall.” When you check its website, www.jamaicakitchen.com for menu/prices you will find a number of newspaper/magazine articles and a September 2008 Food Network segment- where Guy Fieri of “Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives” gives the joint a rave review.

Like I said at the top of this tale, Jamaica Kitchen is an absolute must try.

Jamaica Kitchen is open Monday-Saturday 11am-8pm, closed on Sunday.

***** Dumpling King, 2064 North University Drive, Pembroke Pines, Florida, 33024, (954) 362-4966.

Got a real good fast food Chinese joint for you guys to check-out, Dumpling King in Pembroke Pines.

Simple tale to tell, yesterday afternoon, Jeff Eats, Mrs. Jeff Eats, Daughter Jeff Eats and Son Jeff Eats “discovered” Dumpling King and the joint’s food totally blew us away! Order at counter/ food delivered to table, inside table seating, reasonably priced flavored bubble teas – boiled/ fried/ steamed dumplings – appetizers – soups- dips- entrees- noodles menu.

Let’s wrap Dumpling King up by saying, that if this joint was a drop closer to Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats’ Boca Raton abode, we definitely would be real steady customers/ that the joint is open Monday, Wednesday-Sunday 11am-9pm closed on Tuesday/ that in addition to its Pembroke Pines’ location, Dumpling King has a joint in North Miami Beach and that Dumpling King is an absolute must try.

Iconic New York City bagel shop H&H Bagels has announced it has agreements in place for 25 new restaurants across the country. Currently operating five locations in New York City, H&H Bagels is now expanding outside of the tri-state area for the first time, opening new company-owned and franchised locations in Florida, California, Washington, DC, Virginia, Illinois and Connecticut. A company-owned location will also open at the newly remodeled Penn Station in New York City later this year.

“We’re excited to bring our legendary New York City bagels to cities across the country as part of our expansion plan,” says Jay Rushin, chief executive officer of H&H Bagels. “With each new company-owned and franchise location, we are looking forward to welcoming new customers to the H&H family, while working with like-minded entrepreneurs who are eager to bring an iconic brand and an authentic New York City bagel to cities all across the country.”

H&H Bagels locations under development include:

Los Angeles, California (5-unit franchise development agreement)
Tampa, Florida (5-unit franchise development agreement)

Boca Raton, Florida (franchise)
West Palm Beach, Florida (company-owned)

Additionally, the first company-owned locations outside of New York City will be in West Palm Beach, Florida at NORA, the redevelopment of West Palm Beach’s warehouse district and in Chicago, Illinois in Fulton Market. H&H Bagels’ sixth New York City location is expected to open in the fourth quarter of 2023 in the newly renovated Penn Station.

To support national expansion, H&H Bagels is opening a 20,000-square-foot bakery facility in Woodside, Queens. This new facility will provide the brand’s bagels worldwide, utilizing the original recipe and the same artisanal water bagel method that the company has used for over 50 years.
