***** Johnny Pies Pizzeria, 4855 Coconut Creek Parkway, Coconut Creek, Florida 33063, (954) 597-6969.

Got a real good pizza joint for you guys to checkout, Johnny Pies Pizzeria in Coconut Creek.

Real simple tale to tell- the joint has been open for something like 2 weeks, handful of tables, menu of reasonably priced- pizzas/ salads/ pastas/ hot & cold heroes/ entrees/ other stuff, open 7 days a week 11am-9pm.

Last night Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats “discovered” Johnny Pies Pizzeria- splitting a salad and pepperoni pizza and I gotta tell you, right on the money delicious!

Trust Jeff Eats on this one, I know that 1-pizza and 1-salad – don’t automatically make a joint a keeper, so Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats got plans to do Round 2- when we’ll try some of the joint’s chicken parm, garlic rolls and other stuff out! That said, based on Johnny Pies Pizzeria’s thin/crispy/sweet sauce New York Style Slices and Italian Salad- the joint is definitely looking real good in my book!

You guys can check menu/prices/location/info at johnnypiespizza.com.

* Humor!

After being married for 50 years, I took a careful look at my wife one day and said….

“Fifty years ago we had a cheap house, a junk car, slept on a sofa bed, and watched a 10-inch black and white TV. But hey I got to sleep every night with a hot 23-year-old girl. Now… I have a $750,000 home, a $45,000 car, a nice big bed, and a large-screen TV, but I’m sleeping with a 73-year-old woman.

So I said to my wife:

“It seems to me that you’re not holding up your side of things.”

My wife is a very reasonable woman.

She told me to go out and find a hot 23-year-old girl and she would make sure that I would once again be living in a cheap house, driving a junk car, sleeping on a sofa bed, and watching a 10-inch black and white TV.

Aren’t older women great? They really know how to solve an old guy’s problems!

***** Maplewood Bagel Market, 401 Maplewood Drive #1, Jupiter, Florida 33458, (561) 745-8488.

Got an absolutely terrific bagel joint for you guys to checkout- Maplewood Bagel Market in Jupiter.

Real simple tale to tell, yesterday- Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats “discovered” Maplewood Bagel Market and I gotta tell you that its stuff was/is absolutely off the chart delicious! Simple concept at work- order/pickup at the counter, nice handful of inside/outside tables, in house baked- bagels/muffins/cookies/pastries, salads, cream cheese spreads, hot & cold sandwiches, hot & cold beverages- reasonably priced menu.

Like I said a few seconds ago- absolutely off the chart delicious stuff! Now, you guys know that this food “reviewing gig” is purely a subjective thing- you know, what I like, you may hate and vice versa! With that in mind, I’m telling you that Maplewood Bagel Market’s bagels are right up there with the best- here in Florida! Just between us, I’m thinking- this joint’s bagels could easily compete with the best bagels in NYC.

Let me wrap-up Maplewood Bagel Market by saying that if the joint was located a whole lot closer to Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats’ Boca Raton abode- we definitely would be real-steady customers!

Trust Jeff Eats on this one- Maplewood Bagel Market is an absolute must try!

Maplewood Bagel Market is open: Monday-Saturday 5am-3:30pm, Sunday 6am-3pm.

***** Crazy Wok, 5764 Wiles Road, Coral Springs, Florida 33067, (954) 255-1866.

This morning Jeff Eats saw a gigantic-tractor trailer “unloading” a whole bunch of cars “with” New York and New Jersey license plates at the intersection of Sample Road & University Drive in Coral Springs.

To- save those “car owners” the time and trouble of writing Jeff Eats…

***** Crazy Wok, 5764 Wiles Road, Coral Springs, Florida 33067, (954) 255-1866.

Crazy Wok is a Chinese takeout joint. There are 2- locations, 1-in Coral Springs, 1-in Fort Lauderdale (2392 North Federal Highway)- this “story” is about the Coral Springs’ location.

Real simple story…

Last Saturday night, Jeff Eats was over-by my friend Peter’s house watching football…we ordered some Chinese stuff from Crazy Wok. We picked-up the food and Peter caught the bill…hey! it’s his house…you eat by me, I pickup the bill!

To make a long story short, we did wonton soup, egg rolls, boneless spare ribs, pan fried dumplings, General Tsao’s chicken, moo shu beef, roast pork fried rice…and I gotta tell you, the food was right on the money. Now you know and Jeff Eats knows that this food-reviewing gig is purely a subjective game. What I like you might hate and vice versa. You also do know, that what I might find sweet, you may find bitter-so forth and so on. That’s why, I very rarely kill time, telling you-what something tastes like! Suffice it to say, (as they say in internet land— imho) Crazy Wok turned out some really delicious “American” Chinese food. For those of you-looking for “real” or shall I say “authentic” Chinese food-like West Lake Fish in Vinegar Sauce (yeah-I know it sounds absolutely amazing!) you can cross Crazy Wok off-your list.

Finally…good free food, good company and a win by my University of Arizona Wildcats…made for a very pleasant evening.

One last thought, some of you guys may be wondering…If Jeff Eats went to Ithaca College and Brooklyn Law School and Mrs. Jeff Eats went to Brooklyn College…then how does the U of A work its way into the conversation? Easy, Son Jeff Eats went to U of A and Daughter Jeff Eats went to University of Connecticut- thus the RELATIONSHIPS…very expensive RELATIONSHIPS but RELATIONSHIPS nonetheless! Now that I look back, why these two scholars couldn’t- go to school in-state, is beyond Jeff Eats’ comprehension- we’ll save that discussion for another day…

If you live or work in Crazy Wok’s neighborhood…you now know about a real-good Chinese takeout joint.

You can check menu/prices at crazywok.com. The site has a handful of discount coupons that you can print out.

Crazy Wok is open 7 days a week 10am-11pm.

***** Trader Joe’s Chocolate Milk.

When was the last time that you guys drank a glass of Chocolate Milk? In my case, now I’m just guessing here, sometime in 1959!

Simple tale to tell, yesterday, while roaming the aisles of Trader Joe’s, 855 South Federal Highway, Boca Raton, Florida 33432, (561) 338-5031 I spotted Trader Joe’s Chocolate Milk ($3.99/64 Fl Oz) and did an impulse buy!

Absolutely delicious!

Like I said 3- seconds ago, a simple tale!

***** Bamboo Wok, 9181 Glades Road, Boca Raton, Florida (561) 218-6003…12040 South Jog Road, Boynton Beach, Florida (561) 742-0123…4660 West Hillsboro Boulevard, Coconut Creek, Florida (954) 427-1888.

Bamboo Wok currently has 3 South Florida locations…Boca Raton, Boynton Beach, Coconut Creek.

Bamboo Wok is a take-out-only joint.

Bamboo Wok’s food is excellent. The food is as good as your favorite South Florida Chinese take-out…in fact, Bamboo Wok’s food could compete quite nicely with most of NYC’s Chinese eat-in/take-out joints. A few of my favorite dishes are…boneless bbq spare ribs, .pan fried dumplings, moo shu pork, beef with mixed vegetables. Trust me on this, if a Bamboo Wok is in your neighborhood, after you order food the first time, you will make this your regular take-out Chinese joint.

Check out Bamboo Wok’s website www.bamboowok.com for menu/pricing details. Bamboo Wok is open 7-days a week.
