China Palace only game in area

Well this is the only game in town in a 5 mile area. I must say it is not too shabby. The first Chinese place that actually followed my order for extra Hot pepper on my kung pao chicken.
You can have a sit down to eat but most folks just get it to go..
Service was quick and you can call ahead. Lunch entree are 5.50 combination plates up to12 bucks.
The better deal are the lunch. I had a orange chicken and it seem to be a bit light in weight but it was tasty.
So if in the area give them a try.

TGIF FRIDAYS eatery

Well folks I had my freebie of a Vet's meal. Free is always 5 stars but the food is another question. As usual the good first.

Tiffany  my server was excellent. The choices were the best on Vet day.

I picked the french dip. It was good but not as good as, Phillipe where it originated in Los Angles,CA.. It was created by a LAPD officer 60 years ago. Phillipe raised the price of coffee from 10 cents to 50 cents 2 year ago
 The quality of meat was good. I did not like the horseradish sauce on it though. The au jus was on the thick side, a bit salty & sweet.There were mushrooms in it.  In the original recipe no mushrooms. Overall good and a bit messy.
The french fries were wonderful.
Will I come back YES over all a great place.

whole foods

Been a long time but here is a item to read. Whole Foods

I understand why Whole Foods decided to locate in Naples. This store is for the following types of people. A. for the healthy obsessive type. B. Must have the most expensive stuff. C. Just too much money on hand D. And the spoiled type.

I must say they do spoil you. The customer service is OUTSTANDING. Everyone is smiling and asking if I need help. Which is  really great. At the end of almost every aisle is FREE sample of cookies or bread salmon & such.
Whole Food must get a percent of the term gluten free ..EVERY 2 feet is a little sign. Its everywhere.
Plus the term organic. Though I do not believe there is a government standard for organic for everything on the law books.

I must say the cooks & chefs do a Excellent job on all the prepared food. The bakery has to die for stuff. Great for the taste buds bad for for the waist line and diabetics.

They do use local produce and such.  Salmon was at a good price of $5.99 lb... cheaper than Costco. Though the local crab claws were 35 bucks a pound.ouch

Over all a good place but not for the average family or those living pay check to pay check.

I bought a few items: fresh made and sliced  to order french bread, some foreign hot cocoa powder. olives and such at $10.99 lb. and the deal of the day BOGO of red pepper & garlic hummus,4.29.

Oh yes take note at the check out counter is a small sign that states: ALL FORM OF PAYMENT ACCEPTED... That tells me they will accept a GOAT, PIG, GOLD DUST OR DIAMONDS if I desired to use. So if you wish to use other payment feel free !!!!!!!!!!
