[News Boquete] Delicious Meals at Unbeatable Prices


 

 

 

Take a break from the kitchen and let the 2 Guys & A Cooler team do the cooking for you.  We offer a vast and dynamic menu with a little something for everyone.  Thai, Chinese, Mexican, American Comfort Food, Italian Dishes, Vietnamese, and so much more!!  At 2 Guys & A Cooler we subscribe to the Large/Small philosophy, LARGE portions small prices😉.  Be a part of the Panama Food Club experience. 

 

To get on our weekly email notification list, click here:  Weekly Email Sign Up Form

 

To be a part of the exclusive Panama Food Club experience, you can sign up and check out our menu here:

2 Guys & A Cooler – We Cook, So You Don't Have To (doshombrespanama.com)

 

 

This week we've added our Steak and Loaded Baked Potato cream soup to the menu.  A creamy soup with tender cubed steak that embodies the spirit of a loaded baked potato.  Cheddar cheese, sour cream, bacon, butter, and baked potatoes are just a few of the ingredients. 

Last week we polled our customers to see what Asian dish they would like to see on the menu.  The choices were Mongolian Beef, Chinese Beef & Broccoli, or Teriyaki Stir Fry.  The teriyaki beef won with the most votes.  If you like tender beef Asian dishes then this teriyaki beef is right up your alley.  Meat so tender you'll never believe that it's local 100% grass fed beef.  Each portion has close to 1.5 pounds of food and can easily feed 1-2 adults.  Serve by itself, with rice, or noodles (rice and noodles not included). 

   

 

Are you into fermented foods?  This week we have authentic Korean Kimchi available as well as Cultured Buttermilk and Kefir.  Kimchi is considered by many to be amongst the healthiest foods on the planet.  Our Naturally fermented Kimchi is loaded with gut friendly probiotics and delivers on flavor (not very spicy).    

 

We also have Spinach & Artichoke dip back on the menu.  This dish is not only perfect for any gathering it's also very versatile.  You can add it to a baked potato or steamed vegetables, use it to stuff a pork chop or a chicken breast.  I can't wait to hear how you enjoy this dish!!

 

Do you like sausage?  This week we've made Chicken & Apple Breakfast Sausage, Mexican Chorizo, Mild Medium and Spicy Breakfast Sausage, as well as our signature Hot Italian sausage.  These tend to sell out pretty fast so if you don't see them in the "Sausage" section of our menu it means they've already been scooped up.

 

If you want something different for dessert, try our new cheesecake creation, the Peppermint Bark Cheesecake!!  This cake is not only visually stunning as it's swirled like a peppermint but its bursting with peppermint flavor and topped with a white chocolate peppermint ganache and crumbled peppermints.  I was hoping to make the Andes Chocolate Cheesecake this week as well but I ran out of time😅.  I'll have that one on the menu next week.

 

Other dishes available this week are Beef Stroganoff, Mexican Shredded Beef Enchiladas, Southern Pot Roast, Buttery Grits with cheddar, New Orleans Red Beans and Andouille Sausage, Black Eyed Peas and Ham, Cream of Bratwurst Stew, Mexican Tortilla Soup, Thai Chicken Panang, Mac & Cheese, Loaded Baked Potato,  and LOTS more!!!

 

Thanks for reading and we look forward to serving you soon

Eric, Cecelia, Chandler, Keira, Aidan

[News Boquete] Air Panama will Resume Flights from David to San Jose

REPRINTED FROM NEWSROOM PANAMA

Air Panama will Resume Flights to San José, Costa Rica in the First Quarter of 2025

With the acquisition of two new Dash 8-Q400 aircraft, the airline hopes to expand its domestic flight operations and resume the route between David and San José, Costa Rica, with a connection also in Panama.

Air Panama hopes to resume flights between the city of David in Chiriquí and San José, Costa Rica, in the first quarter of 2025, revealed Eduardo Stagg, commercial manager, noting that they have an expansion plan, reinforced by the acquisition of new aircraft.  "Two new aircraft will be added to the service next year and we have plans to open a new route between San José, Costa Rica, to David, and with a connection to Panama City, and we believe that this will benefit the increase in tourism to Panama".  The new aircraft are two Bombardier Dash 8 Q400s with capacity for 76 passengers that were operated by an Alaska Air subsidiary, Horizon Air. 

These aircraft, now in the hands of Air Panama, arrived in the country in September of this year 2024 and are being painted and conditioned. In addition, they must process the certificates and documents so that they can be operated in the country by the airline based at the Marcos A. Gelabert Airport in Albrook.  Stagg said that for now they do not have any flights planned to Colombia, however they are open to operating charter flights to various destinations.  He said that in 2024 they recorded an increase in flight occupancy on routes operating to Chitré, Bocas del Toro, Changuinola and David, in addition to some charter flights.  They currently operate three Fokker aircraft, each with a combined capacity of 150 seats. With the arrival of the two Dash 8 aircraft, they will be able to offer 152 additional seats for travel, in addition to the service with a Cessna Grand Caravan for 7 to 9 passengers.

[News Boquete] The Handicap Thrift Store closed this coming Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday

    Dear All:

    Due to the extensive preparation for our Christmas party and the grand Christmas fiesta on Saturday, the staff and volunteers of the Boquete Handicap Foundation (FPI) need time to regroup, reorganize the thrift store, and spend time with their families. Therefore we will be closed the two days before Christmas and (of course) Christmas Day. Here's a few photos of our crew wrapping gifts and filling goodie bags for our handicapped members.

[News Boquete] BHH Phone Hotline

Subject: Support for the Boquete Expat Community: Mental Health Hotline Information


Dear Boquete Community Member,

Boquete Health & Hospice is proud to introduce a vital resource: the Mental Health Hotline, designed specifically to provide a confidential, safe, and judgment-free space for our expatriate community aged 60 and up.

Hotline Overview:

  • 📞 Phone: (507) 6428-6595
  • 🕗 Hours: 8:00 AM – 4:00 PM daily
  • 🗣 Language: English only

The hotline offers support for various mental health challenges, including:

  • Depression: Persistent feelings of sadness, loss of interest, or energy.
  • Anxiety Disorders: Persistent worries, restlessness, and difficulty concentrating.
  • Panic Attacks: Sudden episodes of fear, racing heart, or trembling.
  • PTSD: Support for those experiencing flashbacks, avoidance, or distress related to past trauma.

Why This Matters:

Mental health challenges are common but often go unspoken. As we age or adapt to life abroad, the feelings of isolation, grief, or anxiety can intensify. This hotline ensures you are not alone and that support is just a phone call away.

Remember: Seeking help is a sign of strength. Your well-being matters.

Call (507) 6428-6595 anytime between 8:00 AM and 4:00 PM.

With warm regards,
The Boquete Health & Hospice Team
