10. Burgers, Barbecue and Birthday Dinners — Florida Living Life is Eating Well

Asian street food restaurant on Atlantic Ave, Delray Beach. Julie and Jamie plan to visit for Rosie's birthday eve. South Florida's first Hawkers location, known for Pad Thai, Roti Canai, and a lively outdoor patio.

Italian/Mediterranean boutique café on S Dixie Hwy. Julie had the gnocchi (loved it); Jamie had the seafood risotto (rated a 7). Praised for good bread and charming atmosphere. Sister restaurant to Bice Ristorante.

Award-winning BBQ spot on S Dixie Hwy run by NYC Michelin-restaurant-trained pitmasters. Jamie praised the ribs (with pickled red onions), the Wagyu beef burger, and the smash burger. Julie not a fan of the beans.

Nashville-style hot chicken chain. Jamie ordered the mild level — spicy but tolerable and 'so good.' Located at 2089 Palm Beach Lakes Blvd, West Palm Beach.

Jamie got a lettuce wrap hamburger with excellent fries. Active Delray location: 660 Linton Blvd (in the Whole Foods plaza). Uses 100% natural Angus beef, no antibiotics/steroids.

A go-to for Julie and Rosie. Their usual order: 10-piece wings — Rosie gets all flats with 'Gold Rush' (blonde BBQ) sauce; Julie gets buffalo well-done; both share garlic Parmesan fries. Julie also recommends the fried fish sandwich. Palm Beach Gardens: 7100 Fairway Dr. 

Burger spot with standout buns. Jamie described the cheeseburger as 'meatloaf-y' — different, but not his favorite.

All-you-can-eat sushi restaurant being considered for Rosie's birthday. Priced around $35–38/person. Address: 10260 Forest Hill Blvd, Wellington, FL 33414.

Julie wasn't a big fan of the sushi, but Jamie liked the hibachi dishes. 

Gallaghers Steakhouse is a legendary NYC spot serving dry-aged prime steaks in a classic, old-school setting near Broadway since 1927. The restaurant also has a location in Boca Raton, FL, offering the same exceptional dining experience. Classic steakhouse suggested by Rosie as a birthday dinner option. National chain with Florida locations.
