Julie and Jamie are back with two weeks of stories packed into one episode. Two concerts at the Hard Rock. Two visits to the same Asian restaurant. A breakfast cafe discovery in Parkland. A cheesesteak run to the Wellington Mall. And a definitive ranking of the best restaurants in West Palm Beach.

Jamie’s #5 pick in West Palm Beach is a Japanese/Vietnamese Asian fusion spot that’s a favorite for its fresh, flavorful dishes. Julie always goes for the rice noodles with shrimp and beef, plus the killer vegetable rolls, and it’s run by an owner who also has a Fort Lauderdale location.

Jamie’s #2 restaurant in West Palm Beach is a coastal Mediterranean bistro that feels like an al fresco oasis. His favorite dish is the butter chicken (a baked chicken dish), which keeps it high on his list. The home of juicy steaks, spirited drinks and Aussie hospitality. Enjoy steak, chicken, ribs, fresh seafood & their famous Bloomin' Onion. Visited during family trip week, with the grilled and barbecue chicken praised, the ribs described as hit or miss, and the bread and butter highlighted as a standout.
