At the time of recording, it was Jamie's first visit in months. While comparing it to Texas Roadhouse, Outback, and LongHorn, Jamie ranked LongHorn and Outback ahead of Texas Roadhouse but still gave Texas Roadhouse credit as a solid option.
Jamie describes it as his long-time favorite steakhouse, placing it in a close tie with Outback for best in class. It remains one of his top choices among casual steakhouse chains.
NJ pizza spot from the early days! Authentic Italian food in Morristown, NJ. Freshly made pizza, calzones, pasta & more. Generous portions, 4.6★ rated.
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.
Julie’s current go-to spot, having visited about four times in just one month. The coconut shrimp soft-shell taco was especially highlighted as a standout favorite, often mentioned when recalling the best dishes. The daily happy hour adds to its appeal, making it a relaxed and consistent choice. It’s also considered a good option for families, offering a comfortable dining experience. Overall, it’s now preferred over Rocco’s Tacos.
A pizza restaurant near Papi Chulo's known for garlic knots. They also have decent gluten-free pizzas, Julie's dietary staple. Top-tier pizza paired with a great, welcoming atmosphere; they even had the chance to meet and chat with the owner, making the experience more personal. The sauce and pizza were especially memorable and highly praised for their flavor and quality.
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.
Julie highlights this upscale fresh grill and wine bar in Boca Raton as a favorite for special occasions, praising the gluten-free cheesesteak flatbread and wood-grilled fish (mahi-mahi or similar), while Jamie enjoyed the cedar plank salmon with mustard sauce. It's a go-to spot for birthdays and anniversaries.
Julie attended a Chamber of Commerce breakfast at The Breakers, where she met the CEO. It’s an iconic Palm Beach landmark.
Nostalgia reference to a New Jersey pizza spot from the 80s/90s in Livingston Mall, described as “really good,” but now closed.
The iTHINK Financial Amphitheatre at the S. Florida Fairgrounds is a premier venue in West Palm Beach, FL, offering a variety of events and concerts.

Julie is looking forward to an upcoming Father’s Day weekend concert, with both hosts excited about it. It also features Duff, best known for Lizzie McGuire and the Netflix series Younger.
Headlined by Evanescence, the concert opened at 7 PM with Nova Twins, followed by Spiritbox. Jamie attended and described the stage setup as “million-dollar,” and he was even stopped by six fans for photos.
