Guide to Palm Beach (Island)
Jamie thought the dumplings were good, but not exactly something to rave about—very much a classic "they're alright" Jamie review. Julie described it as a solid neighborhood sushi spot that's popular with locals and worth checking out if you're in the area.
One of MOOYAH's newer West Palm Beach locations when this episode was filmed. Jamie's recommendation? Skip the single and go straight for the double—it’s the way to order.
Henry Flagler's stunning Gilded Age mansion is packed with fascinating details. Julie came prepared, pointing out highlights like the elegant drawing room, the courtyard fountain inspired by Florence's Boboli Gardens, and the interconnected upstairs bedrooms. Jamie happily admitted Julie was paying way more attention than he was and joked that she should've been leading the tour herself.
Jamie's hoping to catch a show here—as long as the Florida heat isn't pushing 95 degrees. Julie has a personal connection to the venue too, having interviewed Styx frontman Lawrence Gowan a couple of years earlier, making this stop a fun one to revisit.
Julie's excited for this festive summer tradition, where holiday shopping meets Christmas cheer in the middle of July. Expect handcrafted gifts, local vendors, and even indoor artificial snow flurries to bring a little winter magic to South Florida.
Jamie was already on his fourth visit, so clearly something keeps bringing him back—even if he still has some mixed feelings about the food. With dishes like the grilled shrimp and vegetable salad, charcuterie board, and ribeye sandwich in the mix, Julie focused more on the experience, describing it as Palm Beach at its best.
Grilled fresh to order inside the Mall at Wellington Green, the chicken cheesesteak here is the go-to that earns a fiercely loyal fan base -- try it over lettuce and tomato if you want to keep it light.
A charming luncheonette-style café in Parkland that's perfect for breakfast or lunch before it closes in the early afternoon. Jamie highly recommends the cheesesteak omelet, calling it delicious, and says the coffee is just as memorable.
A go-to spot inside the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Hollywood serving Vietnamese and Chinese favorites. Visited twice in two weeks, with the orange chicken, egg rolls, and especially the duck sauce standing out enough to keep bringing us back.
Jamie’s top restaurant pick in both West Palm Beach and Broward County, led by James Beard-nominated chef Clay Conley. Known for its Italian-inspired menu, it’s the kind of place where every meal feels special—Julie’s shrimp with gluten-free pasta was a standout, and the memorable dinners shared with friends keep them coming back.
The Blue Door, top pick for Valentine's Day dinner, is a coastal bistro inspired by the sun-kissed beach towns of Southern Europe. As you step through our inviting blue door, you'll discover a tranquil al fresco oasis where coastal Mediterranean inspired food, handcrafted drinks, and a sense of community come together seamlessly.
Hive Bakery & Café offers breakfast, lunch, pastries, and dinners based on seasonal selections and the highest quality ingredients. Enjoy a delightful dining experience with a focus on fresh, locally sourced produce and artisanal baked goods. Jamie's pick for best burger in Palm Beach
