🍽 Restaurant Highlights
McDonald's Jamie ate a Big Arch live on air. Thumbs up. Julie wants hers next time with extra Mac sauce.
Arby's A regular stop for Jamie. The mozzarella sticks and the chicken cordon bleu sandwich both get high marks.
Five Guys – Wellington and Boca Raton Julie went with the lettuce wrap burger bowl. Boca Raton location edges out Wellington. Allergy friendly for gluten and dairy free diners.
Jets Pizza Jamie has reviewed over 116 pizzas and Jets ranks up there. The cheesy crunchy crust is the move. Julie wanted the round gluten free version and got the Detroit style instead. She is still processing that.
Death by Pizza – Boca Raton Jamie's verdict: the best Detroit style pizza in South Florida right now in 2026.
Rain Dancer Steakhouse – West Palm Beach Open since 1975. The burger earned an 8.9, one of the best since moving to Florida. Early bird special runs four to six, full course meal for around $25 to $29.

🍽 Restaurant Highlights
Burger King A split burger and some chicken cutlets kicked off the week. Not diet approved but always appreciated.
Dave's Hot Chicken Jamie ordered the mild and it delivered. Looked terrifying, tasted amazing. Do not let the heat level scare you off.
BurgerFi – Delray Beach / Boca Raton Julie went with the lettuce wrap burger and loved it. The fries were a standout. A fantastic option for a clean but satisfying burger experience.
Pig Beach Barbecue – West Palm Beach, Dixie Highway The ribs were good. The pickled red onions and pickles elevated the whole plate. The Wagyu beef burger gets strong marks. Skip the beans. Get the smash burger or the Wagyu and you will not be disappointed.
Moya – Florida A new burger spot on the radar. The buns are exceptional. The cheeseburger leans more meatloaf style, which is different in a good way. Worth a visit.
Hurricane Wings – Florida A regular stop and Rosie approved. The order every time: ten piece wings, all flats, Gold Rush sauce for Rosie, buffalo well done for Julie, and the garlic parmesan fries. The fried fish sandwich is also a hidden gem worth trying.
Papa Chulos – Royal Palm Beach A return visit that missed the mark this time. It happens. Still a shoutout worthy restaurant. The love is still there.

Papa Chulos – Royal Palm Beach The surprise star of the episode. The coconut shrimp soft shell taco is a must order. Chips, queso, and guac that are out of this world. Happy hour almost every day. Julie has been four times in the last month alone. Do not sleep on this place.
Rocco's Tacos – Florida A longtime favorite now facing serious competition from Papa Chulos.
Flakowitz – South Florida Solid deli, great for a casual meal with mom. Julie ordered a Ruben by mistake. She does not like corned beef. She is still not over it.
Lucille's BBQ – Florida Great barbecue spot. The brisket nachos are tender, slightly sweet, and absolutely worth ordering.
Dada – Delray Beach Already a favorite for the cheeseburger alone. A deeper review is coming soon.
Julie is looking for the best Greek restaurant in the West Palm Beach or Palm Beach County area. If you have a recommendation, reach out. They want to visit.
