    Tattoos, Palm Beach and the Best Chicken Sandwich in South Florida

    Tattoos, Palm Beach and the Best Chicken Sandwich in South Florida Episode Summary This week Julie and Jamie hit the Tattoo and Oddity Convention in West Palm Beach, stroll through the most expensive street in Florida on Palm Beach island, and discover that the Honor Bar might just be home to the best chicken sandwich Julie has had since moving to Florida. Oh, and Jamie got a tattoo. Julie found out live on air. That happened. The food keeps coming, the reviews keep rolling, and Florida Living Life is still very much in the building. 🍽 Restaurant Highlights Honor Bar – Palm Beach Island The standout of the week and possibly the most pleasant surprise yet. Part of the Hillstone restaurant group, the same family as Houston's. The atmosphere hits immediately. The chicken sandwich earns an eight and a half, the best Julie has had in two and a half years of Florida living. Jamie had the burger with shoestring fries. The coleslaw on the burger was a highlight. A beautiful little spot on the island worth every visit. Arby's – Florida Jamie tried the new Arby's cheesesteak and gave it an eight. He puts it right alongside Pat's in Philadelphia. A bold call. A real one. Bolet – Florida A healthier option that delivered. The chicken thighs are the move. Julie held up the line ordering six of them and has zero regrets. A solid bowl friendly option for anyone watching their diet. Il Fiore – Boca Raton A slice of pizza on a casual outing. Verdict: good but not great. Rated a seven point four. A possible return visit is undecided. Mario the Baker – Lake Worth, Florida On the dinner plan for the week ahead. The Lake Worth location earns special praise as a great restaurant worth revisiting. Always a reliable choice. Houston's – Boca Raton Referenced as part of the Honor Bar connection through the Hillstone restaurant group. A previous favorite that keeps coming up in conversation as a benchmark for quality dining. 🛍 Worth Avenue, Palm BeachA walk through one of the most expensive shopping streets in the United States. Highlights included a stop at the Tom Ford store, the Cartier store, and a browse through stores where a single shirt can run $2,400 and a bracelet can reach $80,000. A one of a kind experience that feels more like a museum than a shopping trip. 🛒 Local Vendor Spotlight Joyce Gourmet Met at the Tattoo and Oddity Convention. A standout garlic spread made with canola oil, garlic, lemon juice, and salt. Also a tomato basil marinara sauce that impressed on first taste. Find them online at Joyce Gourmet. 🎉 Father's DayBoth Julie and Jamie have lost their fathers. This week they honored them with a home brunch. The potatoes were good. The gluten free pancakes were unmemorable by Julie's own admission. The eggs were fine. It was the thought that counted. 📣 We Want to Hear From YouVisit floridalivinglife.com to send a message.

    Eight Weeks of Eating, KRS-One Stories and a Time Machine Back to New Jersey

    Eight Weeks of Eating, KRS-One Stories and a Time Machine Back to New Jersey Episode Summary This week is all about food, food, food. Julie and Jamie recap eight straight weeks of eating out, take a trip down memory lane to their New Jersey roots, drop a wild KRS-One story, and reveal a top three Florida steakhouse showdown. Plus, concerts, movie reviews, and an upcoming weekend packed with the Tattoo and Oddity Expo and a Hillary Duff concert on Father's Day. The podcast keeps climbing the charts, now ranked number seven out of 250 in Canada and inside the top 20 in the US. 🍽 Restaurant HighlightsDave's Hot Chicken Jamie is a fan, Julie is not. The Dave sauce gets a special mention. Jamie says unless something changes, hot chicken is just not for Julie. Papa Chulos – Royal Palm Beach (Takeout) Good but not great as takeout. The cheeseburger taco and lettuce wrap version got a little mangled in transit. Verdict: this is a dine in restaurant. Takeout does not do it justice. Mario the Baker – Florida Take home pizza night delivers again. Jamie got a gluten free pepperoni pizza with pineapple. Julie got a regular pizza with meatballs. Both were excellent and froze well for leftovers. Always solid. McDonald's Jamie had not eaten McDonald's in about a year and went all in with a Big Mac, extra Mac sauce, no bun, plus a six piece nugget and fries. Julie tried the Big Mac too and was pleasantly surprised. Verdict: good, but not as good as it was back in the day. Seasons 52 – Boca Raton A longtime favorite from their New Jersey days, now a regular Boca stop. The cedar plank salmon is excellent. The gluten free flatbreads are outstanding and safe for celiac diners. Great service, great atmosphere, and never disappoints. A solid choice for any special occasion. Applebee's A great experience with their server Merlin, who also happens to know Rosie. Burgers were a hit. Julie does the lettuce wrap version. A definite repeat visit. Texas Roadhouse First visit in months. Compared directly to Longhorn and Outback as the same class of steakhouse. Verdict: not as good as the top two, but not bad either. A three way steakhouse showdown is officially proposed between Texas Roadhouse, Outback, and Longhorn. Outback Steakhouse – Florida Still a top pick in the steakhouse rivalry. Consistently on point with every visit. 🗽 Throwback Corner: New Jersey ClassicsA trip down memory lane to Morris County, New Jersey, thirty plus years ago. The Italian Touch – Livingston Mall, Livingston, NJ A beloved pizza spot from back in the day. Great pizza, great memories. The Godfather – New Jersey Another early favorite mentioned as part of the old school New Jersey pizza lineup. 🎵 Concert CornerThe Nova Twins opened for Evanescence with Spirit Box also on the bill. A massive stage setup and an unforgettable show. The first metal show of the year. Coming up: the Tattoo and Oddity Expo in West Palm Beach this Saturday, and a Hillary Duff concert at the iTHINK Amphitheater on Father's Day. 📺 What They Are WatchingOffice Romance on Netflix gets a strong recommendation for date night. Michael, the Michael Jackson biopic, earned a solid six point five out of ten. 📣 We Want to Hear From YouVisit floridalivinglife.com and send an email.

    Concerts, Cheesesteaks and the Best Restaurants on Dixie Highway

    Concerts, Cheesesteaks and the Best Restaurants on Dixie Highway Episode Summary 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. Plus, Rosie ordered the prime rib at the Outback and sent it back twice. It was a scene. 🍽 Restaurant Highlights Bowl Asian Cuisine – Hard Rock Seminole Casino, Coconut Creek The surprise winner of the last two weeks. Julie and Jamie ended up here twice after back to back concerts. The orange chicken is outstanding. The beef chow fun is rich and satisfying. The egg rolls and duck sauce are not to be missed. Jamie does not even like Asian food and came back for seconds. That says it all. Hard Rock Cafe – Seminole Casino, Coconut Creek Not what it used to be. The nachos and burgers were legendary years ago. The quality is not there anymore. A second chance may come, but the food needs work. Kiki's Breakfast Cafe – Parkland, Florida A hidden gem found on the way home. A luncheonette style cafe that closes around two or three in the afternoon. The cheesesteak omelet was outstanding. The coffee was delicious. There was a wait but it was absolutely worth it. A must visit for breakfast lovers in Broward County. Charlie's Cheesesteak – Wellington Mall, Wellington, Florida A regular stop and always fresh. The chicken cheesesteak is the standout. Great staff, great product, great experience every single time. Julie orders hers over lettuce and tomato without the bread. Grotto – Dixie Highway, West Palm Beach Jamie's pick for the best restaurant in West Palm Beach and possibly all of Broward County. The shrimp with gluten free pasta is one of the best meals Julie has had since moving to Florida. If you order the right thing, Grotto delivers every time. Ranked number one. Blue Door – West Palm Beach Still earning its place near the top. The butter chicken remains a favorite. Ranked number two. The Hive – West Palm Beach Ranked number three on the West Palm Beach list. On the must visit radar. Cafe Med – West Palm Beach A solid addition to the Dixie Highway rotation. Ranked number four. Joy Sushi / Joy Asian – Dixie Highway, West Palm Beach A potential number five on the West Palm Beach list. A return visit is being planned. Watch this space. Outback Steakhouse – Royal Palm Beach Rosie ordered the prime rib. It went back to the kitchen twice. The consistency is not what it used to be, at least for that cut. A familiar favorite that had a tough night. China Buffet – 441, Royal Palm Beach A casual outing with Rosie. Part of the weekly dinner rotation with mom. 🎵 Concert CornerWeird Al Yankovic – Hard Rock Live, Seminole Casino Legendary. The costume changes, the energy, the full production. A great night. Charlie Puth – Hard Rock Live, Seminole Casino Julie is calling it. Charlie Puth live is one of the best concert experiences she has ever had. A modern day Daryl Hall. Old soul, incredible riffs, stunning band, playing piano the whole time. If you get the chance to see him, go. 📣 We Want to Hear From YouKnow someone who would make a great guest?

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.

Spoiler alert: Mark at the Outback might just be the best waiter in all of Florida. 🍽 Restaurant Highlights Longhorn Steakhouse – West Palm Beach The seventh busiest Longhorn in the US, but it left them underwhelmed.

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. True Food Kitchen – Florida A solid healthy option.
