Guy Fieri-featured Palm Beach County restaurant closes after 10 years

NOTE: This story was updated with exclusive details. A Boynton Beach restaurant that earned national attention this year from Guy Fieri has closed after a nearly decade. Driftwood , the chef-driven restaurant from Jimmy Everett and his wife, Ilia Gonzalez-Colon, served its final patrons Sunday, Nov. 1. Everett told The Palm Beach Post that his wife's recent death “has changed everything” and how financial circumstances made continuing impossible. “Closing Driftwood last night was one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to do,” Everett said. “Ilia and I built this place together, and it became so much more than a restaurant.” The closing comes less than six months after Driftwood landed on Food Network’s “Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives,” where Fieri lavished praise on Everett’s cooking, calling one dish “masterful.” From Boynton Beach favorite to ‘Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives’ fame Driftwood opened on Federal Highway in Boynton Beach in 2017, taking over the longtime former Scully’s location . By 2019, The Palm Beach Post was already describing the restaurant as a local favorite. Its reputation eventually traveled beyond Boynton Beach. Driftwood appeared on PBS’ “Check, Please! South Florida” and landed on The Post’s 2023 list of 15 drive-worthy Palm Beach County

5 Best Restaurants in Coral Springs, Florida You Need to Try Before Everyone Else Finds Them

Coral Springs, Florida — a city where the palms sway above pastel plazas, where families from every corner of the world gather beneath the sun, where the laughter of children echoes from playgrounds and the scent of something soulful drifts through the evening air. Here, the architecture is a patchwork: Mediterranean roofs, tidy cul-de-sacs, and the gentle sprawl of parks and lakes. The city’s heart beats in the rhythm of soccer games, school concerts, and backyard barbecues — a place where newcomers and old-timers, retirees and dreamers, all find their place at the table.

5 Best Restaurants in Port St. Lucie, Florida You Need to Try Before Everyone Else Finds Them

Port St. Lucie, Florida — a city where the palms sway above pastel rooftops, where the laughter of families mingles with the quiet pride of retirees and the dreams of newcomers, where the scent of the Atlantic mingles with the aroma of something soulful simmering in the kitchen. Here, neighborhoods are stitched together by memory and migration, by the hum of fishing boats, the shuffle of golf carts, and the easy rhythm of a place that feels both hidden and alive.

11 Florida Restaurants Serving Comfort Food That’s Easy On Your Wallet

One Florida breakfast counter wraps up Sunday service at 10 in the morning. Blink after church, and you’ve missed the grits. That tiny detail made me grin, because it says so much about the places on this list. They run on early alarms, hot griddles, and plates that refuse to look dainty.

Longtime Lake Park restaurant a crazy good deal hiding in plain sight

In the world of escalating costs for everything, here's the deal I'm celebrating this week. The Carving Station. The Carving Station Buffet in Lake Park is an absolutely delicious, bang-for-the-buck value. Living in Palm Beach County for several decades, I've driven by the easily recognizable restaurant at 720 US 1 hundreds of times, but had never visited this all-you-can-eat cornucopia of fantastic flavor until this week. Let's just clear the air to start. Forget what you think you know about buffets. The restaurant was clean as a whistle and the food was fantastic. The Carving Station has a wide open interior, high ceilings and a cool, 'Old Florida' vibe. More functional than flashy, the restaurant feels welcoming from the moment you walk in the door. Called the Carving Station for a reason, the stars at the restaurant are the roast beef, turkey breast, ham and leg of lamb that are beautifully displayed with a server just waiting to expertly slice off as much as you'd like. The sight and practically intoxicating aroma of those glorious, slow-roasted cuts of meat being carved before my eyes was serious carnivore heaven. They were all fantastic. The turkey breast was so moist and so

Open Table lists Palm Beach-based Buccan among top 100 U.S. eateries

Once again, the popular Palm Beach restaurant Buccan, home to multiple-time James Beard Award-nominated chef Clay Conley, has been deemed one of best restaurants in the United States. That’s according to online restaurant reservation platform and diner-review sounding board OpenTable.com, which releases its Top 100 Restaurants list each November. OpenTable’s 2026 list was released Nov. 4. It’s the fifth consecutive year Buccan, 350 S. County Road, has earned a spot in the listing. Only one other Florida restaurant made this year’s list: The 1956-founded Bern’s Steakhouse in Tampa. OpenTable notes that what makes Buccan special is “a changing array of small plates — highlighting the use of superior ingredients and preparation — offering an adventurous and memorable dining experience. Guests are welcome for a quick bite at the bar, a specialty cocktail in the lounge, or for a long, leisurely evening.” Buccan’s longtime manager, Andy Boles, told the Palm Beach Daily News on Thursday that the restaurant was “honored to be recognized again this year. I give so much credit to Chef Clay and his team for continuing to evolve our menu with delicious and seasonal dishes. Our guests know when they come to Buccan that they will find the
