📰 In the news
Shaping flavors and futures: Meet Palm Beach neighbor Robert Riescher, executive chef at the Palm House Hotel, celebrated for elegant seafood and welcoming service, inspired by family recipes and South Florida outdoor grilling — see what inspires his cooking.
Florida hotel’s living history: From 1920s origins to wartime snapshots, a photo gallery traces the Palm Beach Biltmore across decades as the landmark marks 100 years in 2026, just a drive south of Jupiter — browse the historic photo gallery.
Community support transforming lives: Impact 100 Palm Beach County members took a bus tour, visiting six $100,000 grantees across the area, from Project Uplift to services for abused and neglected youth, highlighting local philanthropy — learn about funded initiatives.
Reimagining regional Indian flavors: Chhauka, a Michelin-pedigreed Indian restaurant, has opened in downtown West Palm Beach with an elevated, approachable menu. Chef Hemant Mathur guides the kitchen with support from Rodney Mayo — read the full story.
Gold & silver are hot: Coming off gold’s best year since 1979, the momentum is carrying well into 2026 with silver remaining one of the most talked-about assets. Curious why precious metals are back in focus? American Hartford Gold has a free guide that explains what’s happening and how people are approaching it today. It’s free – and definitely worth a read.
Compare rates for free: The national average for car insurance is around $175 per month. Paying more than that? Same, so I did some shopping around and ended up cutting my premium in half. If you haven’t checked in a while, you’re probably overpaying too — here’s the comparison tool I used.
Nothing prepares you for a pet emergency: I learned that the hard way after charging $10k to a credit card for life-saving surgery on my cat, Miss Stache. As soon as we got home, I signed up for Spot. It’s super affordable – and reimburses up to 90% of the bill.

Highlights this week:

🫶 We got your back
Addressing aerospace skills gaps: Florida awarded more than $8 million earlier this month to expand aviation maintenance capacity and training. Nearly $5 million was allocated to expand nearby Palm Beach State College facilities for its accelerated quantum technology and cybersecurity program. Melbourne Orlando International Airport will receive $2.5 million to expand its maintenance apron. See which projects got funding.
Optimism surrounds Miami club: The Miami Marlins have reported to Spring Training in Jupiter, bringing a young, energized squad to town. Owner Bruce Sherman and president of baseball operations Peter Bendix spoke to media about the season ahead and upcoming games, adding buzz for locals as workouts roll along. Read the full story.
Farm-to-table vibes: Seasonal plates and smart cocktails spotlight local farms and food artisans at The Cooper Craft Kitchen & Bar, delivering that comfort-meets-creative dinner that turns an ordinary Tuesday into something special. Thoughtful, fresh, and unfussy, it’s a neighborhood hangout with flavor to spare.
Cabinets that spark joy: Thinking about a kitchen glow-up without a full demo? Jupiter Kitchen Bath & More handles cabinet refacing, new cabinetry, and countertops in town, and their Jupiter showroom makes it easy to compare styles and plan. Consider this your sign to make those drawers and doors finally match.
What do people see when they search your name? Search results can surface past mistakes or outdated information that no longer reflects who you are. BetterReputation helps remove and clean up unwanted content so your online presence matches your real life today. Not worried about yourself? Doesn’t hurt to mention it to family or friends who might be.
Take control of your credit card debt: High interest can keep you stuck paying more than you need to. A balance transfer card with 0% intro APR until 2027 and no annual fee gives you time to pay down what you owe without interest working against you. By transferring your balance, more of your payment goes toward the principal so you can actually make a dent in what you owe.
