Come with me to Driftwood, one of my favorite South Florida restaurants and a top contender for the best food in Boynton Beach. Chef/Owner Jimmy Everett shares his journey from growing up just a mile away, to training at the Culinary Institute of America, cooking on Nantucket and in New York City and eventually returning home to build something truly special.
Jimmy also shares about his passion for mentorship, the importance of supporting local farms and purveyors and why sustainability and creativity guide every dish on the menu. I got to try the crispy okra and pork jowl fried rice, two incredibly unique dishes on the menu. He explains the techniques and thought process behind the flavors Driftwood is known for. If you’ve ever been grossed out by okra’s slimy texture, listen up because Chef Jimmy seriously blew my mind when he told me how he uses it for this signature appetizer.
Chef Jimmy’s love for community, intention and a commitment to doing things the right way is why Driftwood is a true stand-out in the South Florida dining scene.
