Just like any chic area, Palm Beach Island is not immune to hotspots. Many places open, and are hot for a couple of seasons before faltering at the hands of the picky patrons who usually live in their mansions for about 2 weeks a year. Since many of the residents are just short term stayers, it is hard for a place to make it year round. A new place that has opened up on Palm Beach Island recently named Buccan seems to defy this methodology so far. The place has been packed since opening, and has maintained the crowds waiting to eat there as of my visit. Remember this is off season and the place is jammed.
Went with a few friends the other night, and was pleased to see they offer pizza on the menu. At first glance Buccan in Palm Beach appears as a voguish eatery with certain hint of haughtiness. It kind of reminded me of a place where the middle class who want to appear as high class would go to try to keep up with the Jonses (or in this case, the actual Rockefeller’s, Carnegies and Welch’s). You will also find plenty of gold diggers hanging around with their enormous amount of plastic surgery, hoping to latch onto a billionaire. I could continue on with this, but I am sure you all just want to know if the pizza was any good.
