Kristin Cavallari kisses her rarely seen son on his 11th birthday as they celebrate in a luxurious way
Kristin Cavallari heartwarmingly celebrated her son Jaxon's 11th birthday this week, complete with streamers, balloons and a fancy dinner at an upscale steakhouse. The 38-year-old, who shot to fame on Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County and The Hills, posted photos of the festivities to Instagram. She adorably dressed her son up in a suit and herself in a stylish cocktail dress to dine at Bourbon Steak by Michael Mina, which offers dazzling views of Nashville from the 34th floor of the local JW Marriott. Luxurious menu items include a wagyu tasting trio for $650, a 40oz Black Hawk Farms wagyu tomahawk ribeye for $325, an 8oz Stone Axe New York strip for $130 and a 22oz 50 day dry-aged 'cowboy' ribeye for $115. Before heading off to the eatery, they posed for a few sweet pictures in Kristin's kitchen, including one where she pulled him in and kissed his temple. 'Happy 11th birthday to my baby bull, Jaxy,' wrote Kristin in a caption accompanying the photos, along with a glowing testimonial to her middle child. She shares Jaxon, her son Camden, 12, and her daughter Saylor, nine, with former NFL quarterback Jay Cutler, whom she was married to from 2013 to 2022. 'You're the funniest guy I know, you're always up for a good time, and you're a true gentleman with the biggest heart,' Kristin wrote of Jaxon. 'Never change, buddy, just keep growing into the incredible young man that you are. I love you so much.' The wholesome family outing came just a couple of days after a trailer debuted for Kristin's upcoming reality show Honestly Cavallari: The Headline Tour. Airing on E!, the show promises to pull the curtain back on her recent speaking tour, in which she made a string of candid confessions about her sex life. A bold new admission surfaced in the new trailer, with Kristin admitting that Too Hot To Handle hunk Harry Jowsey once sent her a 'd*** pic.' She dropped the revelation while Harry was appearing onstage with her during one of the stops on her recent tour this March. The trailer then cuts to Kristin showing the explicit picture to her best friend Justin Anderson, who is seen exclaiming: 'It's gigantic!' Harry previously appeared on her podcast in January, joking he was 'breaking his celibacy streak' with her after abstaining from sex since his father died a month prior. In one notable moment from her recent tour, Kristin gave a saucy answer when she was asked which of her exes she would spend the rest of her life with. She picked her recent boyfriend, 24-year-old TikTok beefcake Mark Estes, 'because I can have really good sex for the rest of my life.' Kristin made the admission during a recent stop on Honestly Cavallari, the tour of her Let's Be Honest podcast, as seen in footage obtained by TMZ. Over the past several months, Kristin has lifted the curtain on her star-studded past, dishing that action movie hunk Jason Statham was her 'hottest hookup.' The Nashville-based reality star also candidly confessed to having a fling with country heartthrob Morgan Wallen, whom she described as 'a great f*** buddy.' She clarified that their encounter was not 'romantic,' but added that he was a 'gentleman' with a 'big heart,' on Bunnie XO's podcast Dumb Blonde. During her time as an MTV reality star, she was linked to her castmate Stephen Colletti, and she has since run around with Brody Jenner and Justin Bobby. While on Laguna Beach, she and her co-star Lauren Conrad were shown to be in a love triangle that involved them competing over Stephen Colletti. However, a few years ago, the two women revealed that they were in fact both dallying with their other castmate Talan Torriero at the time. During a recent tour date, Kristin claimed that Lindsay Lohan once found her in bed with Talan and began throwing kitchenware as a result. 'We go up to LA to stay with Talan and we're all sleeping. I'm sleeping in bed with Talan. We did not hook up this night,' said Kristin onstage, via Us Weekly. '[Lindsay] comes in, sees that I'm in bed with Talan — nothing has happened — [but] she sees that there's a girl in bed with Talan and she freaks the f*** out.' Kristin shared her theory that 'obviously something happened' between Lindsay and Talan, adding: 'She sees that I'm in bed [and] she goes upstairs, her and her girlfriends, [and] into the kitchen. She's taking glasses out and throwing them!' Talan, who was onstage with Kristin, corrected her, saying that Lindsay was not hurling glasses but was rather tossing plates.

Boynton to Boca, what's new in Southern Palm Beach County's restaurant scene in 2025
We are still early in the year, but already southern Palm Beach County is vibrating with new arrivals on its already significant restaurant scene. And the variety is noteworthy, from Mexican fare and pizza to Argentinian steak and Italian. From Boynton Beach to Boca Raton, we took note of these eight arrivals. We recommend you check them out too. Remember, these are the latest additions. Good food abounds in the county's southern reaches, including the recent Michelin "selected" Nicholson Muir Distinguished Meats in Boynton Beach. And Delray Beach can boast Death by Pizza, which topped The Palm Beach Post's reader's choice show down in 2024 and came in a very respectable second in the 2025 rounds. Boynton Beach Paloma Paloma is Boynton Beach's newest Mexican restaurant. This new Mexican restaurant opened on Feb. 25 in the downtown area of Boynton Beach. Featuring a slogan that states "Handcrafted Mexican Cuisine, Made with Love," Paloma features many classics like tacos, fajitas, quesadillas, enchiladas, and burritos. Details: 510 E. Ocean Ave., Boynton Beach. Delray Beach Gesto Taking over the space formerly occupied by the recently moved Amar Mediterranean Kitchen & Bar, this new restaurant is all about pizzas with a hybrid sourdough crust cooked to lightly-charred perfection. A product of Kurban Hospitality Group, Gesto opened Feb. 19 and uses only Italian flour and top of the line ingredients. Owner Nicholas Kurban said 'Pizza is a science, but great pizza is an art." With a wood-fired oven that cooks pies in under four minutes and a 15 second margin of error that either means perfection or start over, that artistry is on full display. Running that oven is seasoned pizzaiolo and artisan baker Garri Banar. With a passion for pizza and deep understanding of fermentation and flour, he has perfected a dough that is crisp, yet airy, with beautifully-blistered pockets and a delicate chew. Details: 522 E. Atlantic Ave., Delray Beach. Bourbon Steak The vision of James Beard Award-winning chef and restaurateur Michael Mina, Bourbon Steak opened at The Seagate on Atlantic Avenue in March. Though specializing in high-quality cuts of American beef, Kobe beef, and wagyu, they are located only steps from the ocean and will feature plenty of fresh seafood and shellfish options. Way more than your basic steakhouse, Bourbon Steak slow poaches their steaks in butter before finishing them on a 900-degree, wood-fired grill. One dish in particular Mina said is popular across all the properties is the Maine lobster pot pie which is show in itself when served tableside. Details: 1000 E. Atlantic Ave., Delray Beach. Novecento This popular Argentinian steakhouse concept opened their Delray Beach location in the historic Falcon House on Jan. 17. The menu features dishes from crudos and Milangas to risotto and house cut-and-rolled pasta. There's also Parrillada, a mixed grill platter. This shareable signature specialty is plated with Prime hanger steak, chicken, chorizo and mollejas (sweetbreads) augmented with four sides. Grass-fed beef, however, is the star at Novecento with a dozen preparations from carpaccio and salads to grilled steak cuts. Walking in feels like visiting a friend's house. Despite its somewhat tiny size, the subtle refit maximizes space with several intimate dining rooms and a very pretty bar. Outside's vibe is casual and comfortable, reminiscent of a quaint inn. ~Diana Biederman Details: 116 NE Sixth Ave., Delray Beach. Gabriella's Modern Italian This new Delray Beach restaurant with New Jersey roots opened their doors on March 5. Described by owner Frankie Brusco as "more Italian, less steakhouse" than its sister restaurant Gabriella's Italian Steakhouse in Monmouth County, New Jersey, the restaurant features all-new construction with both indoor and outdoor seating. The Delray Beach location was designed by Celano Design Studio Co. out of Manhattan. Firecracker shrimp, truffle ricotta, signature spicy ricotta and the beautiful bistecca alla fiorentina for two are just some of the dishes awaiting guests. Details: 40 NE Seventh Ave., Delray Beach. Boca Raton Motek No longer requiring a pilgrimage to the '305,' Palm Beach County welcomed it's first Motek on April 2. Featuring Mediterranean cuisine, this is the seventh Motek location and the first not located in Miami-Dade County. Situated on Town Center Road in Boca Raton, their menu features dishes with influences from Lebanon, Turkey, Yemen, Morocco and more. Among diners' favorites, the "shakshuka for brunch is the top seller," said regional district manager Alexander Odishelidze. The chicken and lamb shawarma plates and sandwiches are also huge hits as is the schnitzel, he said. A 'must try' is their award-winning Arayes Burger. Featuring kosher, grass-fed beef kofta kebab (ground beef, spices, onions, garlic) it is served in a pita and won the People's Choice category at the South Beach Wine & Food Festival Burger Bash in 2022 and 2023. In addition to the food, the entire interior is designed transport guests to the eastern Mediterranean. Details: 5377 Town Center Road, Boca Raton. 105 Boca Raton's glitzy new Peruvian restaurant, guided by chef/proprietor Juan Chipoco, opened in Boca Raton in early January. Featuring a menu that focuses on creative ceviches (although there are tasty beef and bird options as well), this the sixth 105 location and first in Palm Beach County. Those ceviches are made with daily fresh catches that are sourced locally along with 'spectacular' fish that are flown in from Japan every other day. The Aventura outpost boasts Tripadvisor's tip-top ranking of more than 100 restaurants in that community. Chipoco's first Miami restaurant at 105 NE Third Ave. is ranked No. 8 overall among more than 4,300 listed. ~Diana Biederman Details: 6000 Glades Road, Boca Raton. Stage Business partners Andy Dugard and chef Pushkar Marathe opened the second location of their wildly popular restaurant in Boca Raton on March 10. Known for their Indian-inspired small plates, the new Stage (pronounced "staahj") draws inspiration from the original, Palm Beach Gardens location. Anna Woodman, who created the look at the original Stage, also designed this location. There are eye-catching decor accents at every turn. Weather permitting, there might be no better place than front patio dining with its flattering lighting. The original Stage in Palm Beach Gardens won a coveted 2024 USA Today Restaurants of the Year spot on a highly competitive list featuring America's 47 best places to dine out. ~Diana Biederman Pushkar Marathe is executive chef and co-owner of nationally acclaimed Stage Kitchen & Bar in Palm Beach Gardens and Boca Raton. With business partner Andy Dugard, Marathe also leads Ela Curry & Cocktails and Mango Mercato. Details: 5377 Town Center Road, Boca Raton.

Popular upscale Disney World celebrity restaurant closing permanently
Visiting Disney World or Disneyland is almost an American rite of passage. By some estimates, more than 70% of Americans (and as many as 90%) have visited one of the parks at least once. Just the two original Disney parks saw nearly 70 million visitors in 2024, and Disney World is the most popular travel destination in the U.S., according to a Travel & Leisure survey. Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter While Disney is a must-do for many families, it's expensive. Even the company's CEO Bob Iger recently acknowledged publicly that the cost of a park ticket has led to declining attendance. Related: Disney World adds two massive productions guests will love Disney (DIS) faced criticism in recent months because it increased prices for annual passes by between $30 and $100, depending on the pass type. At the same time, it raised prices for food and beverages at several dining locations in all park locations. Budgeting for meals is a big part of trip planning, and eating in a Disney park is not cheap. The company faced backlash from consumers in October after it revealed menu prices for some items in its Cake Bake Shop Bakery at Disney World's EPCOT. A slice of cake at the new spot is $22 plus $8 for a single scoop of ice cream. After criticism, the park did lower some prices. The company also recently offered some advice on how to eat free at Disney World this year, but the option is only for people who buy multi-day packages. While the packages will appeal to some visitors, many will likely dine a la carte at one of Disney World's 90 full-service restaurants.

The spot is named for Don Shula, the NFL player and coach who was most well known for his years with the Miami Dolphins. Shula died in 2020, and Disney just announced it will close his namesake restaurant in June and replace it with Bourbon Steak by Michael Mina. There are nine Bourbon Steak locations across the country, including in foodie cities such as Las Vegas, Los Angeles, and New York. The new menu includes everything from filet mignon and wagyu beef steaks to Maine lobster pot pie and stone crab claws. Bourbon Steak is scheduled to open mid-summer. For guests who want one more meal at Shula's, the restaurant is taking reservations through June 14, 2025.

How To Spend A Perfect Food-Filled Weekend In Scottsdale
Aerial shot of Scottsdale Scottsdale is a city that knows how to eat. Sure, it's famous for golf, spring training, luxury resorts, and endless sunshine, but its food scene is just as much of a draw. Over the years, it has evolved into a culinary destination, where award-winning chefs, locally loved institutions and buzzy new openings all add to the mix. Mesquite-grilled meats, impeccable sushi and bold Latin flavors fuel a dining landscape that balances high-end polish with a laid-back, desert-driven ethos. This is a city built for those who travel with their appetite first. Here's where to stay and what to eat while you're there. Fairmont Scottsdale Princess The city's newest luxury playground delivers on all fronts: gorgeous desert views, serious culinary firepower and enough golf to keep even the most devoted players entertained. With multiple restaurants—each bringing something different to the table—it's a full-on dining destination in itself. For exciting food options, Bourbon Steak serves prime cuts and duck fat fries, La Hacienda offers tequila pairings with upscale Mexican and Toro Latin Restaurant & Rum Bar brings bold Latin flavors with a view of the TPC golf course. Bonus: the property is stunning, with lush grounds and a resort vibe that makes leaving feel optional. Omni Scottsdale Resort & Spa at Montelucia Spacious rooms, stunning Camelback Mountain views and a design that leans effortlessly luxe—Omni is the kind of place where you wake up, sip coffee on your balcony and feel like you're in your own private retreat. The resort boasts six dining options, but Prado is the elevated choice with its Mediterranean-inspired menu that pairs perfectly with the romantic setting. The move here? Grab a seat at the bar for dinner. The full-service experience can run long, but at the bar, you get the best of both worlds—quick access to cocktails and a front-row seat to the action. Conveniently located in Old Town, The Scott blends Sonoran warmth with refined luxury. Warm wooden furniture and old-world bronze create an inviting desert retreat, while the lush courtyard make it feel like an escape from the city—despite being just minutes from Scottsdale's best shopping, dining and nightlife. At The Canal Club is where Hemingway's Havana comes to life. Sip craft cocktails at the bar or settle in for a multi-course meal of Caribbean-inspired classics with a modern twist. Sip Coffee and Beer House More than just a coffee shop, Sip is a locally owned café, tap house, cocktail bar and community hub that thrives on bringing people together. With a focus on supporting local businesses and giving back through charity causes, it's a space that feels both lively and laid-back. Mornings start with coffee and breakfast, afternoon shift to craft beer and cocktails and special gatherings—like yoga under the stars—bring even more reason to stick around. Sip is all about connection, creativity and community. Original Chopped Salad A casual all-day hangout in the heart of Old Town, Beginner's Luck is the latest from James Beard-nominated chef Bernie Kantak and the team behind The Gladly and Citizen Public House. Begin the day with ingredient-driven brunch and specialty coffee, or come for dinner and enjoy comfort-driven cocktails and chef-crafted plates. The famous chopped salad—a staple across Kantak's restaurants—stands out with its unexpected mix of smoked salmon, couscous and dried sweet corn, proving that even a salad can have a cult following. Beginner's Luck makes every part of the day feel like the right time to be here. Tableside Guacamole at The Mission With pecan- and mesquite-grilled meats, house-made tortillas, and sauces made fresh daily, The Mission is where Latin flavors get the star treatment at either the Old Town or Kierland location. Chef Matt Carter blends influences from Spain, Mexico, Central, and South America, creating a menu that's as refined as it is craveable. The tableside guacamole—mashed to order and impossibly fresh—is a must, setting the stage for smoky, slow-roasted tacos and a cocktail list stacked with premium tequilas and mezcals. The Mission makes every meal feel like an occasion. Toro Interior With sweeping views of the TPC Scottsdale golf course, Toro channels the energy of Latin American dining, where fire, flavor and technique come together seamlessly. Chef Richard Sandoval's menu moves seamlessly from bright ceviches and delicate tiraditos to expertly grilled steaks, all crafted with precision. The Tuna Tiradito with burrata is an unexpected standout—silky fish meets creamy cheese in a way that shouldn't work, yet absolutely does. The Argentinian steaks, raised on heirloom grasslands by generations of gaucho families, arrive flame-kissed and served with chimichurri, shishitos and marble potatoes. The drink list leans heavily into rum and Latin spirits, delivering cocktails that hold their own against the fire and finesse of the kitchen. Tell Your Friends Stepping into Tell Your Friends feels like time-traveling to a different era—dim lighting, vintage aesthetics and a live band that keeps the energy just right. The Blue Cheese Martini is a unique masterpiece, while the Pepperoncini Martini delivers an unexpected kick that lingers in the best way. The food menu holds its own, but for those craving something from The Americano restaurant upstairs, the team will bring it straight into the speakeasy, no questions asked. The experience feels like a secret you stumbled upon—one you won't want to leave. Hush Public House Duck fried rice Hush Public House may be tucked away in a strip mall, but its menu is anything but subtle—flavor-driven, creative and packed with dishes that keep you coming back. The crab hush puppies are golden and crisp, served with a sweet corn remoulade and scallions for the perfect bite of richness and freshness. The duck fried rice layers duck confit, sesame, scallion, house-made rayu and a fried egg, creating a deeply savory, umami-packed dish that demands to be devoured. Cocktails are solid, but a Pinot Noir from Willamette Valley pairs beautifully with the duck fried rice, bringing just the right balance to every bite. Uchi dishes The name Uchi means 'house' in Japanese, and stepping inside feels exactly like that—warm, intimate and effortlessly refined. Founded by James Beard Award-winning chef Tyson Cole, this modern Japanese spot blends elevated food with impeccable service, offering non-traditional sushi, signature tastings and a seasonal omakase. With so many knockout options, if you get overwhelmed, let the chefs take the lead— go for omakase. Local favorites include the Kinoko Nabe, a deeply savory mushroom dish with layers of umami and the Wagyu Carpaccio, where rich, marbled beef meets just the right amount of heat and acidity. The Hamachi Kama (yellowtail collar), one of the most underrated cuts of the fish, is lightly charred and served with unexpected bursts of pineapple flavor, proving that sometimes, the best bites are the ones hiding in plain sight.
