Thomas Keller's initial plans to revive the historic Ta-boo restaurant in Palm Beach fell through due to disagreements with local jeweler Win Betteridge. However, sources indicate that Keller has reached a new agreement with property developer Stephen Ross to potentially open a restaurant in West Palm Beach. Despite its lesser reputation compared to Palm Beach Island, West Palm has been undergoing significant development and transformation, spearheaded by Ross, who has moved from New York to the area.
Chef Thomas Keller and Win Betteridge have mutually agreed not to jointly pursue the revival of Palm Beach's Ta-boo Restaurant. The two parties could not come to an agreed operational concept and will not be partnering on this project.
West Palm was long considered less fashionable than Palm Beach Island, but it has blossomed in the last couple of years - even Elon Musk is rumored to be eyeing a six-digit penthouse there.
Ross, CEO and Chairman of Related Ross, and founder of global real estate enterprise, Related Companies, relocated from New York to West Palm this year and is largely responsible for the area's metamorphosis.
Keller, one of the most renowned American chefs - with a slew of cookbooks and film credits - has an affinity for Florida; he began his restaurant career as a dishwasher at the Palm Beach Yacht Club.
