Pointe Orlando restaurants pitched in this past weekend for an annual event to benefit the Florida Hospital’s Esophageal Cancer Program. The majority of Pointe Orlando restaurants like The Oceanaire Seafood Room, Tommy Bahamas, and Cuba Libre provided unlimited tapas portions of their specialty dishes for a $20 advanced registration fee or $30 the day of […]
Restaurants
El Potro Mexican Restaurant
El Potro Mexican Restaurant has made its home where breakfast-brunch place, Le Peep, used to be on the corner of Kirkman Road and Conroy Road. They offer hearty, homestyle Mexican at affordable prices. The buffet is the best value, and everything on the long, L-shaped table is fabulous! My favorite thing to do so far […]
Spooky’s Cafe in the Milk District
The other night went on a double-date to Spooky’s Cafe with Adam and went gaga over the eats! Photos of these eats were never posted—unbelievable, I know. So today I’m going two-birds-one-stone and test-driving the Picsin Android photo editor and collage-maker with a few yummy pics from Spooky’s. From top to bottom: Spinach and Artichoke […]
Disney’s California Grill: Our Fifth Anniversary
When people talk about California Grill at the Contemporary Resort, a choir of angels sing Handel overhead. Both Adam and I decided to have our fifth anniversary dinner at the Grill where we could watch the Wishes fireworks and have fabulous food! We both kind of forgot there was an observation deck for the fireworks, […]
Kafe Kalik, Safe Bahamas-Style Flavor at Orlando Premium Outlets
Equal cravings for Disney pins and blackened fish pointed me to the Premium Outlets on I-Drive. After a quick stop at the Disney Character Warehouse, Adam and I took up a booth inside Kafe Kalik. The restaurant is cozy without being cramped, and the booths are elevated. The interiors are warm yellows, dark woods, and splashes […]
Teriyaki House serves fabulous Taiwanese!
At first blush, Teriyaki House looks like an American Chinese take-out restaurant. I mean, there’s large yellow letters plastered multiple times in the windows that read “Chinese Take-Out”. The restaurant even has an American menu at the register that lists all the typical take-out fare. If it weren’t for Chi W.’s Yelp review, Adam and […]
Visit Walt Disney World and Enjoy Local Flavor!
Adam and I are newly-minted Disney Passholder and Tables in Wonderland cardholders, but just because our food options have increased exponentially — Epcot Food and Wine Festival anyone? That doesn’t mean we’ll show our favorite, more affordable local eateries any less love. A short ten-minute drive away from Disney property is Sandlake Road Exit 74A […]
Epcot International Food and Wine Festival 2010
While Adam and I didn’t get to Food and Wine it up until after 6:30 p.m., we met up with Kathleen and Mike and made it from Puerto Rico to Ireland in record time! This was just the highlight tour, but I had an amazing time. After a quick run to the Epcot pin trading […]
Epcot: La Hacienda de San Angel
La Hacienda de San Angel, which is Epcot’s newest sit-down restaurant, is located right on the water in the Mexico Pavilion. After some heavy rain the crowd had thinned out in the park. By seven o’clock, tired and wet poncho-clad families were filing out of the World Showcase while Adam, Kathleen, Mike, and I made […]
Mama Nems’ Soul Food
Mama Nem’s was packed with diners and had a 45 minute wait for seating on a Thursday evening! One of the hostesses pointed my boyfriend, a friend, and I in the direction and mentioned that we could get dinner to-go immediately. I was already famished and seduced by the savory aromas wafting around, so I […]
