The Food Blog Forum attendees took a break from learning for a mini Party for the Senses in the World ShowPlace, which is located inside Epcot in that odd little gap on the right just after the Canada Pavilion. The building beyond the gates is an event space for anything from galas, to luncheons, to […]

Food Blog Forum Orlando 2012 in Two Parts
Disney, Food, and Knowledge Forkful launched one year ago this month with one ongoing goal: to continue to grow and learn about writing, photography, and sharing the food experience. I just missed last year’s Food Blog Forum, but I was able to attend this year’s event. Over 100 eager food bloggers converged on the Walt […]
Le Café de Paris in Doctor Phillips
Le Café de Paris is a little slice of Europe nestled on the edge of Doctor Phillips behind the Stonewood Tavern. They offer fresh, traditional breads — the baguettes come out hot and ready to devour! There are also hot sandwiches, soups du jour, and salads to start the day or nurse that morning after […]
Winn-Dixie in Fern Park
Winn-Dixie’s motto in recent years has been, “We’re getting better all the time.” There was even an acappella jingle and everything, but not even acappella could make me forget the sticky floors and wilted produce of Central Florida Winn-Dixies twenty years ago. There, I unveiled the elephant in the middle of the room. Now I can shoo that […]
Timpano Italian Chophouse & Martini Bar in Doctor Phillips
Italian restaurants are decent for the most part, but few rise above that line to memorable.

Timpano recently hosted a food blogger tweetup where Chef Patrick and his kitchen staff shared […]

Valentine’s Day Dinner at The Boheme
Guest Post By: Kathleen Drozdowski, The Seasonal Vegetarian (kdrozdowski [at] gmail.com • @theseasonalkat) I was recently (and fortunately!) asked by my good friend Marilyn to attend a preview dinner at the Boheme for their Valentine’s Day menu in her stead. As my husband and I had never been, but frequently heard about the restaurant, we were glad […]
The Capital Grille’s Plates Winter Menu
The only few months out of the year that Floridians can enjoy cool weather outside are those first few precious months of the new year. Luckily, Darden’s The Capital Grille continues to offer new, affordable specials on their Winter Lunch Plates Menu. Unlike it’s cousins Olive Garden and Red Lobster, The Capital Grille goes for […]
Quick Bite: Braised Fish at Teriyaki House
Teriyaki House may look like a typical American Chinese take-out place, and they do serve all the American staples, but the real draw is the Taiwanese food. Remember to take notice of the photo menus displayed in the store front windows and at the ordering counter; neither menu was in English. The non-English menus always […]
Finesse (n: the restaurant) in Lake Mary

This Latin-inspired menu belongs to Finesse (n: the restaurant), a cozy, chef-owned restaurant in Lake Mary, Florida. The main dining room and bar were decorated in dark wood and deep crimson. The walls were covered in culinary terms […]
