One of the best, affordable Disney luncheons is the lunch buffet at the Biergarten. Approximately $28 dollars gets an adult guest an unlimited smorgasbord of German staples like snitzel, sauerkraut, brautwursts, and beef roast including fountain drinks. Sorry beer fans, amber-filled steins are extra. The best part is that people with late lunch reservations can […]

Lee & Rick’s Oyster Bar and Seafood House
Located on the not-so-hidden corner of Kirkman Road and Old Winter Garden Road, Lee & Rick’s Oyster Bar and Seafood House has been serving fresh Florida fish and oysters on the half shell since 1950. Lee & Ricks is a comfortable, no-frills kind of place. The main entrance to the restaurant is lined with dozens […]
Great Food Blogger Cookie Swap 2011: Pinwheel Cookies
My track record with cookie-making started and stopped, at least for a time, a few holiday seasons ago. The epic fail? A melted cookie cake that was originally meant to be a dozen chewy chocolate chip cookies. One of my friends tried to analyze where I’d gone wrong; the butter wasn’t room temperature and I […]
Quick Bite: Cornell Café in Delray Beach
Two close friends were recently married, and had a romantic reception in Delray Beach, Florida. At our friends’ suggestion, Adam and I set out to explore a little of Delray Beach the day after celebrations and came across the gorgeous Morikami Museum and Japanese Gardens. Before we spent most of the day strolling through some amazing landscape, […]
Latin Food and Wine Festival 2011
Last year’s Latin Food and Wine Festival passed me by, but I was determined not to let this annual event pass me by again this year. Think of this festival as a showcase of Latin flavors from around Central Florida. Representatives from local restaurants set up tents in a tight stretch of Crane’s Roost Park beside Altamonte […]
Epcot Int’l Food and Wine Festival 2011: Part 2
There are several festival dishes that will look familiar from my last post, so I would retrace those steps again, but consider those dishes apart of my festival favorites. Many menu items, like Argentina’s beef skewers with chimichurri sauce and the Fisherman’s Pie, were also present at last year’s festival, which makes them reliable hold-overs […]
K Burgers on Orange Avenue
Before you visit K Burgers, the main question you can ask yourself is, “Am I ready for serious eats?” The only answer is yes. K Burgers is one of Orlando’s newest food trucks, and this purveyor of unique, juicy burgers, naked hot dogs, and breakfast bagels is permanently located on Orange Avenue and Jennie Jewell […]
NaraDeva Thai Restaurant Near The Mall at Millenia
NaraDeva Thai Restaurant is a welcomed change from all the chain restaurants packed into the Mall at Millennia area. The chains are a decent fast food option for harried shoppers, but they don’t hold a candle to NaraDeva’s unique, healthier options since a lot of sodium and other hidden calories hitch a ride in ready-made […]
Cevíche Tapas Bar and Restaurant
Hispanic dinners are boisterous and involve sharing conversation over courses upon courses of food with family and friends. A meal is as fun as it is intimate. Cevíche Tapas Bar & Restaurant specializes in tapas — small plates of cold and hot entrées — which is one of the best ways to share a group dinning experience. […]
Epcot Int’l Food and Wine Festival 2011: Part 1
Epcot International Food and Wine Festival annually takes advantage of the beautiful Fall Florida weather and existing World Showcase pavilions to feature tapas-style dishes from around the world. There are several new booths this year, including Hawai’i, Caribbean Islands, Scandinavia, and Portugal, which also includes a Portugal Wine Bar. I’m a little sad that Puerto […]
