When in Yard House, look up. Over 150+ lines run to 150+ kegs of domestic and imported brews right above your head. Enjoy a Trappist seasonal, a tart cherry Petrus, or order a Belgian beer flight just for kicks. Now it’s time for dessert, right? Make it a dessert flight with a […]

Artegon Top 5 Treat Spots
Right now, Artegon Marketplace eats are limited. Subway sandwiches are an easy get, but the poor weekend staff seemed overwhelmed with the sheer amount of people needing food on opening weekend. Fuddruckers (hamburgers, fries, and milkshakes) is the casual sit-down restaurant. Cinemark movie theatre offers reasonably grilled chicken sandwiches, hot dogs, and other snacks, including Blue Bell […]
Orlando Magical Dining at Bistro CloClo
“It’s the most wonderful time of the year!” Yes, it’s Orlando Magical Dining Month. Three-course dinner, USD 33.00 plus tax, tip not included. There is no better time of year to test drive a new anniversary, birthday, or any-day spot on a budget. Restaurants all over the spectrum participate, and this year part of the […]
Kappo Dinner at East End Market
Eleven courses. Sounds like a lot doesn’t it? But really, it was the perfect amount. Kappo, a restaurant style where food served to guests seated in the kitchen, recently hosted a series of pop-up dinners with different themes. The final June dinner before their grand opening at East End Market last week echoed the theme […]
Travel Bite: Food and Sake in Kyoto
Oyakodon. Ramen. Japanese diner staple food. A rice bowl topped with a chicken-egg-onion scramble, and a bowl full of tasty broth with noodles and toppings. These were the first things Mr. Forkful and I ate after a late-March 19-hour flight into Narita International and a loong late-night train ride to Kyoto. Not the romanticized idea I had in my head […]
Sushi Pop in Oviedo: Highlights
Mr. Forkful and I were fortunate enough to have spent two weeks in Japan from late March to early April this year — he eloquently shared our adventure and photos on his blog (http://adamfortuna.com/japan/)— and ever since the trip we have been a little fearful that sushi would never taste the same. Tsukiji Market in Tokyo, […]
PechaKucha in the Name of Love
PechaKucha (puh-CHA keh-SHAW) — although I can only seem to say peh-chach-ka — Orlando just celebrated its twelfth anniversary with talks that pay tribute to love in all its forms. Quilts? Lost love? Tech love? All that and more was represented by some amazing speakers including Carolyn Moor (Modern Widows Club), Thomas Thorspecken (Analog Artist Digital World), […]
Quantum Leap Winery, La Femme Du Fromage, and Peterbrooke
A few weeks ago the lovely Lisa Wilk (Orlando Uncorked, Taste Cook Sip) organized an event in conjunction with Quantum Leap Winery and La Femme du Fromage herself, Tonda Corrente. The ladies of Central Florida Lady Bloggers Wine had a very happy hour pairing Quantum Leap’s signature whites and reds, include Kailey’s Rescue Red, with […]
Top Central Florida Restaurants From Kissimmee to Orlando 2013
That go-to spot for fish tacos, or that must-have burger — everyone has a favorite haunt they don’t think twice to revisit. Those are the places that should end up on top ten lists or as recommendations to visitors, but that doesn’t always happen. I have dug through the depths of my smartphone to bring […]
Magical Dining: Luma on Park in Winter Park
Fall means three things in Orlando; cooler weather, the Epcot International Food and Wine Festival, and Orlando’s Magical Dining Month. Mr. Forkful and I gear up for Magical Dining by making a list and checking it twice like it’s foodie Christmas. This year, Orlando’s Magical Dining month includes more than 60 participating restaurants serving three courses […]
