After a disastrous New York City trip during Christmas time, I learned a lesson not to go to the most packed city in America during the busiest time of the year. But one of the solaces I found was this fantastic pizza joint near my hotel that served an amazing margherita slice that I quietly…
I have been wanting to try Mae Tao and Sons for a while now, but because they mostly run a dinner operation I haven’t really gotten the chance. Luckily I was able to make it out during their limited lunch hours on a Friday afternoon. Tips for Visiting
Puerto Rico is the first Latin American place I visited and while I was there I ate a lot of pork and had a great trip. I don’t think I’ve had Puerto Rican food in years since that vacation. That changed today and Crocante exceeded my expectations. Maybe it’s because I didn’t do much restaurant…
For most restaurants, I usually hear some buzz around them or come across them on social media before they even open, but Mugendai completely slipped my radar. Maybe because it is out of the way in Oviedo, away from the center of the foodie boom in Orlando. But as a sushi fanatic this place showed…
Poke is an iconic staple of Hawaii that I haven’t had the opportunity to eat a lot of, mostly because the quality of poke here in Orlando is very mediocre. A poke bowl should have two key ingredients, the rice and the fish. Any place that puts edamame or drowns out the taste of the…
I really like Cuban food but I never seek it out in Orlando because the ones I have tried do not match up to the restaurants I’ve had in Miami. It’s surprising since the two cities aren’t that far in proximity, but the quality difference is significant. I came across Cubans On Wheels while looking…
This is a pop-up that’s been on my radar for a while but I just never got the chance to go since it only runs from Friday to Monday night. Tuun is a separate menu operating inside Sea Thai Orlando, and it focuses on upscale Thai dishes that I’m honestly not too familiar with. Orlando’s…
Usually on Valentine’s Day, my wife and I will choose to go to a fine dining establishment, but we waited too long this year and every single place was booked out like a month in advance. So we went to the old reliable Kabooki, but this time it was the Sand Lake location because the…
My second visit to Okonomi, and at this point my blog is pretty much dedicated to sushi in the Orlando area. I love high quality traditional sushi, and in Orlando that can be hard to come by. There’s a big divide between the Americanized sushi establishments that are more casual and the high end book…
Back with another sushi review because that’s been pretty much all I eat when we have a date night it seems. With the temporary closure of Natsu Omakase, which is my go to spot for an omakase experience, we decided to retry Sushi Izuki again now that it’s been over half a year since their…
