Border Grill

Al — Wed, 02 May 2012 02:17:06 +0000

I had a feeling I was in for an interesting experience as I pulled into a parking spot in front of, what looks to be, a Mexican restaurant. Other than the fluorescent sign “Open” and “Authentic Mexican Food”, their building displays no name for the restaurant. Border Grill is the name of the restaurant. It [...]

Giordano’s Chicago Style Pizza in Orlando

Shelby — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 18:58:40 +0000

The first time that I ever had Giordano’s famous stuffed pizza was when I was nine years old. I was on vacation with my family in Chicago, and since then I have been fan of their pizza. When I found out that Giordano’s recently opened a location in the Orlando area, I had to go! [...]

Spencer’s for Steak and Chops at the Hilton Orlando

Al — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 16:44:13 +0000

There was a time not long ago when most people would not think to go to a hotel for great food, nor consider a hotel restaurant when choosing a place to go for an evening of fine dining. Thankfully that is now a thing of the past. One example of this is Spencer’s for Steak [...]

David’s Club at the Hilton Orlando

Al — Wed, 28 Dec 2011 17:00:28 +0000

I’m reluctant to call David’s Club Bar & Grille a sport’s bar, because that isn’t the picture I want to convey. David’s Club, though casual and fun, is “secretly” a gastro pub. Yes, they serve many items that are made using the modern American/molecular gastronomy techniques, but they’re not very vocal about it. We were invited to [...]

What to do for New Year’s Eve

Pearleen Buchala — Wed, 21 Dec 2011 01:42:31 +0000

Every year, I have either celebrated New Year’s Eve at a house party or in the comfort of my own bed. Why do I sound so lame? Well that is because, one; I don’t want to drive around that night and two; it seems that you have to pay a premium cover charge just to [...]
