Steak ‘n Shake in the Hunter’s Creek Area

Had breakfast this morning at the Steak ‘n Shake location way down So. OBT in the Hunter’s Creek part of South Orlando. Enjoyed every bite. And the fine service.

Jimmy Hula’s. Fish Tacos. Beer. Good Crew.

I visited the Jimmy Hulu’s on Aloma Ave in Winter Park this week. Bottom line: I liked it. In a review a month or so ago of a different Winter Park eatery, I told the world that the fish tacos in that well-known and… Continue Reading “Jimmy Hula’s. Fish Tacos. Beer. Good Crew.”

Krispy’s Chicken in Groveland is Heaven-on-Earth for Folks Who Love Real Food

I try hard to have lunch or dinner at Krispy’s anytime I pass through the town of Groveland. I passed right by this Mecca of awesome eats a couple of days ago, but alas, it was way passed their closing time. I was cruising… Continue Reading “Krispy’s Chicken in Groveland is Heaven-on-Earth for Folks Who Love Real Food”

Winter Park Fish Company. Big Crowd. Mediocre Food.

Finally had a chance to visit the Winter Park Fish Co. and I must say I was not impressed. Whenever I get to a new Seafood spot, I have to order the Fish Tacos. I did and I was disappointed. I’ve sampled fish tacos… Continue Reading “Winter Park Fish Company. Big Crowd. Mediocre Food.”

Jim’s Place in Elkton Florida For Pizza and Fine Country Fare

I was in Elkton last October for an event at the St. Johns County Fairgrounds and noticed Jim’s Place.

One of Life’s Unsolved Mysteries–KFC and Gravy

Seriously, folks! Why is it that the gravy served with those mashed potatoes at KFC is frickin’ beef gravy? Why can’t you at least ask for a chicken-based gravy to go with those not-that-great mashed taters! Bulldog just cannot understand how this came to… Continue Reading “One of Life’s Unsolved Mysteries–KFC and Gravy”

First Watch is First Choice for Good Grub in Longwood

I found myself driving past First Watch one cold, dreary December morning recently and jumped at the chance to let someone else take care of breakfast. I had spent a very wet night camping nearby at Wekiva Springs State Park and was not up… Continue Reading “First Watch is First Choice for Good Grub in Longwood”

Slow and Low-The Best Damn Barbecue in Cocoa Beach

Note: this review of mine is taken from a visit in April of 2015 and originally appeared on a well-known travel site.

Taco Trucks on Twitter!

The Twitterverse is all abuzz today! And it’s all about tacos! Taco trucks to be more precise! While being interviewed by Joy-Ann Reid yesterday on MSNBC, Donald Trump supporter Marco Gutierrez said this: “My culture is a very dominant culture and it’s imposing and… Continue Reading “Taco Trucks on Twitter!”

Second Trip to Achilles Art Cafe in Orlando

I made it back to Achilles Art Cafe today and the good service and truly unique atmosphere have not changed at all. That’s a good thing. The hours have changed, however; they no longer open one Saturday per month. If you’d like to read… Continue Reading “Second Trip to Achilles Art Cafe in Orlando”
