When looking for the best restaurants to eat at while traveling, it’s usually best to get advice from a local food expert. For Miami food, one of my favorite blogs that I turn to is BurgerBeast.com where food blogger, Sef Gonzalez, writes about great comfort food and burgers. Earlier this year I was in Miami [...]

Traveling and eating are my favorites things to do in life. I go as far as to plan all my trips & daily itineraries around where I will be eating each day. For me, traveling & food goes hand-in-hand and I’ve really become obsessed with visiting certain restaurants to eat in each and every trip. [...]

A group of food friends and I got together one evening to experience the Cask and Larder Whole Cookery Feast. It’s a dinner feast where your party is served family-style, a signature butchered cut with shareable sides and dessert. We decided to go with the Smoked Suckling Pig dinner, for the obvious reason, we all [...]

The Ravenous Pig is now featuring a Chef’s Tasting Menu during their dinner hours. The five course tasting menu with amuse bouche is developed by Executive Chef, Joseph Burnett, and features seasonal ingredients and creative culinary ideas.

When the new Cask & Larder restaurant announced they were starting a Sunday brunch a few weeks after their grand opening, I knew I had to go. Being a fan of Southern cuisine and brunch menu items, it just made sense to me. A Southern style brunch is also a great pairing with a cocktail or beer [...]

“BAM!” “Kick it up a notch!” These were my favorite catch phrases by Chef Emeril Lagasse when I used to watch his cooking shows back in the day. I always wanted to be in that studio audience to taste the dishes that he made and to watch him cook. That opportunity came up recently and [...]

The 2012 Epcot Food & Wine Festival is kicking off to a great start this year with new dishes, marketplaces, and a few twists to some favorite dishes. I attended the opening weekend and I was excited to try what was new. There were a few changes to some of the marketplace locations from the [...]

On the opening day of the 2012 Epcot Food & Wine Festival, I attended a media event hosted by Ocean Spray. We were able to sample some food and cocktails using fresh cranberries and cranberry products. Later in the evening we were able to actually get into the cranberry bog and experience it.   (click [...]

Recently I got to preview the new Red Eye Bar and Grill that opened this week. You may remember them as the Red Eye BBQ food truck which we featured here back in 2011. After a stint as a local food truck (one of Orlando’s first modern food trucks), the family sold their truck and [...]
