Breakfast at The Wave – two visits

We went to The Wave at the Contemporary Resort twice in less than a week. It really has become our go-to for breakfast (well heck, we tried calling to get into Kouzzina by Cat Cora for breakfast and were told that the only table was at 10:30 (that ain’t breakfast, that’s brunch!) and when we’ve

We have plans!! (of course we do)

Last week, there was an announcement re: Kevin Dundon (who you probably know by now is a favorite of ours…) – he’s doing a demonstration luncheon in March at Raglan Road…

We aren’t really INTO the signature dinners (he’s doing one of those on March 13th) and we thought that the “demonstration” part of

Repost: Hoop Dee Doo Revue

This is a repost of our first visit to Hoop Dee Doo back in 2011. We’re headed back to Pioneer Hall on Friday with Walter and Cathy & John. We expect to have a great time… again!

We understand that there have been some changes in the past three years… The Hoop Dee Doo

We return to Il Mulino after a long hiatus

We haven’t been to Il Mulino in quite a while (we think it’s been about 3 years). Why? Well, our first three visits, not long after the location reopened as Il Mulino were all pretty disastrous. One visit with just us went poorly… the service wasn’t good and the food was only moderately good. The

Our first dinner at Shula’s

Surprisingly, we’ve never eaten at Shula’s Steakhouse in the Dolphin. Well, maybe it isn’t so surprising since we aren’t steak eaters (and this visit to Shula’s has undone that). But, Joseph from bluezoo recently moved to Shula’s and since he was our favorite server there, we had to go see him in his new place.

Breakfast at Fresh Mediterranean Market at the Dolphin Resort

We had never eaten at Fresh before this breakfast in December. A couple of reasons: (1) we’re rarely at this resort in the mornings and (2) it’s a buffet with an a la carte option [much like Garden Grove]… However, we’ve decided that we should give eateries at the Swan and Dolphin resorts that AREN’T

Lunch with an Animal Specialist at Sanaa (2nd time around)

We were very pleased to go back to Sanaa for the Lunch with an Animal Specialist Thanksgiving Weekend. This was the first time that our friends Kris & Kevin had eaten at Sanaa – but interestingly, it wasn’t the first time that the four of us teamed up to do something special at Animal Kingdom

Chef’s Tasting of White Truffles from Alba at bluezoo

subtitle: Salt

We received a tweet from Chef Ryan the other evening, “come have dinner tomorrow night we have some great white truffle from alba” – well, you can’t turn down a Chef’s direct request can you? Not when you KNOW the food is going to be amazing… And amazing it was – the food,

bluezoo lounge for oysters, 2 appetizers, and a surprise from the new chef de cuisine

We were recently at bluezoo, as is our wont… On this particular evening, we weren’t really that hungry and planned to have oysters and to split a couple of appetizers.

Steamboat Oysters (Puget Sound, Washington state) a.k.a. Totten Oysters… with Nora’s favorite accompaniments (plain horseradish, lemons, and sriracha)

We each had two of
