thoughts and plans for Food & Wine 2014

Planning for Food & Wine is always exciting and at the same time a bit daunting…

On a recent visit to Splitsville, we weren’t in the mood for sushi or salads, but wanted something cool and flavorful… So we went with a Turkey Club Sandwich!

bluezoo with Beth & Kurt

This dining experience took place on Friday, May 30, 2014

I didn’t make a lot of notes, sometimes dinner with friends is just dinner with friends – even when the iPhone comes out to take photos… Chef Ryan wasn’t around on this evening, Chef Jimmy and Tony took good care of us.

Amuse with a

Spice Road Table – Hummus and Olives v2

On this visit to Spice Road Table, we had big Nabil again. We weren’t seated by the window, but instead in one of the curved banquettes (sorry, the lighting isn’t as good for photos, and note: if you’re overheated, these aren’t very cool temperature-wise and there isn’t much air circulation).

I had a glass of

Grilled Avocado – Splitsville, Downtown Disney

This experience took place on May 22, 2014

Okay, there have been some recent changes to the menu at Splitsville (I believe it was on May 19th). One of the new items is called the “grilled avocado” – one of the managers described it to us before it went on the menu and

Il Mulino, a repeat visit

This dining experience took place on May 23, 2014

We returned to Il Mulino for dinner on a Friday night, thankfully, it wasn’t a Friday associated with a holiday or a Disney Running event… We had no trouble getting a table, but we discovered why we hadn’t heard back from Angela (GM), she’s moved on

Fire Roll – Splitsville, Downtown Disney

More sushi! We were so pleased with the Fantasy Roll that we had a couple of days ago, that we wanted more! So, let’s try the Fire Roll.

Spice Road Table – Mixed Grill

This experience took place on March 13, 2014

We’re at Spice Road Table again, this time we have Amine as our server and we decided to try the last thing on the menu that we haven’t tasted… The Mixed Grill.

Fantasy Roll – Splitsville, Downtown Disney

This dining experience took place on May 16, 2014

Today, we’re going to review our first sushi roll at Splitsville. Now, to be honest, we’ve been rather dubious about getting sushi at Splitsville – even though we’ve seen glowing reviews on other blogs. On this day, sushi just seemed to be the right

We go back to Shula’s Steakhouse with “newbies”… Lisa & Andy

This experience took place on Friday, May 16, 2014

As a whole, we’ve been enjoying our visits to Shula’s Steakhouse. I’m sure that’s in no small part due to Joseph and the other staff. Lisa really likes Joseph, so when we began to talk about where to eat on their recent trip to
