Earls Kitchen & Bar –  Mall at Millenia Opening September 21st. Great to be invited to the soft opening of the new Earl’s Kitchen &  Bar – Mall at Millenina located in Unit 246 – 4200 Conroy Road Orlando.

The Cheesecake Factory. Just like admitting you had a poster of some random band on your bedroom wall as a teenager or owning up to that dubious item of clothing still hanging in your wardrobe, saying you like the Cheesecake Factory can be just as socially awkward. That is until you meet a fellow Cheesecake fan. Be the first to …

Toasted – 1945 Aloma Avenue Winter Park. Here at OFC we are always on the lookout for interesting food options that won’t break the bank, so today popped into Toasted for a takeout lunch, very much on the spur of the moment. Toasted is located in the Aloma Avenue strip mall and describes itself as an experience based, fast casual …

Malbec started to become popular well over ten years ago, and the Argentinian variety (my favorite) was mainly consumed inside that country.

Since its inception the accolades have consistently piled up year after year, and expansion plans …

Pepe’s Cantina – 433 West New England Avenue Winter Park.   Local independent restaurants are the life blood of any successful food economy, not only do they provide variations of food styles that major chains run a mile from, but they put their heart and soul into the business as their personal message to the customer. Once such business is …

Slate – 8323 West Sand Lake Road Orlando Slate simply describes itself as a “Classic Modern American Restaurant, boasting wood grilled cuisine and open air dining in the heart of the Dr. Phillips neighborhood.” But believe me they are selling themselves short, this place is “Amazing.” We dropped in for “Brunch” today and were absolutely blown away by the ambiance, service …
