gotta agree with you Squirrelly... Roy's is great. I know it's a chain but it's a high-end chain that has a limited number of them, like Del Friscos or something. What's Jay talking about? There are a ton of excellent restaurants in Orlando.
Oh, what was the place in Captiva where you got jobbed... Bubble Room? |
The Over-Easy Cafe... it's a breakfast place.
and mmmingmmmm at the Mucky Duck food :tongue2 |

i went to almost every restaurant i ever saw in winter park, including a french bistro run by a guy from montreal. They were not up to snuff sorry. To be fair most american cities are blessed with crap cuisine if they are not a major center.
i am not saying they were absolute tripe by any means, but i think we have different perspectives when it comes to gourmet/fine dining.
we grow up with it here, in orlando it is not something ingrained into the population. I am also from a snooty french place though:p
orlando is a small city with more rednecks than non rednecks (and the most non rednecks are in school and can't afford nice restaurants), it is normal that it is not up to par with say nyc. demographic demographic demographic. |
Hey ass - the sushi restaurant called Sakura is a hole in the wall in Winter Park and is ing BOMB. Once you eat there, you can never eat at any other sushi restaurant ever again. I've converted everyone. |

yeah, but you are dating a common quebecois from a lower class family if that is the case. He does do manual labour:p
quebec white trash is hilarious. You can usually spot them at flea markets buying fake affliction shirts and hitting on women 40 years older than them:p
the ones from money don't eat that unless its meat pie at christmas that ma tante pasdedents from gaspe made. |

lol
well i met his parents and they aren't the trashy type. in fact, his mom is a pretty damn good gormet cook and loves nice wines, etc.. and was a stay at home mom always cooking for him. i'm surprised he doesn't have a more sophisticated pallet after he told me about the stuff she made for him as a kid (rack of lamb with mint jelly, japanese food, etc... not your typical white trash food). and his grandfather is a stingy millionaire. hopefully he'll leave some for patrick seeing that it's his only grandson lol
but yea, he does come from a smaller town (Laval) and has the pallet of a 12 year old :stongue: |

| I ate in a little hole in the wall authentic greek diner in downtown Detroit in the Greektown area and it was the most amazing lamb gyros I've had in my life. Opa ! the ing cheese they lit up with a quick burst of fire and let it sizzle on the steel tray was amazing. Greeks know how to throw down. |

i think laval is the second biggest city in quebec.
i was just poking fun slylee, most people hare have awesome taste in food and i can tell you that i don't know too many people that eat mince meat, potatoes and gravy on a regular here. Are you sure he isn't irish?:p
when you guys come down one day, you will see that the restaurants here are pwn...albeit not at florida prices. You can even jet ski the st lawrence! |
