friday: food is served



if you follow me on instagram you know that we moved to orlando last month...and all we've been doing is eating.

but really.
the best part of orlando (besides being neighbors with harry potter and mickey mouse) is the food. and the fact that the food can't really be found anywhere else.
you see i come from a place that is just chain restaurants. except dakines. and i do miss dakines.

now dinner and lunch. and all meals in general are delicious.

so i figured. let's blog about it.
because who doesn't love food. and who doesn't love weekly posts?

here's what you should know going into these posts.

i don't watch what i eat.
i'll always pick the thing covered in cheese.
chocolate ends most of my meals.
and i believe eating until you're stuffed out of your face.



with that being said. i'm pretty excited about these weekly food posts i'll be doing.
some will be dinners that i made, some will be dinners i didn't make. maybe some will have ice cream in them.

i told husband tonight that we're pretty much eating our way through orlando.
and i am a ok with that.

so with that. here's the first friday: food is served.


restaurant: pharmacy
meal: salmon pizza with goat cheese, chives, onions, and tomatoes
drink: some sort of something with lavender (it was a pretty color) and vodka
why i loved it: you walk in through an elevator. hello hipster heaven. it's set up like a speak easy. all the cocktails and food are totally made in house with all local ingredients.  



restaurant: spice
meal: shrimp tempura roll & mexican roll
drink: some sort of blueberry lemonade. in a fancy glass
why i loved it: my date. chelsea is pretty much my soul mate, and i couldn't be happier to live close to her. also. the sushi was really great. 



restaurant: greek flame taverna
meal: gyro platter
why i loved it: i wasn't having the bests of days. but this meal was beyond amazing. i looked like a bum in such a fancy restaurant. but owned it. we also got a hummus platter. and then this amazing chocolate mousse at the end. 



restaurant: the coop
meal: fried chicken, fried green tomatoes, broccoli salad, pimento cheese grits
why i loved it: think old barn yard meets panera. you walk through to get your food like a cafeteria, so it's quick. but so beyond tasty. the tables are exactly what i'd put in my dinning room. it's homey. 

amen thank you Lord. 

if there's any killer restaurants near you. share! #foodiesunited 

happy friday!
