They do offer pitchers for an extremely low price; $5 for a pitcher of Yueng-Ling. So, i’ll pay a little exrta for fries because I know the many pitchers i will consume will make up for that.

Well we are from England and we love the Tiki Bar – the burgers and wings are great! We always visit at least 2 – 3 times when we are over at our villa.

Great food, Have eaten there several times. The problem is the portions are too big. I suppose I could eat 1/2 and save for later, but it tastes too good to save for later!

Comment on Bocuse d’Or RFPs? by hpandaw

No plans to review it fully, no. We did walk around the first week it was in place. But we were just killing time until the BdO started up, so were not eating. Offerings looked pretty similar to last year, with the notable replacement of Oklahoma with Louisiana. I think we both agreed that it seemd to have the most enticing food. And we miss the honey station from a few years back.

We are planning another visit in a few weeks when some guests come to town. Unofrtunately that’ll be right around the time you’re visiting, so we’d be out of time to give you any heads up.

Friends have said that the crowds are at typical volume. We can find out more, if you have any specific questions. Also, check the Orlando Sentinal for some (biased) reviews.

Also, you can find a pretty active (and comprehensive) thread on CHowhound, here:

Any plans to provide a review for the Food and Wine Festival? Wife and I are going in two weeks, and we’d love to hear your feedback.

Very well written and entertaining. I wish a certain someone would’ve told me about it earlier. Nevertheless, reading this entry made it seem as though I was really there.

1) Shame on you for blasting a restaurant which didn’t serve the food you ASSUMMED they may provide when not even viewing the menu at a new restaurant before sitting down. I’ve been to many restaurants that didn’t have anything I cared for, and simply left, but that’s not their fault. The restaurant may cater to a certain group of eaters. Many themed restaurants do, and you should have done your homework first, especially since your so massively finicky about what you are allowed to eat.

2) Contrary to what many vegitarians, or in your case pescatarians, may think, most people are immediately mindful of what you can or cannot eat, especially since there are a number of different subsets of vegitarians. Vegans for example have different eating habits than pescatarians. Should we all be expected to know what this is? I was a food server all through college, and I didn’t. She suggested noodles because it was the first thing to enter her, but then she remembered that they were made with beef broth (remember new restaurant = newly trained server). I’d be darn appreciative she told me, instead of letting slide after remembering.

Too bad you were so cranky. I’m sure you made HER christmas day a wonderful one. At least you didn’t have to work that day, like your server. Congrats for winning the Grinch award.
