3 for 3

So far, Jake and I have 3 favorite places
to eat in Orlando. We also love seeing friends and family
who travel through Orlando.  So during the fall, we teamed up 
some great friends with some of our favorite joints.
A perfect combination!

1. Earl of Sandwich


This is a sandwich joint located in Downtown Disney.  
During the Thanksgiving and Christmas season, 
they have a delicious toasted  "holiday sandwich" filled with 
shaved turkey, stuffing, and cranberry sauce.

We LOVED seeing the Kaleta's (my former employers in Virginia)
and having sandwiches with them in November.  
We're so glad they have family in Florida so we can 
see them periodically and watch Reagan grow.





2. 4 Rivers

There are no words to describe just how delicious 4 Rivers is.
Our favorite meal is the pulled BBQ pork (although
their brisket is also renowned), with tasty sides like 
fried pickles, okra, and green beans.  

So we were excited when Owen
(a friend from my cruise ship days) 
came to town and was up for some BBQ.  


4 Rivers is located just minutes away from our favorite
frozen yogurt joint, so we couldn't resist 
topping off the evening at Yogurtland.


3. TWIST Asian Fusion



We are lucky to have this restaurant right across the street 
from our apartment (this picture was taken from our balcony).
Not only do they have a hibachi grill complete with salad, soup,
grilled veggies, fried rice, AND noodles 
(plus your choice of meat, chicken, or fish), 
but we have become friends with the chef, Bruno, 
who supplies us with entertaining jokes 
and unlimited "yum-yum" sauce!

We are always looking for excuses to eat here, and 
so we were excited when Haylie and Bryan Belnap 
(high school friends of mine) came to town.  
As always, the food was great, and so was the company.

Love me some BBQ pork. My favorite! That place will definitely be on our list when we come out there.

I am happy. So happy. Do you know why? I'll tell you.

I've been to 2 of the 3 restaurants (3 pf 4 if you count Yogurtland). They were incredible. Good choices, Sister Deines.
