Stopping by the Three Broomsticks on my way from London’s Diagon Alley to Hogsmeade village and Hogwarts, I knew I had to stop by the Three Broomsticks for a bit of refreshment after the long train ride. For those of you you who have no clue what I’m talking about, stick with me. The Three Broomsticks is a restaurant/pub featured in Harry Potter’s Wizarding World that was brought to life […]
Having previously stopped for lunch at Diagon Alley’s Leaky Cauldron, I knew that one of the top spots on my “to-do” list for future visits was a meal at the Three Broomsticks in Hogsmeade, the little village nearby Hogwarts that (in the muggle world) is located in Universal’s Islands of Adventure park. I have eaten a meal at the Three Broomsticks once before as a gluten/dairy eater and have stopped […]
When it (magically) appeared at our table, the runner announced my meal as the “allergy” chicken sandwich. I liked that they did this as double confirmation that my meal was prepared separately. I initially thought I had received salmon on my sandwich due to the dining room’s diminished lighting, but realized that the chicken was just thinly sliced and grilled. The bun appeared to be an Udi’s bun, but I cannot say […]
On the coldest day of 2015 (so far) in the sunshine state, there’s only one way to remedy the chill in the air: a nice steaming bowl of Vietnamese pho. After discovering the magic of pho in Orlando’s heavily Asian Mills 50 District, I was determined to make a return visit to scope out more gluten-free options. With my mom and a neighborhood friend in tow, we set our sights […]
After discovering the comfort food and study fuel properties of pho last year during my final weeks in Maryland, I could not wait to come back to Orlando in search of this Vietnamese delicacy. After spending New Year’s Eve a little sick and left out of my family’s tradition of Italian food, I wanted to start 2015 on the right foot with a steaming bowl of broth and noodles. Re-branded […]
Though I have sampled bakeries here there and everywhere I go, I have a soft spot in heart for Raphsodic Bakery as my go-to Central Florida bakery. Specializing in vegan and gluten-free fare, visiting the bakery is one of the first things I do when I return back to Florida and has introduced me to baked goods I’d never thought I’d taste, much less enjoy, again. I posted about Raphsodic […]
After three months away from the sunshine state, I have long awaited my Thanksgiving return for a chance to enjoy home cooked meals and taste a new restaurant or two. It’s amazing how refreshing a break from dining hall fare can be for this foodie freshman. Although I’ve been able to sneak of campus here and there, a recent string of papers, essays, and exams- in addition to cold weather- […]
After finishing off my popsicle from Peak Season Pops, I decided to wander around the various vendors around Lake Eola and it’s surrounding park. Spotting familiar faces such as Tamale Co. it was cool to see a thoroughly blended mix of food vendors, artisans, and other local purveyors offering items of all shapes and sizes. One vendor in particular- All Dried Up- caught my eye as I strolled through with their assortment of […]
Let’s just face it: Florida is miserable this time of year. No matter how many times we grin and bear it, the inferno-like heat, choking humidity, pesky bugs, unreliable weather patterns, and other staples of a sunshine state summer can get just too much to bear. The perfect (if temporary) antidote? Popsicles. Orlando is home to many different “pop shops” featuring icy creations that range from the familiar to more […]
Over the past few months, I’ve become very familiar with Orlando’s airport (airport code: MCO) thanks to out-of-state medical appointments, college-related travelling, and various conferences and other events that have necessitated air travel. For the most part, I rely on snacks and meals packed at home to sustain me from point A to point B, but inevitably, I have learned more about the airport’s offerings thanks to delayed plains, browsing while waiting, and […]
