Sushi there trumps publix at a similar tariff and they have duplicate rolls with brown rice. I switch it up bcuz I like that also. Truth be told, I can eat sushi for breakfast. Sushi is my comfort food.

Now that is a great lunch.

The only one in that area that I know of is Cuba Libre. If you ever make it over towards Waterford Lakes, try Rice & Beans, they have a second location at The Loop in Kissimmee too.

Sushi is quite yummy for what it is. The one on semoran at lake Frederica seems to have the best on this side of town. Not bad calamari or seaweed salad either!?

Xoxo.

I am not a huge Italian fan but pannulos in winter park has some excellent food. They have some steak and seafood also. Excellent mussels in garlic sauce. The atmosphere is laid back but the menu has a fine dining feel.

Xoxo.

I haven't found s Forum quite like this one anywhere.

Ihave to say Texas de Brazil is hands down the best for quantity, quality, and atmosphere. It's a great place to fill the belly to the fullest and the bacon wrapped filet mignon is melt in your mouth delicious, just as a favorite girl on this board is named after a flower. Let's see a great meal, great intelligent conversation, move back to some adult fun what a great night. Dahlia Would you care to join me? She doesn't read this stuff here because there is alot of non sense being said except for the great places to eat.

Checkmate.

Been there a couple of times and it's ok, but I don't drink alcohol, I can't say anything about that.

Now what has surprised me is that NO one has mention charley's steakhouse (vito's chophouse is owned by them) they have a filet mignon known as the fabulous filet, at 70 bucks it's pricey but worth every buck! Also shula's at the swan and dolphin is pretty good. For brazilian steakhouse texas de brazil is great (again pricey) and pizza. Well pizza believe it or not can be found at the osceola mall. Schiano is authentic ny style. Now how about sushi and Chinese places?

Still open, and still a great place. I like Victorio's in Longwood as well.

I was wondering if anyone would like to talk pizza? I haven't found anything around Orlando that makes me eager to go back. I like all kinds of pizza. My preference is extra thin. Run that dough through the rollers a couple three extra times, just a tad bit more than average amount of sauce, a nice layer. Not to thick. Of mozzarella, add your toppings. Pepperoni, mushrooms, black olives and onions. Then put that sucker in the middle of the oven. I like my thin pies crispy.

Deep dish? I did live in the Chicago area for several years. Gino's East was my favorite. They have a corn meal crust. Fortunately for a pizza lover there are great mom and pop places all around the city and suburbs. For deep. Uncle Pete's in Downers Grove. Thin. Pappa Passero's in Westmont.

Dam it, now I am going to have to fly up there some time soon, LOL.

No doubt el Cuartito, just one block away from the monger mansion.

The pizza featured is called Fugazeta, which is a white pizza smothered in onion. Rico!!!!!

By the way, the churascaria I mentioned, the price is only about 35 bucks (not including booze).
