17.Nov.2009 Orlando Food and Wine Festival - Lazaroc

It seems if you leave Gainesville even for a weekend, you come back to a whole new mess of problems and decisions to make. With the Gator game taking place in South Carolina, many decided to avoid that messy situation all together and instead attend The Orlando Food and Wine Festival at Lake Eola Park.

The event featured 36 of Orlando’s finest restaurants and winery’s from across the country and globe. Anyone who was out there, or even outside this weekend will tell you how amazing the weather was. Throw in some national talent such as The Average White Band, Rico Monaca, and Warren Hill, you have yourself an event fit for any villain.

Primo took the event and was serving these delicious “Arancinis” among a range of other menu items. I didn’t see anything out there that wasn’t appetizing. Kobe dinner for $2 you couldn’t go wrong. Yeah there were plenty of 5 star resorts with their restaurants and chefs cooking up some of Orlando’s finest culinary art but the reality of the situation is that Tijuana Flats is a second home to many of us. They were serving up soft tacos and burritos and pouring wines practically for free in comparison to other restaurants. Looking forward to next years event, as well as anything else going on outside downtown Orlando with weather like this.
