Orlando Dining

Last night after the show ended I headed back north on International Drive to my hotel to change and find a place for dinner. Walking back to the Courtyard Marriott from the trolley stop, I saw Tony Roma's. I hadn't been to a Tony Roma's in a couple of years so I decided to check it out for dinner. All of the restaurants are pretty packed along International Drive during a convention but I found a seat at the bar where I could order dinner.

I like eating at the bar because I usually travel alone and it feels a little awkward to sit in a restaurant at a table by yourself when there are groups of people all around you. So I sat at the bar and had the Original Ribs with coleslaw and green beans. with a Fosters. Very good food, and now I remember why I liked Tony Roma's in the past. I was sitting next to a guy who grew up in the same part of Los Angeles that I did. Small world...

Today was the long day at the show, 9:30 - 6:00PM. Once the exhibit was up and running I took the Trolley up to the Premium Outlet Mall to look around during lunch time. I found a cool knife sharpener in one of the kitchen stores that I will try when I get home. I noticed on Thanksgiving that my knives are getting dull.

Tonight was our team dinner so we all went over to a small development called Celebration. This is a very well kept little town where all of the houses look perfect and they are all decorated for the holidays right now. It's kind of Stepford Wife Like. The restaurant is called Cafe D'Antonio. Excellent Italian food! I had the Lobster Ravioli and a glass of Chianti. I will be back here for sure next time I am in Orlando.

Tomorrow is tear down starting at 3:00PM, I can't wait...
