Take Out in Orlando. Florida
PF Chang's
One look around tells you that the lettuce
wraps are the far-and-away favorite appetizer -- diners huddle over
the tables to dig into the do-it-yourself delicacy of subtly spiced
chicken wrapped in a sheath of crispy iceberg. Be sure to specify
the spiciness of the dipping sauce, prepared tableside by your server.
When it comes to the entrees, you're best off ordering a few to
share with your table (portions are large, so ordering one dish
less than the number of people present is a good rule to follow).
Offerings include all the favorites -- everything from honey chicken,
beef and broccoli and Cantonese roasted duck to lemon pepper shrimp,
Mu Shu pork, whole fried fish and salt and pepper prawns.
Cypriana Cafe
Blending the colorful exuberance with olympian
portions of food befitting Zeus, this family-run eatery delivers
the pinnacle of Greek cuisine in Orlando. From the savory souvlaki
to the delicious dolmodakia, the dishes here are superbly prepared
and as authentic as any estiatorio in Athens. Bright murals depicting
pastoral Mediterranean scenes create a warm, inviting ambiance in
the crowded dining area, and the easy-going waitstaff are pleasantly
helpful and have a thorough understanding of the dishes offered.
O-Boys
Real Smoked Bar-B-Q
No one does Florida barbecue better than this
Winter Park pit -- O-Boys Real Smoked Bar-B-Q specializes in pork
shoulders, eye rounds, ribs and chicken. Varnished wood tables and
hanging plants set the scene inside, but it's the brick courtyard
where most patrons opt to down their barbecue. The pork is by far
most popular, but the sampler platter -- liberal portions of beef,
pork, ribs and a quarter chicken -- will give you a gut Boss Hogg
would be proud of. Douse the chicken platter with some of O-Boys'
own hot sauce for the best meal on the menu.
