- You can’t possibly have many more social appointments on your 2018 calendar, so it’s time to start filling in dates for 2019. Pencil in March 2 for Chef’s Gala, the fundraiser for Heart of Florida United Way. On second thought, go ahead and write it in stone.
- Winter Park Wine & Dine will be March 20 at the Winter Park Farmers Market.
- California Tortilla, the yawner of a restaurant on Church Street is closed. They apparently just stopped opening up one day, so the landlord put a sign on the door saying the business was in breach of its contract and demanding that it reopen right away. To which I say, “Shhhhhhhhh.”
- Beth’s Burger Bar has closed its original downtown location on Washington Street. Still open in Edgewood and Lake Cay, and opening soon at the Orange County Convention Center.
- Four Seasons Resort Orlando at Walt Disney World Resort has resorted to offering guests in some rooms dispensers that will serve a glass of wine on demand. The system, available in “select room categories,” has two bottles that will keep wine for up to 90-days, so it says here in the press release. Also says it is offered so that guests won’t have to wait for room service when they want a glass of wine. To which I say, if I’m in the Presidential Suite I don’t expect to wait a long time for room service to uncork my wine.
- K Restaurant in Winter Park is now offering lunch but by delivery only through Uber Eats. I wonder if you can sit on K’s porch and have Uber bring your lunch to you?
- Locally grown Huey Magoo’s Chicken Tenders has promoted Michael Sutter to chief operating officer, or COO. And that reminds me that I completely forgot to watch Mr. Magoo’s Christmas Carol this year.
