I was actually kinda surprised to see people in t-shirts and shorts in the dining room...when you're a place like Morton's in an economy like this I guess they don't have much of a choice?
Anyone who gets their steaks above medium is wasting good meat.
loyal customers most likely.. they're making sure those waiters stay over six figures.
At Bern's they make the servers work on their farm for like a years first.

i ate at a really nice steakhouse when i was in orlando, fl actually... the interior design and dining experience so forced and tacky, though.
cant remember the name. was right off the main strip.

Son of a bitch. I want some fucking steak right now.
I guarantee you I can find you something non-tacky around here.
It could be any of a number of strips
church street <-- probably
Downtown Disney?

All I remember from when I was on it was there was some kind of car racing themed restaurant. That's all I remember. It was 2004 the last time I was on it.Kmarion wrote:

sorry, got to keep the american road nomenclature in mind... it was off the main freeway, pretty big place. down in the direction of the disney world exit-ramp if i remember rightly. im sure you can find somewhere non-tacky, kmar . makes me laugh though, on that note i remember a 1950's-themed diner i went in when i was in orlando as well, that place was so crazy and novel. makes me miss america, actually!
btw downtown disney is the shizzle-bizzle. especially the clubs there. oh my megalulz.

My server was fucking hot (if you're ever at the Boca location ask for Gianna lol) so I guess that probably helped her too.Kmarion wrote:

Dude.. that's fuckin orlando. .. and the tourist eat that shit up (a lot of them European). But yea the food is good. I took my nephews to the T-Rex cafe in December. They liked it.Uzique wrote:

I had a feeling it was international something but I couldn't remember what. That brought it back.Uzique wrote:

And while I wasn't talking about the JR's on International, I've eaten there too. My mom, my brother and I stopped there when we were driving down from NY.
Small fucking world indeed though.. I'm still trying to think of that racing place I saw.
yeah i went to tampa (although also for predictably tourist reasons - busch gardens) and it had a different vibe to it. orlando definitely is a tourist paradise and everything is so perfectly crafted to suit that exact industry. i love it though, it makes a trip to somewhere like disney world seem all the more fantastical when even the accommodation, local area and local people seem to be infused with the same novelty and character. really can't fault the place. i know it's not 'typical' america, by a long-shot, but it definitely has a warmth and joviality to it that i would call uniquely american.

How does one smoke butane? It's lighter gas... I was flicking a lighter.burnzz wrote:

Believe it or not we natives get that vibe when we visit those novelty type places too. Even if we are only 45 minutes away. It's a nice and easy get away.Uzique wrote:
