Orlando, FlOridA
ORLANDO sits like a desert. In between the ever-present humidity and the concrete heat, there’s a foreboding feeling that lingers over the city. Orlando has, in years past, represented a sort of augmented reality. The City Beautiful has become the city ignored. The master entrée primed, prepped and prepackaged for the tourism industry. That’s all changed recently. A collection of homegrown chefs, creatives and culture-makers has seismically shifted the stigma of Orlando through food. A new breed of bars and restaurants have launched the city as a major player in the nation’s culinary and creative scene.
