Celebration Food Truck Friday: September 14, 2012

Posted on September 20, 2012 | 2 Comments

Last Friday, Celebration, FL hosted its second Food Truck Friday. More trucks were added for this outing, and there was no shortage of people in attendance. The usual suspects had their long lines early, and we were excited to try food from a couple of trucks we didn’t get to experience at the first Food Truck Friday.

After walking by all the trucks and reading their menus, Matt and I decided from where we would be ordering. Matt saw two items he wanted to try from Big Wheel Provisions. For his main course, he ordered their  Marinated Roasted Tri-Tip Steak Sandwich. The sandwich is topped with slow roasted heirloom cherry tomatoes, grilled local leek, and local lettuces. For $11, Matt was impressed by the size of the sandwich. While a fair amount of greens were piled on top (he had to remove some), there were plenty of veggies underneath adorns thick slices of tri-tip.

Celebration’s First Food Truck Friday

Posted on August 13, 2012 | 2 Comments

Celebration, FL hosted its very first Food Truck Friday on August 10th, something I’ve been waiting for the town to do for quite some time! Several of Orlando’s trucks were in attendance, each bringing in the crowds, and with it, lines as well. We had our first taste of Orlando’s Food Trucks, Tree House Truck and Twisted Cuban, a couple months ago during Car Masters weekend at Downtown Disney, so we were long overdue to enjoy some new ones.

Lunch at Windmill Restaurant at Celebration Golf Club

Posted on July 9, 2012 | Leave a comment

While I have my favorite restaurants in downtown Celebration, I like to go off the beaten path and head over to Celebration Golf Club’s Windmill Restaurant. Matt & I had a fantastic breakfast there at the start of the year, and knew we needed to order lunch sometime. While relatively tame, the menu has a few options that are worth a second glance, such as the Pear and Brie Sandwich. It certainly took me a couple minutes to decide on what I wanted.

Ice Cream at Kilwins in Celebration

Posted on April 21, 2012 | 5 Comments

As many of you know, I’m not big on sweets. It’s safe to say that I make an honest effort to review them here. I’m by no means complaining – it’s good for me to step out of my comfort zone and really try new things. That being said, I LOVE Maple Walnut Ice Cream. It ran rampant when I lived up north. Turkey Hill sold it when I lived in Pennsylvania. It was my go-to flavor at Gifford’s Ice Cream Stand on Broadway in Maine (side note: my Mom had to explain to me what Jimmies were – outside of “from away” we call them sprinkles). I’d yet to see the flavor since moving to Florida from the DC area in 2007. That all changed when I walked into Kilwins in Celebration a few weeks ago. I was reading through the ice cream flavors, when there it was. My Holy Grail: Maple Walnut.

I ordered it in a Waffle Bowl, which was in turn, also served in a bowl. Pictured is a single scoop, which will set you back nearly $5. A bit pricey, but oh so worth it. The thing I like best about this variety of ice cream is that it’s not overly sweet, and also has that slightly bitter walnut taste. The maple helps balance that bitterness. It’s my favorite. I need to return and try some of their other flavors, but 5+ years without Maple Walnut requires a lot of time for which to make up.

So I need to ask, what is your favorite ice cream flavor and why? Is it a nostalgic one that is difficult to find, or a more readily available one that you can enjoy any time?
