Local Celebrity Chefs

While world-famous celebrity chefs capture headlines, Orlando has a bevy
of homegrown culinary geniuses who are ready to dazzle you with their
skills and knowledge.
For example, Kathleen Blake, of downtown Orlando's The Rusty Spoon,
and Brandon McGlamery, of Winter Park's Luma on Park and Prato, and
Maitland's Luke's Kitchen, were semifinalists in the James Beard
Foundation's "Best Chefs in the South" category for 2017. Similarly, fellow
James Beard Award nominees James and Julie Petrakis are the
masterminds behind Winter Park's The Ravenous Pig and Polite Pig
at Disney Springs restaurants.
Norman Van Aken - the only Floridian on the prestigious James Beard list
of "Who's Who in American Food and Beverage" - has two local eateries,
including Mount Dora's 1921 by Norman Van Aken.

TASTE THE FRESHNESS

The farm-to-table movement is ingrained in Orlando's food culture. In
College Park near downtown Orlando, Chef Kevin Fonzo of K Restaurant
has been a leader in that regard, growing ingredients in his eatery's
backyard garden.

Chef Rick Bayless
Frontera Cocina at Disney Springs

In Orlando's tourism district, restaurants at The Ritz-Carlton and
JW Marriott benefit from a 650-square-meter farm. You can taste
the results at The Ritz-Carlton's Highball & Harvest. Additionally,
JW Marriott's Primo by Melissa Kelly restaurant maintains its own
organic garden.

DELICIOUS DIVERSITY

When you're in Orlando, you have convenient access to all the cuisines
of the world. Hungry for Asian? Find authentic Vietnamese and Korean
cuisine, plus sushi and amazing Asian fusions, in Orlando's Mills 50
district. Italian? Russian? Greek? Spanish? Ethiopian? Caribbean? These
and every flavor of the world are here and waiting for you to grab a seat
at the table.
