Kres Chophouse, Orlando

  A little pricey, but delicious and worth it.  We ate here before seeing Venus in Fur at Mad Cow Theatre.  It was a good production at a consistently good theatre … and I don’t just say that because the lead actress spends most of the play strutting...

Prius & Priceline: A Year in Review

Thai & Titus

No travel this weekend, for which the Big Bad Wolf is either grateful (that I’m home) or pissed (that she doesn’t get to play with Gary from Fetch!). On Saturday, I had lunch at Thai Cuisine with family.  We arrived a little before noon (when they opened), but...
