    About this ebook

    There are many people who are enthusiastic about food—the preparation of it, the cooking of it, the serving of it, and let’s not forget—the eating of it.

    But Sebastian Bond is the ultimate Food Enthusiast.

    This is another of his books with spot-on reviews of the most exciting restaurants in town. Some will merit only a line or two, just to bring them to your attention. Others deserve a half page or more. 

    “Exciting” does not necessarily mean expensive. The area’s top spots get the recognition they so richly deserve (and that they so loudly demand), but there are plenty of “sensible alternatives” for those looking for good food handsomely prepared by cooks and chefs who really care what they “plate up” in the kitchen.

    For those with a touch of Guy Fieri, Bond ferrets out the best food for those on a budget. That dingy looking dive bar around the corner may serve up one of the juiciest burgers in town, perfect to wash down with a locally brewed craft beer.

    Whatever your predilection or taste, cuisine of choice or your budget, you may rely on Sebastian Bond not to disappoint.

    Bond dines anonymously at the Publisher’s expense. No restaurant listed in this series has paid a penny or given so much as a free meal to be included.

    Bon Appétit!

      INTRODUCTION

      ?

      Before Walt Disney (in the mid to late 1960s) started buying up huge tracts of land through a series of companies designed to disguise the real buyer, there wasn’t much reason to visit Orlando, known in those days only for its vast citrus growing enterprises.

      But those pesky cigarettes got to Walt, and he died of lung cancer in 1966.

      Though Uncle Walt never lived to see Disney World open in 1971, once it did, everything changed, as we all know. Orlando now attracts close to 50 million travelers a year. (About 4 million come from abroad.) Thus proving that Walt’s Folly was no folly at all.

      When we speak of Orlando, we mean Greater Orlando, of course, because the area is not known merely for Disney World. When other entertainment companies saw how successful and visionary Walt had been, they hopped on the bandwagon and started copycatting his vision. After all, if tens of millions of people were going to go to Orlando drawn by the Disney marketing machine, why not take advantage of that and open other theme parks to see how much business could be drawn away?

      I think it’s still the most visited city in the U.S., outdrawing New York and everywhere else.

      And to think they called this whole thing Walt’s Folly when he first embarked upon his grand plan.
