Earlier this week, a friend and I went for lunch at a fairly new restaurant in town called
Pig Floyd's. We wanted to check out the menu and see what the hype was all about. We sat down and were chit chatting when the owner
stopped by offering us Cuban-style tacos he had just created in the
kitchen. Have you ever seen tacos with black
beans, rice, pulled pork, plantains and a fancy avocado sauce? They were
amazing!! He said he's thinking of calling them The Fidel. (aka Fidel Castro = perfect name based on the ingredients)
We chatted with him a bit and convinced him these tacos needed to be on the
menu asap. Not before long, he was back with with a plate of BBQ ribs for us to taste test. Amazing once again! We had such a great time on our lunch
break away from work. Thanks cool dude who is the owner of Pig Floyd's for making our
experience so enjoyable. We'll be back to try more of your menu options. P.S.
sorry I thought you were Canadian when in fact your accent is that of
Puerto Rico. #blondemoment
Lucky for him, he was sharing his creations and chats with a blogger and had no clue I would share my experience online. The Big Floyd sandwich is amazing btw! Tough to finish as the menu says but worth a shot.
So about my blog direction...
I've been thinking for a while now about where I want to take my blog and different avenues I want to explore. Experiences like this at Pig Floyd's solidify what I've actually been leaning towards the whole time. Outside of blogging, I love to write restaurant reviews on Yelp & UrbanSpoon as well as reviews for retail websites and stores.
I want to create a section specific to Orlando or at least Florida life in general. I love the city in which I live. There's lots to do and I want to be able to share that on my blog. It's part of my lifestyle and what I enjoy. While I know most of my readers and blog friends don't live in the Orlando area, it is a popular vacation spot and I think my reviews will eventually be helpful to both locals and visitors looking for recommendations for different types of restaurants, entertainment, shows, festivals and so on. This won't be the focus of my blog but I plan to do a review here and there based on my experiences and what I think is worth mentioning.
I travel quite a bit and I already have a section for that where I can do my travel recaps and restaurant reviews. I think it's time to create a section for the city I live in and love ~ Orlando.
What do you think?
