“ELVIS SLIDERS” fit for a King to honor the 45 “ELVIS SLIDERS” fit for a King to honor the 45th anniversary of Elvis Presley’s death on 8/16/1977.  Have you watched @bazluhrmann @elvismovie yet?  I’ve seen it 3 times! The soundtrack is soooo good and Austin Buttler gave an amazing Oscar-worthy performance. 🎶 
Am I the only one that goes down the rabbit hole of YouTube search after watching a biopic? I’ve always been a fan of Elvis music but admit I didn’t know much about his truly tragic story. He had some problematic relationships with women but his career was a quintessential cautionary tale of what fame and mismanagement can do. So sad this legendary talent was gone too soon. What did you think of the movie?
Here’s what you need to make my Elvis Sliders:
🍞 King’s Hawaiian Butter Rolls
🥜 Crunchy Natural Peanut Butter
🍌 Caramelized Bananas
🥓 Thick-Cut Smoked Bacon
🍯 Bourbon Honey
🧈 Butter
You can learn more about the history of Elvis’ famous sandwich, my travel inspiration & the full recipe on GoEpicurista.com

Happy Monday! ☕️ Busy Busy Busy week ahead… Happy Monday! ☕️ Busy Busy Busy week ahead… so excited for new client work and my family coming to town. I will definitely be fueled by coffee! There’s so much going on in my life  that I often feel like I don’t know what’s what, but one thing is for sure, i’ll always find the best coffee shops. 🤣
Since my coffee outings lately have all been work related, it’s nice when you can soothe your soul in the process. 
☕️ The Dulce de Leche iced latte at @cfscoffee is heaven sent! 😇 (Think next level caramel latte) The CFS Winter Park location, tucked near Hannibal Square, is so cute and a great work and meeting spot. Their motto “Coffee For The Soul” is 💯 
Hope your week is a great one! Remember, there’s always coffee.

Iron Chef Masaharu Morimoto is in the house! 🙌🏼 I'm throwing it back to one of the most memorable bucket list dinners ever... MOMOKASE at @morimotoasiafla 
You can catch Chef Morimoto behind the sushi bar and mingling with guests during service on Sunday 8/14 and Monday 8/15. @chef_morimoto is such a cool guy to meet. I've been fortunate to interview him and see him in action! (which you can read all about on GoEpicurista.com)
I'm so happy to share the reason he's in town is to celebrate the promotions of Chef Yuhi Fujinaga to Culinary Director for all of Patina Restaurant Group’s Orlando concepts! Congrats Yuhi! @ironchef97 So we’ll deserved!! 🎉
Chef Takeshi Ikeuchi has been promoted from Executive Sous Chef to serve as the Executive Chef of Morimoto Asia. 🥂
I highly recommend booking Omakase at Morimoto Asia at @disneysprings . It's an amazing splurge-worthy experience available to book with 48-hour notice based on availability and hosted by the restaurant's chefs. When Chef Morimoto is in town, then it's an extra special treat!

Korean BBQ... but make it bougie! This course at @ Korean BBQ... but make it bougie! This course at @doshiorlando's elevated Korean-American experience had us all gasping with a near religious experience. LOL! 
🥩 14-day dry-aged wagyu filet, marinated in bulgogi spices 
🍄 Served table-side over a gorgeous plate of grilled, pickled, and raw mushrooms, pickled mustard seed, pickled cucumber, & smoked date puree 
🦴 Topped with a beef bones reduction stewed over 48 hours. 
🍚 On the side: Banchan of pickled Asian pear, pickled cucumber & pickled daikon radish  with pork belly kimchi fried rice
Doshi Orlando features two multi-course dinner options: 
⭐️ Option 1: 10-course at the Chef's Counter, $165pp
⭐️ Option 2: 6-course in the Dining Room, $85pp (which is what I experienced)
I loved the entire experience and the attentiveness of the staff and chefs. I need to return for the 10 course experience! 
Doshi is a wonderful addition to Orlando's culinary scene.

NEW Orlando Restaurant You Must Add To Your List! NEW Orlando Restaurant You Must Add To Your List! I managed to snag a reservation for @edoboysushi and loved every bite. Sushi fans, this place is for you! 
Here are the deets:
🍣 Orlando's first and only 8 person standing sushi bar
🍣 Menu: Nigiri + Hand Rolls + Miso Soup + Beer + Sake
🍣 Choose up to 12 pieces + soup (don't skip the soup!)
🍣 Pieces are prepared and served immediately, one at a time
🍣 Reservations are required. No Walk-Ins
🍣 1-hour standing dining experience. Wear comfy shoes!
🍣 Time slots drop every Monday at 12pm. They fill up fast!
🍣 Part of Sonny Nguyen's @domufl & @toritoripub dynasty! (Both Michelin Guide recognized and I predict Edoboy will be in the guide next year!)
Every bite was meticulously prepared. Some of the best sushi I've ever had. It was tough to choose a favorite but I would say ask for recommendations. Don’t miss the torched bites, especially the torched sweet shrimp topped with uni butter - MUST EAT- and the hand rolls! 
The Uni was the biggest surprise. I rarely order it but Chef Tyler said I had to try it and I'm glad I did. It reminded me of what Iron Chef Morimoto told me once, "if you think you don't like something, it's probably because you didn't like how it was prepared." This uni from Baja was an elegant bite that converted me to an uni fan.
Head Chef Tyler, previously from Tori Tori, worked on developing this menu for 2 years and it shows! It was great to watch him and Chef Francis work side by side.
Here's what I ordered:
🍣 Akami - (bluefin lean tuna)
🍣 Shima Aji (Japanese stripe jack)
🍣 Hotate (Maine scallop)
🍣 Aka Ebi (sweet red prawn)
🍣 Uni (sea urchin)
🍣 Hotate Kewpie (torched, Maine scallop, kewpie mayo)
🍣 Aburi Aka Ebi (torched, sweet red prawn, uni butter)
🍣 Sake - Kewpie (torched salmon, kewpie mayo)
🍣 Dynamite Hand Roll (spicy scallop, sweet red prawn, hamachi tartare)
🍣 Blue Crab Truffle Hand Roll (w truffle kewpie mayo, cucumber)
🍲 Miso Soup - made from the bones of the fish used that day, it was fan-tas-tic!

“I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Life moves pretty fast. You don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.” - Ferris Bueller
📕 Story Time - I rarely record myself but I was playing with the camera settings and IG after watching the most gorgeous sunset at @fsorlando and I saved this in drafts with no real intention of posting it. Today I came across this sound and realized how badly I needed this reminder and knew I had to post it. If you need the reminder too, I hope you go cross off something fun from your ‘someday list’ 💕

The sound I make when dessert arrives 😂 Imagine The sound I make when dessert arrives 😂 Imagine how the rest of the dinner was when this is the last course...STUNNING! 🍄 
I was invited to preview @doshiorlando, the new elevated Korean-American multi-course dining experience in Winter Park which is now on my list of Must Visit Splurge-Worthy Restaurants in Orlando
We ended the fun tasting evening with the FOREST FLOOR: dark chocolate, pine nuts, yuja meringue, & ganache. It was a full sensory experience, the smoke, the scent, every bite was a surprise of textures and flavors. The little magic meringue mushrooms were my favorite! 
Every course featured inspired dishes by an all-star team of chefs: Rikku Ó'Donnchü, Gene Kim, brothers Ray and Mike Gillette and I even spotted chef Hung Huynh of @bravotopchef in the open kitchen!🌟 You won't find another menu like this in Orlando!
A full review is coming but I couldn't resist sharing this right away so you can get reservations - which are required.

Have you been to @ettehotel? Orlando's newest boutique hotel is a must-visit! Their coffee service is divine, using Kimbo Espresso Italiano, topped with a gorgeous burnt gold-dusted logo.  I relished the thoughtful attention to detail throughout the property and the friendly service. It's the most stylish hotel in town.

It's #InternationalBeerDay but for me I'd rather d It's #InternationalBeerDay but for me I'd rather drink local! 🍻
Here’s a throwback to My Favorite Beer Experience This Year: Orange Blossom Brewing Sky Pie Pilsner paired with Nighttime Sky Pie at @se7enbites. 
This special collab was amazing! 
🍺 Easy drinking and the the flavors of the dessert that inspired it - vanilla bean, bourbon, bacon and chocolate - shine through beautifully.
🥧 The Nighttime Sky Pie is a MUST EAT! Featured on @FoodNetwork Guy Fieri's Diners, Drive Ins & Dives, made with scratch-made graham crackers, sandwiching a layer of hand-whipped vanilla Bourbon bacon marshmallow and finished with a dip in 70% chocolate.
If you're visiting Se7en Bites for brunch, don't miss pairing Chef Trina's decadent dishes. The 7th Trimester is the bomb paired with a beer-mosa made with the OG @obpbuzz Orange Blossom Pilsner.
Cheers & Happy Friday!

Let's close "National Culinary Arts Month" with a Let's close "National Culinary Arts Month" with a little recap of the biggest event of the year for Florida's and Orlando's culinary scene: The Inaugural @MichelinGuide 2022 Florida Edition Announcements! 
As a local foodie who's been writing about Orlando's culinary scene for the past 10 years - and has been saying over and over again that Orlando IS a culinary destination - it was a thrill to be in attendance and see our local chefs receive well-deserved recognition. 
It's no surprise the food and cocktails at this reception were impressive! @ritzcarltonorlando and the various invited chefs did amazing! Passed hors d'oeuvres with linen cocktail napkins included my favorite savory goat cheese macarons, lobster topped with caviar, filet topped with caviar, in fact even caviar on top of caviar! It was swanky! A lovely Gin Tonic Bar by @nordesgin and a @remymartinus tasting table were my favorite sips of the night. 
But enough about the food, let's talk about the culinary legends honored!
