Gainesville Burrito Brothers


As former Gators we had a yearning for some old school cheap Mexican food. We found it in a new location - thank god!

Creepy Pregnant Frog


Not much to say here. It is in my parent's atrium and is very loud. They also seem to be reproducing. Frog lovin'

Tyson Vending is Awesome!


The moral of the story is that when you see a chicken vending machine, run to it!

Grilled Cheese from a Vending Machine


It is possible and is the most magical experience ever. Something so artificial has never been so good.

Tyson Vending - Now We're Getting Cocky


This button looks too good to be true. We have been taking lots of pictures and they just made an announcement for security. I am ready to bolt!

Tyson Vending - 2 for 2


I was worried about the main course but it was a spicy baked chicken strip meal that actually tasted like it was near an actual chicken. Score!

Tyson Vending - We Want More!


With our good luck, we decided to go for the big one - chicken!

Tyson French Fries - 1 for 1


The first entree was very good. Crispy, hot, and flavorful. My compliments to the computer vending robot chef. This is the future technology EPCOT was talking about.

Vending Anticipation!


This screen is great for giving me a countdown to yummy.

Tyson Vending - How It Works


Amazingly, it is using an oven to heat various frozen items. They guarantee it is hot and crispy but I have doubts. As an experiment, I will risk $1.50 for some french fries - I am in a hospital after all.

Winter Park Hospital's Tyson Vending Machine


In the midst of horrible hospital food we found this oasis. We weren't that hungry but we had to see what this magical machine could do.

Hospital Tender-roni


My dad's meals in the hospital leave something to be desired. The description on the order said "tender" and I think that by the look of the texture, it looks like the steak still has tire marks.

Limena Chicken - The Main Event


We shared a whole chicken and the spices in the rotisserie made it much better than even Costco chicken - a high honor!

Limena Chicken Homemade Sauces


The chef brought us some sauces she invented. The first one is a sweet mayo and the second one is a spicy sauce. They are meant for the chicken but stand up well on their own.

Limena Chicken Appetizer 2


Choclo Peruano con Queso is the same corn as the starter but on the cob. It is served with a fresh feta cheese and goes well with it.

Limena Chicken Appetizer 1


Yuca a la Huancaina is a half dozen fried yuca pieces with a cheese sauce. Just to add another level of heart clogging goodness, they throw a hard boiled egg on top.

Limena Chicken Starter


The large pieces of salted corn kernels were like a combination of nuts and popcorn. Very good texture and taste.

Limena Chicken


This unassuming Peruvian chicken restaurant may be located next to a mattress store but is a nice gem in Winter Park, Florida.

Pepper on the Road


He is doing OK for an 8 hour car trip. So far, so good!

Delta Morons


We arrived "early" and cannot pull into the gate on the left for 15 minutes. Notice the empty gate on the right side of the picture. Nice job Delta! They blamed it on yesterday's storms? May as well blame it on the breakup of musical sensation Menudo. At least that makes more sense.
