Dear Kris, I live in Daytona (50 - 60 miles from Orlando) and eat there regularly. My recommendations: Amigo's (Mexican) - Altamonte Springs, Winter Park (and other locations) Clay Oven (Indian) - Longwood (Both will "heat" up your food upon request!) The Orlando Sentinel's recommendations are at: http://calendar.orlandosentinel.com/ (Click on dining, then "Foodie Awards") I'd like to hear of some other good restaurants and good places to get hot sauces, etc. Thanks, Myron at the beach PS I agree on Chili's, and Don Pablo's is not for me either!
