These are the chiles I spoke of. Best way to eat them is roast, peel remove seeds stuff with cheese, fry with a flour and egg coating (green one's only) Chile Rellenos. Or as a green chile stew in varying forms, or a green sauce for enchiladas, eggs etc. The red are best dried and made into a powder for a chile sauce for enchiladas, Tamales, carne adovada etc.
They are about 7-8 inches long, range in heat from mild (me) to Xtra hot (you), they are very meaty but definitely need the skin off and the seeds out.
They are so famous that they have a patent on them.
Guess Tom is a year younger than my sis. Threw me off with the 22nd birthday in 1982.
I've been to Morimoto and loved it. I am thinking I'll take Davy to the Boathouse at Christmas. If you go there, let me know how it is! Also, Jock Lindsays Hangar Bar is from Indiana Jones -- you may have known that. And, I need Tom's private email so I can tell him about a certain area he needs to see there...
Can’t wait! How many more days?
I have tried all 3 of the restaurants on your list! I have to say for me personally Morimoto and The Boathouse were my favorite with Homecomin a close second. We had appetizers at Homecomin, a whole lot of biscuits. Andi really loves spicy like you and she didn’t think the thigh high chicken biscuits were very spicy. I thought they were very good and I could taste a little spice, although, I am a wimp!
I know you can often walk up to all 3 at lunch without a reservation and get in without a significant wait.
After looking at your post, I want Nachos for breakfast
After catching up on the last 3 pages, I'm suddenly starving. Lol.
Homecomin' is on our list to try in November. But now all this talk of sitting at the bar has sparked my interest. It would be super fun to hit the bar area at a few places and try an appetizer and drink at each!
We missed Cowfish out in December as it`s somewhere that wouldn't be Kyle`s first choice to eat....he doesn't eat sushi (trying to convert him) and burgers aren't high on his list of food he enjoys.....but we do like this place a lot...….
Yep, food pictures will do that!!!
We love bar hopping......we had a mini bar crawl last Mardi Gras...….but the rain came on and parade was cancelled....so we couldn't finish it and we just headed back to the hotel......to the bar......lol...…
Fun way to spend an evening...….
Just to add to this, at Homecoming they put hot sauce on the table that you can add to just about everything. We put it on the chicken and it is delicious. Also last year we got a moonshine flight that came with a pickle shot which was pickle juice and hot sauce, so you can get your fix that way also..I`m still keen on Homecomin' but hearing it`s not spicy enough for Andi is giving me doubt......I love spicy....very spicy,
I have to know now. In your opinion, which is the best bar for drinks/food?
Burgers aren't high on his list of foods!!!! My dream job would be to go around doing a food vlog of just burgers and fries I could eat a hamburger once a day and NOT get sick of them!!!!!! I love a good burger or sandwich. It's just too bad that bread doesn't really agree with my tummy the last little while...and I do indulge in once in a while, I just feel sooo yucky after eating it.
The daughter and I ate at Homecomin when we were in Florida. We both loved it. It was very good. We had one night ( our arrival day ) to explore there, and we picked there to eat that night. We were not disappointed. I'm sure out of the three, you would enjoy any of the meals.
Joining! We’ll be at Universal right after you, 4/3-4/6, with my parents for their first time.
Thanks for the summary of your Universal restaurant choices! I agree, we are staying at PBR and the food choices don’t thrill me as we’ve stayed there before. One night I might have my parents take the girls out and DH and I will go to The Palm or Orchids...
I’d recommend The Boathouse 100%. All four of us loved it and my DH grew up working in his uncles seafood restaurant just outside of Boston so he’s got insanely high standards for seafood! And like you, I do enjoy a good Chardonnay

I have so much to catch up on- This looks like a fabulous trip!
I'll offer my unsolicited opinions on Disney Springs- I have been to all of the ones on your list and the BoatHouse was my favorite. They have outdoor seating on the water, which is lovely, and the food in my humble opinion was really great.
Wolfgang Puck's is new and we had a great Meal in December- I would recommend that.
Also there is a new one opening Jaleo, it was supposed to open last month- Im not sure what the delay is. But I really want to try it. In the off chance that you follow American Politics, the Chef that runs the restaurant is Chef Jose Andres. He was the chef that was down in Puerto Rico preparing food after the hurricane, and also this past January when our government shut down, he opened his Washington DC restaurant offering free meals for government employees. I enjoy Spanish Tapas so Im excited to try it (if it ever opens!)
I could talk about food all day- even if it makes me hungry...
Cant wait to hear more about your upcoming trip!
