re: TulaneLSU's Top 10 meals on a trip to Orlando

3. Croissant jambon fromage



The French have mastered the dessert and the sandwich. Almost as difficult as choosing my sweet is choosing which sandwich to get. So I settled on the cheapest. At just $5, this ham and cheese filled croissant may be the best bang for the buck in all of Disney. It has a delicious bechamel sauce which serves as a tasty lubricant for the esophagus. I downed it in under a minute.
My one regret with this sandwich was that I chose to get it toasted. In retrospect, just like a muffuletta, a good French sandwich is best served cold.




2. Fish and chips



The British are well behind the curve in European culinary skills. One thing at which they are great, though, is fish and chips. Beside the Rose & Crown, which also serves the same fish and chips, but at a higher price, is a little shed with an efficient staff. Though lines can sometimes be quite long, this night there were no lines and I was happy to tear into some of the best fish and chips in some time. At just $11 it is another great bargain.





I lather my fish and French fries in vinegar. Whilst a waste of plastic, I used five packages of the vinegar to give the fish that nice acidic bite. I cannot imagine eating fish and chips without vinegar, but people do. Though they sell hot chocolate, it was not cold enough for me.




1.Pizza Bruno





Located not far from downtown Orlando is Bruno’s the city’s best pizza. My friend, a fellow alumnus of Delgado who now works for Disney, recommended this restaurant. Upon entering I could tell that the pizzaiola knew what he was doing. His woodfired oven was a thing of beauty. When he saw me taking a picture of his oven, he nodded deferentially, as though he recognized a respecter of pizzaiolos, and I am. He threw a dough up in the air, like a basketball player dribbles through his legs, to show me he was an artist true to his craft. I nodded back. I asked if he was the owner. He was not, but he did tell me the owner sanded his pizza peel as a teenager in a pizzeria on the Jersey shore. To me, that is a good pedigree.









A single Neapolitan pizza is rarely enough for me, so I got two: a classic Margherita and the Crimson Ghost, a delicious pizza of fresh mozz, spicy honey, and soppressata. Both pizzas were excellent, but I thought the Margherita was particularly excellent. I am still debating on whether Bruno’s should make TulaneLSU’s Top 40 pizzas in the United States of America. This debate shall continue.

Faith, Hope, and Love,
