Beyond The Parks: Best Dining In Orlando

When I think of Orlando, only four things come to mind: Disney World, The Orlando Magic, Tiger Woods, and now, of course, Harry Potter World. There's no question that Orlando is built on the deep-rooted American passion for Mickey Mouse, and tourists rarely venture beyond the parks for any other kind of amusement. But that is a disservice to yourself as a diner  — Orlando is no culinary wonderland, but like most places, if you know where to look, you can find something great to eat.  So if you get sick of the Epcot food, here are some great places that are worth eating at.
