I hope my Central Florida Foodies are gearing up for the Orlando Food and Wine Fest this Saturday and Sunday around Lake Eola downtown. I will be attending on Sunday and can’t wait to sample all the delicious goodies from local restaurants and trying new wines. I will be tweeting updates from the event and some of the hits and misses, if you don’t already follow Fun Fearless Foodie on Twitter, click here: http://twitter.com/funfearlessfood
