Denny's in Sanford, FL

I ate at the Denny's on Rt 46 in Sanford, right off of I-4. I've been to this Denny's on a few occasions, mostly late at night when everything else in the area is closed. The service here is typically always bad, as it is in most Denny's. There's also always interesting people in here as well. For example, imagine you're eating dinner and a homeless man enters the restaurant, specifically targets your table, approaches, and starts mumbling incomprehensible babble until an employee escorts him out. Ten minutes later, you're being mumbled at again...

On this visit, I didn't get mumbled at. We were ignored by all of the other people in the Denny's, including the waitress for the most part. When our order was finally taken, I ordered the Southwestern Sizzlin' Skillet. I think they were trying to make a breakfast version of a fajita, and came up with this. After too long of a wait, the food was served. The skillet consisted of scrambled eggs, hash browns, green peppers, onions, bacon, and sausage. It didn't come sizzling like the name implied. Unlike actual fajitas, this skillet was cool enough to touch comfortably. When I had finished about 75% of the food, the waitress brought out some tortillas to go with my food that was almost gone. Typical Denny's service...

Toojay's Western Skillet

I ate at the Toojays in Altamonte Springs, FL for breakfast. I ordered a Western Skillet, which consisted of potato pancakes topped with scrambled eggs, tomatoes, and scallions. The Western Skillet normally comes with ham, but I wasn't in a porky mood that day. From how this dish was described on the menu, I was expecting a lot more potato pancake and less egg. Regardless, I ate it all and enjoyed it.

The Western Skillet also came with two slices of Toojay's wonderful rye toast. Even when compared to more authentic Jewish Deli style restaurants, Toojay's definitely makes the best rye bread that I've tasted in the area.

Sizzling Chicken & Shrimp from TGI Fridays

I ate at the T.G.I. Friday's on 192 in Kissimmee, FL. I ordered something called Sizzling Chicken and Shrimp. It sounded something like the meat part of a fajita and involved chicken and shrimp served on a sizzling plate with peppers and onions, all topped with cheese and served with mashed potatoes. The food took a while, but when it eventually was served I was kind disappointed. Compared to the picture on the menu, the dish looked thrown together and skimpy looking. The main offense about the this meal was the lack of sizzling. With sizzling in the name of the dish, I was expecting the skillet that the meal was served in to at least be hot, but I could touch the plate with my hand without it being too hot. I'm guessing the food sat there a while before it was actually served. Besides from the look and the lack of sizzle, it did taste pretty good.
