TBH most Beers sold in bars here are American, Indian, Dutch, German and Belgian even Brazillian. Brits dont make stuff they just buy from everyone else. The Indian Curry is our national dish.

I was being a smartass because most Europeans I've met can't stand our national beers. Local microbrews are always the way to go. I'm not familiar with Florida but at most bars the bartender will let you try samples until you figure out what you like.

I first went to Orlando in 2007 and we went to Miami for a couple nights, the weirdest thing was there was a Chinese restaurant by the Holiday inn we were at.

The thing was it wasn't really a Chinese it was run by Hasidic Jews with the hats and curly hair and Hebrew Music. Was a strange experience food was nice, staff were friendly but definitely a culture clash.

You guys are killing me about Little Caesars those Deep dish Pizza's look amazing.

youll be sorely disappointed with LC deep dish

just yelp chicago style deep dish pizza around where you are at and go to a local place with fresh ingredients. theyre common.

New York style seems more common right now but what you seem to be after is chicago style

That's cool, I wasn't saying I would only eat fast food but will be having some. But will be going for more expansive evening meals. So Mexican, Cuban and Chinese,Seafood will all be on the menu.

My main point was there are lots of places like Sonic, Popeyes, DQ, LC not in UK so was just after any recommendations which some have supplied.

There's a ton of restaurants in Orlando to choose from. I would stick with the Cuban food around there. When I lived in Orlando, the Mexican places were more like mixtures of Spanish cuisines so there weren't a lot of authentic Mexican restaurants there. Uno Pizzeria is a good place for deep dish pizza in that area and Delmonico's is a great place for Italian food. Btw, BBQ is terrible here (in Florida) so don't bother.

Ooh. That's one of my favorites. I like Thai curry better, but that will do! Is that what all the takeouts are over there?

There's nothing better than a night out drinking, then hitting a greasy spoon for eggs over easy, crispy bacon and hash browns.

Oh, and a beer. :D

**** YEAH!!! At least I know where to find them.

We have a Moe's in town. It's bland as **** compared to QDoba in my eyes.

I second this....go local and if you like lighter beer try a wheat or lager or pale...

if you like more heaver ales , then just ask the bartender what they have thats local....

if you have to do a national brand....do like Samuel Adams boston lager, sierra nevada pale ....or lagunitas if you can find it.

dont get bud over here because its the same logic....you can get bud anywhere. get something truly american..Bud isnt even an american company any longer.

local micro or like sam adams/sierra/ etc ftmfw if you must

Indian Curry is THE National Take out/Eat in dish in England. Cobra and King Fisher are nice Beers designed to have with a Curry

South Beach is fun because they'll often have their offerings (nightly specials) plated up - for aesthetics. Generally a Host will have them outside, on the walkway and describe them to you as they work their way around the plate. TONS of solid cuisine there in SB. Good luck matey!

Boulevard and Schlafly are both tough to beat and originate local to MO [KC and StL respectively].
