Is waiting an hour for Gunther’s at Bryant Park’s Winter Village worth it? Yes, yes it is. I’m a Florida girl through and through so I wouldn’t wait longer than an hour in the cold, but this soup and grilled cheese bites truly warmed my soul.

Spooky season doesn’t end in Seminole County šŸ‘»šŸŗ The Haunted Brewery Tour in Historic Downtown Sanford runs year-round and every tour feels a little different thanks to rotating beers and BJCP Certified Beer Judge Gary Holmes’ endless stories. We started at Sanford Community Brewhouse, then made stops at @deviantwolfe and @deesbrosbrew each stop having its own haunted history and of course, amazing local pours.

The tour is every Saturday night at 8:30 PM starting from the @communitybrewhouse and costs about $35. It includes three beer samples and plenty of chilling stories. Visit the @sanfordtoursexperiences website to book now! 

If you love craft beer and a good ghost story, this tour is a must!

The Passion Fruit Oaxacan Margarita was so good with a little mezcal spritz and the Rustic Pinto Beans were fresh and flavorful. We were very impressed with how fresh the Margs since they squeeze the limes right at the bar! 

I do have a secret to confess, I ordered a second order of esquites to take home. They were THAT good. I also couldn’t get over the crispy rice so overall, everything was delicious!

If you’re looking for a new spot for brunch, lun If you’re looking for a new spot for brunch, lunch or dinner, I would highly recommend checking out Winter Park’s newest restaurant, @cornerchophouse. 🌟

This is the perfect for a date, girls day, or family spot. There’s something for everyone on the menu and every single thing we had was cooked to perfection. 

I was highly impressed by the staff and how personable and attentive they were. We can’t wait to go back!
