In this week’s Orlando dining news round-up: new openings, closings, and more. Are you hungry? Let’s dive in…
The Florida Local Food Summit takes place September 9 at East End Market in Orlando. The event will be an educational gathering of local food producers, advocates, and community members, tailored to advance the knowledge of what we can do and be as a local food system.
Rock & Brews Restaurants are partnering with Rock and Roll Fantasy Camp, giving guests a chance to win an opportunity to jam with rock icon and Rock & Brews co-founder Paul Stanley, and Don Felder, a former lead guitarist of The Eagles.
The winner will also get to perform on stage with Stanley at the legendary Whisky a Go Go in West Hollywood, in celebration of the camp’s 20th anniversary.
Earlier this month, I attended the grand opening media event for the new Rock & Brews Oviedo. Founded by Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley of KISS, the eatery is the first Florida location for the chain.
The event started with Simmons and Stanley leading the Pledge of Allegiance with several veterans by their side, then a ribbon cutting to officially open the restaurant.
KISS front men Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons have announced they will host the grand opening of their Rock & Brews Oviedo restaurant on January 6, with proceeds going to charity.
The grand opening festivities will consist of a midday luncheon for more than 100 wounded warriors, veterans and active duty military personnel, as well as a public meet & greet event with Simmons & Stanley from 2-4pm.
Tickets to the meet & greet are $200 per person and include two adult beverages per person or unlimited soft drinks, a sampling of Rock & Brews cuisine, and a photo opportunity with Stanley and Simmons. A percentage of proceeds, not less than $10,000, will benefit the Orlando VA Medical Center’s new Fisher House in Lake Nona.
