It would be a shame to call yourself an Orlando local if you haven’t tried these homegrown delicacies.  Here are a  few regional dishes every Orlandoan should’ve eaten by now.

Beverly Hillbilly at Se7en Bites 207 N. Primrose Drive, 407-203-0727 Se7en Bites is a sweet and savory bake shop. This meal definitely sits on the savory side with eggs, bacon risotto, root beer braised short rib, hollandaise on a parmesan biscuit. Photo via se7enbites/Facebook

The rotisserie chicken from Pig Floyds 1326 N. Mills Ave., 407-203-0866 There are only a few rotisserie chickens smoked each day. They sell out fast, so plan ahead because it’s like nothing you have ever tasted. Photo via otownbites/Instagram
Chicken Tender Publix Sub Publix locations Not quite a strictly Orlando dish, but a local favorite regardless. No one can quite put their finger on why a pub sub is so much better than other any other subs, but they just are. Any sub with Boar’s Head deli meat is good, but the chicken tender sub is heavenly.

“Summer ’92” pie at Pizza Bruno 3990 Curry Ford Road, 407-906-8547 Pizza Bruno is the newest kid on the block, but it’s worth having on this list because it’s sooo damn good. This spin takes a unique spin on a pizza joint with vegan sauce and dough. The summer ’92 pie is a solid choice but it nearly ties with blanca, which is far from the typical bland white pizza.
