Two Winter Park ways to celebrate a fancy 4th of July deliciously

Sorry, we know it’s last-minute, but we just got the info ourselves. Two of Winter Park’s most popular, undeniably somewhat fancy, restaurants are celebrating Independence Day with tasty specials.

First up, the Glass Knife: They’ll celebrate the holiday Wednesday, July 4, with a special edition red, white and blue doughnut. Your 4th of July party just found a dessert that doesn’t include Jell-O.

Next, the Ravenous Pig: They’ll be closed for dinner, but during the day, they’re throwing a 4th of July backyard bash from 11:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. The a la carte menu is below and it is a doozy – maybe you should reconsider that grill and just let the pros take over. Pricing ranges from $12-$18 for appetizers, $17-$22 for main course and sides are $8.

Chef created an All-American menu with all the backyard-bbq favorites. Reserve a table with friends, sit at the bar or walk in for Taproom seating – the Summer Picnic menu will be offered at every seat!
