Sure, I’ll Have the Quail

January 13, 2011 by Julie 46 Comments

Tonight was a night I’ve been anticipating for more than a week!

When Gabriela reached out to me about getting together for dinner while she is vacationing in Orlando this week, I jumped at the chance to meet her and grab dinner with some of my favorite bloggers.

Since she is staying near the amusement parks, we all decided to meet at Season’s 52, one of my all-time favorite restaurants that is conveniently located about halfway between downtown Orlando and the Disney area. seasons 52 010My hot dates for the evening included Gabriela and Meghann…seasons 52 007 …and Megan and Katy! seasons 52 009It was a fun bunch!

We spent some time chatting before ordering our meals. I flip flopped back and forth over whether or not to order the quail. An unusual bird, but hey, I’m game! (<—Any one pick up on my pun? 😉 ) seasons 52 004 I’m glad I decided to order outside of the box tonight because this meal was delicious! The quail was served with mashed sweet potatoes and an assortment of green veggies. I practically licked my plate clean. This tends to happen when I visit Season’s 52… seasons 52 011After dinner, we headed to Menchie’s to meet up with Katy, Jeanette, Bess and Kiran for some frozen yogurt.

I ate a bit before snapping a picture, but my mix included red velvet, cake batter, cookies ‘n’ cream and tart frozen yogurt topped with whipped cream, strawberries, kiwi, Kit Kat pieces, cookie dough and mocha toffee bits.seasons 52 012Quite the hodge podge, but I enjoyed every bite! Special thanks to Katy for picking up the tab on my froyo. They only accepted cash and I’m a card-carrying kinda girl!

I bet I could eat Season’s 52 entrees and frozen yogurt for dessert every single night for the rest of my life and feel perfectly content. I was a happy camper as I drove home this evening!

Now I’m blogging in bed as Ryan and Sadie are sleeping beside me. They’re a cute lil’ duo. Time to join my little family and get some rest for FRIDAY tomorrow. Woo!

G’night, friends!

    Looks like so much fun! I do love quail. A place at home served it over mushroom risotto, so yummy. I’ll have to check out Seasons 52 next time I’m in Orlando.

    BTW, who did you ask to take the picture of all of you, do you just ask random people when you need a photo taken for the blog?

    If you look at your soft serve it looks like taco salad!
    strawberries- salsa
    kiwi- guacomole
    random black lookin kiwi: olive
    white fro yo- sour cream
    brown fro yo- refried beans

    Looks like so much fun!

    When I was in Orlando last weekend for the Disney 1/2 I was going to have a blogger- meet up at Seasons 52, but they didn’t have a time slot until SUPER late… no bueno for the girl who ran 13.1 miles starting at 5:30 in the morning. We went elsewhere… but next time I’m in Orlando, I will be going to Seasons 52! It looks DELICIOUS! 😀

    I ventured out and had quail at a French restaurant last month and loved it as well! It was served with a fruit chutney and I was really impressed, I’d love to try making it for a dinner party!

    I would love to come to Orlando to try this restaurant and meet all you beautiful ladies, looks like fun!!

    So this may be trivial, but how do you make the smiley faces? I remember back in the day I used them on AIM and I thought you had to push ctrl and/or some other button.

    I’m new to blogging – Thanks!

    This is the best I got right now – 🙂

    Sounds like a fabulous night. I love Seasons 52. I wish there was one a bit closer. All of their food is to die for, it’s no wonder that even something as different as quail was delicious.
