Chef Bruno Fonseca, a Brazilian native who has called Orlando home for nearly three decades, is redefining the city’s culinary landscape. Born in Rio de Janeiro and raised in a vibrant, multicultural household with Brazilian, Portuguese, Spanish, and Italian roots, Fonseca’s love for cooking was inspired early on by his family’s nightly dinners and formative experiences in fine dining.
Chef Fonseca honed his craft in renowned kitchens including Norman’s and Bern’s Steak House, later returning to Le Cordon Bleu as an instructor. However, it was his bold, personal concept—The Foreigner Experience—that truly set him apart. This pop-up dinner series embraced a “menu-confiance” philosophy, meaning guests placed their trust entirely in the chef’s vision, enjoying meticulously crafted tasting menus without a fixed script.
The experience’s success inspired Fonseca to open Foreigner Restaurant in Audubon Park in 2023, a permanent home for his innovative, multi-course, chef’s-table format. The restaurant showcases “American food through the eyes of a foreigner,” highlighting seasonal produce, local seafood, and artistic plating, all served in an intimate, open-kitchen space where guests can watch the culinary story unfold.
Signature touches include rotating dishes such as oysters with caviar, black-sourdough bread with umami-packed black butter, hay-smoked duck, and lamb two way—each beautifully paired with wines selected by Brett Ware, their in?house sommelier from French Champagne to Portuguese Madeira—creating a globally inspired culinary journey.
Alongside Foreigner, Fonseca launched Bruno’s Oysters, a casual oyster bar nestled in Winter Garden’s Plant Street Market. The contrast is intentional: no reservations, no pretense—just simple, high-quality seafood and a relaxed atmosphere that echoes his deep respect for fresh ingredients and genuine connections. We interviewed Chef Fonseca about his background and Foreigner Restaurant via e-mail – read on!
Tell us about your background and experience highlights.
I am originally from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, but I am proud to say that my family and I have been residents in the central Florida area for a very long time. Through much hard work, luck and discipline I have been cooking for over 20 years under/with/for some incredible individuals. People like Norman Van Aken, Clay Miller, Master Chef Jack Shoope, Master Chef Klaus Friederich, to name a few.
Tell us what inspired you to become a chef?
The process of nourish, taking care of others, and the development of foods as a component onto something entirely different as a final product, coupled with a mission and creativity. Also at an early age, my family and I would go to restaurants often as celebratory and honestly experimental moments.
For those who have never been before, how would you describe the Foreigner Experience to them. Tell us about the name.
The inspiration to do this is to offer a better product to the public on a multi course format, and tell the story of food through a foreigner’s perspective on food, let it be the food that I grew up eating in my house (multicultural house-Brazilian food, Portuguese, Italian etc…), the food that I encountered when I moved to the US, and the food that I grew up cooking in the different kitchens here in the US. It is not fusion as different dishes have one underlying direction.

Orlando’s culinary scene continues to evolve beyond theme park fare, showcasing bold flavors, deep cultural roots, and serious kitchen talent. But even with the Michelin Guide’s growing presence in Florida, some standout local gems still haven’t received their flowers — no Star, Bib Gourmand, or even a Recommendation. Here’s a look at some of the city’s most talked-about dining experiences that remain noticeably absent from the Michelin map.

Elegant, polished, and theatrically indulgent, Bull & Bear is where classic steakhouse luxury meets tableside showmanship.

Recognition or not, these restaurants have earned loyal followings by doing what Michelin should reward: cooking with heart, precision, and purpose. Maybe next year the stars will align.

Join us for an exclusive conversation with Chef Jens Dahlmann, one of the culinary visionaries behind Universal Orlando Resort’s innovative dining experiences. With a remarkable career spanning Düsseldorf’s kitchens, ultra-luxury cruise lines, New York’s iconic Le Cirque, and now the immersive worlds of Universal’s theme parks, Chef Dahlmann brings a global perspective and passion for storytelling through food.
In this interview, he shares his journey, the transformation of Universal’s food and beverage scene, and a sneak peek at the “epic” culinary offerings awaiting guests at the highly anticipated Universal Epic Universe, now open this May 2025.
Tell us about your culinary background and journey to Orlando
I formally began my career in Düsseldorf, Germany, where I completed a three-year apprenticeship under a Master Chef, learning the ins and outs of the craft. After graduating, my journey to grow and learn continued across fantastic hotels and restaurants throughout Germany and Switzerland, as well as aboard ultra-luxury cruise lines traveling through Southeast Asia (Myanmar, Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, Vietnam, and Hong Kong) and the Mediterranean Sea. Working on cruise ships was tough but incredibly rewarding — it was there I fell in love with Asian cuisine and also met the owners and chef from the famous NYC restaurant Le Cirque 2000, who recruited me to join their team as Sous Chef.
I arrived in New York City in the late 1990s, and my time at Le Cirque became a pivotal moment in my career. Working at one of the world’s most recognized restaurants refined my skills, knowledge, and leadership. During my 4 years at Le Cirque, I met my wife Gina in the kitchen, and we decided it was time to start a family and move south. We spent three wonderful years in Palm Beach, where I ran a fine dining restaurant. From there, I moved to Orlando and spent 12 years working for a large entertainment and theme park company, serving as Executive Chef and General Manager of Food and Beverage.
Before joining Universal Orlando Resort, I spent seven years as Vice President of Culinary for one of the largest casual dining brands headquartered in Orlando, overseeing R&D and strategic menu planning for their two largest concepts.
When the opportunity came to join Universal Orlando Resort — stepping into the footsteps of Steve Jayson, who retired after 35 years — it was simply too good to pass up. The creativity that comes with working in a theme park environment, combined with iconic rides and IPs, opens endless opportunities for storytelling through food. Of course, what truly sold me was the chance to help open Universal Epic Universe. Being part of the development and storytelling through food — bringing these amazing restaurants and stories to life — is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Creating unique and delicious dishes alongside our incredibly talented chef team is something I’m deeply proud to be part of.
How have the food and beverage scene at Universal transformed over the past few years?
What are you most looking forward to this 2025?
What are some things you draw inspiration on in your work?
I’m also constantly inspired by the local food scene here in Orlando. The Mills 50 district is always evolving. From the Crispy Rice Salad at Sticky Rice to the Roti at Mamak and the amazing Chinese BBQ at the Mills market, there’s always something new to discover. Love exploring. And of course, social media is a big source of inspiration too — it lets you travel the world without ever having to get on a plane! ?
What are some of the biggest lessons you have learned over the years in the industry that you would like to share to those coming up in the field?
My advice: Say yes to opportunities and take risks, especially when you’re young and have less to lose — it will pay off over time. Treat your career like a portfolio of investments: work for good companies, dedicate yourself, and think long-term. The compound interest on your experience and relationships will create real success in the future.
What are some of your proudest achievements so far?
With the opening of the new Epic Universe theme park, what can guests expect in terms of food and beverage at the new park? What are some must try’s while there?
Universal Epic Universe is truly next level — from attractions and immersive storytelling to the culinary experiences. Our Food & Beverage team, led by R&D Chefs Robert Martinez and Christopher Colón, had an absolute blast bringing each world to life through food. The food and beverage at Epic Universe showcases our vision of what theme park food should be, highly immersive, quality forward and Epically delicious!
Universal Epic Universe features five uniquely themed worlds, each accessed through a portal, where food is an extension of the story. Here’s a taste of what guests can expect:
Celestial Park – the heart of Epic Universe with beautiful gardens and water features and a nice collection of restaurants.
The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Ministry of Magic – transports you to 1920s wizarding Paris.
How to Train Your Dragon – Isle of Berk – transports you to a world filled with Dragons and Vikings inspired by the How to Train Your Dragon films.
Dark Universe – where you can dine with vampires inside “Das Stakehaus” or you might become the next meal yourself.
SUPER NINTENDO WORLD – the home of Chef Toad’s Toadstool Cafe and features items like the Mario Burger and Bowser’s Fireball challenge.

Orlando’s Edible Education Experience has rebranded as The Kitchen House, marking a new step forward in its mission to connect the Central Florida community with food and each other.
Operating from the Emeril Lagasse Foundation Kitchen House and Culinary Garden in College Park, the nonprofit’s new name pays homage to its home while reflecting its commitment to immersive garden-to-kitchen experiences.
With new co-executive directors Sara Elliott and Betsy Gwinn at the helm, The Kitchen House is poised to expand its reach and deepen its impact.
The rebrand signals a renewed focus on hands-on programming that teaches people of all ages to grow, cook, and enjoy whole, plant-based foods.
“Our name reflects what we do—inviting people into a warm, welcoming space where they can grow, cook, and enjoy real food together,” says Gwinn, whose deep ties to Central Florida’s nonprofit scene bring energy to the organization.
Elliott, drawing on her experience at the Stone Barns Center for Food and Agriculture, adds, “Knowing how to prepare fresh, whole food isn’t just a skill—it’s essential for our health and the environment.”
Founded over a decade ago by Chef Kevin Fonzo, gardener Brad Jones, educator Sarah Cahill, and Orlando Junior Academy, The Kitchen House grew from a simple question: What if students could learn about science, health, and the environment through real food?
That vision continues to shape its youth and community programs, which emphasize harvesting fresh produce from the organization’s robust garden and sharing meals together. “Our experiences show people how to confidently grow, cook, and enjoy whole foods,” says Program Manager Chef Megan Amnott. “The best part is enjoying the meals together.”
The need for such programs is urgent, as 70% of U.S. children and teens’ diets consist of ultra-processed foods linked to obesity, diabetes, and other chronic illnesses.
The Kitchen House counters this trend by equipping the community with the knowledge and skills to choose grown, not manufactured, foods—fostering healthier bodies, stronger communities, and a more sustainable planet.
Under Elliott and Gwinn’s leadership, The Kitchen House is expanding its classes, interactive programs, and shared meals to reach more Central Floridians. To learn more or get involved, visit TheKitchenHouse.org.
About The Kitchen House
The Kitchen House is a nonprofit organization based in Orlando’s College Park, dedicated to creating deeper connections with food and community through immersive garden-to-table experiences for Central Florida.

In this interview, we sit down with Massimo Fallica, an experienced Italian restaurateur who has spent over 20 years perfecting the art of authentic Italian cuisine in the UK and now brings his expertise to Winter Park at Grappolo Cucina Italiana. With a passion for blending time-honored recipes with exceptional service, he shares his journey of transforming London/Surrey’s La Meridiana into an award-winning establishment and also introduces Grappolo, the new family-oriented restaurant now open in Winter Park offering diners a unique taste of Italy.
Tell us about your background and experience in Italian Restaurants.
I am an Italian who lived in the UK for over three decades, blending my cultural heritage with a wealth of experience in the restaurant industry, where I have dedicated 20 years to honing my craft.
My approach centres on efficient operations, team motivation, budget control, and exceptional guest satisfaction—essential pillars in creating memorable dining experiences. Over the years, I’ve opened and managed several acclaimed Italian restaurants in London, including La Figa and Babylon, overseeing everything from staff recruitment and training to menu design.
My dedication to excellence has earned me four different awards in the United Kingdom, underscoring my passion for authentic Italian cuisine and service. Since taking ownership of La Meridiana in late 2017, I have worked tirelessly to transform it into an award-winning establishment renowned for its welcoming atmosphere and time-honoured recipes.
By carefully managing costs, elevating service quality, and consistently meeting the needs of a loyal, discerning clientele, I continue to bring the flavours and traditions of Italy to life.
Why Winter Park?
Winter Park boasts a vibrant dining scene that thrives on its lively cultural heritage and affluent, well-educated community.
With a picturesque downtown framed by boutiques, art galleries, and scenic lakes, the city invites both locals and tourists alike to explore a refined yet welcoming atmosphere. Its reputation for exceptional culinary experiences—spanning from upscale bistros to artisanal cafés—makes Winter Park a prime destination for food enthusiasts in search of diverse and high-quality dining options.
Adding an authentic Italian restaurant into this mix offers a perfect complement to the city’s cultural tapestry; diners who value traditional flavours and techniques will find plenty to love in dishes that celebrate Italy’s rich gastronomic history.
Moreover, Winter Park’s strong sense of community, bolstered by nearby Rollins College and a continual stream of visitors, ensures a steady clientele drawn to the warmth and familial ambiance that Italian cuisine naturally provides.
What are your upcoming plans at Grappolo?
Our primary goal is to continue strengthening La Meridiana’s reputation, aspiring Grappolo to become one of the best Italian restaurants in the Orlando area—widely recognized for both our authentic cuisine and exceptional customer service.
To achieve this, we plan to introduce special menus for key celebratory days such as Mother’s Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year’s Eve, and other family-oriented events, as well as for weddings and private gatherings.
These themed offerings will showcase traditional Italian fare, infused with creative twists to delight our clientele. We also aim to expand our family-friendly appeal with fun and engaging dishes like a “Kids Pizza,” ensuring that guests of all ages can enjoy the warmth, tradition, and true Flavors of Italy.
What is the Grappolo Experience and what makes Grappolo stand out?
Grappolo will offer a truly family-oriented experience, putting exceptional customer service at the forefront to ensure that every guest feels as though they’ve stepped into a warm, inviting dining room in Italy.
Our culinary inspiration comes from time-honoured family recipes—dishes that have been treasured for generations.
We believe Winter Park diners will appreciate our commitment to authenticity and our passion for serving cuisine that you won’t find elsewhere in the area.
