Ep 19: Cinnamon Rolls and the Art of Sweet and Savory

  • Summary

  • In this episode of *Let’s Eat Orlando with Amy Drew and Biggie*, we dive into the world of cinnamon rolls—light, fluffy, and everything a Cinnabon isn’t. We kick things off with DeVilma Cinnamon Rolls, which Amy Drew describes as smelling amazing, though she admits the aroma sometimes outshines the taste. Biggie shares his go-to cinnamon rolls from Ikea and Donut King, while Amy Drew reveals her favorite—the Ultimate Cinnamon Roll from The Glass Knife in Winter Park, FL, especially for its perfectly balanced cream cheese icing.


    We also chat about Amy Drew’s unique dining habit—she never finishes her food, leaving plenty for Biggie to taste. This time, he lucked out with bites of Benny’s Burger, a smash burger loaded with onions that hit all the right notes.


    The conversation expands into the characteristics of a good cinnamon roll (spoiler: balance is key!) and why Amy Drew loves cakes more than frosting. She even has her eye on a Fluffer Nutter Pop Tart, leading us to explore the growing trend of homemade Pop Tarts from spots like The Glass Knife and Buttermilk Bakery.


    We dig into a few must-try bakeries for cinnamon rolls, including Bread for the Masses, Yeast Coast Bakehouse, and Sourdough Bakehouse, and share stories like Biggie’s mom bringing over her favorites from Bread for the Masses.


    Biggie shares the best thing he’s eaten lately—tacos from Taqueria Las Cazuelas, a small, family-owned gem—and we chat about the magic of tacos and other handheld foods.


    Finally, we discuss the balance of eating, writing about food, and managing those extra calories, along with tips for navigating holiday eating and making the most of leftovers. Plus, a sneak peek into what’s coming next for *Let’s Eat Orlando*!
