I have a confession. I've been keeping this place a secret, but I've had a change of heart! It's time for you to indulge your culinary curiosity at The Glass Knife (TGK), where each visit beckons an exploration of the entire menu. It's my personal mission to try everything on the menu! With an ambiance reminiscent of your favorite cinematic romance, TGK exudes an aura of culinary excellence. I've drove up to Orlando/Winter Park should I say about 6x as the allure proves irresistible, drawing me back time and again despite intentions to venture elsewhere in the area.
On a recent rainy Saturday excursion, I found myself ensconced within TGK's enchanting atmosphere. Despite my best efforts to diversify my selections, I remain steadfastly loyal to the BLT and Roasted Turkey Club sandwiches. The BLT, features a crisp applewood smoked bacon, Bibb lettuce, marinated tomato, avocado, and peppercorn aioli delicately embraced within garlic toasted French bread, that simply elevates itself beyond the commonplace, asserting its dominance within its culinary category. I mean there's a lot of restaurants that offer BLT sandwiches, but this is like no other.
Equally captivating is the Roasted Turkey Club, a ridiculously great masterpiece comprised of sliced turkey breast, cheddar cheese, Neuske applewood smoked bacon, tomatoes, arugula, peppercorn aioli, and honey mustard, all embraced within a pretzel roll. The sandwich is accompanied by mom's icebox pickles, even a professed pickle skeptic such as myself finds a newfound appreciation for--seriously I hate pickles but these are great!
While my commentary on TGK could easily extend into an entire dissertation, it would be remiss if I did not mention the desserts. The Hershey dessert tantalizes the taste buds with its richness, while the strawberry cake, despite its sweet appearance, surprises with its nuanced flavor profile.
For those passing through Orlando/Winter Park a visit to TGK is imperative, offering not only an amazing array of sandwiches and desserts but also salads and coffee of commendable quality, according to my family and friends. Personally, I eagerly anticipate returning to try these offerings in the near future for myself.
