UYE: Breakfast Bites at Dexters, Thorton Park

Mischita organized a great UYE!
We all met at Dexter’s in Thornton Park and got ready to stuff our faces with breakfast goodness! The restaurant was pretty empty, so we got a lot of attention from our server, Katie.
Some of us were keen on trying the local duck bacon and though they normally reserve this for their Sunday Brunch, Katie and the staff were ready to accommodate us.
Duck was had by all and everyone enjoyed their meals!
Great, UYE and fun to see some Unilocalers outside of a Unilocal party!

Wow what a great time we all had!!!
I had the opportunity to have breakfast with some friends (other Unilocal!Elites) on a Tuesday morning. So it was not very busy. I ordered the eggs Benedict which were cooked just right. Out waitress Katie apologized when my breakfast was delayed because they were making fresh Hollandaise sauce. No apology needed. My dish was served with some hash browns that were cooked to perfection and served with a dollop of sour cream and some chives. A small fruit bowl also accompanied my breakfast.
I tried the duck bacon, it was different. Not your typical pork belly bacon, but different.
I gave Dexter’s five stars. Let me explain why.
This is an establishment that really cares about their patrons. My reason… sound panels. I noticed that they had sound absorbing panels on the wall and they had some other panels that were hanging from the ceiling to help redirect sound. I have been to too many places that were so loud that I could not enjoy the company of friends and family because of so much background noise. Thank you Dexter’s

I always enjoy meeting up/​hanging out with my fellow Unilocalers. Any time that involves food, fun and fellowship is a good time.
This time we met up on a Tuesday morning, 8am, at Dexter’s in Thornton Park District to explore the breakfast menu. Dexter’s offers a breakfast menu 7am to 10am Monday through Friday (and a different brunch menu on the weekend).
Everyone showed up ready to get their day started with «the most important meal of the day». We sat at a round table near the back swapping good food and good restaurant stories and tips. This included experiences at recently opened/​revamped venues, rumors of venues to come and fond memories of venues past. I also learned a few historical fun facts about Orlando and other topics of discussion (e.g. movies, cars, etc.)
It was my goal is to order the maple leaf farms bacon which is duck bacon with blueberry cornbread but to my dismay, this is served only on the brunch menu! Thus blueberry corn bread was unavailable, however, Dexter’s was accommodating enough to allow us to order that delish duck bacon! I had a side of that with the shrimp and grits. I didn’t know that this would come with egg… initially, I was happy about that until I discovered that the yolk was runny. I don’t do runny yolks… I scrapped it off the best that I could and kept going. Otherwise the shrimp and grits weren’t bad, just not high on my list of favorites from Dexter’s.
I thank my fellow Unilocalers for coming out and sharing with me, I had a great time.
