To truly know a city, you’ve got to eat where the locals eat—and in Orlando, that means heading straight to Mills 50. In this episode, David & Tim joins Ricky Lee, the voice behind beloved local food blog Tasty Chomps, for a walking tour of one of Orlando’s most vibrant culinary neighborhoods.
From Vietnamese curry to Michelin-linked food stalls, you’ll explore the evolving story of this historically Vietnamese district, now a hub of pan-Asian food halls, local chefs, and a deeply rooted community. And in true Travel in 10 fashion, the tour takes a twist as the crew ends up courtside—sampling upscale eats at an Orlando Magic game.
