ORLANDO, Fla. — With one eye on a soccer match, bar food at Lion's Pride tends to tug at you for your full attention.
Spectrum News spent the afternoon with Chef Scott Phillips inside the official restaurant of Orlando City Soccer. He's showing off two recipes, beginning with Captain's Pork Chop -- a whopping 22 ounce portion.
"The seasoning is paprika, salt, pepper, oregano and cumin," he said, dunking it in a fryer before it spends 12 minutes in the oven.
Chef Phillips also demos his creamy Shrimp & Lobster Risotto. Saffron rice creates a rich, orange hue, and butter and heavy cream bring it all home.
