(Above) The dish presented is Ocoee Taco Company’s famous tacos. Their tacos are made from fresh onions, grilled onions, cilantro, cheese, and the diner’s choice of meat. In this case, I got the chicken, seasoned to perfection allowing the flavors to shine through. Even with that, the chicken does not overpower the vegetables, maintaining a light flavor, tempting the customer to ask for more.

(Above) The bag for the meal explicitly states, “There is nothing happy about this meal.” Some might even say this is a play on the McDonald’s, “Happy Meal.” Even though it is unconfirmed whether this was done intentionally or not, fans are calling the Meal of Misfortune the “Unhappy Meal.”

(Above) Cloud Cities by Tomás Saraceno floats above, quietly glowing and shifting reflections of light as viewers walk by. Something about the size of the art piece is magnetic and leaves the viewers in awe. When viewers walk into The Alfond Inn they could see in the distance the small atrium projecting the light of the art throughout the room. This makes everyone in the room feel like part of the center-piece. As a viewer standing under the art piece, it is astonishing to see the colors being projected not only on the walls but also on the people viewing the

With the team ready to go, Coach Scherba can motivate the team for the next play.
