Dux at The Peabody Orlando – Among Florida Trend's Top 500 Restaurants

ORLANDO, FLA. -- MARCH 27, 2007 -- Florida Trend, the magazine of Florida business has just announced Robert Tolf's 2007 Top 500 Restaurants in Florida Trend's Great Florida Restaurant Guide, and Dux, the signature restaurant of The Peabody Orlando is among them again.

Already a Golden Spoon winner, Dux remains one of Orlando's most celebrated restaurants, much favored by hotel guests and the local community.

Regarded as one of the most valuable resources for those seeking new and exciting places to dine, as well as those seeking updates on long-established favorite restaurants, Robert Tolf ‘s annual Top 500 Restaurants has been providing evaluations of Florida's restaurants for 38 years for Florida Trend magazine.

“This is great news for Julio Delgado, chef de cuisine for Dux,” said Karl Edlbauer, corporate executive chef for Peabody Hotels. “Chef Julio is one of the most innovative chefs we have ever had the pleasure of working with and our guests are giving his menus rave reviews.”

Dux at The Peabody Orlando has been pleasing hotel guests and the local community since the hotel opened in 1986. For guests attending conferences and conventions, it is the supreme restaurant for entertaining business clients, both for the excellence of its food and service, and its unmatched convenience to the Orange County Convention Center.

The wine list is a cherished and revered element in the Dux dining experience. Sommelier, Eddie Nickell, has a wealth of knowledge of his wine list and is a superb matchmaker of wines and food. And, for the local community, there is simply no place like Dux for those very special events such as anniversaries, birthdays and romantic occasions such as proposals of marriage and engagements.

The Peabody Orlando is a property of Peabody Hotels within the portfolio of Peabody Hotel Group, Memphis, Tennessee. It is a Mobil Four-Star, AAA Four Diamond, Wine Spectator award winner.
