Orlando Morning Report

TODAY'S WEATHER: Morning fog with partly cloudy afternoon skies. High 82°, Low 65°. Hour-by-hour temperatures here.

Good morning! I'm Amy Drew Thompson, multimedia food reporter at the Orlando Sentinel, and this morning's newsletter comes with a warning that there's something fishy going on in this week's Cooking & Eating section. Two things fishy, actually. The first came in the form of a reader question about fish sauce and oyster sauce and the difference between them. I enlisted the help of local chef and James Beard Award nominee Henry Moso of Kabooki Sushi to help deliver the answer. If you're more interested in seeing food and eating it (without all the pesky cooking), Something Fishy is a fast-casual venue that Apopka residents have been enjoying for a few years now — and one you may want to try for yourself. And don't forget to cast your vote for your favorite restaurant finalist in our 23rd Annual Foodie Awards! Now, here's the rest of today's news….
