I did not know those facts about either restaurant chain.  I do know
that there was a restaurant near St. Pete called the Kapok Tree that had
a sister restaurant somewhere in the MD area.  I think that one had
Peacock in the name -- but I think that both are long gone.

BTW, Gail and I were wed in St. Pete!


MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.05
 
      Title: Burnt Oranges (Irish)
 Categories: Dessert, Irish, Fruit
      Yield: 4 servings
 
      4 x  Large oranges
    150 ml Sweet white wine
      1 tb Butter
      8 tb Sugar
    300 ml Fresh-squeezed orange juice
      2 tb Whiskey (warmed)
 
  Carefully peel the oranges thinly.  Then with a sharp knife remove as
  much of the pith and white skin as possible, keeping the oranges
  intact.  Cut the thin peel into fine strips and cover with the wine.
  Put the oranges into an ovenproof dish.  Put a little butter on top
  of each one, pressing it down gently, then sprinkle each one with a
  teaspoon of sugar.  Put into a 400F oven for 10 minutes or until the
  sugar caramelizes.  
  .
  Meanwhile mix the orange juice with the sugar in a saucepan and bring
  to the boil.  Lower the heat and let it get syrupy, without stirring.
  Add the orange peel and wine mixture and bring to the boil again,
  then cook rapidly to reduce and thicken slightly.   -- Take the
  oranges from the oven and if not fully browned, put under a moderate
  broiler for a few minutes.  Pour the warmed whisky over them and set
  it alight, over heat. As the flames die down, add the orange syrup
  and let it simmer for about 2 minutes.  Serve at once;  or it can be
  served cold.
 
MMMMM
