Okay, so after visiting a second time, this time with Jenn and all day, I've tried food from 20 booths now. And I have to say, I actually like Flower and Garden more. Not sure why, but the foods didn't really call out to me the way the last festival did. And there's just too much at this one. I even kind of like the Arts Festival more, because at least then I could sample something from nearly every booth and be done in one day. This festival is getting too big for its britches, and I kind of hope they pull it back a little next year.
In any case, you can see a full review for everything we tried so far here:
Epcot Food & Wine Festival 2017 – Review & Full Coverage – Orlando ParkStop
Some of the stand outs for us were:
Seared Scallops from The Wine and Dine Studio:
Sweet Dark Chocolate Raspberry Torte from The Chocolate Studio:
Kalua Pork Slider, Teriyaki-glazed SPAM Hash, and Passion Fruit Cheesecake from Hawai’i:
Seared Shrimp and Scallop Cake and Marinated Chicken with Peanut Sauce from Thailand:
Irish Cheddar Cheese and Stout Dip and Warm Chocolate Pudding from Ireland:
Warm Chocolate Pudding with Irish Cream Liqueur Custard is our favorite dessert so far:
New England Lobster Roll, Smoked Beef Brisket with Pimento Cheese, and Carrot Cake from Hops & Barley:
I liked that the Lobster Roll uses a butter sauce rather than mayonnaise, and it's a big portion of lobster!
And I'm a sucker for Boba, so the Bright Horizons was fun... plus, where else at Disney can you get a light up cup for only 4.50?
We might go back and try some more stuff, but man there's a lot of booths! Hopefully next time we go the weather will be a little nicer. There wasn't even a breeze the two times I've visited so far. (Another reason to like the Arts Festival! Cooler weather!) Check out my full review
here. I'll update it if we do go again.
