Sorry for the long time since my last post. Things have been pretty busy, and I have been pretty lazy. Perfect Storm. So a few weeks ago Laura and I went down to disney world for an extended weekend. There we participated in the annual Food and Wine Festival at Epcot. This event was fantastic! They had a bunch of different food/drink stations set up throughout the park offering small (and expensive) samples of different regional fare.
My favorite thing we did during the vacation was the Party for the Senses. This was the best buffet I have ever been to. There were about 20 stations offering a wide range of dishes from rack of lamb (our favorites), to duck tacos, to pork belly, to scallops, to rabbit, to pork cheek, to lamb meatballs, to Chilean sea bass and more!. Each station had a different wine or beer to test as well. Needless to say Laura and I got our money's worth. We will definitely do this event again in the future!
Here are some pictures from the Food and Wine Festival.
Mickey Thomas from Starship (the 80's band) performing. They were pretty entertaining.

Cirque du Soleil performance.
We got to meet Iron Chef Cat Cora. She was very nice, and the dish she was presenting, lamb meatball on hummus, was amazing!
That looks like a very cool time. Meeting Cat Cora must have been a real treat. Of course, the food and drink look great. I would have liked to try the duck tacos.
ReplyDeleteYeah the duck tacos were really good. THey had the right amount of spicy, and were very meaty. Not pictured was the rack of lamb with a tamirand sauce that was to die for. I had 5 or so of those. After drinking a bunch of wine and beer, you can get crazy on finger foods.
