Last year we did two pairings, Japan’s Food & Sake Pairing (here) and Morocco’s Food & Wine Pairing (here). We enjoyed the event in Japan quite a lot, so we’re repeating it this year; and luckily for us, they’ve changed the menu and the presentation a bit. This was our second of three such pairings continue reading Tokyo Dining Food & Sake Pairing … We first tasted Unibroue beer the last time we ate at Le Cellier in the Canada pavilion. This was at least 3 years ago. We have never really understood all the hoopla surrounding this restaurant. It is ok but it does not deserve all the hype it gets on WDW fan sites and blogs. So continue reading Unibroue Draft Beer at Canada during 2011 Epcot Food & Wine Festival … We really enjoy our sushi, judging most places by the quality of their tuna. We’ve already talked about the Tuna and Salmon Sensation being served at the Japan booth this year. This was excellent quality fish. So how did the Hawaii both do? Hawaii is serving Tuna Poke with Seaweed Salad and Lotus Root Chips. continue reading Tuna Poke, Hawaii – Epcot 2011 Food & Wine Festival … I like pork, especially pulled pork. Thus when I saw the pulled pork slider at the Hawaii booth I knew I had to try it. Kalua Pork Slider with Sweet and Sour Dole Pineapple Chutney and Spicy Mayonnaise In a word, yummy. The pork was moist and had just a few red pepper flakes continue reading Pork Slider, Hawaii – Epcot 2011 Food & Wine Festival … Sharing events with friends is always more fun. Our friends Al and Judy were here for the weekend with Al’s “Big Sis”. So for this lunch we had a fantastic time and got to do more than just focus on the food – we got to share with friends. We’ve already been talking with Al continue reading La Hacienda de San Angel – Tequila Lunch Pairing … The long anticipated and much watched “La Hacienda San Angel” (located in Epcot’s World Showcase Mexico Pavilion) opened on September 16, 2010. We’d been reading reviews of the press event and of “La Cantina San Angel” (counter-service located immediately next door) on allears.net and on the Disney Food Blog… Review of La Cantina San Angel continue reading First Dinner at La Hacienda San Angel – originally written on September 23, 2010 … We selected this culinary demonstration for two reasons… (1) we’re huge fans of Fort Wilderness and (2) we hoped to see Chef Nick (we knew him from his previous post at Port Orleans French Quarter) Specifics: Food: Farm Fresh “BLT” with House Made Natural Bacon, Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort and Campground Wine: Montes Limited continue reading Epcot Food & Wine – Culinary Demonstration – Steve Lawlor – Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort and Campground … Epcot Food & Wine — Culinary Demonstration — Michael Toussaint Gunn — United Kingdom Pavilion, EpcotThis Culinary Demonstration was a treat for us because… Calvin and Kate went too!

Well, I try them as often as I find them. Yet, none compare to what my mind/taste say they should be. There is always some freshness missing. The shrimp tacos at the Mexican Pavilion still did not satisfy. Nora explained to me that a seafood taco continue reading Mexico Pavilion Shrimp Tacos, 2011 Epcot International Food & Wine Festival … Our favorite presenter at the 2010 Epcot International Food & Wine Festival was Martin Daraz from the Edrington Group. You cannot imagine my disappointment when Martin nor the Edrington Group were on the schedule for the 2011 Epcot International Food & Wine Festival. Martin celebrated his fifth year as a presenter last year by sharing continue reading Martin Daraz, where are you? … |
