Epcot International Flower & Garden Festival 2014 – The Smokehouse Beef Brisket and Pulled Pork

We liked the Beef Brisket and the Pulled Pork quite a bit last year when they debuted at the Flower and Garden Festival; so much so that we’ve talked about them to each other and anyone else who’d listen.

First off, let me point out that

Epcot International Flower & Garden Festival 2014 – The Smokehouse Beer Flight

The four beers in this flight proved to be better overall than the beer in the Florida Fresh flight.

They are presented left to right, top to bottom…

Magic Hat #9 (Magic Hat Brewing, South Burlington, VT) – we both thought that this “wasn’t bad” Maduro (Cigar City Brewing, Tampa, FL) – I particularly

A quick stop at Katsura Grill, Japan Pavilion, Epcot

Katsura Grill in the Japan Pavilion at Epcot has long been a favorite of ours – especially back before we moved to the Lake Buena Vista area… back then, it was pretty much an “always do” when we’d vacation at Walt Disney World. The udon is consistently good and the beer is consistently cold.

One

Epcot International Flower & Garden Festival 2014 – Taste of Marrakesh Lamb Brewat Roll

We only tried one item from Taste of Marrakesh at last year’s Epcot International Flower & Garden Festival (spiced lamb kebab with vegetable couscous salad), it was pretty pitiful and disappointing because we typically LOVE lamb. We were so disappointed, that we just didn’t even try the booth during the Epcot International Food & Wine

Epcot International Flower & Garden Festival 2014 – Lotus House Spring Pancake

Last year, we had the Spring Pancake twice… the first time, it was pretty “sorry” – the second time, it was improved.

Spring Pancake from Lotus House 2014 (with a side dabble of Srircha Sauce)

So far in 2014, our reviews on this item are mixed…

the pancake wasn’t greasy as it had

2014 Epcot Flower and Garden Festival – Outdoor Kitchens and our plans for this year

Last year, we tried to eat everything from the outdoor kitchens during the Flower and Garden Festival (link to our FlipBoard magazine, Adults Extra Walt Disney World Magic – Flower & Garden 2013) – we didn’t “succeed” because there were some booths that we just didn’t want to eat at…

Sorry folks, this year is

2013 Epcot International Food & Wine Festival – Germany Marketplace – Schinkennudeln & Riesling Kabinett

I wanted to sample the Schinkennudeln (Pasta Gratin with Ham & Cheese) – Nick didn’t have this as a “must have” on his list…

a digression, not to be confused with digestion

By the way… Have you heard of the new cookbook that’s all over the blogosphere the last few weeks? It’s “Melt: The Art

2013 Epcot International Food & Wine Festival – Florida Local Marketplace – Florida Shrimp Cerviche & Florida Cracker Belgian-style White Ale

Part of our intent in going over to the Epcot Food & Wine Festival on a Sunday evening was to see Christopher Cross Eat to the Beat Concert – we stopped for adult beverages at Hawaii as we were walking in (most of the beer went into the trash can) and headed up toward Japan

2013 Epcot International Food & Wine Festival – China Marketplace – Mongolian Beef in a Steamed Bun & Tsingtao Beer

We hadn’t planned on having the Mongolian Beef in a Steamed Bun… It just didn’t seem very interesting to us. Frankly, we don’t eat beef very often (although, it seems like we’re eating it more frequently in 2013 than we have in the previous 10 years!)… However, Sarah & Matt at EatingWDW gave it rave
