The Smokehouse Barbecue & Brews – 2013 Epcot Flower & Garden Festival

The Smokehouse Barbecue & Brews area is located at the America Pavilion… And since barbecue and beer are two of our favorite food groups, we tried all of their offerings recently. Before we get to the food, we want to let you have a look around.

This area has a nicely defined

Tutto Gusto Wine and Cheese Tastings, Italy Pavilion, Epcot

Recently we were over in Epcot and since we haven’t visited Tutto Gusto in nearly 9 months, we thought it was time to see if things had improved or deteriorated. Last year, we really liked the small plates of things to sample (here and here). During the Epcot International Food & Wine Festival we learned

A Snack at Les Halles Bakery in the France Pavilion at Epcot

We were out and about on Marathon Sunday and stopped at Les Halles Bakery in France at Epcot for a snack. We had been driving around Walt Disney World cheering on Kate as she ran in her first full length marathon – our next spot to see her was at the United Kingdom Pavilion at

Tables in Wonderland – Unibroue Dinner at The Wave

In mid-November we attended our first Tables in Wonderland event – the first beer pairing dinner (Unibroue) at the Wave inside the Contemporary Resort.

The lighting was atrocious for picture taking (and to some extent, it was pretty bad for even seeing what you were eating)… so apologies in advance for the photos.

When we

Japan Booth – Sake – Epcot International Food & Wine Festival 2012

Kikusui Super Dry Jumai & Bishounen Junmai Ginjo

The Junmai on the left is slightly yellow in color and the Junmai Ginjo on the right is much clearer.

Karaage Hand Roll

Karaage Hand Roll – Crispy chicken breast with sushi rice and spicy mayonnaise

This wasn’t anything spectacular (each of the food items at the Japan Booth have been disappointing this year (spicy hand roll and sukiyaki beef pan), such a shame because we typically find quite a bit to really

Tokyo Dining – Sake and Food Pairing – Epcot International Food and Wine Festival 2012

On October 10th, we had the pleasure of attending the Tokyo Dining Food and Sake Pairing during the Epcot International Food and Wine Festival for the third year in a row!

Japan Booth – Spicy Hand Roll – Epcot International Food & Wine Festival 2012

Spicy Hand Roll – large enough to share

 

SPICY HAND ROLL – Tuna and salmon with chili pepper, soy sauce & sesame oil topped with kazan volcano sauce.

The rice was stickier than sushi rice is typically. There was ample filling and the sauce on top tasted okay. Overall, the texture was
