There’s so much to chose from (especially when you do the math on possible combinations… and after all, isn’t food and beverage pairing about the COMBINATIONS?), and we enjoyed last week immensely, so we went again. First of all, the service on our first visit was continue reading Tutto Gusto – week 2 … Last week, while Harry & Sandy were visiting, we met up with some other WDW friends (including Walter) and toured Epcot. The day before our tour, Tutto Gusto had opened in Italy. We stopped in for a few beers (nick had the Blue Point Toasted Lager and nora had the Moretti La Rossa). It continue reading Tutto Gusto – Italy … This year we had planned three pairings and this was the last one (Mexico’s Tequila Lunch and Japan’s Food & Sake were the other two).

I prefer seafood so I continue reading Mahi Mahi, Brazil – Epcot 2011 Food & Wine Festival … Until 2009 I never knew I liked chutney. During a visit with Harry and Sandy they encouraged me to try some chutney. Now I am a fan. I always look forward to having the Cheese Plate from the Ireland Booth. Kerrygold cheese and butter, chutney and bit of brown bread. Would you believe my mouth continue reading Cheese Plate, Ireland – Epcot 2011 Food & Wine Festival … Last year, 2010, we thought the Fisherman’s Pie was not as good as 2009. It was still a good dish but the flavors were more muted. The seafood flavors were not as distinct. Plus although it was really hot – the mashed potatoes were not as “firm” as I expected. We were anxious to try continue reading Fisherman’s Pie – Epcot 2011 Food & Wine Festival … Hey! We have a news scoop! First background regarding the counter-service venue at the Japan Pavilion… Andy from Eating (and Drinking) around the World (here) reported in August that Yakitori House at the Japan Pavilion was going to be closed for 3 months (or more) for refurbishment.
