It seems as though the popularity of the event, both from vendors and from guests, created the need for more space and more booths.
Swan & Dolphin Food & Wine Classic 2011 – Friday Night … The South Korea booth debuted in 2010 at the Epcot International Food & Wine Festival. Nora and I enjoyed the food so it was an early stop for the 2011 event. We enjoy Asian food and look forward to trying new things.

First of all, the seminar got a very late start; we were finally seated at 12:14 for a 12:00 seminar (seminars that only last 45 minutes, so we lost 33% of the seminar time)… it soon became apparent that the continue reading Samuel Adams … For some reason I try “fish” tacos frequently. 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 … This demonstration was on 30 September, opening day of the 2011 Epcot International Food & Wine Festival.
