Big Plans – the Festival starts on Friday (yes, only three days away!) We’re going to start our F&W doings with a special event at Epcot. Some of you may know that October 1st is Epcot’s Anniversary and this year marks 30 years since Epcot opened. We made special efforts to attend Epcot’s 25th Anniversary continue reading Plans for Epcot International Food & Wine Festival … Yes, it’s becoming a habit with us – Friday evening at bluezoo. Of course, we have at least four good reasons why it’s a habit… The food is typically very good (thanks to a very good kitchen that uses real food) The service is usually spot on (thanks to good management) The drinks are generally continue reading Two consecutive Friday evenings enjoying bluezoo … Yes, it’s a post about bluezoo again! Can you tell that we really, really like bluezoo? We went over last Friday evening to have a couple of appetizers and a cocktail, plus we really wanted to talk to Chad about this year’s Food & Wine Classic (see our reviews of Chad’s Sake Class in 2010 continue reading bluezoo on a friday evening … Back in January, Lisa and Andy came to WDW for a visit. And of course, we had to go to bluezoo for dinner. #gallery-1 { margin: auto; } #gallery-1 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 100%; } #gallery-1 img { border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; } #gallery-1 .gallery-caption { margin-left: 0; } /* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes/media.php */ Wonderful start to any meal at bluezoo = Chad’s Barrel Aged Manhattan! Amuse Bouche – our notes read “rock shrimp, mushrooms, cauliflower cream, pickled cauliflower, and gnocchi” Olive’s Flatbread – this flatbread doesn’t contain olives, it is named for Todd English’s restaurant “Olive’s” Short Rib and Scallop Appetizer – very yummy Nora and Andy had the Mero (fish) – it was very smooth and buttery, well seared, and nicely seasoned; however, it was also very rich for a fish dish (perhaps a bit too rich for Nora’s tastes) Lisa’s Pork Dish – deemed to be excellent Nick’s Pasta Dish – contains many of the same accompaniments as the amuse bouche; this was more flavorful than the Mero Chocolate Dessert Sampler Fishhouse Punch – a very old and traditional mixed drink Yes, we went back to Tutto Gusto this week. 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 … We recently found ourselves at Disney’s Hollywood Studios with an appetite – we didn’t want “counter service” and we didn’t want large meals – solution… sharing appetizers from the Hollywood Brown Derby 🙂 We arrived around 2:00 without ADRs, and we seated immediately. It was cool & comfortable, not overly noisy either. Nora started with continue reading Lunch at Brown Derby … with friends and few photos… When we returned from our recent cruise, we wanted to continue the “vacation feeling” for the whole day — so, we made reservations for dinner at bluezoo and asked Calvin & Kate to join us. We contacted Chad (remember him from the Food & Wine Classic?) and asked if he continue reading Dinner at bluezoo … Safari Camp & Lunch After two hours we were ready for a break. The break comes at a custom built safari camp that sits at the highest point on the savannah. Our safari truck pulled up to a gate that was opened and then closed behind us (have to protect us from the animals). We continue reading Wild Africa Trek – Lunch and the end of our Trek … Today we have something special! A Guest Post! Kris & Kevin (K2) joined us on Thanksgiving Day for all of our Adventures. Kris has beat us to the punch by writing up her impressions and thoughts. Thank you so very much for contributing! Disney Does It Right! 🙂 I’ve been saying that for 25 years continue reading Thanksgiving Day – Guest Post from Kris … |
