A Look Back At Food & Wine

Well, Epcot's International Food & Wine Festival is officially over. It lasted from September 28 to today. With MGM's and Animal Kingdom's ridiculously short schedules and the Magic Kingdom's inconsistent times due to the Halloween Party, I found myself spending a lot of time at Epcot over the last month and a half. And with so much time spent there, I got to sample almost every booth at Food & Wine. There were only a handful that I didn't try. Here is a list of all the things I ate at Food & Wine.

- Grilled Beef with Chimichurri Sauce

- Quesadilla con Chorizo

I think my favorite thing in the whole festival was the maple custard at Canada. OMG, it was divine! This was my first time taking part in Food & Wine and overall, it was a good experience. I gotta admit, Epcot's going to feel a lot emptier without all the booths. But the Christmas decorations are now going up. And those are even better... though you can't eat those.
