One of my favorite things to do in the spring is to visit Epcot for the Epcot Flower and Garden Festival<\/a>. It’s become one of my favorite events that Walt Disney World offers and it includes a myriad of activities. From viewing the beautiful topiaries and lush gardens, to taking part in unique tours, to activities for kids, to the most important, delicious food and beverage choices<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I got to visit during the first weekend and took in a few of the treats that are being offered. The best part about all of them is that I actually recommend all of them! They were all quite yummy and I don’t think you’ll regret trying any of them.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

First I started out with the new\u00a0Macaron au Chocolat en Sucette from the Fleur de Lys booth at the France Pavilion. This is really a large Chocolate Macaron Lollipop. This is a chocolate lover’s dream! It’s fantastic, decently sized and has a nice crunchy shell and creamy inside.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The next booth I stopped at was the Florida Fresh booth. I tried the Spicy Blackened Shrimp and Stone-ground Cheddar Cheese Grits with Brown Gravy and Local Sweet Corn Relish. Again, this was quite good. The shrimp had their tails on, which I was a little disappointed with. However, that was my only disappointment. The shrimp certainly had some kick to it and the accompaniments were a great mix to it.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The final booth I stopped at was The Smokehouse. This booth is hands down, my favorite booth at the Epcot Flower and Garden Festival. Every single thing on the menu is a winner, but this time I got the new\u00a0Beef Brisket Burnt Ends and Smoked Pork Belly Slider with Garlic Sausage, Chorizo, Cheddar Fondue and House-made Pickle. Holy wow! This was fantastic. It was a decent size portion with a ton of meat. I loved that the bread had been grilled too. The cheddar fondue was fantastic. I could totally go for one of these right now.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Finally, I went with my favorite dessert at this festival and that’s the\u00a0Warm Chocolate Cake with Bourbon-Salted Caramel Sauce and Spiced Pecans. This is an incredibly moist, chocolatey delight. The caramel adds a nice buttery flavor and the pecans are quite a nice crunch.<\/p>\n

This won’t be my only stop at this year’s Epcot Flower and Garden Festival. I’ll also be there the last weekend, which is a nice bookend, don’t you think?<\/p>\n
