Epcot's Food & Wine Festival = YUMMILICIOUS

Two days later and at least five pounds heavier, the Food and Wine Festival was incredible!

During the day, we hit up Epcot for three hours of solid eating and drinking. Each country had about 2 to 3 entrees, a couple desserts, and drinks. I can't narrow down my favorite food but my favorite drink was by far the Green Tea Plum Wine Cooler from Shanghai, China. Some of my peeps said it was too sweet but let me tell you, that drink was perfect!

We left Epcot around 3, did some quick shopping, showered and chnaged for the Party for the Senses. Enter...amazing-ness!We waited about 30 minutes before they opened the curtains and made a mad dash to secure a table. With my wine glass and plate in hand, we took turns going to each station of Asian cuisine. My favorite, favorite dish was the Thai Braised Duck in a Crisp Wonton. That was incredible. I had two but I would've had more if my tummy could fit it.

There was so many good dishes, I could've eaten for a whole week. The desserts were amazing. The wine, I heard, was really good too. The last thing I had was a Green Tea Mint Iced Tea...soooooo good!

Last but not least...we met Chef Robert Irvine from Food Network's Dinner Impossible!! I won't lie, I didn't know his name but I definately recognized him. He was so nice and served us a delicious Miso and Honey Glazed Sea Bass. D wanted to take a pic with him and so did I (too chicken to ask myself) but we actually did. Of course, D ended up talking to the man for a good 15-20 minutes...he's such a social butterfly. I, on the other hand, was star struck (haha).
