WINE: Festival Found

1 05 2008

Theme Park means park food.  Disney World is just for kids.  And Disney sommelier?  Well, that’s just an oxymoron, right?  You wouldn’t be alone if you thought so, but you’d better think again.

Last October my wife and I attended Walt Disney World’s 12th Annual International Food & Wine Festival at the Epcot World Showcase.  By day we visited attractions and attended the festival.  By night we feasted in as many of the Signature Dining establishments as we could get reservations in.  We had an absolutely amazing time, and I’ve been blogging about it ever since.

Please join me now for a series already in progress that began here.

Today, I wandered over to the local burrito stand in honor of a little si se puedeness. My coworkers were shocked. “Where are your sugar snap peas?!” What can I say? I like me some ‘rito. No taco trucks near by so I couldn’t support our local mobile taco vendors. Remember, carne asada is not a sin. Ms. Molina, what were you thinking?

On Monday, I went out to Los Feliz and had lunch with my brother at Niko Niko on Vermont.

The lighting was a bit infuriating, but no doubt about it, the seaweed was delish. Thank goodness for Photoshop.

And going even further back in time…
