You Seriously Do NOT Want To Miss the NEW Snack at Connections Eatery in EPCOT

Connections Cafe and Eatery is part of this year’s EPCOT Food & Wine Festival with a couple of special items!

Connections Eatery

Connections is another one of the of the permanent snack locations that also join in on the festival fun with exclusive, limited-time snacks, and since they’re in EPCOT year-round, you might not know about those special eats! Come with us to check out this year’s TWO offerings!

Over at Connections Cafe and Eatery, you’ll find TWO new Food & Wine Festival items! A Korean BBQ Chicken Sandwich with pickled cucumbers on a brioche bun, and one drink that is ONLY at the Eatery, a Blackberry Caipiroska made with Tito’s Handmade Vodka, Minute Maid Lemonade, strawberries blackberry syrup, and frosted mint syrup.

Eats

We picked up the Korean BBQ Chicken Sandwich with pickled cucumbers on a brioche bun for $12.49. This was INCREDIBLE! It’s got a great glazed flavor that the chicken is totally coated in, and we love that it’s sitting on a total bed of pickles that have a great snap to them.

Korean BBQ Chicken Sandwich

The textures of the chicken and pickles together were fantastic, and the way the glaze matched with them? Amazing. We do need to mention, though, that the sauce has a low heat to it, so keep that in mind if you’re totally spice-averse. It’s nothing crazy, and it’s not going to make you need to reach for water or feel like your mouth is burning, but it is there!

Drinks

We also checked out the Blackberry Caipiroska, which is made with Tito’s Handmade Vodka, Minute Maid Lemonade, strawberries, blackberry syrup, and frosted mint syrup for $15. This one was so good that we would LOVE to see it return for EPCOT’s Flower and Garden Festival, too!

Blackberry Caipiroska

It’s very subtle and very floral — it reminds us of a drink you’d get together with your girlfriends to make for your afternoon get-together! You can’t really taste any of the alcohol in it since the floral and fruity flavors are stronger, so beware of that while drinking. We loved it so much that we think it deserves an honorable mention on our Best of the Fest list!

OVERALL

Overall, this is an extremely strong location for Food and Wine, and we encourage you to stop by and give both offerings a try if they’re something you would enjoy! We know the actual festival booths are often more of the main event at festivals, but this is a perfect example of why it may be a mistake to totally bypass these permanent locations with festival offerings — we definitely will be coming back to grab both the sandwich and the drink at LEAST once throughout the rest of the festival.

They both were SO good!

That’s it for this booth, but there’s a LOT more where that came from!
