Review: A Taste of Disney’s Hollywood Studios Sampler from Superstar Catering Food Truck

By 10 Comments

We’re back today with another fun stop in to the Disney Food Truck scene at Disney World’s (soon-to-be) Disney Springs!

Even with all the crazy happening in this corner of the World (and maybe because of it), the Food Trucks are going gangbusters.

You’ll usually find them tucked neatly into their homebase at Exposition Park beside Starbucks, although occasionally they’re dispatched to other spots. Sometimes, you’ll even find them at resorts.

But I found them right where I expected to the day we visited to check out some new eats. [Read more…]

We’ve tasted some truly delicious treats this week — Peanut Butter Pie, anyone? — but that’s just the tip of the iceberg.

Details also continue to emerge about two of Fall’s hottest Disney food events — the 2015 Epcot Food and Wine Festival and the Swan and Dolphin Food and Wine Classic. The latter takes place over the course of one weekend during the Festival — which lasts more than seven weeks!

I know you’re anxious to get all the info, so let’s get to it!

News: Full Menus Announced for the 2015 Swan and Dolphin Food and Wine Classic

By 10 Comments

While we’ve been focusing on all the excitement that Fall brings for Disney Food Fans, we have another fun event to update you about — the 2015 Swan and Dolphin Food and Wine Classic!

The two-night event, back by popular demand for the sixth year in a row, will once again take place over Halloween Weekend in 2015. Mark your calendars for Friday, October 30, and Saturday, October 31!

The Swan and Dolphin Food and Wine Classic is made up of two components: Seminars and the Causeway. Seminars center around learning more about food and beverage in a fun, interactive way. For more details on this year’s Food and Wine Classic Seminars, be sure to check out our Food and Wine Classic Seminar Page.

But guests stay and play for the evening on the Causeway!

If you’re new to the Food and Wine Classic, the Causeway is a collection of food and beverage booths set up in the walkway that links the Swan and Dolphin Resorts. Every single restaurant from both the Swan and Dolphin — all nine! — participate, and bring tapas-sized eats to the party. Chef Robert Ciborowski, the executive chef of the Swan and Dolphin Resort, also prepares some dishes in Cib’s Smoke Shop.

Recipe: Chickpea, Cucumber, and Tomato Salad from Harambe Market at Disney’s Animal Kingdom

By 3 Comments

We have a recipe for the perfect, cool-you-down side dish from one of Disney’s newest dining spots.

"It Is Hot Today"

“It Is Hot Today”

Harambe Market, the new counter service food court-style walk up eatery at Disney’s Animal Kingdom, features a variety of hearty main dishes and interesting sides. The focus is on the traditional, complex use of herbs and spices in African cuisine.

If you’re looking for something a little out of the ordinary to take to a summer picnic, this fresh salad of Chickpeas, Cucumber, and Tomato comes together in a snap and requires only minutes of cooking. At Harambe Market, the salad is served with the Dreamy Spice-rubbed Karubi Ribs, but it would be pair nicely with any meat. Or it would make a hearty, vegetarian entree on its own.

Be prepared to hunt down a few exotic ingredients, and give it time to marinate so that the flavors mix and deepen.

Epcot Food and Wine Festival Recipe: Kefta From the Morocco Booth

By Leave a Comment

The 2015 Epcot Food and Wine Festival is coming up quickly!

food and wine festival logo

And one of my favorite ways to prep for the Festival is to make some of my favorite dishes from the Marketplace Booths. My family has been having a ton of fun trying new variations on burgers this Summer — and I think this Kefta from the Morocco Marketplace Booth is the perfect one to try next.

While the flavor is exotic, there’s nothing here that you can’t find in your local grocery! And if you, like AJ, despise the Cilantro that the recipe calls for, just double up on the Parsley.

I’m sharing this with you, and then I’m heading [Read more…]
