serious question, who like eating food and wine? this event sounds like its for old people who eat crackers and watch tucker carlson and go to bed at 6pm screaming at the tv or something idk
 
hahahah another will smith joke now that is something i have never seen in my life and really enjoyed, nice comedic jab @RollyCoaster !

ngl this event is hella mid, they should just do an event called trimfest where the turn off the mcbr on all the coasters and make restraints optional. would anyone prefer this over the lame ass boring food and snooze event?

You can't be serious. The Food and Wine Festival is incredibly popular both here and in the Florida parks! Alcohol is the reason that this park exists in the first place!

From my understanding, it’s one of the highest grossing events the park does. The only thing “trimfest” would do is draw thoosies, who make up 0.00001% of park attendance.

@Nicole and I wrote about some encouraging trends we noticed in this year's Food & Wine announcement. If you're a fan of theme park food events, you should actually be pretty excited about this year!

My first two items of F&W are done. The snag on the Barbie is ok but not really anything more then a good Brat in my opinion. The Lambchop is really good with the sauce having just a slight bite to it. My only complaint is that I think the serving is a little small for that $10 price point.

I bought a sampler card and they are already having issues with them not working. Really hoping that the multiple failed attempts don't register later and cost me items.

Is that only 1 chop in the serving? I was excited when the pic on the BGW website clearly showed 2 in the menu listings.

Just a note. Price points may not have significantly inflated from last year but portion sizes seem to have deflated some from last year. Honestly I think this was to be expected and is understandable at the moment.

We conducted our tasting this weekend and our comprehensive review will be out soon. In the meantime, one piece of advice: under no circumstances should anyone order the Alfredo from the Italy booth.

I was going to get it but the booths closed before I could.
 
What time do the food kiosks open? Last year, even though the park opened at 10 the booths didn't open until noon.
 
Just home from F&W today. It was a total disaster. Bought the 10 sampler card at VA and headed towards Italy. Japan and Italy weren't open at 11:30. Headed towards Jamaica for the Gumba Fritters. Nope, no luck. At 12:45 they didn't have any. Finally made it to Spain and tried to use the sampler card and the card didn't work at all. Back to GS and they told my wife literally, "It's not our problem". Told her to go back where we bought it and get it straight with them. So, by now it's close to 1:30 and stopped at Hawaii to get the spam. Nope, no spam. At that point we left. Only used 2 punches on the card at Greece. If this keeps up all month, I doubt we'll even use the entire card.

This is just ridiculous! Asked for a different one and was told no. Almost no meat what so ever. At 10.50 if it wasn't my daily free item I would be livid.
