Thank you

One of the best things I ate on this last trip (just back Saturday) was the Pecan cake with maple whipped cream at Magnolia Terrace by the American Experience. Pralines, pecans, caramel...I'm drooling just thinking of it.

That sounds delicious!

We really love all the topiaries and flowers and had some good foods. There were some duds we tried but there were some bright spots. Oddly enough the spicy hot dog at pineapple promenade, also there, the violet lemonade. We also liked the fruit loop shake and avocado toast at sunshine griddle. We skipped around a lot and we were just so full and sweaty that it was hard to stuff our faces but I am always willing to try stuff I ordinarily wouldn't since it's not a full meal and we usually share/mix and match.

Frushi. I didn't think I would like it as much as I did! The violet lemonade was good too. Otherwise everything else I could try was kidna meh

Everything at the Mexico booth was delicious!

Ditto, frushi was different, didn't care for the fruit with rice and the wrapper. Odd combo.

If they have the butterfly garden this year, that is always an awesome place to visit

For anyone that has gone recently, are all the flowers and topiaries still beautiful? We had to cancel our Anniversary trip the first weekend of May because I fell and broke my arm. Rescheduled for 4th of July weekend and I know that's the last weekend of the festival. Was wondering if some things are already removed or some things may not be as brilliant now? TIA!

We found the best food to be hidden back in the World Showplace tent.

The flowers and topiaries are our highlight as well. We found a few really good foods, but a lot was average. Still interesting to try.

I really enjoyed the frushi- wish I could get more of it somewhere close to home. My wife and I really liked the fried cinnamon roll bites at sunshine griddle- but we really really love cinnamon flavored anything. The seared salmon with farro risotto we thought was very tasty at flavor full kitchen. The mini funnel cake had great flavor with its lemon cheesecake ice cream. Frozen lemonade with moonshine and the pink lemonade hard cider both in world showplace.

My DH and DD got the cheesecake multiple times from the honey cart. They couldn’t stop raving about it.

• By Test track
  • Shrimp and Grits: Blackened Shrimp and Cheddar Cheese Grits with Brown Gravy and Sweet Corn Salsa
  • Corned Beef Brisket Hash with House-made Potato Barrels, Onions, Peppers, Cheese Curds, and a Soft-poached Egg with Tabasco Hollandaise
  • Fried Cinnamon Roll Bites with Cream Cheese Frosting and Candied Bacon
• Mexico
  • Tostada de Cochinita: Braised Pork on a Crispy Corn Tortilla with Black Beans topped with Pickled Onions, Mango-Habanero Relish, and Oregano

These were so good we went back multiple times for them

Crispy fired pork belly and lobster salad at Citrus Blossom, Brisket Sliders at Festival Favorites. Skip the fried green tomatoes there-loved them last year, awful this year. Loved the street corn in Trowel and Trellis, but after the crispy pork belly ,and brisket sliders, we thought the Korean "short ribs" everyone was raving about were kind of meh- Also the fruishi wasn't as good to us as usual.

Vampiro taco at the Mexico booth was the best thing I ate.

 

[GeneralTso]

We realized the food booths at F&G are just as good as the ones at F&W. Seriously.
Plus it's extremely beautiful!

I really like the butterfly house and I think it's worth checking out. I wish they'd make it a permanent thing as opposed to it only being there during the festival.
