Farm Fresh – 2016 Epcot Food and Wine Festival

Farm Fresh Review – 2016 Epcot Food and Wine Festival

The Farm fresh booth has been such a hit lately that this year it’s back again in 2016.  I can’t wait to try all the good offerings, especially the Loaded Mac ‘n’ Cheese with, wait for it…Pepper Bacon, Cheddar Cheese, Peppers and Green Onions!!  Mmmmm, I never can say no to a Mac and Cheese and this one is no exception.

Booth:

I actually really like the styling of the Farm Fresh kiosk.  I love the colors, the way the wood in designed and the metal roof is great!

Menu review:

I feel like this is a very solid menu.  The Loaded Mac ‘n’ Cheese with Pepper Bacon, Cheddar Cheese, Peppers and Green Onions is Fantastic.  I highly recommend it!  It’s a good size portion, creamy cheese and lots of nice chunks of bacon in there, really great.  It is however my second favorite Mac and Cheese at Food and Wine this year, my number one is over in Germany.  Overall a great dish though and would eat it over and over again!

The Chicken Dumplings were solid offering, nothing special.  Portion size was ok, and so was the flavor with the cream and mushrooms.  I don’t dislike it, but it wasn’t special like the Mac and Cheese.  The Beet salad, well is Beet salad.  If you like that kind of thing that’s great, you are probably a much healthier person than me, but next year I’m hoping for something a little more inventive.

For the drinks the Cidar is a nice refreshing option, especially on a hot Florida day, and is also a nice size at $3.75 or $4.00.

Booth Summary and Grade:

The Farm Fresh is always a good location with some great options.  The Mac and Cheese is great, the chicken pretty solid and you can skip the beets.  Cidars good option as well.  Great vibe though from the kiosk, love the atmosphere!

If you have to get just one thing: Loaded Mac ‘n’ Cheese

Grade: 8
