Flower & Garden Festival: Food & Beverage Offerings

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. – Set among millions of blossoms, classic topiaries and live entertainment, garden-themed food and beverage offerings returned for the 21st Epcot International Flower & Garden Festival, which began on March 5 and will last until May 18, 2014 at Walt Disney World Resort. Back for a second festival year, the 11 food and beverage marketplaces have been dubbed Outdoor Kitchens, where chefs will be cooking a variety of new and popular returning menu items, including vegetarian and gluten-free dishes.

At The Smokehouse: Barbecue and Brews Outdoor Kitchen, Piggylicious Bacon Cupcakes and Smoked Turkey Ribs are on tap with a lineup of great brews. Last year’s top menu picks like the Watermelon Salad with local baby arugula, feta cheese, pickled red onions and balsamic reduction will return for an encore at the Florida Fresh Outdoor Kitchen.

Urban Farm Eats will be the new Outdoor Kitchen on the promenade with a sustainable garden featuring tilapia, eggplant and other farm-raised treats.
