After awhile of going booth to booth at the Epcot International Flower and Garden Festival, I get tired of full rundowns of each and every booth and just want to cut to the chase and tell you what’s good. What I would be heartbroken to know you missed if you left Flower & Garden without trying.
And so here’s the post where I let you benefit from my research and save you a bunch of potential money, calories, and stomach space by telling you which SAVORY food items I loved the most at Flower & Garden 2019 – in no particular order, since they’re all good and sometimes it just depends what you’re in the mood to eat.
