Food and Flowers at Epcot International Flower & Garden Festival

The Epcot International Flower & Garden Festival is known for, well, flowers and gardens. Don’t forget they also have outdoor kitchens. You will have 75 days to chow down and learn from March 4-May 17.

This year marks the 3rd years for the Outdoor Kitchens around the World Showcase Lagoon. You will not find huge portions it’s more tapas, or appetizer sized food and beverages. There is a new addition this year called Botanas Botánico Outdoor Kitchen. It will be located between the France and Morocco pavilions. They will have yummy treats like Cachapas with Farmer’s Cheese, a sweet yellow corn pancake, and Seafood Ceviche with shrimp, scallops and grouper with mango and avocado.

“It’s so much fun coming up with creative new flavors to wow our guests,” says Chef Gregg Hannon, Epcot executive chef. He mentions Beef Brisket Burnt Ends Hash with White Cheddar Fondue and Pickled Jalapeños at The Smokehouse: Barbecue and Brews Outdoor Kitchen, and the Quinoa Vegetable Naanwich with arugula pesto and oven-dried tomatoes at Urban Farm Eats.

There will be a lot inspired by fruits and veggies, like:

The Frozen Desert Violet Lemonade, Sparkling Pineapple Wine and Berry Tea Cocktail at Pineapple Promenade

The Macaron Guimauve à la Fraise (strawberry marshmallow macaron) at the Fleur De Lys

The vegetarian Falafel with Cucumber Tomato Salad and Tahini at Taste of Marrakesh

Frushi (fresh pineapple, strawberry and melon rolled with raspberry coconut rice, sprinkled with toasted coconut and whipped cream) at Hanami
