Let me take you through some pictures of the dishes we tasted…
This is the braised short rib with plantain puree from the culinary team from Universal Orlando. They had such a fun and interactive set-up this year. A Dinosaur and intricately carved pineapple heads and melon carvings as well. The whole staff was really friendly and their food was splendid!
Gaylord Palms had some tasty dishes from their MOOR and Old Hickory Steakhouse restaurants. Pork Belly with watermelon slaw and Grilled Peaches. Not mention the refreshing libation they had of Bourbon with honey and lime. Cheers to that!
Disney’s Artist Point at Wilderness Lodge Resort had it on point with their dessert. Yuzu hen egg custard with hibiscus, sorrel and lingonberry. Such a pretty presentation and all the flavors worked so well together.
Loved the Orlando World Marriott’s display this year. Such a cool and fun concept. The Rock n Roll Cafe had some yummy desserts!
The event’s popular Instant Wine Cellar game awarded more than 150 bottles of wine valued at more than $2,500 to the person who purchased the winning key that opened the locked wine door.
The Giving Tree, sponsored by Edible Orlando, returned for the second year rewarding 100 lucky participants with a taste of Orlando’s most popular dining and drinking establishments. For a $50 donation, each participant walked away with a gift certificate ranging from $25 to $300 in value.
I really hope this post makes you want to come out and join us for next year’s event. All of this glorious food is included in your ticket to the event and the best part is all the proceeds go to an amazing cause to end childhood hunger. I can’t wait to go again next year and I really hope I see you in 2017! For more information http://ce.strength.org/orlando
