Try delicious new food at the 22nd Annual Food & Wine Festival

Walt Disney World recently announced the 22nd Annual Epcot International Food & Wine Festival will run for 75 days, opening August 31 and continuing through November 13.  

And as if that wasn’t exciting enough, to celebrate the park’s opening 35 years ago in 1982, there will be a record 35 Marketplaces stretching around World Showcase and into Future World.  

Chefs are currently hard at work creating the menus for the many new Marketplaces, paired with wines, beers and ciders. They have already released a few dishes including the crispy chicken with riddled cornbread and red-eye gravy for the Farm Fresh Marketplace. The spicy Korma

Chicken with cucumber-tomato salad, almonds, cashews and warm naan bread from the India Marketplace is also a must-try. Spain will be serving up the charcuterie in a cone and for a little sweet treat travel to India for the pistachio cardamom cake with a dollop of chocolate coconut mousse.

You can also watch celebrity chefs in action at lively cooking seminars, Eat to the Beat concerts and much more. Returning to this year’s festival is the Ratatouille-inspired scavenger hunt as well as culinary demos geared towards kids’ palates.
