## Resource

We take on the EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival with a fun challenge inspired by our friend Jon Self. Jon recently shared his list of what he considers the best and worst dishes at this year’s festival, and instead of just reading his thoughts… we decided to put them to the test ourselves. Here’s the twist: we grabbed all eight items from Jon’s list and set out around EPCOT to try every single one of them — without knowing which dishes he loved and which ones he thought were the worst. That means every reaction you hear is completely honest and happening in real time. As we make our way from booth to booth, we taste each dish live and share our immediate thoughts on everything from flavor and presentation to portion size and more. Along the way we talk about which dishes surprised us, which ones didn’t quite live up to the hype, and which ones we’d absolutely order again on our next visit. If you’re planning a trip to the Flower & Garden Festival, this episode should give you a great idea of which dishes might be worth your time and which ones you may want to skip. And of course, as always, we have plenty of fun (and a few laughs) along the way.
