This past Friday I was lucky enough to preview all of the fantastic treats that are coming to Epcot's Food & Wine Festival this year.
Food & Wine Festival is just around the corner and there are so many new dishes to try. I had the pleasure of speaking with Al Youngman the Culinary Director at Epcot who gave us an inside look at everything new and revamped coming to Food and Wine. You don't want to miss out on these dishes!
