Worthy items, all of them! THANKS very much for all your effort and voting over the last few weeks, my friends!

So, why did we do all of this work? Let me ask you this … if you’re lucky enough to attend Epcot’s 2015 “bash”, are you going to be able to buy and eat that much food? Of course, not!

How about this … have you ever gone into a restaurant and been handed a 50-page menu of items to choose from? Has it taken you 45 minutes to “weed” through all of their options?

In the above list, you’ve already done all of that “weeding”! The above list are your pre-festival recommendations for anyone who attends the 2015 Epcot International Food & Wine Festival!

Now, there’s just one last task to complete. I need a few volunteers for this one. Who is up to the challenge? Who, amongst us, is a true “foodie”? Who is willing to take this Top 25 and rank it in order?!

If you’re craving a bit more fun, email me at bob@allinwdw.com. I’ll send you a spreadsheet listing these 25 gems. Your job will be to “drag and drop” them into order from 1 to 25!

C’mon! Volunteer! You know you have an appetite for a little more Food & Wine fun!
