and if by schedule you mean menu. too bad you can't get all those items at one park. From Robert Niles on July 21, 2008 at 11:58 AM
Is it possible to gain weight while reading a website? Mmmmm.... From Anthony J on July 21, 2008 at 12:05 PM
I've actually done some damage on that list. :) But I won't be trying Gyoza Dogs until December! From John Zucchero on July 21, 2008 at 12:11 PM
Go Dole Whip! Those 2 words together just makes me hungry for one (not sure if hungry is the correct term for Ice Cream, but you know what I mean). From mark lacey on July 21, 2008 at 12:14 PM
For me whenever I visit WDW from the UK the thing I look forward to most is the Dole Whip and fresh pineapple juice form adventureland, heaven on a really hot day! My wife always looks forward to a Casey's hot dog. From Dan Rosenberg on July 21, 2008 at 1:24 PM
I've got to go with the pot roast when we vote next monday. It was just awesome. From Brian Creedon on July 21, 2008 at 2:28 PM
This may be too broad of a spectrum for this tournament, snacks vs entrees? Should not be on the same field? Would have been more interesting to break it up into 4 separate tournaments featuring each of the categories, snacks, desserts, entrees and maybe the 4th could be beverages? Then had the winner of each of these categories go head to head in a battle of the champions. Just a thought. From Robert Niles on July 21, 2008 at 2:43 PM
Maybe next year.... From Anthony Murphy on July 21, 2008 at 3:43 PM
I am going with the Grapefruit Cake. It has always been a great dessert and not too sweet and not too bitter. It also has some great history behind it since the first Brown Derby is gone!

I love the grapefruit cake at the BD, BUT it has gone through some recipe changes and the original (I guess the first time I tried it was 2000) was more moist and the frosting was a tad different. If you ask a server they will reluctantly confirm this. From Rob P on July 22, 2008 at 12:36 AM
I know it's impossible to include every purveyor of food in this but how did the Flame Tree BBQ and Pecos Bill's not get a mention ???.

Banana Chocolate Gooey Cake FTW From Dwight Graham on July 23, 2008 at 6:47 PM
How can any other food item compete or even come close in a competition with 'Free Beer' at Busch Gardens. ...OK, maybe it's just a guy thing ! This article has been archived and is no longer accepting comments. |
