Introducing… the BEST of the FEST!!
BEST of the 2019 DCA Food and Wine Festival
Shrimp Boil Tacos with Andouille Sausage and Fresh Corn at Off the Cob
We found the Shrimp Boil Tacos at Off the Cob.
Shrimp Boil Tacos with Andouille Sausage and Fresh Corn
These are gluten-free (!!) and the the shrimp, sausage, and fresh corn are classic seaside flavors together!
Esquites Sweet Corn Nuggets with Bacon Lardons at Off the Cob
Esquites Sweet Corn Nuggets with Bacon Lardons is on the menu at Off the Cob. Look at that bacon!
Esquites Sweet Corn Nuggets with Bacon Lardons
Reminding us of delicious pub grub, we recommend these sweet and savory corn nuggets.
Creamy Mac & Cheese with Garlic Bread Crumble at Garlic Kissed
The Creamy Mac & Cheese is a returning favorite and this comfort food can be found at Garlic Kissed.
Creamy Mac & Cheese with Garlic Bread Crumble
One of the many vegetarian dishes at this year’s festival, the garlic bread crumble is generous.
Harris Ranch Grilled Beef Tenderloin Slider with Chimichurri Sauce at Cluck-A-Doodle-Moo
At Cluck-A-Doodle-Moo , sample this really great Slider!
Harris Ranch Grilled Beef Tenderloin Slider with Chimichurri Sauce
The beef tenderloin is flavorful and not too dry. And we love the addition of the Chimichurri Sauce.
Salt and Vinegar Parmesan Chicken Wings at Cluck-A-Doodle-Moo
With a name like Cluck-A-Doodle-Moo , this kiosk is especially fun!
Salt and Vinegar Parmesan Chicken Wings
The Salt and Vinegar Parmesan Chicken Wings are one of our favorite savory items. If you didn’t try them last year, don’t pass them up again.
Deconstructed Teriyaki Chicken Musubi with Pineapple Relish at Golden Dreams
DO NOT MISS Golden Dreams! The Deconstructed Teriyaki Chicken Musibi with Pineapple Relish (and, frankly, everything else) impressed us at the new booth.
Deconstructed Teriyaki Chicken Musubi
Musubi is super popular in Disneyland right now (we’ve seen other versions at Tangaroa Terrace and Bengal Barbecue). This dish was a great surprise!
Anaheim Chile Relleno Bites with Salsa Verde at Golden Dreams
Another vegetarian option, the Anaheim Chile Relleno Bites with Salsa Verde is served at Golden Dreams.
Anaheim Chile Relleno Bites
These are crazy flavorful — rich, cheesy, and savory!
Chocolate-Peanut-Caramel Parfait at Golden Dreams
One of our favorite festival sweets, the Chocolate-Peanut-Caramel Parfait is also at Golden Dreams.
Chocolate Peanut Caramel Parfait
Another gluten-free option, this dessert is delicious! It’s basically a deconstructed Snickers Bar in an adorable little cup! GET IT.
Fiscalini White Cheddar Lager Soup served in a Mini Boudin Sourdough Bowl at Nuts About Cheese
The Soup at Nuts About Cheese is another winner! Basically, if anything is ever served in a bread bowl at a DCA festival you can almost guarantee it’s going to be on our list. They’re all amazing!
Fiscalini White Cheddar Lager Soup served in a Mini Boudin Sourdough Bowl
This basically tastes like a ton of cheese melted with an equally large amount of cream…so if that’s your think like it is mine, go for this!
Ham and Vella Jack Cheese Pinwheel with Smoked Pistachios at Nuts about Cheese
We couldn’t wait to dig into the Ham and Vella Jack Cheese Pinwheel with Smoked Pistachios at Nuts About Cheese!
Ham and Vella Jack Cheese Pinwheel with Smoked Pistacios
The super flaky pastry packed with smokey and flavorful ham and that rich sharp cheese is doused in what seems like more of that cheese soup from the bread bowl! The whole thing means a flavor explosion in your mouth! I predict this will be one of the MUST-GETS from this year’s festival!
Meyer Lemon Ginger Mule at Citrus Grove
Cool and refreshing, the Meyer Lemon Ginger Mule continues to wow us at Citrus Grove.
Meyer Lemon Ginger Mule
Once again, the pucker from the lemon and the zest from the ginger make this drink memorable. Cheers!
Strawberry Float with Vanilla Ice Cream, Whipped Cream, and Crunchy Cereal Garnish at Berry Basket
At Berry Basket, it was love at first sight — AND first TASTE — with this Strawberry Float.
Strawberry Float with Vanilla Ice Cream, Whipped Cream, and Crunchy Cereal Garnish
Yes, it’s super sweet. Basically a bunch of ice cream doused in strawberry jam, so be prepared. But the strawberry flavor is powerful! Plus, Cap’n Crunch. You’re kids will be crazy for this one!
Ghost Pepper Mac & Cheese with Chili Cheese Corn Chip Dust at Peppers Cali-Ente
With hot frito dush and Ghost Pepper (oh my!!), the Mac & Cheese really caught our attention at Peppers Cali-Ente.
Ghost Pepper Mac and Cheese
While it’s spicy, it’s not “kick you in the throat” spicy, so it should be accessible to just about everyone except the MOST spice averse folks. Pair it with the lovely jalapeno margarita and it’s a great match!
That’s our Best of the Fest! So, what’s on YOUR list to try?
