Japan is a thunderclap of pure, distilled Amazing. The sights, sounds, and people leave me stunned and amazed every time. Tokyo is New York City to the nth power, but spotless and filled with the nicest, most respectful people I have ever met. I try to look beyond the city limits from floor-to-ceiling windows in New York Bar […]

Jock Lindsey’s Hangar Bar at Disney Springs
Jock Lindsey’s, an Indiana Jones-themed bar, is now my favorite bar at Walt Disney World and this is why. You can’t beat the view—watch a sunset from the open deck as water taxis and 1960s amphibious cars ferry guests back and forth over the bay. Vintage-inspired cocktails hit the spot—The Bitter Barkeep shakes together Barsol […]
A Dapper Day and Epcot Intl Food and Wine Festival 2015
DAPPER DAY A few friends and spruced up for Dapper Day 2015, when Disney fans dress up in fancy duds and enjoy Disney Parks in vintage style. As proper Dapper Daisies, we strolled down Sunset Boulevard, took in the Grauman’s Chinese Theatre, and appreciated classic cinema on the Great Movie Ride Presented by TCM. The Citizens of […]
Highlights: Epcot Flower and Garden Festival 2013
Florida Fresh and other familiar Epcot International Food and Wine Festival booths make welcomed appearances at this year’s Flower and Garden Festival. The cover bands and stellar topiaries are fun, but spotlighting each country’s seasonal fare is a big plus! Mr. Forkful and I wandered counterclockwise around the World Showcase. First was Florida Fresh with […]
Siro Urban Italian Kitchen in Lake Buena Vista
Tucked away in the back corner of the Marriott World Resort lobby is Orlando’s newest Italian restaurant helmed by Chef Greg Picard and Chef Anthony Burdo. The casual, open layout with rustic wood-top tables and warm lighting was inviting. The long table layered from end-to-end with antipasti and dark wood full-service bar didn’t hurt either. […]
Quick Bite: Epcot Canadian Beers
Not all the Festival beers are at the Canada Marketplace. Le Cellier features Sapporo Holdings Limited’s Unibroue ales from Chambly in Quebec, Canada, on their menu year-round. Once a year, three of those beers come out to play at the Canadian popcorn wagon. Once these Unibroue brews are gone from the wagon, they will only be […]
Gulf Wild at Fulton’s Crab House
Jason Delacruz and many other Florida Gulf Coast fisherman want to change the way wild-caught fish are harvested from the Gulf of Mexico. Sustainable, safely-caught seafood is the focus. Uniquely numbered gill tags make individual fish easily trackable right down to the men who pull them from the water. Fisherman, dealers, and consumers can be […]
Food Blog Forum Orlando 2012: Finale
The Food Blog Forum attendees took a break from learning for a mini Party for the Senses in the World ShowPlace, which is located inside Epcot in that odd little gap on the right just after the Canada Pavilion. The building beyond the gates is an event space for anything from galas, to luncheons, to […]
Food Blog Forum Orlando 2012 in Two Parts
Disney, Food, and Knowledge Forkful launched one year ago this month with one ongoing goal: to continue to grow and learn about writing, photography, and sharing the food experience. I just missed last year’s Food Blog Forum, but I was able to attend this year’s event. Over 100 eager food bloggers converged on the Walt […]
Biergarten Restaurant in Epcot
One of the best, affordable Disney luncheons is the lunch buffet at the Biergarten. Approximately $28 dollars gets an adult guest an unlimited smorgasbord of German staples like snitzel, sauerkraut, brautwursts, and beef roast including fountain drinks. Sorry beer fans, amber-filled steins are extra. The best part is that people with late lunch reservations can […]
