<\/a><\/p>\nThe outside of the patty \u2014 made with \u201cancient grains,\u201d mushrooms and leeks \u2014 was crispy and crunchy, almost like a fried chicken sandwich. Diced mushrooms elevated the earthy, savory flavor of the patty. I was curious (and a little hesitant) about the smoked berry aioli and what it would taste like, but its subtle sweetness and tanginess complemented the burger scrumptiously. Additionally, the pickled cucumbers added a snappy mouthfeel to each bite. Last but not least, the pumpernickel Kaiser bun was sturdy yet soft \u2014 just the right density and size to hold the burger and toppings together.<\/p>\n
Note: the burger also came with a pile of arugula, which tastes like dirt to me (sorry, arugula fans!). So I removed it from the burger upon receiving it. If you\u2019re a fan of arugula, I\u2019m sure it would enhance the burger\u2019s flavor profile.<\/p>\n
The fries on the side were fine. Nothing extraordinary.<\/p>\n
Weeks later, I\u2019m still thinking about this burger. It was a game-changer for me and has redefined what I consider to be a stellar plant-based burger.<\/p>\n
Vegan Dog at Comet Dogs \u2014 Epic Universe<\/p>\n
I scarfed down this vegan hog dog at the Comet Dogs stand so fast that I forgot to take a photo.<\/p>\n
The hot dog is a Field Roast-brand plant-based stadium dog<\/a>. The \u201cdog\u201d has a smoky profile and a snap similar to a real hot dog. But the fun doesn\u2019t stop there. Its robust flavor profile is elevated by the tangy Korean slaw as well as the spicy combo of the salsa verde and kimchi \u201cvegenaise.\u201d It\u2019s finished off by an unmistakable cilantro finish. All of that is nestled inside an ube bun. It is messy, so be sure to grab extra napkins. But the mess is so worth it.<\/p>\n Oeuf en Cocotte at Caf\u00e9 L\u2019air De La Sir\u00e8ne \u2014 Epic Universe<\/p>\n A perfectly poached egg on top of a bowl of warm mashed potatoes was the pairing I didn\u2019t know I needed. The Oeuf en Cocotte dish at Caf\u00e9 L\u2019air De La Sir\u00e8ne inside the Wizarding World of Harry Potter \u2014 Ministry of Magic portal (what a mouthful!) makes for a wonderful, hearty breakfast to fuel the rest of your day.<\/p>\n The poached egg and potato duo is topped with Monay sauce \u2014 a decadent ooey-gooey French cheese sauce. The mashed potatoes are infused with gruy\u00e8re cheese, making a dish so rich in flavor that it almost seems unthinkable.<\/p>\n Pro tip: the perfectly toasted, crunchy baguette on the side absolutely calls for a dunk in the egg and mashed potatoes. You\u2019ll thank me later.<\/p>\n The small bowl of raspberries with a hint of lavender honey made for a delectable sweet finish and paired well with the savory main dish.<\/p>\n Overall, it was one of the best theme park breakfasts I\u2019ve had in recent memory. One note: at least during our visit, we had to wait quite a while for our food. That\u2019s something to keep in mind, especially if you want to ride everything in one day<\/a>.<\/p>\n , toasted baguette and seasonal berries with lavender honey<\/p>\n Pizza Lunare (meatless) at Pizza Moon \u2014 Epic Universe<\/p>\n Oh my pie. The meatless version of the Pizza Lunare at Pizza Moon in Epic Universe. I am struggling to find the words to describe this work of art.<\/p>\n First, this pizza is big. Definitely big enough to be split between two or three adults. But if I were to finish an entire pizza all by myself, it would probably be this one \u2014 and it was! Hey, walking all day builds up an appetite.<\/p>\n The sturdy yet chewy purple celestial ube crust is blanketed in a thick layer of roasted garlic b\u00e9chamel, fromage de lune, ricotta and garlic confit. The savory blend of those cheeses with the roasted garlic and garlic confit? Pure culinary ecstasy. I\u2019ve truly never had a pizza like it, and it will be a non-negotiable meal next time I\u2019m at Epic Universe. Pizza Lunare is a must-try, and I\u2019m sure the pancetta on the standard version makes it a great meat pizza if that\u2019s what you\u2019re in search of.<\/p>\n Bieraubeurre Crepe at Le Gobelet Noir \u2014 Epic Universe<\/p>\n Did I have a dessert crepe for dinner? You bet it did! Do I have any regrets? Absolutely not. The Bieraubeurre (Butterbeer) Crepe at Le Gobelet Noir in Wizarding World at Epic Universe is a whirlwind of sweet flavors and a must if you have a perpetual sweet tooth, as I do.<\/p>\n The sweet, appropriately thin crepe is slathered with a decadent shortbread cookie butter Bavarian cream, butterscotch-forward cream and drizzle, strawberries and a shortbread cookie garnish. Because why not?<\/p>\n Some may find this dish to be too sweet, but \u201ctwo sweet\u201d is not in my vernacular, so I wholeheartedly recommend it to all my sweet-toothed comrades in the world. You won\u2019t regret it. But it may be a better snack option as it isn\u2019t the most filling item on the menu.<\/p>\n Shepherd\u2019s Pasty Pie at Leaky Cauldron \u2013 Universal Studios Florida<\/p>\n I\u2019ve never had an authentic meat(less) pie, but if the Shepherd\u2019s Pasty Pie is anything like what you would find in the UK, I have a lot to look forward to whenever I visit.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
