Blander dishes are more prevalent here to appease toddlers and picky eaters. However, the Barbecue Pork Tot Bowl is a welcome addition as it brings plenty of savory flavors!<\/p>\n<p>The barbecue sauce does, however, have a bit of a sweet side to it, so it counteracts the savoriness of the rest of the dish. The fried pickle bits add a nice crunch and some surprising spice but nothing too overpowering.<\/p>\n<p><a data-fslightbox=\"1\" data-type=\"image\" aria-label=\"Open fullscreen lightbox with current image\" href=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/wdw-mk-friars-nook-barbecue-pork-tot-bowl-4-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1920\" data-id=\"1439982\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/wdw-mk-friars-nook-barbecue-pork-tot-bowl-4-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"A new Barbecue Pork Tot Bowl is available at Friar's Nook in Fantasyland, and it's a welcome addition to the park.\" class=\"wp-image-1439982\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a data-fslightbox=\"1\" data-type=\"image\" aria-label=\"Open fullscreen lightbox with current image\" href=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/wdw-mk-friars-nook-barbecue-pork-tot-bowl-3-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1920\" data-id=\"1439983\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/wdw-mk-friars-nook-barbecue-pork-tot-bowl-3-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"A new Barbecue Pork Tot Bowl is available at Friar's Nook in Fantasyland, and it's a welcome addition to the park.\" class=\"wp-image-1439983\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The cilantro is definitely there, so if you can\u2019t handle the topping on your food you\u2019ll want to avoid this. For those who do like cilantro, you\u2019ll have a few bites that stick out, but it doesn\u2019t overpower the dish.<\/p>\n<p>The pulled pork is good but nothing extravagant or super exciting. It\u2019s a solid protein, though. The tater tots are delicious and the flavors of this new dish do nothing but complement the tots.<\/p>\n<p><a data-fslightbox=\"1\" data-type=\"image\" aria-label=\"Open fullscreen lightbox with current image\" href=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/wdw-mk-friars-nook-barbecue-pork-tot-bowl-2-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1920\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/wdw-mk-friars-nook-barbecue-pork-tot-bowl-2-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"A new Barbecue Pork Tot Bowl is available at Friar's Nook in Fantasyland, and it's a welcome addition to the park.\" class=\"wp-image-1439984\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s heavy, but it\u2019s tasty, and it\u2019s also large enough to split between a few people.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, this is a great dish for adults.
