The 20th anniversary of the Epcot Food & Wine Festival (Sept. 25-Nov. 16) promises to be the largest ever. The event expands into Future World area with “Sustainable Chew” and “Chew Lab” marketplaces (inspired by ABC’s The Chew who will tape shows at the park Oct. 7, 8 and 9), and new premium events, like the Rockin’ Burger Party (Sept. 25, Oct. 8 and Nov. 6), should keep chowhounds satiated. We got a sneak peek at the festival’s food and drink offerings this past Sunday. Commence drooling.
