Nice!
The food looks so good! Especially the first ones 🔥
I just like the leberkase with ketchup and mosterd i think the extra sauerkraut trows it off and a bigger peace is needed
Wow!
You always have the best outfits 😮❤ I’m Asian so it’s lunar new year for me
My fav part of Mardi Gras is the music and the food! I love that its turned into a food festival throughout the years. My first Mardi Gras the only special food they had was the seafood cookout table
Thanks for the coverage. I am curious about your comparison/opinion of the food quality/variety of this festival versus the Epcot festivals. This food looked really good.
That food and beverage card is a good deal!! Thanks for the review the food looks great 🤩
Sup Demi! I went to Universal for the first time last year during Mardi Gras and I’m glad I did. It was so much fun! There’s so many things to do and see, and the fact that it’s included with your regular park ticket makes it so worth it. I definitely need to book another trip to experience it again. My favorite part is the parade (even though I only caught 2 beads😂). I have to tip my hat to you because you always try every food item at these events to give them a fair review. Spending $300 on food and drinks is a massive expense, so I’m happy I can help in some way by being one of your Patreon patrons. You know I’m always willing you in any other way I can because you’ve given me so much help with trips in the past. Thank you for doing what you do best…we all appreciate it so much!💜💚💛
I’m excited to go for the first time ever! I’m most excited about the parade. Some food looked good, but I’m not into spicy or Cajun, so I won’t be eating too much. Thanks for an awesome video! As always.
I'll have to add duck a l'orange to my must eat list! Thanks for reviewing!
Two weeks! Plan to get 75$ cards, souvier drink cup (will the next booth clean & fill with different drink?), of course parade.
Last year was my first experience with Universal Mardi Gras and I was pleasantly surprised by the quantity and quality of the food options. I was really excited booking my trip this year in anticipation of this festival however, it seems like they’ve scaled back a bit on the quantity of booths and options of food.
I’m a bit disappointed. Still going to be a good trip and have some “must trys” but overall I am left feeling like they cut corners this year.
Hi from New Orleans. I love your videos and honest reviews. 💛💜💚
Agree 100% about the food! We were sitting right next to you for the parade, but didn’t want to interrupt your wrestling. 😂
Moist.
your nails are EVERYTHING! I've never had a bloody mary (it's not my drink of choice) since they have a non spicy choice maybe i'll try that (if i ever get to go) but i'm a banana drink girlie, so i might like that!
Always a great video
I made the mistake of starting off with the king cake. That thing is meant for two or three people to share.
It’s not a Mardi Gras when Jambalaya, Gumbo or Po boy are not on the menu!
I always appericate your takes on the food and drinks. I wish I could go this year.
But did it have an acidic aftertaste
