Yesterday, we talked about the upcoming Mardi Gras event at Busch Gardens theme park in Williamsburg, Virginia. We talked about all the great entertainment, shows, and beads. We also talked about how to save money on tickets in our Busch Gardens Williamsburg Mardi Gras Guide. But one thing we want to talk more about are the food and drinks. Rather, we assessed how each dish tasted, independent of its similarity to food you would actually find at Mardi Gras or in the Big Easy. There were no “refreshers” (non-alcoholic specialty beverages), and we decided against reviewing the cocktails (partially in light of the drive home in the snow we all faced).
