Disclosure: We were invited by Universal to attend a media event for Universal Orlando’s Mardi Gras. This did not affect our reporting of the event — our opinions are our own.
It’s Mardi Gras at Universal Studios Orlando and we’ve been checking out everything the park has to offer, from the parade to the live music!
Mardi Gras at Universal also features fan-favorite Cajun fare and classic Carnaval flavors from around the world. In past years, we’ve had great dishes like the Picadillo Empanada, classic Beignets, and Shrimp Gumbo, so let’s see what this year has to offer.
Some of the Cajun food that’s available for Mardi Gras includes Blackened Chicken Po’ Boys…
…Muffuletta Sandwich…
…Marshmallow Pie…
You know we HAD to try their take on a Moon Pie! We present to you the Mardi Gras Marshmallow Pie ?#UniversalMardiGras #Hosted pic.twitter.com/fso5V0hmWU
