 We spent the evening at Busch Gardens Tampa for a preview of the upcoming Food & Wine event, happening weekends March 10 - May 21!   First stop, some delicious Cabernet with the Vegetable Samosas from Trek Through Africa. Quite tasty with a little spiciness from the chutney.    Next up, the Buffalo Chicken and Philly Cheese Steak Egg Rolls. We paired these with the Twisted Lemonade and Serengeti Flyer Punch. I think I preferred the steak egg roll but both were good!    Next up was Morocco and Greece. We tried the Chicken Batbout, Stuffed Grape Leaves and Baklava. Chicken and Baklava were really good, but we weren’t fans of the grape leaves. Just not our thing but we tried something new.    Final food stop of the night was European Delights, where we had the Pierogies and Tiramisu. This was our favorite of the night! Wanted to try ravioli but unfortunately they were out. Next time!   Capped off an excellent evening with a four-person, front row night ride on Iron Gwazi. This ride at night is out of control fun! Thanks again Busch Gardens for having us. We’re looking forward to a great event and awesome concerts!  Related Videos

Fact Sheet
Last week was media night for the always amazing Howl-O-Scream at Busch Gardens Tampa. And of course Renee was there for the fun in the fog of one of our favorite parks. Lots of new stuff to see this year, one retiring house and lots of fun and chainsaws. Let's check it out!  More spooky times on the east coast tonight at Busch Gardens Tampa’s Howl O Scream.  We were greeted by all sorts of chainsaw characters immediately upon entering the park.   Really like the look of the merchandise this year. There is also some sort of interactive fog skull necklace.    Made a new friend at the Giraffe Bar.  Strangleeood Estate is new for this year and had some excellent scares and great sets.  Jell-O shots, anyone?   Night rides on Iron Gwazi are incredible!  Looking like this is the last year for Death Water Bayou, always a solid house.   The Junkyard scare zone has been such a fun addition these past few years and a throwback to previous houses.     Witch in the Woods is so great, such a fantastic returning house.  There are so many scare zones and with all the dark pathways in the park, it’s easy to get spooked.     Zombie clowns + bumper cars is a winning combo.    The Residence was not one of my favorite houses before, but putting a holiday spin on it made it so much better! What a fun house.   I can’t say enough good things about the scare zones at Howl O Scream.     Busch Gardens Tampa has another awesome Howl O Scream season on their hands. Thanks for having us and we can’t wait to come back! Related Videos
