FOOD
New this season is a Summer Tasting Passport. SDC has created Tasting Passports to help guests maximize their food spending money this Summer - and the best part - it is good June 11th through August 7th. It really is a good value if you plan to visit more than once during that time.
Please note that since this is the SUMMER there are not specialty food items that have been created just for a festival. The food on the card is normal menu items.
Since we actually bought several cards to use during this time period, this blog entry will be updated periodically through the summer with our different visits
SMOKED PULLED PORK SKILLET
Dockside Grill
Thoughts: This is skillet potatoes topped with smoked pulled pork. Great combination. We thought that there was a lot of meat present which was awesome.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND
BLACKBERRY GOOEY BUTTER CAKE
Rivertown Smokehouse
Thoughts: The Gooey Butter Cake just keeps getting better, When it first debuted about 3 years ago we found the crust to be a little dry. That is no longer the case. Beware that you will be quite full after consuming a piece of this cake
HIGHLY RECOMMEND
SMOKED BRISKET
Rivertown Smokehouse
Thoughts: This a full serving of their brisket. It is amazing. The only difference between a sampling and the regular menu is that you do not get the sides. The amount of meat is the same.

FRIED CHICKEN SANDWICH
Traveler's Stop
Thoughts: This sandwich is huge. If you have ever had a Chick-fil-A sandwich that is probably the best comparison there is in the real world. There is a lot of chicken in this sandwich. Very flavorful and filling
HIGHLY RECOMMEND
BIG OX KETTLE CHIPS
Chester's Kettle Chips
Thoughts: This is a great meal. Think of it is like super nachos but with kettle chips instead of nacho chips. Very tasty.
