We’re back again in Disney Springs to bring you all the food news after its reopening!

Disney Springs

While we took you on a tour of the reopening restaurants, we’re returning for seconds at The Polite Pig (and to try a few new menu items!).

Drinks

We started off our day at The Polite Pig with the Grapefruit Margarita (heart eyes) made with corazon tequila, citrus, and grapefruit liqueur for $11. It tasted like grapefruit heaven! While the tequila gave it a little bite, it was mostly tangy and sweet, which was perfect for this hot Florida weather!

Grapefruit Margarita

The Polite Pig added a new Private Barrel Bourbon Flight with Elijah Craig, Wellers 107, and Blantons for $20. They also added The Three Little Pigs Flight with WhistlePig’s Piggyback six year, Farmstock, and 10 year private barrel for $33.

Eats

For our main course, we ordered up a feast with the Shrimp and Grits and Creamed Florida Corn that are NEW to the menu.

First up, the Creamed Florida Corn was The Polite Pig’s latest seasonal side topped with queso fresco and spiced breadcrumbs that were BOMB.

Our Meal!!

While the grilled street corn is already one of The Polite Pig’s best sides, the creamed corn was extremely fresh and tasty. Since the recipe opted for queso fresco, this version of creamed corn was lighter compared to ones we’ve had before. There were also peppers sprinkled throughout the side to add a bit of a kick alongside the crunch from the bread crumbs.

Smoked Cream Corn

We told you about the Smoked Shrimp and Grits coming to The Polite Pig, but we didn’t prepare you for how awesome they were.

Shrimp and Grits

The smoked grilled shrimp was topped with a honey peppercorn glaze and served over creamy cheddar grits. So, if you’re a big fan of cheese (totally us), you’re going to want to pair the Shrimp and Grits with that new Creamed Corn!! The shrimp had a nice smoky flavor that the honey peppercorn glaze brought out with each bite. The grits had LOTS of flavor, while staying smooth and not overly creamy.

Shrimp and Grits

In case you need even MORE flavor for your shrimp, The Polite Pig is still offering their signature sauces. Although the Sauce Bar is closed to guests, you can still ask your servers for whichever sauce you’d like with your meal, and they will get them for you!

The Polite Pig

And, what would a meal at The Polite Pig be without dessert?? While we can’t get a Gideon’s Bakehouse Cookie right now (we’re just as sad as you are), we went with the Orange Blossom Pie instead for $7!

Orange Blossom Pie

The citrus flavors in this pie were AMAZING and almost tasted like you were snacking on an orange juice-flavored treat. It paired really well with the rest of our Grapefruit Margarita with that bit of orange zest!

Overall

The Polite Pig is a great destination in Disney Springs if you’re looking for more of a home-cooked meal vibe paired with some GREAT drinks (have you tried their Bourbon Bar??).

Polite Pig Overview

Whenever you’re there to grab one (or all) of the menu items, be sure to check out the new Pork Rinds while you’re at it! And, The Polite Pig has been cooking up a lot of new options lately, so don’t forget to ask about the Chef’s Smoker Special and Seasonal Side — you might just stumble onto something as wonderful as these shrimp and grits!

Disney Springs has officially reopened today.

Erin McKenna’s Bakery NYC

A large number of third-party restaurants and retailers have reopened their doors at Disney Springs, and we’re here LIVE to check out all of the new health and safety measures that are in place. One of the locations that has reopened today is Erin McKenna’s Bakery NYC.

Safety Measures

The location is currently open from 10AM – 10PM. In order to promote safety, the bakery is only allowing one group in at a time. Markings are placed on the ground so guests waiting to go inside the bake-shop can distance themselves from other customers.

Once guests are inside, they are asked to stay behind the red tape. Parties must stand in or near the designated squares on the floor to look at the bakery case, make their payment, and wait for their treats to be given to them!

All of the Cast Members at Erin McKenna’s wore masks and gloves to handle food and beverages.

If you’re visiting Erin McKenna’s Bakery NYC, you may be happy to know that the bakery is also offering their full menu. While the bakeshop is accepting orders by phone 24 hours in advance (with payment accepted over the phone), walk-ins are also welcome after they wait outside for their turn. The bakery is encouraging cashless payment as much as possible, but still accepting cash at this time.
