(DOLLYWOOD, Tenn.) SMOKIES.LIVE – Dollywood has had a reputation for having the best theme park food anywhere in the world.
During the I Will Always Love You Festival, there’s unique treats from savory to sweet and a drink that’ll help you wash it all down.
There are 20 specialty items during the festival you can only find during I Will Always Love You. You’ll find those items on the Festival Tasting Pass.
“I love our culinary teams enthusiasm for each festival. Because they want to come up with new and different things that are only for this festival. I’ve already seen the Flower & Food Festival food items. There may be somethings for the next festival that are similar, but not exactly the same,” said Ellen Liston from Dollywood.
For example, there is a raspberry lemon sweet roll that is only available during I Will Always Love You. You’ll find this item at the bakery.
Liston recommends the butterfly brownie that’s also in the bakery. This brownie gets drizzled with white chocolate icing that’s pink with pink glittery sprinkles.
There’s also a butterfly marshmallow treat and a butterfly funnel cake all for the sweet tooth.
“There are also some amazing lemon aids and drinks also,” she added.
Liston has on her list to try the ‘Sticky Wings’ which come in a sweet and spicey sauce.
“Just a lot of great items that people, whether you’re looking for a meal, something to drink along side your cinnamon bread, a lot of fun options and then also no one will judge you if you use your entire tasting pass on desert,” she said.
