Unfortunately we hadn't learned enough about Disney food until recently so I don't have one. I'm hoping to find some winners next month. Wink

For me it would be:

DTD - Earl of Sandwich, no question about that one.

AK - Yak and Yeti because that's the only one we've tried so far, being huge fans of Asian food.

DHS - Backlot Express, a recent find for us; I should pick ABC Commissary for the nice, healthy Asian salad, but DANG IT that bacon burger at Backlot Express was gooooooooood.

MK - I will pick Columbia Harbor House, but hubby would choose Sleepy Hollow for the chicken waffle sandwich.

Epcot - You're kidding, right? Choose just ONE at Epcot? My answer would depend on what I was in the mood for at the moment. The most I can do is eliminate any counter-service restaurant that only serves burgers, hot dogs, and fries.

Well, I'll try but DH and I don't always agree

AK - Flame Tree OR the picnic
MK-Cosmic Rays and want to try Harbour House
HS - Starring Rolls...the last time we were there ABC was terrible and since we stay only 1/2 day we do TS and go.
EPCOT - Sunshine (the one where you choose the options at different counters) or Rose and Crown (DH likes Fish and chips)

downtown - hmmmmm Puck's Express (DH wants to try the pub but never there at right time)

Favorite hands down is Cosmic Rays at MK. The toppings bar for your burger is amazing. At Epcot I would have to pick either Sunshine Seasons or Les Halles Boulangerie Patisserie. At AK Flame tree barbecue is great and at HS we like ABC commissary. We have never tried QS at DTD because we always end up at The House of Blues.

DTD ~ Wolfgang Puck's Express (market place)
MK ~ Pinocchios Village Haus. The meatball sub is awesome. Peco's Bills very close 2nd.
DHS ~ abc Commissary. The Asian salad with chicken. Normally we go to Sci-Fi for lunch but occasionally abc suits fine.
AL ~ Yak and Yeti.
EP ~ Orange Blossom. I know that there are a lot of fine food places in EP, but the Pot Stickers are sooooo good.

I personally wouldn't include anyplace that only sells pastries, desserts, and other sweets, but that's because I'm not a big fan of sweets so those places would never make my favorites list under any circumstances. If you could make a meal out of desserts, go ahead and list that sort of place.
