2024 Flavors from Fire Booth

We sure hope so, because we’re visiting a Festival Marketplace Food Booth that delivers Flavors from Fire! Among this booth’s unique offerings are the storied Swine Brine and an item that we LOVE seeing come back every year because it tends to rank among our Best of the Fest picks every time. So please join us for our complete review of EVERYTHING at Flavors from Fire!

Menu

You’ll find Flavors from Fire near the Refreshment Station in World Discovery. Flavors from Fire boasts the fan favorite Smoked Corned Beef with house-made potato chips, and it’s also brought back the Steakhouse Blended Burger from a few years back. These dishes are joined by the new IMPOSSIBLE Montreal-style Burger Slider.

Hooray! The Steakhouse Blended Burger has made its long-awaited return! This beef and wild mushroom slider is topped with truffle brie cheese fondue, arugula, and truffle potato chips and is served on a sesame seed bun.

Steakhouse Blended Burger

We’re a little surprised that we haven’t seen this dish for a few years, because when the Steakhouse Blended Burger made its debut in 2018, it was a definite hit! Now it’s back for $6.25.

Steakhouse Blended Burger

We’re happy to report that this snack is back and better than ever! The presentation was lovely, and we immediately picked up on that fresh-grilled flavor on the perfectly charred patty. The burger was salty, savory, and perfectly cooked. We’re SO glad to see this back on the menu this year.

There’s another slider up for grabs, and this one is all new: the plant-based IMPOSSIBLE Montreal Style Burger Slider is topped with cheddar cheese, and tomato jam and served on a sesame seed bun.

It costs $6. It’s a GREAT burger, but be prepared for a “pickle kick” in the aftertaste! We weren’t expecting that hit of salty, tangy pickle flavor, but we weren’t mad about it! If you’ve ever had a Chick-fil-A pickle, you might find that the flavor here is pretty similar.

And last, but certainly not least among the food items is the Smoked Corned Beef with house-made potato chips, cheese curds, pickled onions, and beer-cheese fondue!

Smoked Corned Beef

It’s up for grabs for $6.50. But is it as great as we remember? Well, YES!

YUM!

It had a lamb-like, chewy flavor that worked so well. The onions gave it a bit of zing, and the kettle chips were perfectly crunchy and salty. Really, you can’t go wrong with beer cheese fondue.

Drinks

Alrighty, my friends, it’s time to raise a glass of Swine Brine! This truly unique cocktail features Jim Beam Bourbon, apple cinnamon cider, lemon juice, and Dijon mustard. The cost is $11.50.

And the fact of the matter is, even thought we try Swine Brine year after year…we still need to brace ourselves before that first sip. Is it weird? Yes. But you know what? Our reporter found that this had a briny, pickle juice taste that worked shockingly well! In fact, they thought it was great. Different tastes for different stomachs, right?

If you’ve already decided that Swine Brine isn’t exactly your thing 😉 , you can try the new Deschutes Brewery Black Butte Porter which is $5.75 for for 6 ounces ($9.75 for 12 ounces) or the returning Four Virtues Bourbon Barrel Zinfandel which is $6.50.

OVERALL

This booth was a BIG winner! We loved everything we tried and truly enjoyed the lineup here. From warm, freshly-made sliders to weirdly good Swine Brine, this is easily a top booth of the festival. GO TRY THE FOOD HERE!
