REVIEW: B.B. Wolf’s New Carolina BBQ Hotdog at Disney Springs

The Big Bad Wolf seems to have found a new way to cook up his long time nemeses with the new Carolina BBQ Hot Dog at the B.B. Wolf’s Sausage Company at Disney Springs. This version of the eatery’s all-beef hot dog is topped with Carolina Gold Barbecue, its sauce a mustard type popular in South Carolina and based in Bavarian tradition, along with a mustard vinaigrette coleslaw.

Packed with flavor, this hot dog is quite the mouthful. While the flavors all interact well, sometimes it’s difficult to get it all in a single bite. With the slaw and BBQ both rather solid in structure, neither slips into the cracks between bun and sausage, meaning you generally eat the toppings and then the dog in separate bites. That said, those who are not fans of mustard can relax in knowing that neither the BBQ or coleslaw are heavy with a bold mustard flavor – this isn’t some ballpark frank swimming in yellow goo. The overall palette is more subtle in nature, which works well for what is already a large undertaking. 

At $7.99, one must ask if the flavors added for the extra dollar more than the regular dog are worth it. They certainly are, adding not only great taste, but enough extra meat and toppings that this could almost work as a light lunch for two.

REVIEW: Sprinkles Vodka Infused Cupcake at Disney Springs

Sprinkles Cupcakes at Disney Springs offers a new soft treat made with some hard liquor. The “Tito’s Handmade Vodka American Mule” is available from today until July 22nd. It features a ginger cake frosted with the Texas based distillery’s signature vodka and studded with crystallized ginger. At less than 5% alcohol by volume, it would be quite the task to feel the alcohol impact from this sweet treat, but it is designated by store signage as an adults only cupcake. It rings in at $5.25.

As for the eating experience, the American Mule continues Sprinkles’ tradition of a fluffy cupcake that goes down easily, though the ginger elements overall didn’t stand out as one might hope. When marketing a “cocktail cupcake,” you might expect a bit of punch to the taste, but neither the vodka or ginger hold as much flavor as the lime, which in itself is excellent.

While nobody’s calling a cab after enjoying this limited time cupcake, its a unique treat if you find yourself seeking out a spongy lime-flavor delicacy.
