We were not offered any either, on the two days we were there last week.They were offering them on Thursday. Maybe the CM was just out refilling the basket?

I was at the lunch today. It was fabulous. Mostly due to our dining companions. We very much enjoyed the conversation.Any reviews of the Italian Regional Lunch, yet? I would love to hear about it!
They were offering samples on Friday and I've seen samples offered in a few youtube videos.I’m here now in the Festival Center and I was so disappointed that Ghiardelli’s didn’t offer any free samples! It was always such a tradition, so sad!
Ok - so have we figured out if you have to go to EpCOT 4 days in a row to get the cutting board? I can change my plans and do that, but it would be easier if I didn't have to.
I was in the Festival Center on Saturday, Monday, and Tuesday (September 8th, 10th, and 11th) of last week, and there were no chocolate samples while I was there.
How would you say the steak was cooked in Canada? Tim tracker showed theirs and it was pretty well done looking.I went to the festival two different afternoons over Labor Day week. Just now getting back here to post my favorites... and a couple of not so favorites!
My top pick would be the Short Rib Tostada from the Mexico booth - it's the only dish that I got twice since I loved the first one so much! The Sangria drink at that booth was very tasty also.
Also topping the list:
Le Cellier Filet Mignon from Canada - this was the very first dish I tried and very tasty. A little salty, but I really enjoyed the dish overall.
Steakhouse Blended Burger from Earth Eats - about the size of a large slider and very good.
Butternut Squash Ravioli from Wine and Dine - I was very tempted to get a second helping of this as well! So yummy!
Bougatsa from Greece - I was very happy that I tried this since I ended up really enjoying it!
Sweet Dark Chocolate Raspberry Tart from the Chocolate Lab - with those ingredients you can't go wrong in my book. It was beautifully presented as well!
Maple Boursin Bourbon Cheesecake from the Cheese Studio - this was excellent as well. The only thing that could be improved is that it could be chilled more before serving.
Italian Margarita from Italy - another really nice surprise and very refreshing!
Fromosa from the Mimosa Bar - my only complaint was that they don't give you more!
At the bottom of the list were the two dishes I got from Coastal Eats. The lump crab cake didn't have much flavor and the shrimp scampi dip was WAY too salty and stuck with me the entire rest of the day in the form of indigestion. Yuck.
Overall I really enjoyed my lunches at Food and Wine!

I received a sample when I was there on Friday (the 7th) of Labor Day week. I also received a sample the previous evening at the Disney Springs location.
I might pass on it then. Thanks!I'd say it was well done but very tender! I forgot to grab a knife but was able to eat it with just a fork... tad bit messier looking though but as you can see from my first photo it was pretty uncrowded that day so fewer people to witness my lack of dining etiquette!

I feel the same way. I honestly haven’t seen much that I feel like I have to get.I don’t know what I’m looking forward to, to be honest nothing seems that it stands out and I’ve watched a ton of videos.

We were at Disney Springs on 9/14 and F&W on 9/15 and didn't get chocolate samples at either. My DD15 was disappointed but I think the 10 lbs. of candy we snagged at MNSSHP made up for it lol.
That water looks very appealing for some reason
