Creator's Key Takeaways

Thanks to Universal for inviting us out. They flew us out here and they hosted us.

I'm surprised. I was expecting this just to be mac and cheese with some sausage, but it has a distinctly New Orleans taste to it.

That was honestly even more fun than I could have possibly imagined.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Get the beignet and dip it in the king cake espresso martini.
βœ“If you're an annual passholder, buy a gift card at the booths to get $30 free value.
βœ“Get the rum punch to help with the spice from the jerk chicken.
