Eating Our Way Around Universal's Islands of Adventure | Orlando Informer Meetup Food "Preview"

[@R__SM]

Yay Nikki is back I missed her so much the videos aren’t the same without her!😁

[@trunksharris2000]

I think you guys started a new series with this one. You can do one of eating around Studios, then eating desserts around each park. Then you can drink around the parks. Then you could do it all again at the Disney parks, Sea World, Busch Gardens, etc. (Over a period of time of course) Anyway, I enjoyed this one. Hope to see you this coming weekend.

[@Cjt2277]

I love that idea

[@bryanmadonna]

That's so cruel! 😂

[@NessieMay]

Yay! Nikki’s back in the parks 🥰

[@theskullspookychannel6343]

I love how you ate a completely different food item in each island: Seuss Landing- Pizza Tots Lost Continent- Chicken Stingers Hogsmeade- Shepherd's Pie with Garden Salad Jurassic Park- Grilled Chicken Sandwich Toon Lagoon- Chicago Hot Dog Marvel Superhero Island- Fettuccine (On a side note; I ate at Three Broomsticks yesterday for the first time and it was pretty good)

[@ThePughTwo]

We met these two the Sunday before parks shut down back in March. They have inspired us to start our own channel and we have been loving it. Congrats on the success! Stay safe in school Nikki!

[@maryanncarpenter3060]

I’m so glad you guys are sponsored by OI on this! Rix Flix and OI are my favorite things about Orlando. I had the Shepherds Pie at last December’s meetup. It was so good!! Also had the fettuccine Alfredo and a bucket of bait from Springfield. All good. Was motion sick so did not eat more. This year I have a motion sick patch and will be ready to go!

[@kaylacox3546]

I was at the February OI meetup. So sad that I can't make it for December. The unlimited butterbeer is one of the best parts. They literally have cups of it sitting out that you can just grab with no line or wait. Definitely eat around Studios! Your food videos are so fun.

[@Ahmad0819]

It was great seeing you all! Rick and Nikki are the nicest! It made our day! Thanks!

[@crisgl2606]

Now THIS is relationship goals

[@storm3851]

I'll be going to the meet up. This makes me even more excited.

[@TonksLupin]

Here in Chicago on the Chicago style hotdog we have mustard, pickle and relish on it along w the toppings that were on the Chicago dog there. My family normally takes those peppers and squeeze the juice on the top of the hotdog And on top of our fries! It’s delicious! This video made me hungry! 😂 Definitely going to try some new items whenever we get to finally go back.

[@craigkinne3415]

You two are amazing! It was so wonderful meeting you both yesterday. Love the videos, especially with Nikki!

[@richmatthews7685]

It was awesome getting to meet you guys yesterday!! Such a nice and friendly couple!!

[@rodrigoledesma2009]

Awesome video thanks! I love to see what food is around. It be awesome to see more food things

[@vickistory2724]

We are going on the 5th and I so hope we get to meet you both!!! I was excited when buying our tickets that it ask how we found out about it and it listed Rix Flixs as one of the options. This will be our first one. The more I hear about it, the more excited I get.

[@nickellfrancis1128]

Nikki back missed you girl thanks rix love having her at the park

[@lisaking6009]

Welcome back Nikki and thank you for the update

[@stevewhitehouse9532]

Love you guys. Glad to see nikki back

[@UncleIanYorkshire]

Lovely to see Nikki back in the video. Well I've got some new things to try food wise and the chicken stingers looked really interesting.

[@trvlnthru]

This video reminded me of how little food I have tried in Islands of Adventure. We usually do most of our eating in CityWalk. But I saw a few things here I want to try next time I am in the park. Thanks for this video Rix Flix!

[@mandyglass1186]

Love this video! In the UK shepherd’s pie would never be served with salad! Only vegetables 😆😆😆

[@kristianhageman7274]

Love the meetups. So exclusive and spacious

[@vicp99]

Yes do the studios too!

[@patrinker2666]

Nikki, I love tomatoes by themselves too! Can’t wait to try pizza tots!

[@NicholasTranscends]

Congrats nearly at 100,000! 55,000. You deserve it all brother!!

[@roseannfrashuer2400]

Hello Nikki ! We are looking forward to the Orlando Informer Meet Up in Dec and then we are booked at Endless Summer Resort as well for those nights . Yahoo , it has been such a long time for a Hotel Staycation !

[@DLSracing]

We did Feb meetup and it was great. We're going again to the Dec 11-12. Highly recommend, the food alone is worth it.

[@joannamaynard4442]

This is awesome, love to see other menu items to know what to get for next time

[@apenner1121]

So glad you had your better half with you this trip. haha J/K I am glad she's here, though. That is, exactly, what we did at our last meet-up; tried foods that we never would have in the past. P.S. you need to come on the 6th as we would love to meet you.(hint, hint). lol haha Thank you for the vid. Looking forward to the other park eat around. ;)

[@sharonh5399]

I need to see you guys eat it. I would have loved to see the inside of the Shepherds Pie. I almost got that when I was there.

[@elizabethvolovich9748]

Niki is back yay

[@annadevico1244]

Nikki's back!!! Yay! 😁

[@patrinker2666]

Glad to see Nikki back! Thanks for doing this! Getting our food to try list together. If you do decide to do a second meetup night, please please please do the 11th or 12th so we can hang a bit with you!

[@shiquetamartin9574]

Love the video never had the stingers got try.

[@barbaramartin6537]

Hello guys aww Nikki I hope you feel better after eating all that food.

[@JustOutnAbout]

Glad to see Nikki back too!! We have our tickets to both nights the 2nd weekend of the meet up and can't wait. Enjoyed the Christmas meet up so much last year. Maybe we will see y'all there! ~Dawn

[@stephaniemitchell2439]

my friends and i saw you two when we were inside in line to sit down at burger digs! we wanted to come say hi but we were too nervous haha. i hope you two had a great day!

[@CocoW1968]

Hey Guys!! What about doing a video about “healthiest foods” ?? One for City Walk, one for Islands, and one for Studios?

[@angelamiller1048]

Those "crowds" you're talking about in this video looks to me like the normal foot traffic the last week of May/first week of June. The only things missing are the Gradventure t-shirts.

[@lontenn69]

The food looks good !! And nice to see Nikki back 😊

[@dariusq8894]

Snacks aside, my family always saves our stomachs for Thunder Falls Terrace when eating at Islands of Adventure. The chicken & ribs combo there is easily the best tasting and value in a theme park.

[@debb9545]

Loved this video! Would love to see more like it 🤤

[@brianseward5305]

Wimpy's is open! Yum!!!

[@LarryDarkMite2]

I really want to go to the OI Meet-up!! I actually takes place on my Birthday! (don't want to travel right now, but fingers crossed for next year!)

[@T-h8-ex]

Thanks for the video 👍🏼 I would to see u eat around Studios. Looking forward to seeing you guys at OI meet up on December 5th. Coming down to celebrate my daughter's birthday 🎂

[@Mr.Shawn034]

I'd love to see a Eating our Way around Springs and Universal City Walk... Maybe even all the Disney Parks.

[@monicaconner4611]

That it! Next time I go I will definitely try the Chicago dog! 💖💖

[@Planetarygamers]

Yes! Gotta eat around the studios! We need a professional opinion about the crepes stand!

[@cateyes092305]

I seen nikkis purse it's so cute! I have the same one can't wait to use it in parks this November

[@adrianstorm474]

I hope we get to see you two at the meetup! My wife and I are going on Dec 6

[@TheKamalder5]

I’ll be there on the 5th and 6th for my fifth OI Meetup! So worth it!

[@ginachancey3449]

The food looked tasty 😋, glad to nikki back.

[@susantadlock7295]

I loved this video. It gave me some new ideas of where and what to eat. Please do the same for Universal Studios as well.

[@noahman1234]

Thanks for the great videos

[@pscherry78]

I loved the pizza tots when we were there Dec 2019

[@debbieklein5714]

We loved the pizza tots!

[@jcadventurehd]

what camcorder do you use for your blogs

[@Laxfarm]

I think it’s funny Rick called a Chicago dog fancy! Was there no neon green relish for it?

[@ollielongscar]

I’m kind of sad you didn’t get the dagwood lol like to me it’s so iconic for toon town

[@markimoofan1239]

yay glad nikki is back :)

[@zoepowers9456]

So we are actually gonna make a trip this year! Hope to see y’all Nov 15th-19th!

[@mat3801]

Would love to meet you both :) if your ever in islands come say hi at toon lagoon

[@ToughLuckHaze]

I’ll be going to universal on the 29th of sept, so this video came just in time for me to know which munchies to prioritize 🤗 always love the content you two 💜

[@ravenslove21]

Those pizza tater tots look amazing and yummy! I am adding that to my list. Team Frozen Butterbeer though! #notsorry.

[@angelamartinez4551]

You didn’t miss out on the “Chicago dog” because that was not a Chicago dog! lol

[@jkledis]

Ok Nikki you must make Rick eat around Studios!

[@magicgirl8212]

Have you guys heard of the fishy green ale?

[@christinapearson7986]

The pizza tots would probably be my pick! 👍

[@kennethedmonds6812]

Rewatch the video and everytime rix or nikki say Orlando informer, take a shot. 😉

[@crazybirdgirl08]

For the Orlando informer meetup, do people have access to both parks or is it limited to only one?

[@RixFlix]

Both

[@orlandobuff7421]

Shepherd's Pie is a classic British dish. As June says below it's traditionally made with lamb.

[@tracymacarthur8815]

Love chilli cheese dogs like Nikki , wish I was going on the 5th Dec it's the day after my birthday, think of the food I could try mmmm

[@slytherinqueen2120]

Love u guys 💚🐍

[@slytherinqueen2120]

Almost Forgot to mention I was the first comment 💚🐍

[@Desbles2009]

Rix and Nikki just wanted to ask you, if you got your tickets to the informer meetup cause I did and my friend Katie is going with me so maybe I will see you around.

[@coreyannhurst3447]

I grew up eating Shepard pie but oddly enough we only use is with hamburger meat. I had no idea people actually had it with lamb. I thought the name was just off the wall or because of the potatoes on top maybe being compared to sheep wool. 🤷‍♀️

[@TheBrewsuzannes]

I like the shepherds pie! And fire eaters grill gyro mmmmmmm

[@coylebarre1240]

Wow, anybody else getting hungry just by watching this video?😋

[@Music-City-Mania]

I wonder if Universal Orlando has any spots that serve up some Nashville Hot Chicken.

[@ThePughTwo]

We do not believe that this is an option at the parks, however that would be a great addition. We are from close to Nashville and go to the parks often!

[@Music-City-Mania]

ThePughTwo I agree. I live in Nashville and definitely enjoy some good hot chicken every now and again. One of these days I’m gonna make some of my own.

[@MrTbnetherwood]

You should do move videos like this love the food reviews

[@reva510]

I love Universal’s plant-based options. At just about every restaurant there (and Island’s) they have at least one vegan option. And they’re quite good! The vegan shepherds pie at Finnegan’s is outstanding.

[@saraho8540]

Will they have unlimited hot butterbeer too?

[@KourttneyL]

How’s the weather in December ?

[@milliehaas615]

I love Nikki's mask. Where did she get it?? And how can I get one.

[@maryyjanee247]

This was cool and should do more natural ones that arent sponsored so it can be more natural kinda felt like one long commercial lol but make that mula

[@debbiborella8094]

I would love a review of the vegetarian menu options.

[@alpersaud3930]

What a challenge eating all that good food

[@bethonysterling5658]

Sooo... I hope there's going to be a studios video too😬😬😬

[@chicanolowrider]

Uploaded 5 minutes ago?! Such a great way to start our morning 😎

[@GiovannaCandy]

Hi guys. Just one idea I have seen in other channels. Due you know a looot IoA and USF, try a live in the park and the rides. It will be awesome 👏 because you two are so cool and knows a lot of those parks.

[@Frank-ed3db]

Hi Nikki 👋!!!!!!!!!

[@trevorcross7751]

Can you do the same thing for Universal studios

[@t_cheating8239]

Nikki needs to get her moms recipe for Sheppard pie and cook it for you.

[@dylanstuart624]

You guys are going on the 5th for the Orlando Meetup!?! Awesome, I’ll be there! For sure I need to say hello and maybe stand at the Splash zone with you Rick!

[@LiamRichie825]

I’ve never been this early and don’t know what to do next

[@josephmazza4485]

Are you planning on doing a video on the drive-thru haunted house 🏚️

[@stuartmanson3830]

You know shepherd pie is made lamb mince and cottage pie is the same just with beef mince

[@hollylindauer1678]

Family in Chicago and you’ve never had Portillos Chicago dog???? Yummy

[@RixFlix]

We’ve got a Portillos in Florida now

[@lostinwonderart]

Oh yes, eating tomatoes like an apple!

[@leslievarney6695]

Do you go to the meetups?

[@RixFlix]

Yes

[@christianbosman7]

Being from the uk what you had was cottage pie as that’s made with beef Shepherds pie is made with lamb And having that with salad is a no need to have it with cabbage and carrots

[@RixFlix]

Oh, their menu describes it as ground beef, lamb and vegetables crowned with potatoes. Maybe we use more ground beef here because it's probably cheaper, but J.K. did approve the menu and the description. Do the not mix in the ground beef with the lamb over the pond?

[@christianbosman7]

No one or the other best homemade get a recipe from bbc good food and make the mash and grate a good cheddar cheese into it we normally put all the ingredients into a big pot with a lid put in the oven for an hour or so boil up the potatoes then mash them put the cheddar in as well the put the meat and veg into an ovenproof dish spread the potatoes on top smooth it out with a fork and sprinkle some more grated cheese on top and then put back in the oven with the grill on to get the top crispy the viola shepherds/ cottage pie
