This time, we're voting on food -- not on restaurants, but on individual items. What is the single best thing to eat or drink at a theme park -- the best snack, appetizer, entree or beverage? We need you to submit your favorites, then I'll sum up the picks, seed the top nominees in brackets and open up the voting.
Please try to be specific when submit a pick -- if you can tell us the place and park where you get it, that would be helpful to me in setting up the brackets. Don't just submit "churros," tell us where the best churros are to be found, if that's what you want to nominate.
Start the campaigning in the comments, if you'd like, or feel free to ask any questions about this tournament. And let the tastiest treat win!
Update: Duh. The timing: Get your nominations in by this Friday. I want to announce the brackets and start voting Monday.

Dole Pineapple Float at MK
Taramisu at Italian Pavillion, Epcot
Banana Chocolate Gooey Cake, Mythos
and as Robert says the free beer, its not very often you get something free in a themepark so this is a really good one!!
So here are a few of my favorites:
Chocolate souffle - Victoria and Albert's - Disney's Grand Floridian - expensive dinner but so worth it just to end with this
Pineapple Dole Whip - Magic Kingdom
Philly Cheesesteak sandwich and ice cream shake - The Plaza Restaurant - Magic Kingdom
French toast and Coffee - Kona Cafe - Disney's Polynesian resort
Rainbow snowcones (believe they are called Kakagori) - Japan in Epcot
Moose/Goose juice - used to be a stand in Seuss Landing but it hasn't been open in awhile despite my pleading : )
Chocolate Croissants - Crescent Moon Bakery - Islands of Adventure
Cesari's pizza - Knoebel's
Frozen Iced Tea slushie - Knoebel's
Anything from the Smokehouse Restaurant (but especially the warm apple crisp) - Busch Gardens Europe
Trio platter w garlic breadsticks - Italy - Busch Gardens Europe
Fresh lemonade - Hersheypark
Kettle Corn - Hersheypark - this is the best kettle corn anywhere in my opinion.
Fries from Potato Patch - Kennywood
That's all I can think of for now...need to get lunch - just made myself hungry!!!
PS: Someone mentioned the fetuccini alfredo that Alfredo's in Epcot used to have. Sadly, the restaurant was given a make over and is no longer Alfredo's - and along with the name went the fetuccini (and the prices skyrocketed!)
Buffalo BBQ Fried Chicken Wrap - Mythos, Islands of Adventure
Warm Chocolate Banana Gooey Cake - Mythos, Islands of Adventure
Moose Juice - Seuss Landing, Islands of Adventure
Le Special de Monte Cristo - Blue Bayou, Disneyland
Man, I am getting hungry reading all of these votes...is it dinner time yet???
Another "Extict" Bite: Peanut Crusted Chicken (Tusker's AK)
veggie burger in the rainforest cafe (animal kingdom)
cheesecake from the cheesecake factory in disney quest (downtown disney)
veggie entree from tepan edo (Japan, EPCOT)
Actually, in general the food at the Japanese parks beats pretty much anything in the U.S. Other best bites include the Curry Rice and the Chocolate Mousse at the Hungry Bear Cafe, and the fresh strawberry dessert at the Queen of Hearts Banquet Hall.
But I'll just campaign for the Gyoza Dogs. Please, Disney, we beg you - bring Gyoza Dogs to Anaheim!
The hot corned beef sandwich at Flanagan's in Universal Studios ( Florida) is also pretty good.
The chicken salad at the Columbia House in Magic Kingdom is great too.
