Cosmic Ray's Starlight Cafe - October 17th, 2009
We headed to MK for the evening and since we all love to listen to Sonny Eclipse in the truck (Kira knows Planetary Boogie by heart!
) we decided to go to Cosmic Ray's. Unfortunately everyone else decided to go too because it was freezing outside.
It was so busy, it took a long time to just find a table and if you've been here before, then you know that there's lots of seating in there!
The place was swarming with people so I told Rob to wait for a seat to open up while I got the food.
Now, I've been here many times before but never when it was this busy
So it never really bothered me before that the food here is offered at different stations. Well after waiting 20 minutes to get Rob and Kira's chicken strips and knowing that I would have to wait yet another 20 minutes to get my burger from another line, it really started to bother me!
When I got back to my family, they were singing and dancing to Sonny's catchy music (you can see them dance in my part 1 video
http://cassworld.ca/videos.htm)
I was looking forward to a nice cheeseburger so I got back into line. After a very interesting experience with a very grumpy CM (see my trip report for details) and a long 15 minutes, I finally got my burger.
Just as I was leaving, I remembered that they had cheese sauce and I thought maybe Kira would enjoy dipping her fries in it. I found the small condiment area (ketchup, napkins, dipping sauces, straws) but the cheese wasn't there so I went in search of the other one. I finally found it but really had to search for the cheese. It's not even marked so if you didn't know what you were looking for, you would never find it!
Ok, before I go into detail about the food, let me post some pics...
Rob and Kira's food
And mine
Rob and Kira enjoyed their strips, Kira ate most of that entire yogurt by herself and we all enjoyed watching Sonny.
This is where I got really grumpy though....
Although I had read about Disney switching their hot dog buns from white buns to whole wheat buns, it didn't even occur to me that they switched their hamburger buns too. I know...how silly of me
Although it didn't look very good, I don't mind WW buns at home so I took a bit and hoped for the best.
It wasn't good people.
Sorry...that's an understatement because it was HORRIBLE!!!!!!!
It was so bad that I didn't even want another bite! The bun was coming apart in my hands so I just pulled off the pieces and tried to eat the burger part.
Yeah, that part wasn't very good either.
Considering burgers are my favourite food group
it's gotta be pretty awful for me not to eat one!
I don't know if it was the bun that threw me or the burger or both but it was so gross that I couldn't eat it. I've had burgers here before and they are usually very good so I think it has more to do with the disgusting bun!
You can see it falling apart after just one bite!
