Figment's Diamond Anniversary Celebration in Disneyland Resort
Cafe Orleans, Lunch
Figment had lunch on the 17th at Cafe Orleans. It's got great food and is a good place to do some people watching!
Mint Juelp – Figment really likes Disneyland’s version of the mint julep, so that’s his “go to” drink when eating in New Orleans Square.
French Onion Soup - Sautéed sweet-onion medley in a traditional broth with Croutons and Melted Gruyere. Even though it was a warm(ish) day, Figment still wanted the French Onion soup. He likes this version because it has a very rich broth and yummy melted cheese!
Pommes Frites - Traditional French-fried potatoes tossed with Parmesan cheese, garlic and parsley, served with a Cajun spice remoulade. This is one of Figment’s favorite appetizers at Disneyland and one of the best ways to eat pommes frites!
New Orleans Gumbo - A rich, flavorful stew with chicken, andouille sausage and tasso ham, served with Cajun-style “dirty rice”. Figment has always liked Café Orleans' gumbo. It has a rich flavor, but it's not too spicy.
"Crescent City" Salad - Pan-seared Atlantic Salmon on top of fresh Spinach and Mixed Baby Greens, tossed with Caramelized Pecans, Red Grapes, Navel Orange Segments, Caramelized Onions, Chopped Green Onions, Roasted Sweet Corn, and Orange-Cilantro Vinaigrette. Figment likes this salad, especially the caramelized pecans and this salad is very good!
Carnation Cafe, Dinner
Figment has been going to Carnation Cafe more often recently. He's found he enjoys the food and it's a nice relaxing place to have a meal. The weather was pretty nice this time, so he opted to eat outside.
Walt's Chili - Hearty Chili topped with Cheese, Sour Cream, and fresh Tomatoes. Figment decided in honor of the 60th, he would try a bunch of the "Walt's" items. The chili had very good flavor and Figment would happily order it again.
Fried Pickles with Dipping Sauce - Dill Pickle Spears dipped in Parmesan and Panko, Fried Golden Brown and served with a House Sauce. This is Figment’s favorite appetizer at Carnation Café. He loves pickles!
Baked Potato Soup - with Bacon, Cheddar, Monterey Jack, Sour Cream, and Chives. This is one of Carnation Café’s signature items and it’s really good. It is very rich and filling, but well worth it.
Spinach Salad with Grilled Chicken - Grilled Chicken, Spinach, Boiled Eggs, Portobello Mushrooms, Feta Cheese, and Pickled Onions tossed with Golden Balsamic-Mustard Seed Vinaigrette. Figment opted to forgo the feta chese, but otherwise, this salad was outstanding. It was fairly light, but had lots of good flavor.
Walt's Favorite Homemade Meatloaf - Our special blend of Beef and Pork served with Ketchup Glaze, Mashed Potatoes, Mushroom Gravy, and Seasonal Vegetables. This meatloaf was very different from what Figment was expecting. It had firmer texture than regular meatloaf and a lot of really good flavor. Figment really liked this meatloaf.
