Thanks for the Kouzzina review! There have been so many mixed reviews about it... Still, it looks like just a "modern" greek restaurant like there are so many popping up here in Germany that it still isn't very high on my list. And your galaktoboureko looks just like what I would get here in Germany, and I never had a lemon involved in it at all...
Your new trip sounds very exciting (including the fact that you get to speak at a neational conference! ). So they now have dine with an imagineer at Flying Fish? That sounds exciting!! I need to check out the restaurant board more often again...
Yes, they moved the Dinner with an Imagineer from Artist Point to Flying Fish as a test, but only during March and April, so doing it in May is really uncertain and I'm keeping my fingers crossed that they offer it. There's a Lunch with an Imagineer at the Brown Derby that we might do if the dinner doesn't open up, but we actually wanted to eat at Flying Fish and we're not into Brown Derby. (Actually we're not into the Studios at all, we were planning to do a half day there at the most.)
It is pretty standard Greek food--better than some I've been to, but mostly not as good as the little taverna across the street from my old apartment (home of the aforementioned galaktoboureko) where Grandma was the head chef, her kids were the sous chefs and her grandkids were the servers. So if you really like Greek food (and we do), it was definitely worth trying, but not if you get it all the time (we didn't have any Mexican food on our vacation, for example!). BTW it seemed like both of Kouzzina's desserts had more filling and less pastry than would be normal.
We're definately Omnivores, esp. my DH and 21 yo DS. I could eat alot less meat and be perfectly happy, but they are not even close to Veg. Eating out is a real challenge for DH, he isn't as committed as I am tho, so he is pretty flexible.
I saw that WPE had Niman bacon, I didn't realize their other pork and beef was also Niman. I was plannng to go there for that breakfast pizza you had. It looks yummy.
Congrats on your presentation. That's exciting.
I don't know about all their pork, but the beef in the sandwich and salad that we had on Saturday night was from Niman Ranch. But we were there before they changed the menu, so I don't know if it still is.
Thanks for the congratulations! Now I just need to get into writing it.
