Disney Food Pictures...Part II

[SelfEmployedDebtFree]

Anyone have any Ohana pictures?

 

[FigmentFinder]

Wow--this thread went from lots of pics of food to how to get out of debt and who knows more about mexican food!

The least they could do is post pictures of Mexican food while they talk about it.

 

[HokieCruis'n]

Thanks for the great food pictures! I started to send my very first images, but I am not able to until I have 10 posts under my belt. So, this is my 7th post and counting...

My review:
I had read LOTS of poor reviews of this place. Everything from "it didn't move to I got sick from the movement to characters were dirty, to cold bland food.... etc etc etc. I went in with low expectations.
I was REALLY SURPRISED!!!

The scenery I LOVED. Living with the Land is one of my favorite rides in all WDW. I really enjoyed the "behind the scenes" views. The characters were minimal, but they were clean, and interaction was GREAT!
The food... the food... ohhh. I have to admit I was in HEAVEN with the food. The Homestyle Potato Casserole was the ONLY Disney meal I have EVER asked for the recipe from. We tried making it at home a couple times, and we couldn't even get close. It was delicious. Maybe we just had a good date, but EVERYTHING was perfect! AAMOF, the food was better than the dessert!!!
The meat was perfect too. It was ALL really good. Its a definite must do again.
The one thing I will point out is that the food here is all grown/raised on property (except for the meat), or so I'm told.
The food at The Garden Grill just tasted so healthy and lite. It was great after a lot of non-healthy foods we had consumed that trip. If your a health nut (or not) you'll especially like TGG.

We'll be dining here for the first time. I'm really looking forward to this meal since my boys love the Land boat ride.

I've heard that they recently changed the menu and switched the turkey with chicken. Anyone know if this is a permanent change?

I'm sure my dh will do the same thing - we LOVE LOVE LOVE proper English fish & chips! I soo hope that meal is authentically English I also hope the food in the France pavilion is authentic - otherwise, I'm going to have a very disappointed family on my hands (me included)!

Hey, maybe your dh and my dh can race for the fish & chips? That would be entertaining, I'm sure

A race would be hysterical!

We met a family from England on our bus to DHS and they claimed that the fish and chips were authentic - so that's the all we have to go by.

I've never dined in France (Epcot or the "real" one), can't help you on that one. I do know that the upstairs french restaurant is supposed to be one of the best restaurants on WDW property. I do love the quiche they serve in the bakery.

I don't think the menus are ever permanent . I know the Garden Grill has changed things around a few times with only a couple things remaining the same. We recently dined there and it was the rotissere chicken and the dessert was a berry puff pastry.

ok, i have 2 points to add, yes the harry ramsdens fish and chips are the same as we can buy in the uk.
2nd dh is a french head chef, so having lived and worked there for 8 years of my life i feel well placed to comment.
the food is genuine and authenic, but not neccasarily good.
the patesserie and boulangerie is excellent, ate loads of calories in there
also ate at CDF which we were v disappointed in. Yes this could have something to do with the fact we ate better than that french foods (when dh is cooking anyway )
the service was poor and the "kid" service was non existent. The french love kids, 2 of mine are french and were constantly spoiled when outin France, i do not expect better service than anyone else because we speak the language or can justify why the meal was poor (i teach hospitality so know a bit about it )
are considering BDF next time.
cakes good, the rest - just beware!
ps french cakes have no calories so enjoy loads while you are there
tracy

I don't mind repeats either, especially when they're pictures of the beautiful food from California Grill.

What kind of fudge is in the box, and how much did the box cost? I think I remember buying a box of six years ago, and it was only around $12, is that still about what it costs?

Can you buy the fudge with snack credits on the ddp?

 

[MUDisneyCouple]

Those sure are good pictures of the ginger cake and fruit tart!

Well thank you! Messed up the plate pic, but couldn't mess up the desserts They were really good too!

I rarely ever see my DH run for anything. As soon as we arrive in Epcot, he RUNS to the Fish n' Chips stand!

Good thing to warn people, so that they can get out of the way We loved the Fish 'n' Chips...those butter wafers are so rich; no calories in that either, right?

Here's a pic from 'Ohana from August:

Here's the "fire pit" and the huge skewers that the meat comes on:

Lapu Lapu

Table full of food and it just kept coming and coming and coming...

BEST part = dessert!!! Bread Pudding

We have more from our latest trip, but still need to upload them...more to come later on...

I nearly fell out of my chair. Darn! You beat me to it!!!!

Wow--this thread went from lots of pics of food to how to get out of debt and who knows more about mexican food!

You forgot about extreme home, strudel techniques, and marathons to the fish stand.

As far as who knows the most about food... I'm putting my bet in Apostolic. I love the way he describes food. You can hear the passion in every word!
So what kind of restaurant do you own Apostolic?
Oh, and congrats on the new addition!

I also have a question (for anyone). I've been finalizing my ADRs. I just don't see why The Brown Derby is a 2 star. The prices look pretty cheap for a signature.

OH, and does anyone have any pictures of the Surf N Turf at Narcoossee's?
Are any here already maybe waaaay back? Is anyone else booking their ADRS from this thread???

 

[MUDisneyCouple]

Is anyone else booking their ADRS from this thread???

We'd be lying if we said that it didn't factor in...with that said, how about food from LTT? Is the dinner good? Hoping to get an ADR for the MVMCP on the 7th.

Thanks for the compliment SelfEmployedDebtFree! For me food is a passion that has blossomed into a career.....I love everything about food: the history, the culture, the science, the artistry, the emotion associated with designing the perfect meal. Yeah, food has a way of getting my adrenaline pumping.

As for my restaurant.........a friend and I are currently in the development stages of a new concept. We are planning an Italian restaurant catering to families who are budget conscience but who also appreciate fresh ingredients, authentic Italian flavor, and a comfortable atmosphere. We will offer fresh baked Italian breads and pastries, fresh pastas served family style, and house made desserts. I have owned other places in the past which have covered things from simple pub style dining to wonderful French cuisine.

In the past year, I ended my tenure as an Executive Chef with a catering company who holds accounts at hundreds of museums, theme parks, country clubs and sports arenas nationally. I worked as the Exec. Chef for the account they ran in Charleston, WV. The two entities could not come to terms on a new contract so my company packed up and went back to New York..........my only option at that time was to move my family to NYC, but we are tied to WV (family, church, friends) so we choose to stay here.

Hope that info answers the questions my friend!!
