Continuing with Laissez les Bons Temps Rouler! Figment Goes to Disneyland for Mardi Gras!
Café Orleans (Lunch)
It’s been a very long time since Figment ate at Café Orleans, but he’d been reading about the pomme frites and the gumbo and decided to give it a try. Most of the seating is outdoors, so he was really hoping for good weather…it was nice out when he was seated, but dark clouds rolled in and by the time Figment finished his meal it was sprinkling! This is one time Figment was glad he didn’t order dessert! (Café Orleans is another venue, like Wine Country Trattoria, with limited indoor seating, so if the weather is bad, they pretty much only seat folks with a reservation.)
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.
Pommes Frites –“ Traditional French-fried potatoes tossed with Parmesan cheese, garlic and parsley, served with a Cajun spice remoulade.” These are very yummy!
New Orleans Gumbo –“ A Rich, Flavorful Stew with Chicken, Andouille Sausage and Tasso Ham, Served with Cajun-Style Dirty Rice.” The gumbo was not too spicy and had good flavor. The bowl was pretty large and made a great starter (it goes great with pomme frites!).
Chicken Gumbo Crepe –“ Sauteed Chicken, Andouille Sausage, Tasso Ham, and Creole Gumbo Sauce.” The gumbo had a slight bite, but it was still tasty.
"Crescent City" Salad – “Pan-seared Atlantic Salmon on Top of Fresh Spinach and Mixed Baby Greens, Tossed with Carmelized Pecans, Red Grapes, Navel Orange Segments, Caramelized Onions, Chopped Green Onions, Roasted Sweet Corn, and Orange-Cilantro Vinaigrette.” Figment liked the salad, with lots of different items in it. It was a nice change from the heavier/richer gumbo.
Seafood Herb Crepe –“ Pan-seared Sustainable Fish, Shrimp, and Scallops in a Creamy Tomato-Fennel Sauce.” This was Café Orleans’s Bayou Bash offering. IT’s on the normal menu, but it comes with fresh vegetable slaw instead of the “normal” potatoes. Figment liked all of the shrimp and scallops (the fish was okay).
Overall, Figment liked Café Orleans. The Pomme Frites and Gumbo were very tasty. The filling for the two crepes tasted good, but their presentation was a little lacking. The crepe itself was kind of soggy, so Figment skipped eating that part in both cases. Figment would go back to Café Orleans, but he’d pick a day when it wasn’t likely to rain!

Funny you should ask...Figment got those beads by eating at Cafe Orleans. Each table had a bead necklace on it...Figment was lucky enough to seated at a table that had purple beads!I love Figment's Mardi Gras outfit! What did he do to get those beads?

Continuing with Laissez les Bons Temps Rouler! Figment Goes to Disneyland for Mardi Gras!
Ralph Brennan’s Jazz Kitchen (Lunch)
Figment decided to have his Mardi Gras day lunch at Ralph Brennan’s Jazz Kitchen. The restaurant had as special menu for Mardi Gras. Some of it was just featuring normal menu items, but they did have variation on their normal gumbo.
Bourbon Street Sampler – “Popcorn Calamari, Coconut Shrimp, Blackened Chicken Spring Rolls, and Arancini.” This is Figment’s favorite starter at Brennan’s and he gets it almost all of the time. Figment’s favorites are the calamari and Brennan’s version of arancini (fried rice balls).
BBQ Shrimp & Grits – “New Orleans style BBQ sauce and andouille grits.” This is Figment’s favorite dish at Brennan’s. The grits are creamy, with bits of andouille sausage (but not too spicy). The shrimp are tender and the BBQ sauce is a little spicy, but very good.
Pasta Jambalaya –“ Gulf shrimp, andouille sausage, roasted chicken, spinach fettuccine, Creole seasoning.” Figment likes Brennan’s Jamabalya, but it’s pretty spicy.
Creole Jambalaya – “Gulf shrimp, andouille sausage, roasted chicken, spinach fettuccine, Creole seasoning over dirty rice.” In honor of Mardi Gras, Figment tried the Creole Jambalaya on the special Mardi Gras menu. While the jambalaya wasn’t as hot as the Pasta Jambalaya, it still had quite a bite to it. Good flavor, but for anyone who isn't into really spicy food, it was still too hot.
French Market (Dinner)
The French Market is one of Figment’s favorite counter service locations at Disneyland. During the day, the live music from the Royal Street Bachelors is fun to listen to, but they don’t perform close to closing. Still, Figment likes the food at the French Market.
Na Awlin's Salad –“ Lettuce Medley, Julienned Yams, Granny Smith Apples, caramelized Pecans, Lentils, and Tart Cherries with a sweet Citrus Vinaigrette.” Figment wanted to try this salad (the caramelized pecans and cherries sounded really good). The salad was really good and was a lighter meal than he’d been having lately.
Royal Street Chicken Caesar –“Crispy Romaine lettuce, Citrus Chicken, Parmesan cheese, Croutons, with a traditional Caesar dressing.” Figment also decided to try the Caesar salad. The chicken was tasty and the salad was good.
Shrimp Fritters – “Shrimp and Sweet Corn Fritters with Jicama Cole Slaw.” Being Mardi Gras, the French Market had a Mardi Gras themed item! The shrimp and corn fritters were very good. The dipping sauce reminded Figment of the remoulade served with the pomme frites at Café Orleans.
Mardi Gras Cupcake – the French Market also had a special Mardi Gras inspired cupcake. It was a chocolate cupcake, topped with chocolate mousse. Very sweet, but very good!
That's it for the Mardi Gras food...but there is still more food photos to come!
Figment is happy that people like his food reviews/photos.

Continuing with Laissez les Bons Temps Rouler! Figment Goes to Disneyland for Mardi Gras!
Figment finished posting the photos of the Mardi Gras-focused foods last time, so now it's on to the other yummy places he tried this trip.
Carthay Circle (Dinner)
Figment started out his trip with dinner at Carthay Circle. He hasnt been to dinner at Carthay in a while, but the menu looked good.
Bread Service Dinner starts with bread (sourdough) and lots of butter. Figment liked the bread, but he didnt eat much because there better things coming!
Ginger Pork Pot Stickers Accented with Lemon Grass and Mango Voodoo Sauce. Figment decided to try something new this time. The pot stickers were very good. The pot stickers themselves were pretty mild, but flavorful. The slaw underneath was spicy!
Carthay Signature Fried Biscuits Stuffed with White Cheddar, Bacon, and Jalapeno, Served with Apricot Honey Butter. Ah these are Figments favorite item at Carthay Circle. Served hot, with a slightly melty center, theyre so good! Figment could probably make a whole meal eating just these.
Strozzapreti Pasta With Pancetta, Dried Tomatoes, Rapini, Roasted Garlic and Aged Provolone. Figment liked this pasta dish. There was lots of variety and who doesnt like pancetta?
Whole Roasted Petit Chicken Squash Puree, Sauteed Chanterelles and Sage Essence. Figment liked the moist chicken with very crisp skin.
Thick Cut Pork Chop Thyme Roasted Pears, Brussels Sprouts and Brandy Thyme Jus. Figment was a little unsure about the pears in this dish, but they were really good! The pork chop was super moist and flavorful. The pears added a nice sweetness to the dish and the Brussels sprouts were very good (slightly still firm, so not mushy).
Carthay Circle Lounge (Dinner)
Figment decided to have dinner at the Carthay Circle Lounge. There is a small menu of items (mostly appetizer type items), but there is enough variety to make a meal of it. There are also lots of drinks, including a fair number of non-alcoholic options.
Wildberry Lemonade All Natural Lemonade with Flavors of Blackberry, Strawberry, Raspberry, and Blueberry with a Spritz of Purified Sparkling Water, Topped with Wildberry Fruit Foam. Figment had this drink last time and liked it, so he ordered it again. Its very sweet, so it stand by itself nicely.
California Wine Country Soda All Natural and Non-Alcoholic, Sweetened Only with the Juice of California Varietal Grapes. Figment was a little unsure about this; hes not a wine drinker and wanst sure if non-alcoholic wine tasted like wine. He ordered the Rose. At first it was kind of bland tasting, but it improved once food arrived. Its mild flavor went well with food and it turned out to be a surprise hit.
*Side note, but Figment was happy to learn that a couple of the Wine Country Soda varieties are actually available at his local grocery store. So he can get it whenever he wants!
Carthay Flat Bread Citrus Marinated Chicken with Mascarpone, Red Peppers and Petite Mint. Figment liked the flat bread the last time he was at Carthay Lounge, so he thought hed try it again. Sadly, this new version wasn't quite his thing. The runny Mascarpone cheese was kind of unpleasant and the flavor was lacking. Not something hed order again.
Vietnamese Twice Cooked Beef Tacos With Fresh Pineapple Mint Salsa. Figment liked these little tacos. There was a lot of flavor in the meat and the presentation was cute. They were slightly spicy, but nothing too bad.
Lobster Pad Thai Imperial Roll With Cashew Tamarind Sauce. This is Figments favorite items at the Carthay Lounge. Lots of big chunks of lobster in each roll. So yummy!

Continuing with Laissez les Bons Temps Rouler! Figment Goes to Disneyland for Mardi Gras!
Rainforest Café (Dinner)
After re-discovering Rainforest Café in October, Figment decided to head back there this trip. He planned ahead and joined the Landry Select Club and it really made a different. Figment and his family didnt have a reservation and the walk-up wait time was 45 minutes, but for those guests with a Landry Club it was more like 20 minutes. Figment was pretty hungry after a day in the parks, so he was glad for the shorter wait.
Souvenir Light Up Cup Figment loves light up souvenir cups! Bright flashing lights!
Spinach and Artichoke Dip Creamy Spinach, Tender Artichokes and Melted Monterey Jack, Parmesan, and Cream Cheeses, Topped with Pica de Gallo and Served Warm with Crispy Tri-Color Tortilla Chips. Figment started the meal with the spinach and artichoke dip. It was very rich, but very tasty.
Amazon Fajitas Sizzling Beef Fajitas Served Over Grilled Onions and Bell Peppers. Figment decided to try the fajitas. They were tasty and pretty filling.
Mojo Bones Slow-Roasted, St. Louis Style Pork Spareribs, Basted with Our Smokin' Mojo BBQ Sauce and Served with Safari Fries and Coleslaw. Figment loved the mojo bones last time, so he decided to order a full rack this time. Theyre fall off the bone tender, with lots of sauce. So much yummy goodness.
Side of Deep Fried Shrimps Figment decided to get a side of deep fried shrimp to go with the mojo bones. They were okay, but were a little dry.
Next time...Storyteller's Lunch, Plaza Inn, and Much More!

More figment and food, I demand more figment and food. Those ribs at Rainforest café look good. We always go there with the grandkids.
I notice there is a lot of food so I'm assuming you go with a lot of other people, or you take pictures of peoples food at other tables.

Storytellers Café (Lunch)
Figment decided to try at least one new place this trip: Storytellers Café. Hed walked by before, but never stopped to eat. His reservation was for the first lunch seating (meaning some folks were still having breakfast when he got there). The characters were still around (he got to meet one - Koda he things, but he isn't as familiar with Brother Bear as some of the Disney movies).
Charred Nebraska Corn Chowder With Rotisserie Chicken, Bacon, and Cilantro. This is supposed to be one of the Signature dishes at Storytellers so Figment wanted to try it. It was very good very rich, but very good.
Bread Service - Cornbread Muffins and regular bread. The cornbread was warm and moist. Figment liked these a lot, so much so, that he skipped the plain rolls. (The cornbread tasted really good with the soup.)
Slow-Roasted Turkey Clubhouse On Toasted Country Bread with Bacon and Fresh Slices of California Avocado served with French Fries or Fresh Fruit. The sandwich was huge! Figment really liked that the turkey slices were thick and moist.
Cobb Salad Chicken, Avocado, Bacon, Tomato, Egg and Ranch Dressing. The Cobb salad actually looked kind of like the one at Hollywood Brown Derby. Everything was fresh and very good.
Salmon Spinach Panzanella Atlantic Salmon served with a Baby Spinach Salad with Caramelized Button Mushrooms, Roasted Red Bell Peppers, and Garlic-Herb Croutons tossed with a Balsamic Vinaigrette. The salmon had very good flavor and the salad was a nice balance. Figment really liked the button mushrooms.
Next time...Plaza Inn and then snacks other random yummies!
nana50, LILOLO, and lulubelle: thanks! I'm glad to hear that folks enjoy Figment's food-based adventures through Disneyland.
That would be funny, asking random strangers to take a photo of their meals with Figment! I wonder if people would let me. Actually, Figment goes with his family (three adults), who all like to eat...

Plaza Inn (Lunch)
Figment returned to the Plaza Inn for the last meal of the trip. He remembered seeing the Princess/Pirate Chest dessert and had been hoping to get one this time, along with the really yummy fried chicken.
Plaza Inn Specialty Chicken Three pieces of chicken, fried to a golden brown, seasoned with distinctive herbs and spices. Served with mashed potatoes, buttermilk biscuit and mixture of vegetables. This was one of the dishes that the Plaza Inn is best known for. The chicken was crispy on the outside and tender and moist on the inside. It was very good...kind of messy, but really good.
Penne Pasta - Topped with Parmesan cheese, Served with a Breadstick and Bolognese Sauce. The pasta was good, but the chicken was better.
Princess Chest Dessert The Princess Chest Dessert come with a flag and foam mirror. The cake is pretty boring (white or chocolate) and the frosting was kind of overly sweet. While the dessert itself wasn't very interesting, the chest is a fun souvenir (and it goes with the Pirate one he got from Starring Rolls in DHS).

I often wonder how many of us Disboards folks walk right by each other when in the parks without ever knowing. I suppose there aren't that many Disboard posters compared the number of guests in the parks on a given day, but it would be pretty fascinating to know. Anyway, yes, if you ever see Figment in the parks, come say hi![/I]

I just want to add that I love the figment_jill reviews! I enjoy them on both coasts even if I don't post much. I just realized that I can post some stuff from my recent trip with jedijill on this thread because we ate at a couple restaurants. Normally I just pop in and out of the resort and don't get to post about food! Be back soon with some pics!
