Jolly Holiday Bakery, Breakfast
Figment's first visit to Jolly Holiday Bakery. He couldn't wait to try the cupcakes. One was a chocolate raspberry cupcake and the other was the strawberry lemon. Both were very sweet and yummy. Figment also tried the blueberry muffin, which had a lot of blueberries and was also pretty good.

Matterhorn Macaroons: Lots of coconut, but had a pretty good flavor. Figment isn't normally a fan of coconut, but liked the Matterhorn Macaroon

Ralph Brennan's Jazz Kitchen, Lunch
Brennan's is one of Figment's favorite places to eat at DTD. He started off with the Bourbon Street Sampler. The calamari and fried artichoke hearts were his favorites! The ribs had good flavor (but messy) and the coconut shrimp were also tasty.

Louisiana Sautéed Seafood Salad:

Cochon De Lait Po-boy: Good flavor, but the jalapeño-bacon potato salad was way to hot!

Blackened Chicken Sandwich: Really good flavor; Figment isn't a big fan of slaw, so they let him substitute the garlic fries (yum!)

Andouille Grits: The only place where Figment has ever liked grits. They are very creamy and rich - almost more like polenta!

Beignets: It wouldn't be a trip to Brennan's without beignets!

Jolly Holiday Bakery, Dinner
Hot Angus Roast Beef on Toasted Onion Roll

Classic Chicken Noodle

Mickey Tart: Really rich and smooth chocolate filling and a short bread tart shell. Figment really liked it.

...More to come later...

Where is the Corn Dog Castle?

It's in DCA. Just past the Little Mermaid ride on the right hand side. They have the best corn dogs and cheese dogs!

Thanks!

They're a costume from Build-A-Bear. The slippers are from a Smallfry bunny bathrobe set and the egg is the easter costumes. I saw a few left at the DTD Build-A-Bear over the weekend.

Finishing up Figment's Disneyland Food Adventure...
Brennan's Jazz Kitchen, Brunch

Figment went back to Brennan's for brunch before heading home. He started with the Bourbon Street Sampler. It's still really good!

His previous favorite dish, the smothered pork with grits was no longer on the menu, so he tried the BBQ Shrimp and Grits. The shrimps were cooked wonderfully and the grits were good. The sauce had a good flavor, but it was pretty spicy. He's on the fence about ordering it again - it tasted good, but was pretty hot!

The Seafood Pot Pie was pretty good too. It had lots of yummy seafood (shrimps, crab, crawfish).

Finally, Figment does had a sweet tooth, so he tried the Bananas Foster French Toast. It was really sweet, yummy, but sweet. He couldn't finish all of the pieces, but it was really good.

As normal, Figment really enjoyed eating his way through Disneyland. He's looking forward to his next trip and is dreaming about all the yummy food he'll get to try then!

All these pictures are making me hungry! I'll be heading down to Anaheim in just over a month for a job fair and will be spending a couple of afternoons and maybe one full day in the parks. I'm definitely going to get a Tigger tail, I'd never seen them before this thread. And I'll be eating at some of my favorites, River Belle, Blue Bayou and the Hungry Bear. I can't wait! I'll be sure to take pictures and post them here.

Anyway, that's not what I'm here for. I'm also going in July with 8 family members. Most of the trip will be close to solo as I'm going to do a tour just basically doing my own thing. But we do want to get together for a couple of dinners. I was just talking to my mom about the Big Thunder Ranch BBQ and we're pretty sure we're going to make reservations there. I've read about the dessert cookie and am really looking forward to that, but I haven't seen a picture of it, nor do I have any idea how many it serves. We'll have a total of 9 people, should we order 2? More? Can someone help me out here?

How funny, I just found out that this is indeed the original thread I've been looking for for weeks!!!

I looked through all of my photos and I couldn't find one, sorry. The cookie is pretty big, and it's topped with ice cream and hot fudge sauce (comes in a little pitcher). There were four adults in my party (two with fairly big sweet tooth, two without); the cookie was too much for us (we ate about 3/4ths of it). So, depending on the appetites (and sweet tooth) of your group, I'd guess that two is enough.

Just remember that it takes a while to prepare, so it's best to order it early so that you don't have to wait. We usually order it when the server comes around for the drink order or when the first of the entree food arrives.

I have photos from my trip this week. I will try to get them posted tonight or tomorrow.

Thanks so much! That's exactly what I needed to know. I think we'll be good with one then. If anyone has a picture though I'm still very interested in seeing what it looks like.

Found this on the Disney Food blog. It's near the end of the review:

http://www.disneyfoodblog.com/2011/05/04/dining-in-disneyland-big-thunder-ranch-bbq/

I've had it, and it's very good, but so-o-o rich. It's freshly baked so it's served warm. I don't remember the size of the skillet, but that's a standard wide mouthed Mason jar that they use for drinks just to the above left of the skillet.

Perfect! Thank you! I don't know why I didn't think to search the food blog. Now I feel silly. But gee that looks amazing. Can't wait! I may have to have lunch there by myself when I go in May...
