Restaurant reviews and recipes...formerly Disney QOTD

Casey's is on Main Street in MK, right? The place with the good hot dogs? If so, obviously I love the hot dogs. Fun to grab one while waiting for a parade.

 

[NEVERENOUGHWDW]

I really like Casey's. I never eat hot dogs but Casey's can always pull me in. It really brings back tradition from when we first started going to WDW in the 70's......so many great memories

Delicious hotdogs with a little mustard, relish and a little sauerkraut. mmmm Would like one right now!

 

[Meriweather]

We like Casey's hot dogs too
ON the BFF birthday trip in 2007, we even got a free dessert there.

Pizzafari...was a yearly favorite, but this year the boys discovered the new CS Yak and Yeti. We ate there twice!

Casey's..never eaten there, but walk through it ALL the time as a shortcut!

Casey's

Haven't eaten there, I need to start trying out some new places next time I'm at WDW.

 

[Pooh67_68]

Ate there once, John is not big on hot dogs but I like it.

Casey's, I haven't eaten at the one at WDW but have eaten at the one at Disneyland Paris a few times. Fine if you like hotdogs I guess, which we do!

Not big on hot dogs. So could take them on leave them. (Although when hot dogs are cooked on a grill, then they are pretty good.)
From what I have been reading on the restaurant boards, evidently WDW dogs are now not all beef. Can't say that makes a difference to me one way or another.

2 - 3 years ago for the Christmas parade taping Regis and Kelly Ripa were seated on a little stage right outside of Casey's. I kept thinking they must be so sick of smelling sauerkraut all day.
I don't recall seeing the stage at that location again.

Well dang, guess I won't be eating there in Nov.

From what I have been reading on the restaurant boards, evidently WDW dogs are now not all beef.

Restaurant to be review today, 1-3, is

Tony's Town Square

I thought I'd post some recipes that are in that book I finally found.

TONY'S HOUSE DRESSING

2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
3/4 cup red wine vinegar
2 teaspoons garlic, fresh, chopped
1/2 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
3 tablespoons pimientos, diced
1/2 teaspoon pepperm freshly ground
1/4 teaspoon salt

Blend all ingredients well in a large bowl with a wire wisk. Store in a glass or plastic container.
Keep refrigerated.

What's the point then? We do hot dogs RIGHT in Chicago, and they are beef! Kosher, Vienna beef, being the BEST! If Casey's is going to 'Oscar Mayer', I can get that anywhere.

Otherwise, we liked Casey's on all our past trips.

Chicken Pot Pie

Recipe By :50's Prime Time Cafe, Disney-MGM Studios
Serving Size : 0 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Casseroles Pie


Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 cup chicken tenderloins -- uncooked
1 cup broccoli -- tops only
1/2 cup carrots -- cubed
1/2 cup celery -- cubed
1/4 cup leeks -- diced
3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons flour
3 cups milk or half and half
1 cup Parmesan cheese -- grated
2 chicken bouillon cubes
Pastry dough for a single pie (double
crust)
1 egg -- beaten

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
In boiling salted water, simmer chicken tenderloins, broccoli, carrots, celery, and leeks until chicken is fully cooked and vegetables are tender, but still firm (about 15 minutes). Drain well and set aside.
In a medium sized skillet, melt butter and add flour. Cook for 5 minutes and add milk or half-and-half. Bring to a boil and simmer until thickened (about 10 minutes). Dissolve chicken bouillon cubes in 1/4 cup warm water and add to sauce. Blend in grated Parmesan cheese and remove from heat. Add cooked chicken and vegetables and mix well.
Pour mixture into a deep-dish pie plate and cover with pie dough. Seal edges well and brush top with beaten egg.
Bake until crust is golden brown and the filling is hot (about 45 to 50 minutes). Brushing a little milk on the top of the pie dough before baking will give the crust a delightful color.

It is one of my favorites. We go every visit. The food is really good. Love the atmosphere and it can be loads of fun.

On the BFF birthday trip, BFF got caught tattling and had to get up and sing "I'm a Little Tea Pot". Too funny She loved it!!

 

[Pooh67_68]

We love 50's, such good food.
