My brother is taking my nephew to Disney in a couple of weeks (first trip) and they are staying with his best friend...he wanted to thank him with something nice and treating him to V&A's was out of the question seeing as HE WORKS THERE!!! Anyway... he asked me for my advice (something he does very rarely seeing as he's the oldest and I'm not... (I'm the baby...)) So I suggested RR and Jiko cause I told him Bendy suggested it...
So... ya better be right!!!!
(Don't worry the beer flights will get him...)
Well, I'm flattered that you'd take my advice and I hope he doesn't end up disappointed, althought I don't think he will.
BTW, how's your dad doing?
Hey, I'm coming out of lurkerdom (a word, not a word, who cares?) to read all about your dining adventures. I love, love, loved your last food porn thread, so I'm subbing this for sure! And because of your posts on RR, we are trying it for sure next year.
Allow me to welcome you into the bright light of posterdom!
Thanks so much for reading - I'm happy to know you're enjoying our food stories. And I hope you enjoy RR when you try it - be sure to let us know what you think!
You are SO back!
The only thing missing here is GRIMACE!
That graphic is screaming for a personalized text box
I know it's hard on you but MAN it's great for the home-viewers
I miss Grimace! That should be a bumper sticker... with a hidden Mickey somehow worked in.
OMG!!! That is awesome! I wonder if Jay could photoshop that and put my mom in there ... I'm sure he could.
And for you Mel, a brief Grimace update: she's actually been in a pretty good mood lately (no doubt because she's had lots of gambling to keep her occupied). She and Jon were in Vegas in August and now Jay's aunt wants her to come back in April for a slot tournament.
When I told her that Jay and I are taking a
Disney cruise next October she sounded like she wanted to come ...
I talked her out of it ... if she wasn't happy at WDW she'd be miserable on a ship. And I don't think she'd understand why so many strangers would refer to her as Grimace every time they spotted her wandering around the Magic.
Thanks for reading!
We LOVED Raglan Road too. I had the Shepherd's Pie and dh got the Guinness Stew. Yum yum yum!!! We thought it was great and will definitely go back in the future. Lucky you got that gift certificate...I got in too late!
We totally lucked into the GC ... I think I nabbed it around lunchtime on a day where the firewalls were down at work and I saw a post about it here on the DIS.
Thanks for reading!
Mmmmmm... Raglan Road!
Did you know that along with being the name of a fabulous snausage appetizer (my favorite!), Dalkey is the name of one of the many little villages that makes up greater Dublin? And further, that Bono lives there? (And for those of you who've never heard it said out loud and may have wondered, it's pronounced "dah-key", the "l" is silent.)
That is all. Carry on.
Hey there Litebrite! We always wondered what Dalkey represented, so thanks for edumacating us. No idea that the "l" was silent ... we've been mispronouncing for as long as we've been ordering it. D'OH!
Wow, bonus liquor! That was better than getting "dreamed" in the parks! I don't think I've ever had whisky that didn't taste like burning, all TN and KY bourbon burns like fire. We loved, loved RR, too. (And if I find time to get to the picture thing you can read all about it!)
I never thought about bonus liquor being better than a dream but for us that's probably true. You need to try some scotch, it can still burn but less so ... and not at all when paired with certain yummy foods.
I'm so glad to hear you enjoyed Raglan Road ... wasn't that your husband's birthday? Were they able to do anything special for him?
I showed DH the picture of the bangers and mashed and he said, "Yeah, we have to eat there!"
So we're on for April! Is the dancer there every night? I know my daughter would love that, so I'm going to shoot for a later reservation so we can catch the band. Good thing we're staying at SSR, after all the beer-y goodness we won't have far to go! Thanks for the great review!
Hey Lori, how ya doing? I hope you enjoy RR when you dine there in April - be sure to come back to let us know how it goes. The dancer is supposed to be there every night that the band plays, but she doesn't come out a whole lot. I think in two hours we saw her two or three times. Your best bet is to get there as close to nine as possible and then you'll be likely to see her at least twice.
