Here it is: the last of my four Walt Disney World food roundups. Last but not least — because of Epcot’s international theme, it’s one of the most interesting Disney parks to eat in.
Here’s a roundup of the stuff I ate at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. Spoiler alert: almost everything was pretty good.
Did I eat a bunch of junk while at Disney’s Hollywood Studios? You bet I did.
I know Guy Fieri gets a lot of flack, but I like him. Yes, he’s got some pretty strong bro/frat-boy vibes, but that’s mostly just part of the act. He’s way more knowledgeable about food than your standard Food Network personality — he’s a professionally trained chef who already had his own restaurants long before he stepped foot in front of the camera.
He’s also a fairly charismatic host. Diners, Drive-ins and Dives is a good show, and I will fight anyone who says otherwise.
Food is everywhere in the park at Disneyland, and a lot of it is surprisingly good. So obviously I tried a bunch of stuff. My thoughts after the jump.
There’s a popular breakfast in Budapest called langos — fried bread, traditionally topped with sour cream and cheese.
A vendor at the back of the Rákóczi Market Hall called JóKrisz Lángos Sütöde serves these things, and man, they’re good.
McDonald’s in Hungary has a pork burger called the Pig McFarm, and it’s actually pretty interesting.
You can’t go wrong with fried cheese. There’s something about the gooey/crispy contrast that’s always going to be satisfying.
I went to McDonald’s. In Brussels. For real this time! I saw the Golden Arches and everything, so I can say with a reasonable degree of certainly that I wasn’t tricked into going to a different restaurant (again).
Here’s a weird thing that happened: I saw a location of McDonald’s in the Brussels airport, went in, ordered, and then ate my food. Not so weird, right? Here’s the weird part: it wasn’t McDonald’s. It was a Belgian fast food chain called Quick.
