The Magic Kingdom is the classic Disney park, and it serves some pretty memorable food.
After spending a couple of days at the two Disney parks in California, I immediately flew to Orlando to spend four days at the four Disney parks in Orlando. Because hey, if you’re going to do something, you may as well go all the way. Multi-day Disney extravaganza it is.
Amorette’s Patisserie is a bakery in Disney Springs that sells some seriously fancy looking pastries.
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.
Jose Andres is a celebrity chef who specializes in higher-end Spanish eats. He has a bunch of restaurants in various States, but I mostly know him from a delightful cooking/travel show called Made in Spain he hosted several years ago. His enthusiasm for Spanish cuisine was infectious. I wish he’d do another one.
When I found a cheap flight from Europe to Los Angeles, I took it as a sign. Clearly, I should be going to Disneyland. I mean, that’s what any rational person would do in that situation, right?
I don’t normally post stuff like this, but this was such a pleasant surprise that I felt like I had to share.
I’m just gonna say it. Pastries in Copenhagen > pastries in Paris.
Yeah, that’s right. I went there.
The tebirkes at Meyers Bageri was so good, I kinda had to go back.
I can’t say no to a pork sandwich. Whether it’s porchetta in Italy, leitão assado in Portugal, or gua bao in Taiwan, a really well prepared pork sandwich is a thing of beauty. It’s one of the best things in the world.
