New menus for Blue Bayou and Cafe Orleans

[katiesue]

We tried to go yesterday but they were castmember previews and a few guest walk-ins. They said to try back later but we were starved so oh well, next time.

Wow, I sounded angry in the post you quoted.

I'm just tired of portobellos, is all. And really, if it's a meat replacement, why aren't they fixed in a more interesting manner than "atop couscous"? Meats get fun sauces, spices, fancy names, interesting side dishes. The poor portobello gets grilled and served. Then again, I'm seeing less of the "portobello burger" dishes on menus recently.


I was thinking about this couscous thing the other day, and I think that quinoa is the new couscous, like couscous was the new rice (seems to be trendy now). I hope that soon feta can be the new gorgonzola.

Naw, you just sounded tired of Portabellas. Really, I'll talk to Chris, see what he has to say on the matter. The menu is set, but perhaps at a latter date they can experiment with something different. With interesting sauces too!

I'm not really one to talk, living in Florida and all (it'll be a while before I get back to DLR), but maybe with the large numbers of locals frequenting DLR, changing menus (or parts of them) would be a good thing in CA. Give those locals something new to come try every so often.



Steph--thanks for that link. The pictures look goooood. I think I may want to try that heart-attack on a plate cheese Monte Cristo.

I think I'm in the minority, but I'll still be dining at the BB. You can't beat the atmosphere and, unless I'm getting this wrong, if one person orders an entree and the other person wishes to split that plate for 5 bucks, that lowers the overall price for the two of you considerably. Plus, the selections sound yummy. I think it was in a MousePlanet article I read, that what they're trying to do is make BB the fine dining establishment in Disneyland. Now, do they still have the Mint Juleps???

I don't know if yesterday was some sort of special preview day, but I saw several people carrying large Blue Bayou menus in the park.
