On a recent visit to Disneyland Park, my family and I decided it was time to make the French Market in New Orleans Square our next stop on the Culinary Quest. We expected great things, especially when considering its proximity to Cafe Orleans and Blue Bayou.

The very first blog I ever wrote professed my love for Steakhouse 55 at the Disneyland Hotel. I had heard that Steakhouse 55 served breakfast too, but had never really thought about partaking in it. One morning, as my wife and I were cruising the resort on a dining fact finding mission, we [...]

On a recent visit to Disney’s California Adventure, our Culinary Quest led us to Cocina Cucamonga Mexican Grill in the Pacific Wharf section of the park.  It offers the usual Mexican items such as burritos, tacos, and tostada salads.  Now, the title says a tale of TWO Mexican Restaurants.  What happened?  You’ll have to read [...]
