Roller ... aka Ed 351 Posted October 28, 2014 Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 There is an item NOT on the menu at Trails End. It is an item from Chef TJ. I know it's available at lunch, but not sure about other times.Hot Balls of Fire - Fried Oreo Cookies with Chocolate Sauce. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tri-Circle-D 2,059 Posted October 28, 2014 Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 What the Fort, Ed? How long have you been keeping this little secret? And how is it that you're on a first name basis with the Chef? TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites

She loves the Fort, btw. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Beckers 1,136 Posted October 28, 2014 Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 Hmmm. Considering I will most likely eat at TE for lunch on arrival day, and Adam has food allergies, which means I will be speaking to a chef... I will take one for the team on 11/8 and properly investigate this. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted October 28, 2014 Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 I'm not surprised Deb was tuned into Chef TJ being at the Fort. He has a pretty big reputation with online Disney Foodie Fan-dom. There are people that have "stalked" him all over WDW (he's worked at several locations) because he's known to create special off-menu dishes. Before he was at the Fort he worked at 'Ohana and was known for the amazing vegetarian and allergy-friendly dishes he'd prepare, to the point that people who weren't even vegetarians and didn't have allergies would request them.

Roller ... aka Ed 351 Posted October 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 He still prepares vegan and vegetarian meals. Just ask for him, and he'll work with you. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DaveInTN 3,247 Posted October 28, 2014 Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 He still prepares vegan and vegetarian meals. Just ask for him, and he'll work with you. That's great to know! I am unexpectedly excited to eat at Trails End now....I just hope he's there when we are. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beckers 1,136 Posted October 28, 2014 Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 I'm wondering if Disney moved him because of his following. O'hana never has openings, right? Trails end is easier to get into. Move popular chef that people will follow to less busy restaurant. Brillant! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Roller ... aka Ed 351 Posted October 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 A friend of Deb's just posted - "I just visited Chef TJ at Fort Wilderness for the first time last week, and he made her an AMAZING 6-course vegan meal. He is a remarkable chef" I am going to HAVE to get by there for Lunch while I'm there - probably the 9th, if anyone will be there and want's to join in. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure but there's been a whole lot of angst among Chef TJ's followers to him leaving 'Ohana. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
devores 382 Posted October 28, 2014 Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 EVERYONE needs to order this supersecret dish and tell them Deb sent us there. See how popular she is after 1000 fiends start ordering special dishes. And demand it. If Deb can get it, why cant we...... Did I ever mention I hate bloggers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted October 28, 2014 Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 LOL Dave X2! Well as in all things interwebz-related, once the word gets out, it becomes "a thing." There have been all kinds of special pixie dust stuff at WDW that's gone away once word got out and people started demanding it. It does make me wonder if they moved Chef TJ out of 'Ohana because of his over zealous fans. I'm not sure how long he's been at the Fort. It hasn't been super long, but I think it's been at least several months. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WannaBeImagineer 98 Posted October 28, 2014 Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 Hey I read about this today. Our very own CDNCruiser was there with Deb and they had them at dinner. CDNCruiser, if you see this really enjoying your trip report as always!WBI Quote Link to post Share on other sites

See how popular she is after 1000 fiends start ordering special dishes. And demand it. If Deb can get it, why cant we...... Did I ever mention I hate bloggers. I totally agree. While one kiss-up guest (Deb) is getting the royal treatment, what do the regular slobs who paid good money to eat there get? This reminds me of a recent experience we had at Captain Cooks. During the remodel, they took away the touch screens. Now, to order, everyone stands in one line while a CM at the end takes your order. Then you have to take that paper ticket to a cashier to pay. Stupidest thing I've ever seen. Anyway, we were there later in the afternoon, and it wasn't too busy. There were two parties ahead of us in line, so that shouldn't be bad. Well, sure enough, the lady in the first party didn't know what she wanted, and she had some kind of special dietary needs. I couldn't hear the whole conversation, but I could hear her complain to the CM taking the orders about her limited choices. I heard her say "is that all- I can only pick from these three things?" And then, "may I speak to the chef?". Mind you, it is very clear that this guest is holding up the only line in the place where the rest of us can order. Of course, she wouldn't think to step aside so the rest of us who knew what we wanted could order. Nor, did the CM at the podium suggest it, because that wouldn't be magical. A couple of minutes later, a chef comes out from back with a big notebook so she could review things with this guest. Fortunately, the chef had enough sense to pull the lady aside and let other guests place orders. But, what the heck? This is a quick serve location, not some fancy restaurant. Does this lady do that at McDonalds? She's a grown woman. She knows what she can and cannot eat. There were three things on the menu she could pick from, but none of those were good enough for her. She needed something special. All the while making the rest of us wait. Disney creates this problem, and the bloggers make it worse. TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beckers 1,136 Posted October 28, 2014 Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 I was just looking at the dessert menu. There are 5 things listed and 3 adam can't eat because they contain nuts and the other 2 I think he couldn't eat either because of cross contamination issues (I'm assuming based on their normal dessert policies). Anyway, I belong to a food allergy group about Disney and people totally get pissy when their kid doesn't get something that another did. All I want is my kid to get a safe meal and not end up in an ambulance. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
