Tri-Circle-D 2,059 Posted September 29, 2015 Report Share Posted September 29, 2015 Yikes. I don't know about this one. I've been meaning to try the pot roast one, but it just never sounds good when I'm actually there. That photo of the chicken one scares me a little. TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted September 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2015 I like mac and cheese. I like barbecue chicken. I don't think I want them both together, but I'll wait until TCD has a chance to try it to decide. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tri-Circle-D 2,059 Posted September 29, 2015 Report Share Posted September 29, 2015 Is that cole slaw wtf?!?!? It sure is. And bread crumbs. And according to the blogger, it's "spot on" : The presentation is spot on. On top of the chicken was a nice amount of coleslaw and bread crumbs. The coleslaw was especially a nice surprise and offered a nice cool, crunchy texture comparison to the chicken and mac. Slapping cole slaw onto something is an old trick at Disney. Remember the Southern Smothered hot dogs at the Meadow Snack Bar at the Fort? TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted September 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2015 Is that cole slaw wtf?!?!? The old southern smothered hot dog at the Meadows snack bar included cole slaw on it... and it was darned good. But it wasn't mac and cheese. That just sounds weird.

BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted September 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2015 I miss that. Yeah... and that was one case where the presentation was just a mess, but the taste was great. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Beckers 1,136 Posted September 29, 2015 Report Share Posted September 29, 2015 Speaking of Disney butt kissing. I'm going to Minnie's holiday and dine opening night. I've heard rumors bloggers will be there. Can't wait to compare my experience with theirs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But it wasn't mac and cheese. That just sounds weird. Slaw on Hot Dogs is a pretty typical Southern thing. Heck slapping slaw on just about any sandwich is common or at least around these parts it is. I don't find the food in the pictures very appetizing. It would look a lot better to me if they used a flat tray to keep it all separate. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I've heard rumors bloggers will be there. Can't wait to compare my experience with theirs. Your experience will be the same. The only difference is that you're going to be paying a small fortune to be there, while the bloggers are there for free. It's amazing how that can change your perception of things. The bloggers LOVED that lukewarm $20 fried egg dish at BOG. Me, not so much. TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The only thing we have up this way that's close to that is a popular landmark up in Manchester called The Puritan where they put it on their fried haddock sandwich. Sounded weird the first time I tried it, but it's great. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bhall 115 Posted September 29, 2015 Report Share Posted September 29, 2015 Not one part of that looks tasty. I'm not even sure the dogs would even eat that....and the one dog has been known to raid the cat litter box once in awhile. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shoreline99 137 Posted September 30, 2015 Report Share Posted September 30, 2015 I plan on doing a food and beverage review of our trip in a few weeks. Definitely not a Disney blogger, btw. BradyBzLyn...Mo 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ftwildernessguy 778 Posted September 30, 2015 Report Share Posted September 30, 2015 While the name is different, the hot dog is still available at the Meadows snack bar. I can't remember what it is called offhand, but it is the same hot dog/pulled pork/coleslaw combination. You guys have to expand your horizons and read the descriptions of the food, not assume because you don't see the old familiar name that it doesn't exist. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sounded weird the first time I tried it, but it's great. The sandwich sounds pretty good to me. What's weird is how y'all took a fruit based drink served over shaved ice (frappe) and turned it into a milkshake (you know the kind made with ice cream). Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Travisma 1,317 Posted September 30, 2015 Report Share Posted September 30, 2015 The mac and cheese combos sound good, but that looks like an awful small portion for the price. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Excuse me, Mark, but did you miss this part of the unbiased and objective blogger's post?: So let’s dig into that Barbecue Chicken Macaroni and Cheese! Like the other mac and cheese counter-service options in WDW, you are getting a TON of food. There you have it. It's not a small portion. It's a TON (all caps) of food- just like all the other mac and cheese counter-service options at WDW. TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites
