>> Cannot go wrong with that.
0:58
>> Can't go wrong with that.
0:58
>> It's so good.
0:59
>> Yeah, it's it's hard. I I I think guests
1:02
would be upset if we were to take it off
1:03
the menu.
1:04
>> I would be upset.
1:05
>> There you go.
1:06
>> That's why it's
1:07
>> I will come every Sunday during food and
1:09
wine just for that.
1:11
>> And things that are fun such as like the
1:13
chicheró nachos um that are in a cup.
1:15
>> Oh, that's cool.
1:16
>> Yeah. We invite our guests to be a
1:18
little bit interactive with that. free
1:20
to shake it up, make a mess in the cup,
1:22
and then walk around and enjoy the
1:24
>> So, you're giving us permission to play
1:26
with our food? Yes.
1:27
>> I love it.
1:27
>> Yes. You know, we were told as
1:29
youngsters, not play,
1:30
>> never play with your food.
1:31
>> Play with your food.
1:32
>> Love it. Thank you.
1:33
>> Absolutely. And then, of course, a lot
1:35
of the different offerings from around
1:37
the brick and mortar locations that we
1:39
have, such as award winners, one of my
1:41
favorite items, the uh toteno.
1:44
So,
1:45
>> that looks so good.
1:46
>> Yeah.
1:47
And the grilled cheese, artichoke
1:49
grilled cheese that we have at P.
1:50
>> Also very good.
1:51
>> Is it right?
1:52
>> I loved it. I I kind of wish it was a
1:54
little bit cooler today and maybe even a
1:56
little bit of rain cuz like that would
1:59
just be the perfect day.
2:00
>> Yeah, absolutely.
2:01
>> Like if it's going to rain at
2:02
Disneyland,
2:03
>> you might as well have a grilled cheese
2:04
sandwich.
2:05
>> Absolutely.
2:06
>> Yes.
2:06
>> Um I know there's so many offerings and
2:08
one way to kind of facilitate that for
2:10
you, we do offer the sip and saver pass.
2:12
>> I love the sip and saver pass
2:13
>> or an 810.
2:14
>> Go with eight, right? Um, can we can we
2:17
talk about this one real quick? Ramen
2:19
mac and cheese,
2:19
>> just because we did get the demo and I
2:21
have tried it and I loved it. Can you
2:23
just kind of explain what it is?
2:24
>> Absolutely. So, uh, this mac and cheese,
2:26
it's a little mixture of like your
2:28
traditional yellow mac and cheese,
2:30
right? But it has this punch of umami.
2:32
>> So, it's like the saltiness of that
2:34
ramen. If you're familiar with ramen,
2:35
you know, it you're expecting a little
2:37
salty, savory, and a bunch of different
2:39
flavors come together, right?
2:41
>> It surprised me how much I loved it.
2:44
>> Yeah, it's it's super delicious. that
2:45
cuz when I read about it, I was like, I
2:47
don't know.
2:48
>> Yeah.
2:48
>> And then I put it in my mouth and I was
2:50
like, I know.
2:51
>> I know. Exactly. And that actually came
2:52
off the idea of one of our executive
2:54
chefs here at the resort. Um, you know,
2:56
when he went to college, he had
2:59
>> noodles
3:00
>> and then ramen uh ramen packed mac and
3:02
cheese, right? Let's just throw it
3:03
together.
3:03
>> Yeah, let's just throw it together. Make
3:05
a third offering.
3:06
>> Why not?
3:07
>> Yeah. And it worked. So, I'm I'm a big
3:08
fan of that one. Chili
3:10
>> I'm a big fan of this kind of risk
3:12
takingaking, too. Like I love because
3:14
it's not something we'd ever try
3:15
normally on our own. Exactly. And and
3:17
that's what's really fun about Food and
3:19
Wine Festival to Disney California is
3:21
you get to try things that you're not
3:22
going to make at home. You're not going
3:24
to find necessarily in a restaurant. You
3:26
can only find it here. And it goes from
3:28
now until
3:29
>> April 27th.
3:30
>> April 27th. So make sure you come by
3:32
multiple times. Get that Sip and Saver
3:34
pass cuz you won't want to miss any of
3:36
these. This was really good, too. And as
3:38
I just keep pointing out things, I'm
3:40
like, "Oh, I like that and I like that."
