1:36
of the different offerings from around
1:38
the brick and mortar locations that we
1:40
have, such as award winners, one of my
1:42
favorite items, the toteno.
1:45
So,
1:46
>> that looks so good.
1:47
>> Yeah. And the grilled cheese, artichoke
1:49
grilled cheese that we have at P
1:51
>> also very good.
1:52
>> Is it right?
1:52
>> I loved it. I I kind of wish it was a
1:55
little bit cooler today and maybe even a
1:57
little bit of rain
1:58
>> cuz like that would just be the perfect
2:00
day.
2:01
>> Yeah, absolutely.
2:02
>> Like if it's going to rain at
2:03
Disneyland,
2:04
>> you might as well have a grilled cheese
2:05
sandwich.
2:06
>> Absolutely.
2:06
>> Yes. Uh I know there's so many offerings
2:08
and one way to kind of facilitate that
2:10
for you, we do offer the sip and saver
2:12
pass.
2:13
>> I love the sip and saver pass.
2:14
>> Pour an A10.
2:15
>> Go with eightid,
2:16
>> right?
2:17
Um, can we can we talk about this one
2:19
real quick?
2:19
>> Ramen mac and cheese.
2:20
>> 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?
2:25
>> Absolutely. So, uh, this mac and cheese,
2:27
it's a little mixture of like your
2:29
traditional yellow mac and cheese,
2:30
right? But it has this punch of umami.
2:33
>> So, it's like the saltiness of that
2:34
ramen. If you're ramen, you know, it
2:37
you're expecting a little salty, savory,
2:39
and a bunch of different flavors come
2:40
together, right?
2:42
>> It surprised me how much I loved it.
2:45
>> Yeah, it's it's super delicious. that
2:46
because when I read about it, I was
2:47
like, I don't know.
2:49
>> Yeah.
2:49
>> 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
2:53
off the idea of one of our executive
2:55
chefs here at the resort. Um, you know,
2:57
when he went to college, he had
2:59
>> pepper noodles
3:00
>> and then ramen uh ramen packs mac and
3:02
cheese, right?
3:03
>> Let's just throw it together.
3:04
>> Yeah, let's just throw it together. Make
3:06
a dirt offering.
3:07
>> Why not? And it worked. So, I'm I'm a
3:09
big fan of that one chili.
3:11
>> I'm a big fan of this kind of risk
3:12
takingaking, too. Like I love cuz it's
3:14
not something we'd ever try normally on
3:16
our own. And and that's what's really
3:18
fun about Food and Wine Festival to
3:20
Disney California is you get to try
3:22
things that you're not going to make at
3:24
home. You're not going to find
3:25
necessarily in a restaurant. You can
3:27
only find it here. And it goes from now
3:29
until
3:29
>> April 27th.
3:30
>> April 27th. So make sure you come by
3:33
multiple times. Get that sip and saver
3:35
pass because you won't want to miss any
3:37
of these. This was really good, too. And
3:39
as I just keep pointing out things, I'm
3:40
like, "Oh, I like that and I like that."
3:42

3:44

3:46
