Dinner at Napa Rose at the Grand Californian Disneyland
Posted onEver since the Napa Rose restaurant opened at the Grand Californian in 2001 I think most of us have heard how wonderful it is.

Yakitori House – Epcot’s Japan
Posted onI’m currently remodeling my kitchen (among other projects). Anyone who has ever undertaken a home improvement project knows there are good days and bad days. Today was a bad day. First, the tile man called and cancelled. He had a legitimate excuse, but I was disappointed, none the less. Since I now had the day … Continue reading "Yakitori House – Epcot’s Japan"

How the Flying Fish Cafe Got Its Name
Posted onRecently, I wrote an article for the Allears.net newsletter about the Flying Fish Café. In it, I mentioned that I wasn’t exactly sure how the restaurant got its name. Two of my readers (Debbie and Mehran), did a much better job of research than I did and were able to find the answer. My thanks … Continue reading "How the Flying Fish Cafe Got Its Name"
Wolfgang Puck Express — Marketplace
Posted onWhen Wolfgang Puck’s first opened at the Marketplace in Downtown Disney, they had no indoor seating. This simply wouldn’t do in hot, humid, and rainy Florida. Eventually, they rearranged what little indoor space they had and added a few tables. This helped, but it wasn’t the solution they needed. So a couple of months ago … Continue reading "Wolfgang Puck Express — Marketplace"
