00:00Hi, Food Tours Disneyland. Today we're doing the best savory snacks this park has to offer.
00:05David, why are we here so early?
00:07Well, even though we're at the happiest place on earth, today it's going to be the snackiest place on earth.
00:11So we have a lot of great snacks to try. So what do you say we get started?
00:14I am starving.
00:15Yeah, me too.
00:16Let's go.
00:19Yo, dude, pretzels. All right, now we're talking.
00:22Yeah, classic Mickey shape or I guess I see trending online.
00:25Some people turn it upside down and they say it's Cinderella's carriage, but to me that's a no-no.
00:29This is definitely a Mickey Mouse pretzel.
00:32I gotta say Mickey Mouse's head is like the perfect shape for a pretzel.
00:35Yeah.
00:36Right, they really lucked out on that one.
00:37They did.
00:38I got a lot to say about pretzels, but first.
00:39Great.
00:40Mmm.
00:42Mmm.
00:43It's shedding salt, but the salt's out there, man.
00:45Yeah.
00:46Have you ever worked in a place where you actually make pretzels?
00:48No, never.
00:49Pizza, yes.
00:50Pretzels, no.
00:51Pretzels are tough because you got to get the butter on there if you're going to be buttering them or water,
00:55some sort of base to keep the salt to stick.
00:57Ah.
00:58But lots of times if they don't do it properly, salt's just flying off.
01:00Like if you've ever tried making them at home or whatever.
01:02Okay.
01:03I gotta say, salt's staying on this pretzel.
01:05Alright.
01:06It's harder than it looks to make it nacho-salt.
01:08I bet.
01:09A few ways to upgrade our pretzels.
01:10Yeah.
01:11So you can go the classic route.
01:12If you want something a little fancier, they have a cream cheese stuffed pretzel.
01:15Maybe.
01:16Or a jalapeno pretzel.
01:17How I like to upgrade my pretzel is get the Mickey pretzel and just get a slice of nacho cheese sauce.
01:21Excellent thinking.
01:22Oh.
01:23Speaking of which.
01:24Yeah.
01:25Here we go.
01:26I'm going to take a little bite of an ear.
01:31Mmm.
01:32To me, this combo is the winner.
01:34Right?
01:35Yeah.
01:36Pretzels, cheese at any sort of amusement park or theme park.
01:38They kind of go hand in hand.
01:39That's like a staple, yeah.
01:40And this is a really great pretzel, I have to say.
01:42And we're in the Disneyland park.
01:44Yep, Disneyland park.
01:45And we came in right down there.
01:47So this is one of the first snacks you can kind of get once you're in the park, right?
01:51For me, traveling this way, am I going to get this at breakfast time usually?
01:54No, but I will say I will not leave Disneyland Resort without getting one of these on my trip.
01:59So usually I'm grabbing it right before a parade or a firework.
02:02Something where I need to be standing for a while and I have an idea while I'm waiting for something to happen.
02:07But yeah, behind us is the end of Main Street USA.
02:10The illusion here, they're using forced perspective, right?
02:12Yeah, I was going to ask you about that.
02:13Yeah.
02:14So if I understand, with forced perspective, the first floor is regular size.
02:17But the second one...
02:18Almost.
02:19About 9 tenths scale.
02:20So even the first floor is not the...
02:21Correct.
02:22Really?
02:23Every place seems like it's a normal size.
02:24It does, only because when you factor in the other two scales on it, it's like 9 tenths,
02:28I want to say like 5 sixths or something.
02:30It's like getting smaller as we go up.
02:31Somebody say a question.
02:32That second floor over there, if I scaled that like Spider-Man and stood on that edge right there,
02:37I'd be taller than those windows.
02:38I feel like I'm looking at it like it looks like a normal size, right?
02:41Yes.
02:42I mean, again, it's tricking the eye up.
02:43We're getting smaller as we go up to really make it look like a three-story building.
02:47And we don't think anything of it.
02:48That's great.
02:49All right.
02:50We're off to a good start.
02:51Yes.
02:52I want to point out, weather, not so hot.
02:54It's all right.
02:55We got an umbrella and we got a plan.
02:57Great.
02:58I'm ready for the next snack.
02:59You ready?
03:00Let's go.
03:01Let's do it.
03:02Sleeping Beauty Castle?
03:03Yeah.
03:04Some people say Sleeping Beauty.
03:05That's wrong.
03:06It's Sleeping Beauty Castle.
03:07Walt Disney World has Cinderella Castle.
03:09But adjacent to here, there's Bippity Boppity Boutique, where you kids basically get a princess
03:14makeover.
03:15So I didn't sign you up for a princess makeover.
03:17I didn't think that was your thing.
03:18Yeah, no, I think, but thank you.
03:19All right.
03:20Here we are at Idlewice Snacks.
03:23Can we please get two turkey legs and two cheesy garlic pretzel bites?
03:28Yeah, I mean.
03:29I mean.
03:30When you think of turkey legs.
03:31I've seen these around the park and I'm like, yeah, I gotta get one of those.
03:33You gotta get one, yeah.
03:34This is iconic.
03:35Let's take a bite.
03:36Okay.
03:40It's real good.
03:41So good.
03:42Yeah.
03:43Okay.
03:44I'd like to think, like, this is so much meat.
03:45This is a lot of meat.
03:46Now, clearly it's smoked.
03:47Is there a significance of why turkey is this and how it's done?
03:51I think of turkey legs as, like, Renaissance Fairs, Thanksgiving, and Disneyland.
03:55I don't know why, but this is an iconic Disneyland snack, but it's really only been being served
04:00here since about the 1980s.
04:01I mean, I think this is so great.
04:02Yeah.
04:03It's just mainlining meat, walking around, and we're doing savory snacks and, like, a
04:07lot of things we're having, like, oh, meat and something else.
04:08Yeah.
04:09This is just, like, we'll just eat meat.
04:10Yeah.
04:11You know?
04:12Carnivore diet.
04:13Would you call this a snack, though?
04:14That is a very good question.
04:15For me, this is a meal.
04:16If I'm eating this whole thing, I feel like this would be my lunch.
04:20Yeah, but when do you have just a giant thing of turkey and nothing else with, like, no sides
04:25or whatever?
04:26And that is why, even as iconic as this is, this is not a snack I usually choose to get
04:31for me personally because it's just so much of one thing.
04:35But I love the way it looks.
04:36I love the way it smells.
04:37I think it's delicious.
04:38It's a very well-cooked piece of meat.
04:40Turkey inherently does not have its own flavor.
04:42Now, what could they have done?
04:43They couldn't deep fry it.
04:44Yeah.
04:45That's, like, that would burn Disney down.
04:46That's insane.
04:47I mean, I would also love that.
04:48Oh, I would love that.
04:49Yeah, yeah, yeah.
04:50But just, like, the logistics of doing that would be pure insanity.
04:51Yeah.
04:52I love that they're doing these.
04:53They're not going to give you a sauce.
04:54They're not going to give you a sauce.
04:55And honestly, I don't think they could even grill them.
04:57You know what, though?
04:58My favorite thing, though?
04:59Yeah.
05:00Do you like the skin?
05:01Oh, yeah.
05:02That skin.
05:03Look at this.
05:04Oh.
05:05You're like a surgeon.
05:06That was perfect.
05:07No, this is all them.
05:08Yo.
05:09Oh, hey, monorail.
05:10Mickey, breathing down our necks everywhere I look.
05:12All right.
05:13This was great, but there's one more iconic snack that you can get from Edelweissnacks,
05:18and that is the pretzel garlic cheese bread.
05:21Bring it to me.
05:22So let's dive into that.
05:23This looks a little bit more my style.
05:25Yes.
05:26Buttery, garlicky bread and cheese.
05:28Yeah.
05:29So cheesy garlic pretzel bread.
05:31A pretzel bread filled with a garlicky spread.
05:34Oh.
05:35Oh.
05:36I love a pull apart.
05:38All right.
05:39Here we go.
05:40In for bite one.
05:41You're going to go sauce three first?
05:43I'm going to go sauceless first.
05:44Ooh.
05:46Okay.
05:47Dude.
05:50That's really good.
05:51Yeah.
05:52What is that?
05:53I mean, I know it's garlic, but like, what other?
05:54Garlic and cheese, but like, it's almost...
05:55What is that cheese?
05:56What is that cheese?
05:57I don't know.
05:58Okay, with the sauce, let me see.
06:00Ooh.
06:01With the sauce.
06:02Yeah.
06:03This is like that.
06:04This is really good.
06:05Wow.
06:06A little harder to eat, but the cheese and bread and garlic ratio is perfect.
06:11Yeah.
06:12Wow.
06:13I don't know what kind of cheese this is, but all of them together.
06:16Some people love to get this from here, go over to Adventureland and get Bengal barbecue,
06:21like a meat skewer, pair those together.
06:23That is a very iconic.
06:25People that like know Disney.
06:26People are doing that?
06:27Disney foodies, but if you do not want to get this to go.
06:30Yeah.
06:31But you really want meat inside.
06:33You can actually order this same thing with a bratwurst inside it.
06:36Fantastic.
06:37So you're getting the protein here.
06:38Fantastic.
06:39And the cheese.
06:40I'm going to do that next time.
06:41This is really good.
06:42I could kill this thing.
06:43This is really fantastic.
06:44Yeah.
06:45The cheese in here and the garlic bread and the pretzel bun.
06:46Yeah.
06:47With the marinara.
06:48Deceitfully simple, but I like this more than the turkey leg.
06:49As far as like, I'd be way more excited to get this.
06:50100%.
06:51I would get this over the turkey leg.
06:52I mean, this might be the one to beat.
06:53I agree with you.
06:54This may be the one to beat, but I have to stop myself because we have more to eat.
06:58Oh boy.
06:59I think I have a room.
07:00All right.
07:01Let's do it.
07:02All right.
07:03Oh man, barbecue.
07:04All right.
07:05Let's get some meat on a stick.
07:08Well, I have to say I'm pleasantly surprised by this.
07:11When you said barbecue, I was like, oh, it would have been like pulled pork or something.
07:14Yeah.
07:15Because these are skewers on that grill, man.
07:17They got a fire grill up there and everything.
07:19So these are Bengal rice plates.
07:21With that, you would get your choice of any two skewers with the rice and the miso slaw.
07:27You can also just get any skewer that you want individually as well.
07:31Let's take some bites.
07:32Let's dig in.
07:33What are we doing first?
07:34The beef banyan skewer.
07:37Mmm.
07:38Mmm.
07:39Good.
07:40I'm a little surprised with how spicy it is.
07:43Yeah.
07:44Good spice on the sauce.
07:45Yeah.
07:46Mmm.
07:47The sauce really is the star of the show.
07:48It's adding this incredible flavor to it.
07:49Barbecue flavor spice to get a nice kick to it.
07:51Yeah.
07:52I think I need some rice actually just to like tame it up a little bit.
07:54Cool.
07:55Dad, I've already had some yet for that exact reason.
07:56I also think that as far as like a meat-centric snack to get in the park, this is one of the,
08:02I mean, it's not a giant turkey leg, but it is really nice that this is just, it's just
08:06meat and sauce and it's kind of skewer so you can take them to go pretty easy.
08:10Yeah.
08:11This is definitely holdable enough to go like stand in line.
08:13We're across from Jungle Cruise and Indiana Jones.
08:15Yeah.
08:16You mentioned the turkey legs.
08:17So this is actually one of the skewers that people love to throw in that pretzel garlic
08:23to spread.
08:24Oh yeah.
08:25So if you can like, can you imagine the two of these together?
08:27Would you like that?
08:28That'd be amazing.
08:29Yeah.
08:30What I really like is for the vegetarian, they have these bacon wrapped asparagus.
08:33Yeah.
08:34These are the safari skewers.
08:35All right.
08:36Let's get a bite in here.
08:37Mmm.
08:38To me, I only like asparagus when it's char-grilled.
08:41Any other way, I'm not that into it, but char-grilled is great.
08:43I'm the same.
08:44But with the bacon, that like savory meets that like char-grilled taste together.
08:49Yeah.
08:50It's very good.
08:51You know, I would almost suggest, hmm, I like them both.
08:53But for this one, I feel this is just a cleaner way to bite it.
08:55Mm-hmm.
08:56Two small chunks so you can just get each one going up, so.
08:58You think this is like more portable?
09:00Yeah.
09:01More portable and actually like, I really like the flavor in this.
09:04This is very good, right?
09:05Honestly, if we were here about to jump in line, I would order one of each.
09:09You get two.
09:10That's right.
09:11You get one of each.
09:12I'm sorry, yeah.
09:13And you know, like to me, like customizing like how you can share strategically.
09:15Yeah.
09:16I feel like for the day full of funnel cakes and cotton candy and beers and stuff, eating
09:21this halfway through, be like, look at me, I'm being healthy.
09:23Yeah.
09:24Look at this.
09:25I cleared my stick.
09:26You did, wow.
09:27Mm-hmm.
09:28That's impressive.
09:29Of the snacks we've had for this today, this borderlines on a meal as far as like a sit-down.
09:35Yeah.
09:36I mean, we're obviously looking at it with the slaw and the rice as well.
09:39Would you feel the same if we just went with the skewers alone?
09:42Would you feel like it would-
09:43You're right, I would.
09:44Maybe because we got the slaw and the rice together.
09:46Yeah.
09:47I mean, I've said it before.
09:48I'll say it again.
09:49The line between snack and meal here, it's really, you can make a meal out of a snack.
09:53You can make a snack out of a meal if you share it.
09:55So it's really on like how you want to do Disney.
09:58There's no wrong way to like dine.
10:00I mean, I would love to just stay here all day and continue eating delicious barbecue.
10:04I know.
10:05But we got more snacks to eat.
10:07We have a lot more snacks to eat.
10:09But on that note, before we leave here, I have to just finish-
10:11Finish the skewer.
10:12Yeah, finish the stick.
10:13Because I would feel such guilt.
10:15Join the stick club, buddy.
10:16Mmm.
10:17Right?
10:18Yeah.
10:19All right.
10:20Ready?
10:21Yeah, let's hit it.
10:22Let's hit it.
10:23I see you ain't not much of a Star Wars guy, I take it.
10:25For me, even not being a fan of Star Wars, the attention to detail and the immersiveness that
10:29we're about to experience.
10:30Yeah, it's really great.
10:31This blows my mind.
10:32It is really incredible.
10:33Yeah.
10:34So you've been here before.
10:35Yeah, yeah.
10:36You've experienced this land.
10:37Oh, yeah, yeah.
10:38It's great.
10:39It's just really cool.
10:40Yeah, and every once in a while, when someone comes out or whatever, yeah.
10:43Oh my gosh.
10:44Yeah, right?
10:45All right.
10:46Milk stand.
10:47We got blue milk, green milk.
10:49All right.
10:50Just confirming this is an actual milk.
10:52Not actual milk.
10:53Okay, good.
10:54And if anything, it tastes like a fruit smoothie.
10:56Okay.
10:57All right.
10:58We got blue.
10:59We got green.
11:00One is fruity.
11:01One is citrusy.
11:02What are you in the mood for first?
11:03Let's do blue.
11:04Blue.
11:05Cheers.
11:06Cheers.
11:07This is my favorite one, actually.
11:08It's very tasty, and it's a bit misleading, like I was thinking milk.
11:11Right.
11:12It's like a berry coconut flavor.
11:14Yeah, like a smoothie.
11:15Everything is sort of using rice and coconut as a base of milk, and fruit added to that.
11:21So to me, this is like a really refreshing smoothie type drink.
11:24Yeah.
11:25This is actually very nice.
11:26I love the blue milk.
11:27Green milk.
11:28I shouldn't have said blue was my favorite.
11:30I've never had the green, so we're going to try the green together.
11:32Here we go.
11:33Cheers.
11:34Okay.
11:35Here we go.
11:36All right.
11:37Huh.
11:38More of a citrusy flavor to it.
11:39Yeah.
11:40I like it.
11:41It reminds me of the lemon-lime Gatorade.
11:43Right?
11:44Oh.
11:45Yeah?
11:46Uh-huh.
11:47Because it's green, I'm like thinking it's healthy, and I expect it to taste like a vegetable.
11:52It's definitely not.
11:53It's definitely not a vegetable.
11:54Yeah.
11:55I like them both, but I have to say, out of the two, I would choose the blue.
11:59I think you're right.
12:00I agree with you on that.
12:01Yeah.
12:02It was the best one.
12:03It's so good.
12:04Because me personally, if I didn't do this video.
12:06Yeah.
12:07And I came here, I'd be like, who's getting milk?
12:08Right.
12:09Right.
12:10That seems like a weird thing, but it's obviously in the universe of the show, but yeah.
12:14That's actually, but this is a smooth and refreshing, very flavored beverage.
12:18It's a little odd to be adding to our repertoire, perhaps for the savory day, but because we've
12:22had so many savory things.
12:24Dude, yeah, yeah.
12:25This is like a nice palate cleanser.
12:26This is balancing out the salt and fat we've been going down.
12:27Yeah.
12:28This is a nice break so we can enjoy the next savory snack.
12:31So did you drag me all the way down here just for these sweet milks?
12:34No, I'm savory episode.
12:35We did not come here for the milk, which is a bonus.
12:37We're really here for Ronto Roaster.
12:39So why don't we head there next?
12:40Let's do it.
12:41Galaxy's Edge.
12:42This was added in 2019.
12:44This is like a very cool addition.
12:47I think adults, teenagers, older people, like, it's just sort of cool to like be so immersed
12:53in a movie setting.
12:55Yeah, there's a vibe where like, this is for everyone.
12:57Yeah.
12:58I only got the Stormtroopers over there.
13:00All right.
13:01Ronto Roaster.
13:03Nice.
13:04Boy, oh boy.
13:05Well, I think a ice cold glass of blue milk would pair perfectly with my Ronto Wrap.
13:11Is that what this is called?
13:12Yeah, Ronto Wrap.
13:13Ronto Wrap.
13:14All right, I'm seeing a sausage.
13:15I'm seeing slaw.
13:16Yep.
13:17And Ronto.
13:18Turkey.
13:19Or Ronto.
13:20It's Ronto.
13:21It's undisclosed meat, but it does look like it could be a poultry.
13:24Undisclosed meat.
13:25It's sausage.
13:26Here we go.
13:27You ready?
13:28Take a bite and then.
13:31What do you think?
13:32Looking at it, I'm like, this pita's way too big.
13:34But once you get everything kind of locked in here, the pita with the sausage and that
13:37Ronto, which is turkey, more turkey, and this spicy slaw.
13:41Yeah.
13:42I mean, weirdly to say, I know that it is the Ronto as the star.
13:45But for me, like, this pita is so good.
13:47Sometimes when you get like a sandwich, the bread is an afterthought.
13:50It's too thick.
13:51But the freshness of this pita is so good.
13:53I think both the sausage and the turkey, it's sausage and turkey.
13:56It's not Ronto, whatever that's supposed to be.
13:57A dinosaur from Tatooine?
13:59Come on, well, a dinosaur-ish looking creature from Tatooine.
14:02Yeah, okay.
14:03You're saying this is chicken.
14:04Yeah.
14:05Or turkey.
14:06Or turkey.
14:07Or pork!
14:08Yeah.
14:09It's definitely of this planet.
14:10Alright.
14:11This is the other one that was in here.
14:12What is this other guy?
14:13This is a Ronto-less wrap, so we're removing the meat.
14:16Wait a second.
14:17Oh, Ronto-less.
14:18Ronto-less wrap.
14:19It's impossible Ronto.
14:20So we got some cucumber in here, some slaw, red bell peppers, lots of things going on.
14:25To me, this feels like a salad inside of a pita.
14:28It almost has an Asian flavor to it.
14:30What's that sauce?
14:31Do we like it or not?
14:32Yeah, it's hot.
14:33It's got a heat to it, right?
14:35Wow.
14:36I was skeptical of the sauce.
14:37It's like a sesame flavor to it.
14:38Out of everything in this, to me, I wish that sauce was in the other one.
14:43I do think this hits pretty hard.
14:44You like this?
14:45Yeah, I do like this.
14:46Great.
14:47I think that...
14:48Wait, are you saying you like something that you have to sit down and you cannot walk while eating it?
14:52I could walk while eating this.
14:53I mean, I could walk by eating most anything.
14:55I mean, that is true.
14:56You know.
14:57And no matter where you sit, I mean, the visual treats that you are watching, to me, it's nice to be forced to almost sit down and eat it so you can really enjoy the immersive experience of Galaxy's Edge.
15:09Whew, I'm getting pretty full.
15:11I'm full.
15:12Oof, man.
15:15What a day.
15:16This place is huge, by the way.
15:18All right.
15:19Where are we off to next?
15:20Now we're off to California Adventure to try some more savory snacks.
15:24All right.
15:25Let's head over to the Ancient Sanctum from Dr. Strange.
15:30I was not expecting to have shawarma today at Disney.
15:32I'm very excited for this.
15:33I love shawarma.
15:34Let's take a bite and then chat.
15:35All right.
15:38Mmm.
15:39Wow.
15:40That is good.
15:41This is very good shawarma.
15:42Oh, it's got a kick to it.
15:43Straight up.
15:44I saw a shawarma come when I walk around here.
15:45I'm just like, that's an odd choice.
15:46No, this is actually one I've been having the past couple of days.
15:47Yeah.
15:48This might be one of my favorite things.
15:49This is so good.
15:50Simple.
15:51Came with the sauce.
15:52I would maybe say not use this because the heat of this is absolutely incredible.
15:54Great.
15:55So, I haven't seen the Avengers movies.
15:56Okay.
15:57But, from what I understand, in one of the movies, I think the first one, at some point, they
16:12mentioned getting shawarma or somewhere in a place nearby.
16:14Yeah.
16:15There's a post-credit sequence where they're all just sitting there quietly eating shawarma.
16:19I see that I've seen online.
16:21And this is a reference to that.
16:22Yeah, exactly.
16:23So, I've been looking around, there's like other cool Avengers-looking restaurants here.
16:27And that's great, but they look kind of busy.
16:29And the cart, you saw there's like not a lot of people there.
16:31Yeah.
16:32Now that I know, I would say if you're in the area and you want something to eat and you
16:35want to wait and grab a shawarma, it seems weird because you want something that's a little
16:38more like snack food.
16:40Yeah.
16:41Right?
16:42A pretzel or something, but...
16:43There are no rules at Disney with food.
16:46You have a beer for breakfast?
16:47I don't know about that.
16:48Which I suggested.
16:49And they're all like, no.
16:51Ridiculous.
16:52As far as Sorma on the West Coast theme park circuit, this is fantastic.
16:59It's delicious.
17:00It's filling.
17:01I thought the price was nice.
17:02Yeah.
17:03So, I'd love to stick around and hang out here in Dr. Strange's backyard or whatever this
17:07is.
17:08We're not in the backyard.
17:09We're in Dr. Strange's ancient sanctum.
17:11But I think you'll like where we're headed next because we're going to leave Avenger
17:14Campus and we're heading over to Cars Land.
17:16Oh, nice.
17:17Let's do it.
17:18And here we are.
17:19Welcome to Radiator Springs.
17:21Route 66.
17:22Yeah.
17:23Inspired by, but also the fictional world of Radiator Springs from the Cars Movement.
17:26Yeah.
17:27This is pretty ridiculous.
17:28So, we are actually heading to Crazy Cone Motel, which is actually five different places
17:32to get snacked in one.
17:34Uh-huh.
17:35And we're going to go to my favorite one.
17:36Chili Cone Queso.
17:37Oh God.
17:38Fun fact.
17:39One of Walt Disney's favorite food was actually chili.
17:40So, I love Chili Cone Queso because it takes his favorite food, but puts like a really
17:44fun spin on it.
17:47Chili Cone Queso.
17:48First thoughts by looking at it.
17:49Here's the thing.
17:50I know the expert.
17:51I appreciate a place he's taken to.
17:53At first glance, chili, not my go-to snack, park or otherwise.
17:59Totally.
18:00So, I'm a bit surprised.
18:01I mean, I like this cone.
18:02Yeah.
18:03There's a generous amount of chili and cheese.
18:04I mean, it's beef chili, it's cheddar cheese, it's Fritos, all served in a bread cone.
18:09Four of my literal favorite things.
18:11Okay.
18:12So, let's see how it stacks up.
18:13Let's see how it tastes.
18:14Oh no, it's messy.
18:15Mmm.
18:16That's pretty good chili.
18:19Yeah.
18:20It's got a nice, nice flavor to it.
18:22So, you're walking around the park, it's hot.
18:25Yeah.
18:26You're enjoying Disney.
18:27Yeah.
18:28And at some point you're like, yo, I'd go for some chili.
18:30Yeah.
18:31Really?
18:32I mean, to me this is a nighttime snack.
18:33Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
18:34So, to me, Radiator Springs and Cars Land, at night, it's lit up.
18:38So, usually I would get this sort of after sunset.
18:41This would be my dinner go-to.
18:43And the cone thing connection is, orange cones are used on roads.
18:48Therefore, everything is cone related.
18:50Right.
18:51Traffic cones.
18:52Traffic cones.
18:53That's what I'm looking for.
18:54Exactly.
18:55So, everything's cone shaped.
18:56Everything is cone shaped.
18:57So, here's what it has going for it.
18:58As far as holding it, durability.
18:59Yeah.
19:00Man, you're going to town on that.
19:01Well, I'm just trying to get a bite without making a mess.
19:04It's really portable.
19:06It's great.
19:07And as you eat it, you eat the whole thing.
19:08So, besides this paper packaging, you can pretty much go down.
19:10I could eat this in line.
19:11Yeah.
19:12And the line for Radiator Springs Racers, it can be quite long, even if you're in the single
19:16rider line.
19:17So, this to me, if you're going to wait in a line, why not grab something you can eat while
19:21you wait?
19:22It's very good chili.
19:23My personal preference is, I don't know if, like to me, chili is like cold weather food.
19:28Yeah.
19:29But, I don't know, like I would rather not be at Disneyland when it's cold out.
19:32I don't know how cold it gets here in Anaheim.
19:33Yeah.
19:34So, I feel like, to me, I'm not getting the connection.
19:36That being said, as far as taste, it's very good.
19:38The Fritos, excellent touch.
19:39Do you know what a walking taco is?
19:41Have you heard of this?
19:42Is it the, I call it Frito pie, I think.
19:44Is it when you build, you open a bag of Fritos, you throw chili in there and cheese and you put
19:48all the toppings in there?
19:49Yeah, I don't know what the difference is, but yeah, exactly.
19:50So, this has that sort of feeling of like, portable Fritos, crispy Fritos and chili cheese.
19:55Yeah.
19:56So, that I really like.
19:57I mean, this thing goes down here.
19:58So, you can tell me like, if you're going to town on this, it's chili all the way down
20:00to here?
20:01Yeah.
20:02That's a lot of chili.
20:03That's a lot of chili.
20:04That's a lot of chili.
20:05Yeah.
20:06So, Walt Disney was a big chili guy, huh?
20:07Oh my gosh, huge chili fan.
20:08I mean, he would even have like canned chili in his office on a busy day between meetings.
20:11No.
20:12Man, when you're like a genius in one area, people really like forgive other stuff.
20:16It's like, is Walt eating a can of chili right into the thing?
20:19Of chili?
20:20And it's being like, uh, uh, uh.
20:21Yeah.
20:22Yo, Pinocchio, Sleeping Beauty, let the guy eat what he wants to eat.
20:25I love that.
20:26So, the world itself, very immersive and I do like that.
20:27It's pretty cool.
20:28Yeah.
20:29Yeah.
20:30Chili, not my thing, but you're going to town on it.
20:33I mean, I love it.
20:34I forgive you.
20:35I'm sure Walt forgives you.
20:37I mean, I would keep eating, but we have another stop to make.
20:39Yes.
20:40And there we are going to get some corn dog.
20:42So, I think I have to pause, as much as I'm loving this, to leave room for our final snack
20:47of the day.
20:48I'm definitely leaving room for a corn dog.
20:49Okay.
20:50So, goodbye to corn dog, on to corn dog.
20:52Yeah.
20:53All right, that is, that's nuts.
20:56Yeah.
20:57That's like, that's so effective.
20:58Yeah.
20:59I've never seen anything like that before.
21:00Cars Land is my favorite.
21:02All right, man, that chili is not sitting right.
21:04So, if we could do something that isn't just overflowing with acid, that'd be really great.
21:10Well, I wish we had something lighter to offer you, but we're going to go over here
21:14to corn dog castle.
21:15We're going to get a classic corn dog and we're going to get, um, well, I'll surprise you
21:18with the other offering.
21:20Let's get a dog.
21:21Yeah, all right.
21:22Corn dogs, right?
21:23Yeah.
21:24I mean, this pure environment, it just feels right to be having a corn dog here.
21:28So, let's give it a taste.
21:29Let's dig into a corn dog.
21:31Mmm.
21:32Mm-hmm.
21:33Oh, yeah.
21:34The, the corn meal, perfectly fried, but make it to the dog right away.
21:39Mm-hmm.
21:40Oh, yeah.
21:41Corn dogs are weird, right?
21:42Cause it's not like a regular hot dog, it has like a sweeter flavor to it, right?
21:47Yeah, it's like a hot dog inside of a hush puppy.
21:50Yeah.
21:51Yeah.
21:52We got the original corn dog.
21:53Do you like spice?
21:54Yeah, sure.
21:55Yeah.
21:56Corn dog castle offers a hot link corn dog.
21:58If you want to like spice up your corn dog.
22:00But to me, this is what I think of when I think of like a pier or boardwalk.
22:05Yeah.
22:06Here's what I don't think.
22:07Chili.
22:08What was that all about?
22:09I mean, we disagree.
22:10I love a chili, but I get what you're saying.
22:13I mean, oh, really crispy on that side.
22:15Yeah.
22:16I mean, these are hot too.
22:17These are like fresh from the fryer.
22:18Yeah.
22:19This is, this is a fantastic corn.
22:20They're doing corn dogs right here.
22:21Yeah.
22:22We are at California Adventure.
22:23This is the best place here to get a corn dog.
22:25If you were in Disneyland, you don't want to go to like Little Red Wagon or even Stage Door Cafe has the same corn dogs.
22:31But this at corn dog castle has something you cannot get over there.
22:35What?
22:36This was the surprise I mentioned earlier.
22:38Mm-hmm.
22:39For our plant-based loving friends.
22:41Yeah.
22:42It is literally a cheese on a stick.
22:45Same batter.
22:46Well, not the same.
22:47Similar.
22:48And it's just literally fried cheese.
22:50So they just gave us a whole block of cheese on this.
22:53I feel like it's safer to hold it by the base.
22:55Yeah.
22:56I've never had this.
22:57What kind of cheese is it?
22:58I think it's cheddar cheese.
22:59No.
23:00I don't know.
23:01Is that mozzarella?
23:02Look, it's cheddar.
23:03Possibly American.
23:04Oh, gooey.
23:05Right?
23:06Geez Louise.
23:07Oh, wow.
23:08I'm jealous of that.
23:09I want-
23:10Well, definitely there's more breading in it than I thought it was going to have, right?
23:11Let's see.
23:12Yeah.
23:13So it's not really like a mozzarella stick.
23:14Oh, look at that.
23:15Okay.
23:16Let's take a bite.
23:17It's a bit excessive.
23:19I think for me, the ratio of that like breading to the cheese is too much breading.
23:26Yeah.
23:27I will say though, if I was a vegetarian, I would have serious FOMO over a corn dog.
23:32This might give them their like, okay, I can have my version of a corn dog.
23:35That's fair enough.
23:36Going back to the corn dog.
23:37Yeah.
23:38Now I have to say, when it comes to portable snacks, I think the corn dog is the quintessential
23:43walking around snack, right?
23:44Yeah.
23:45I noticed before there aren't a lot of tables or places to sit.
23:47There is some, but it isn't like a food hall where it's like everyone who's eating
23:51is sitting down.
23:52Because of that, this is prime walking around fair food.
23:55Yeah.
23:56100%.
23:57And if you wanted to pair it with the beverage, there's the beer garden right there by Corn
24:00Dog Castle.
24:01We're not drinking.
24:02I love coming over, sitting under the swings.
24:04But on that note, I think the ride might be starting soon.
24:07So why don't we find a quieter place to talk about the day?
24:09Love that idea.
24:10Great.
24:11All right.
24:12The weather is taking a turn.
24:13Yes.
24:14To the wet.
24:15So we got to wrap this up.
24:16Today, we were doing Disney's best savory snacks.
24:18I am stuffed.
24:19Me too.
24:20We had so much delicious stuff.
24:21We got to pick a favorite first.
24:23Let's run through the list.
24:25All right.
24:26Well, we started over in Disneyland.
24:27Yeah.
24:28We had the classic Mickey Mouse pretzel.
24:29We had the turkey leg.
24:32We had that garlic cheesy pretzel bread.
24:34We had Bango barbecue.
24:35Yep.
24:36We had Ronto wraps.
24:38We had blue milk and green milk, which not so savory, so we won't throw those in the mix.
24:42No, they're fine.
24:43Here at California Adventure, we had shawarma.
24:45We had chili con queso, and we had a corn dog, and a fried cheese stick.
24:49So a lot of options to choose from.
24:50I can't believe we ate all of that today.
24:52You will have to roll me out of here today.
24:54We ate so much.
24:55Everything was fantastic.
24:56Thank you, by the way.
24:57Yeah, of course.
24:58For picking these places.
24:59I thought everything was delicious.
25:00Well, most everything.
25:01I had to pick a favorite real quick.
25:03I like so many things, but I'm just going to go with my heart.
25:06Okay.
25:07I was so surprised at how good the shawarma was.
25:08It was fantastic, delicious.
25:10I mean, shawarma has no business being as good as it is at Disney.
25:13But I was wowed by how delicious it was.
25:15Great portion.
25:16Terrific flavor.
25:17Loved it.
25:18Also want to give a shout out to that pretzel bread.
25:20Yeah.
25:21Really like that.
25:22Right?
25:23How about you?
25:24Agree with you that garlic cheesy pretzel bread is like a close second.
25:27I did love that.
25:28But for me, my big surprise is how much I enjoyed those skewers from Bengal Barbecue.
25:33Yes!
25:34To me, I am coming back there again because-
25:36Those are really great, right?
25:37Oh, and even the safari skewers, the bacon wrapped asparagus, to me, that was a little
25:42surprise for me.
25:43And I love finding new things that I love in a park that I already love so much.
25:46So many fantastic options.
25:47Yeah.
25:48And of course, we've got more food to eat in other episodes coming up.
25:50Get your rest.
25:51Get your rest.
25:52All right, we'll see you in the next episode.
