From: Ginny Favers on 31 Mar 2010 22:49 I'm going to have to go with a portobella mushroom and polenta dish cooked for me at Mama Melrose for a family style meal, for the Backstage Magic tour, when I asked for something vegetarian. It's sadly not on the menu anymore. Twice I've eaten at MM's for the Backstage Magic tour, and both times the food has been amazing. Twice I've been to MM's for regular dinner service, and the food's been meh to just o.k. I guess it's only a good place for lunch? Or maybe the head chef cooked our tour meals himself? Maybe I was just really hungry.

That was definitely my second favorite WDW dish of all time. I had a fantastic meal with Joe in December 2004 with that filet, followed by Vahlrona cake, of course! Here's your trivia quiz for today: Can anyone tell me where else in the world (the whole world) you can find the original Vahlrona lava cake?

Actually, my wife had the filet while I had the pork loin. She did give me about a quarter of hers and that's what I based my evaluation on. And, yes, I did wash it down with Valrhona lava cake. Sadly, the next time there, I had the filet but the sauce had changed and, while good, it wasn't the knock-your-socks-off good I remembered. > > Here's your trivia quiz for today: Can anyone tell me where else in the > world (the whole world) you can find the original Vahlrona lava cake? > Valrhona... er, Thailand? Valrhona, India? I bite.

It was some kind of seafood chowder, but it >was sweet. It was incredibly delicious. Yep. Add most of the other soups as well. Loved almost all. The Coke Flank Steak is pretty darned good, when they offer it. Love the milk shakes at SciFi DriveIn Egg rolls by POC Burgers at ESPN Turkey leg and a beer on Sunset Blvd, watching the TOT |
