Mouse Bites for January 29, 2012

It’s been crazy around these parts yet again this week! Hop on board and kick back. Hey, you have the week off from football, so procrastinate on chores with me! ;)

This week on Eating WDW:

We checked out the Limited Time Only French Dip Sandwich from Earl of Sandwich at Downtown Disney.

The Marina Margarita from the Margarita Bar at Downtown Disney satiated our need for tequila.

From the spread of Valentine’s Day treats at Goofy’s Candy Company, we instead opted for the Oreo Brownie.

A detour to I-Drive brought us to Brick House Tavern & Tap.

We spotted a fun Goofy mug in Germany, and also sampled some savory Pomsticks.

Victoria & Albert’s once again earned AAA Five Diamond Status.

It was time for sushi at Tokyo Dining!

And now for your Grand Circle Tour around the Disney Blogosphere!

Drinking Disney highly recommends the Blood Orange Margarita at La Cava del Tequila. We also get a recipe for an English Rose from Rose & Crown. We have yet to try Grandma’s Picnic Punch and the Mowie Wowie from one of our favorite places, the Tune-In Lounge!

Ryan at Main St. Gazette hits his sweet tooth at Ghirardelli Soda Fountain and Chocolate Shop with their Earthquake.

I have a feeling I’m going to be put to work in the kitchen soon, thanks to Disney Food Report‘s recipe for ‘Ohana Bread Pudding with Bananas Foster Sauce

Ready for some sake cocktails? Eating (and Drinking) around the World takes us to the new Garden House in Japan.

Disney Tourist Blog takes us across the coast to Trader Sam’s at Disneyland and provides us with a Bar Crawl Guide.

All Ears provides us with a feast with several pictures and reviews from Tangierine Cafe, Pizzafari, Kouzzina, Sunshine Seasons, The Fountain, and Flame Tree Barbecue.

Are you a fan of Tonga Toast? Disney Parks Blog shows you how to make it! You can also check out our review of it here. Disney is for the dogs with their Best Friends Pet Care Treat Truck. They share a recipe for Spinach and Artichoke dip from ESPN Zone. Finally, they introduce the Crossroads menu at House of Blues. Our thoughts on the menu can be found here.

Crossroads at House of Blues

This past summer, House of Blues introduced a new menu developed by Aaron Sanchez called “Crossroads at House of Blues.” Matt wasn’t too enthused with our last visit, which was troubled by inattentive service and ill prepared food. It was New Year’s Eve, and we were able to get in with a party of 6 without a reservation, so it was worth another try. (I apologize in advance for the subpar photos. The restaurant is a bit dark, and I didn’t want to be taking a lot of photos so that others could enjoy their meals.) Matt opted for their New York Strip Steak, which is described as a seasoned twelve ounce center cut steak with sautéed bourbon onions served with Yukon gold garlic mashed potatoes and fresh vegetables.
