Kouzzina by Cat Cora closing permanently at the end of September

With what Disney said about it ,It seems like somebody wants that space.

Starbucks?

Starbucks?

With Boardwalk bakery there you wouldn't need a Starbucks.

 

[prfctlyximprct]

They should put some fried oreos and cheese fries right there. Now that's jersey shore style!

I was actually kidding. Disney needs another Starbucks like it needs another McDonalds. In other words, not at all.

Just make sure that Snookie, J-Woww, and The Situation are all there to serve it.

They should put something you'd actually find on a boardwalk like Ocean City or Wildwood. Mack and Manco pizza, Taylor pork rolls sandwiches, waffles and ice cream, fresh squeezed lemonade and lime Rickey's. And Uncle Bill's pancakes and scrapple for breakfast.

That's what I'm talking about Disney should make an attempt to bring the flavor of Jersey's boardwalk down.
I'm from New England so the only comparison I have (as poor as it is) is Revere beach's Kelly's.

We ate at Kouzzina's the summer of 2012. We were with another family and it was their favorite place to eat. After our meal we all agreed it would be a long time before we made a special trip back. The dining room was pretty empty and yet service was awful and the food just ok.

Oy vay, will I ever have a day where "Snooki" isn't a word that goes hand-in-hand with Jersey? She's not even FROM my lovely garden state! She came over and trashed up a perfectly good shore town like Seaside Heights and all great things about my shoreline will now forever be tainted/overlooked/forgotten. Like Figment...*sigh* somebody get me a corn dog and a Bruce record - quick!

Keep the greasy-haried, fake-tanned-axe body spray-covered meatheads in Jersey and I'd say you have a plan.

Actually, it might be more wise to cover a Cali boardwalk. Disney has already taken its beating for barely understanding what California is all about, so they have that going for them.

Seaside was trashy long before Snooki, it's not called Sleezeside for nothing. However there's many other shore towns in the state, none of which have "meatheads". They'd be smart to theme it as something you'd actually find on the boardwalk.

Haha, very funny..
Every one of my 39 years has been in Jersey and I can assure you that I:
1. am not tan. In fact, I'm white, porcelain in fact.
2. wear minimal amounts of perfume..and when I do, it's made by a reputable manufacturer of perfume.
3. don't go to the gym.
4. prefer not to wear hair gel, spray nor mousse. I left it behind in the 80's as did most normal people in Jersey.

Have I mentioned that I hate Snooki?

Yes, I realize you were half kidding in your description of New Jersey people.

Back in the 80's (before Snooki existed?), SEAside was a great town to spend summer nights in..rides, pizza, custard..and not a meathead of today's meathead standards in sight. Mullets? Yes. Meatheads? Not back then.

I'm not sure what a "Snooki" is, but if Google's Boardwalk translator is correct than its a "giant bag of cotton candy wrapped in a giant bag of whip cream and deep fried in spongecake. Serve well dry, washed-up and wrinkled". That is disgusting.

And yes, I was actually more than half kidding, just taking a cheap shot at a very small minority in what is otherwise a very normal, regular and sane state.

Holy crap, let's hope the new Kouzzina doesn't serve THAT on the menu! Or if they do, maybe they can ring a bell or sound some sirens like when people order the "kitchen sink" next door at B&C. ..and thanks for saying we are normal and sane! I knew I liked you!

Disney doesn't make it very easy to get there...

This is the biggest thing.

If it had it's own separate parking lot i'd probably end up there a lot more than I do, there's so much water in that area though they can't really do anything (or at least anything that would be financially worth it).

The Boardwalk itself is really the resort area as it is though, so an influx of DTD-style traffic would be pretty unwelcome to those staying there.

 

[ChrisFL]

Not a problem isolated to Disney, I can assure you. There's a reason Mythos is a shadow of what it used to be.

That's the first time I've heard that about Mythos...I've been dining there since before IOA opened for previews and always had an excellent meal and a good, varied menu.

 

[Scuttle]

Boardwalk should have been a MK resort on the monorail line...

That would have been incredible. I would love to take an afternoon break from the MK and go grab a few coldies and a good lunch that doesn't suck.

 

[Gabe1]

I miss Spoodles. We had Thanksgiving dinner there one years, it was fantastic. Cat's I never really cared for.

I just think they jumped on the Iron Chef hype too quickly and that has faded over the years. Much like Idol.

 

[Next Big Thing]

Boardwalk should have been a MK resort on the monorail line...

That is probably the best solution to making it easier to reach.

But at this point we'd be lucky to get new monorails, never mind an actual expansion of the system.

Between the (slightly) out of the way location on the Boardwalk and the new addition of a restaurant in WS that also serves Mediterranean food (Spice Road Table), I'm sure this all contributed. Sad though, I had dinner at Kouzzina and really enjoyed it. Canceled a brunch there one trip due to time, but was hoping to get back to try it out.
