The Big Hype!

[real mad hatter]

Good Sunday Morning Everyone...Well I tried my first Grey Goose last night and had it neat poured over ice ( or on the rocks as you say ) and I thought to myself " Is that it "...Sorry Figgy,but it did nothing for me..Yes it tasted smoother than Smirnoff,but at three times more expensive than Smirnoff,I was expecting something really awesome..This got me thinking..They are certain dishes at WDW that everyone raves about for example the Fillet & mushroom risotto at Le Cellier..The famous Jiko Fillet with mac & cheese..But have you ever had a meal like a signature dish and thought "Whats all the fuss about"

The cheese soup at Le Cellier - not a huge fan - my kids wouldn't even try it - but then again they won't try anything.

I can't believe all the fuss over Le Cellier- I mean seriously I've had way better steaks off my own grill! And sorry, but although I LOVE pineapples, I have tried to like a Dole Whip, but it does nothing for me- guess I'll have to fancy it up with some captain next time.

FYI - if run a cheaper vodka through a brita water filter (with out the water of course), you will have a better tasting vodka and you save the moola

Believe it or not,the signature soup was the only thing we enjoyed at Le Cellier..Our signature steaks were just Blah Blah Blah..

This is on my list of things to do. What didn't you like?

I totally agree on LC. Had better in several WDW restaurants (yatchsman, citricos, and Cali grill). Just not a signature and overrated to say the least.

This a few years back. The mood of the wait staff completely changed when we advised them we did not want the wine parings. The food was not nearly as good as the hype and we just felt like that the overall experience was not all that it is talked up to be. Plus, having to wear a jacket on vacation didn't impress either.

Understandable

Well, I don't know about that. I saw it on a mixology show. All the more expensive stuff is distilled more - so that is essentially getting more impurities out - so run it through the brita and see what happens.

Tonga Toast I tried it and it was like eating a mattress, too thick and chewy for me. I love the macadamia pineapple pancakes however.

 

[bethymouse]

Although it's delicious, and certainly one of my faves, the meal at 'Ohana dinner has way too much hype about it! Don't get me wrong- I love it, but..
Also the hype w/ BOG. It's a new restaurant and it's cool, but come on!

Funny about the Grey Goose, but I'm not surprised. It mixes better than most vodkas, but it usually comes up short when it's pitted against other vodkas in taste tests. Most bartenders and liquor store owners I've chatted with say Reyka, Ketel One, and Belvedere taste significantly better straight out of the bottle.

As for WDW...Le Cellier was the #1 over-hyped thing for us. The filet was tasty, but hardly "the best steak of my life." The cheese soup was a similar letdown...it didn't even taste from scratch to me. i.e. it had more of a semi-homemade - we kicked it up with some Campbell's condensed soup - sort of taste and consistency.

I feel like that whole "riding rides and watching shows with your loved ones in a richly-themed environment designed to make lifelong memories" thing everybody goes wild about around here is a little overhyped.

Yes it's fun, BUT you have to put on pants and move, so that's a strike against the whole thing.

Ketel One would be my first choice any day of the week.

What is over-hyped to me?
Mickey ice cream bar.
I don't get it.
