See that was the problem, no one wanted to build an AA of Jim to save Muppets.
Enjoyed this video. Thanks for sharing. Dollywood looks very charming. That cinnamon bread!

No tears from me on the muppets exit either. The love I think is really more bout Jim Henson who many hold in super high regard , even though the muppets still aired when I was growing up I don’t get the fanaticism with it

Yeah the format was great. I enjoy his videos. His prime rib recipe is great, reverse sear method, it's how I make mine now!
Wondering why he didn’t try the fried chicken at Plaza Inn

I wanted to see him compare them for sure. I was shocked to hear Knott's chicken isn't very good, I thought that was their thing.
It really isn’t. Had it twice now in the last couple years and it’s just bland. And if IIRC correctly… not very crispy. It’s a shame. They need to work on that.

Nice I’m going to check it out. I guess he must not have liked it very much. Maybe he tried it on an off day… or hour. It happens.

This guy spells out what a mistake it was to remove the river. I was a little ambivalent about it but Brayden gave me a new perspective on why it should stay.

It's the most lackluster fried chicken I've ever had. No real seasoning, spice, or anything distinctive enough to warrant the insane weight times the restaurant used to get, unless fried chicken was VERY hard to come by in SoCal in the 30s and 40s.
The dinner experience is a cool one (and you also still get it with other chicken menu items), and the restaurant is a fun place to eat, but you're honestly better off getting the chicken tenders than what should be the signature meal of the park.
Value-wise, Knott's puts Plaza to shame, even if you opt for the to-go stand rather than the full sit down experience, but the actual taste of the Plaza Inn fried chicken is MUCH better.
Greta video. I shared it on the WDW Cars/ ROA thread a few days ago and everyone seems to agree
Value wise it’s great! Just get the tenders instead of the fried chicken. The pie is good and I remember liking some of the appetizers and/ or soup. The biscuits were fantastic on one of my visits with a little boysenberry jam n butter. On the other visit they were just so so

Controversial opinion, he's right about the garlic pretzel bread. I wanted to love it, but it was honestly not much different from those super-fake-tasting cheesy breads you'd get at a place like Domino's. Maybe it's better with a bratwurst or something inside of it, but by itself, I wasn't impressed.
I also agree that the Plaza biscuit could be better.
He MASSIVELY overrates the churro toffee square, though. Good, yes. Best food of the resort, absolutely not.
I haven’t seen the video yet but I did enjoy the garlic cheesy bread at first but you’re right it did have a sort of artificial taste. It was one of those foods I hit 3-4 times in a relatively short amount of time and now haven’t had it in a long time. Something about it started tasting off putting to me. It’s also very rich but I guess it helped that we usually shared one.
The Plaza biscuit is awful.
Yeah the churro toffee is good but best food in the resort is wild. It’s also not something I can have more than a couple bites of at a time.
