My Culinary Bucketlist

I started thinking this weekend about what would be on my culinary bucketlist. What foods or culinary-related experiences do I want to try before I die.

There are just so many things I still want to do in my life. Leaving North America is tops on the list. I have always dreamed of touring Venice, London, Madrid, Tokyo and so many other destinations, each with their own unique food experiences. Yet, there are so many parts of this country I still want to experience like trekking down Route 66 and coasting up the Pacific Coast Highway.

Below is just my working list that I have started to compile about things I’d love to try in my lifetime. I thought posting them on my 31st birthday would be a good kick to get started on some of ’em…

Inside Disneyland’s Club 33

Hidden in the streets of New Orleans Square at Disneyland in California is a restaurant so exclusive that most park guests don’t even know it exists.

Tony Spittell presents a Disney Culinary Quest on the DisUnplugged Blog, and his review of Disneyland’s Club 33 presents all the grandeur and spectacle of one of Walt’s greatest visions.

Disneyland’s Haunted Gingerbread House

I just had to share this really cool video of Disneyland chefs creating a gingerbread house for The Haunted Mansion for the Halloween season.

During Halloween, The Haunted Mansion transforms into a world out of Tim Burton’s “The Nightmare Before Christmas” with Jack Skellington and Sally. Each year, they place a gingerbread house in the ballroom scene of the ride. This year’s theme was a tombstone. It measures six feet tall and four feet wide. It looks like it’s decorated with candy but it’s really fondant and royal icing.

The gingerbread house took a team of three chefs, electricians, designers and engineers to create.

Happy Halloween!
