\"jazzkitchenexpress.jpg\"I planned my day at Disneyland quite well, including where to go<\/a> for lunch, but I neglected to make dinner plans. Truth be told I thought the kids would be too tired to eat and would grab something quick somewhere. I forgot about me. So, when we found ourselves hungry outside of Disneyland near 8 PM, facing a one-to-two hours drive home, we knew we had to get some food, we just didn’t know where. So I walked down Downtown Disney trying to find something that wouldn’t be too expensive and had a hope to be good. The Jazz Kitchen Express<\/a> seemed like our best bet, but the food was poor and expensive for the quantities, next time I’ll do my homework.
\nThe Jazz Kitchen Express is basically a food counter attached to the full Ralph Brennan’s Jazz Kitchen restaurant in downtown Disney serving Southern\/Creole sandwiches and dishes. Sitting is outside, by the street. It was cold on a May evening and they didn’t have heat lamps.
\nI ordered the catfish & fries for myself (~$8) and was amazed that the catfish portion consisted of two microscopic pieces of fish. I’d say that in all I probably got 2 oz of fish. It was fairly tasty, if a bit cold, but come on! The portion of fries was more abundant, the fries were not particularly tasty and a bid dry, but edible. Mika and Nikki were unhappy that the cheese in their plain cheeseburgers ($6) wasn’t melted, using cold cheese and not melting it also made the whole burgers sort of cold. SO probably fared best with his pulled pork Po Boy sandwich ($8) but only by default. The meat wasn’t very abundant and it wasn’t particularly tasty.
\nI finished my meal with a large piece of bread pudding ($5.50). It was decent. The hot chocolate ($3), however, was not. It was made with water rather than milk and it was steaming hot. Even with some ice it took over half an hour and a couple of burnt tongues to cool down.
\nIn all, it was a disappointing meal, the sort of meal you have when you have no other choices.
