DFB Reader Finds

If you find a fun new food — or other edible awesomeness — in or around Disney, share a photo with us on facebook or twitter so we can add it to our DFB Reader Finds each Sunday!

Carthay Circle Restaurant at Disney California Adventure is a fantastic spot for dinner, and my good friend Eric Chu recently dined there as part of the World of Color dining package. He declared the Braised Short Ribs as “bomb-diggity.”

Boatwright’s Dining Hall at Disney’s Port Orleans Riverside is one of those hidden gem locations at Disney World. And if you end up dining there you won’t be disappointed. DFB friend Amy Rhodes shared a few photos with us from her recent visit declaring the pork chops and okra “so good!”
