Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: You know what's funny about podcasts listening today? It's being
- 0:02Speaker 1: treated just like radio once was. In, out, over here,
- 0:07Speaker 1: over there. Did you hear about? Yeah, I did. But
- 0:09Speaker 1: what are you listening to and where can I find it?
- 0:11Speaker 1: How about if we design a website that gives you
- 0:15Speaker 1: 21 different podcasts in one place? Arrow.net, A-R-R-O-E.net. And while
- 0:21Speaker 1: you're there, why not check out Music's Lost History? You
- 0:24Speaker 1: know the music, you know the artists, but can you
- 0:26Speaker 1: guess them before we share them with you? Music's lost
- 0:29Speaker 1: history only on arrow.net. A R R O E.net. Enjoy
- 0:35Speaker 1: your exploration.
- 0:36Speaker 2: Boom.
- 0:37Speaker 1: Chicka bum bum. How's everybody doing?
- 0:41Speaker 3: Oh, it was a little hiccup on our side.
- 0:44Speaker 1: We have you for a 10 minute or we'd said
- 0:46Speaker 1: it was a 20, but it is a 10 minute
- 0:48Speaker 1: or with these young ladies. So what are you saying?
- 0:49Speaker 1: I have an hour. Cause you know me, Michael, I'll
- 0:55Speaker 1: take it. Man, I got to tell you what, you
- 1:01Speaker 1: guys are so spot on when it comes to this.
- 1:02Speaker 1: And the reason why is because if you really sit
- 1:05Speaker 1: back and study social media, what are people doing about
- 1:08Speaker 1: their Disney adventures? They're taking pictures of the food. You
- 1:12Speaker 1: are so spot on with where we are in the
- 1:15Speaker 1: world of Disney.
- 1:17Speaker 2: Social media has really changed the entire Disney experience. And
- 1:20Speaker 2: I think we as eaters and consumers benefit from it,
- 1:24Speaker 2: you know, because I feel like they now continually change
- 1:27Speaker 2: the menus seasonally more than we've ever seen before.
- 1:31Speaker 3: And I think that's pressure from social media. It has
- 1:33Speaker 3: to play into it.
- 1:34Speaker 1: Yeah, because I mean, that's one of the things, even
- 1:35Speaker 1: with professional sports, I mean, part of the action of
- 1:38Speaker 1: going to the game is making sure that you enjoy
- 1:40Speaker 1: the dinner. And I feel the same way about about Disney.
- 1:43Speaker 1: It's like, OK, OK, we're going to do this, this
- 1:45Speaker 1: and this. Yeah, but wait, wait, wait. What are we
- 1:47Speaker 1: having for lunch? What are we doing for dinner? And
- 1:50Speaker 1: because it really is. And now you're giving us the
- 1:52Speaker 1: opportunity to have it at home. Are you crazy?
- 1:58Speaker 4: Well, there are a lot of cookbooks that from Disney
- 2:01Speaker 4: and from other people that recreate Disney foods that people
- 2:04Speaker 4: have very fond memories of and have loved at the parks.
- 2:07Speaker 4: what makes ours different is that every restaurant that we
- 2:10Speaker 4: include doesn't exist anymore. So it's a place that only
- 2:13Speaker 4: exists in memory. So maybe you went with your family
- 2:16Speaker 4: when you were young. Maybe it's a place that existed
- 2:18Speaker 4: before you even started going to the park. You always
- 2:20Speaker 4: wish you could have tried, but you can create these
- 2:24Speaker 4: flavors at home, which is exactly what inspired us to
- 2:26Speaker 4: do the book. We were like, We were looking at
- 2:28Speaker 4: menus from 1981 at Walt Disney World and being like,
- 2:31Speaker 4: we wish we could go to these restaurants.
- 2:33Speaker 3: We just want to taste them.
- 2:34Speaker 4: And then we were like, wait a second. We can,
- 2:37Speaker 4: we can make these foods ourselves. We can recreate those.
- 2:40Speaker 1: I'm a chili fanatic. So when I read in your
- 2:43Speaker 1: pages that Disney was a chili fanatic as well, I
- 2:46Speaker 1: want to sit down and have a bowl of chili
- 2:48Speaker 1: with him. Yes.
- 2:51Speaker 3: And it's soup season. Well, I think it's soup season
- 2:53Speaker 3: all year long, but yes.
- 2:56Speaker 1: But I mean, what was it that he loved about it?
- 2:59Speaker 1: Was it the instant protein? Cause you know how we
- 3:01Speaker 1: creative people are. If it's not protein, then, then we're not,
- 3:04Speaker 1: we're not jumping into it.
- 3:07Speaker 3: I don't think people cared about protein.
- 3:09Speaker 2: Like we obsess with it today, which I am, I'm
- 3:12Speaker 2: not mad about.
- 3:12Speaker 3: I mean, it keeps you full. I get it.
- 3:14Speaker 2: He was just really a man of simple tastes, you know,
- 3:18Speaker 2: and that can't get really any more simple than that.
- 3:22Speaker 4: And he also was so creative and he was so
- 3:24Speaker 4: busy that he didn't want to be bogged down with
- 3:26Speaker 4: food preparation.
- 3:27Speaker 3: Like he kept cans of chili in his office.
- 3:29Speaker 4: He would open up one brand because it had more
- 3:31Speaker 4: meat and one brand because it had more beans, combine
- 3:34Speaker 4: the two in a pot, not even bother to heat
- 3:36Speaker 4: it and then just eat it cold with a spoon
- 3:39Speaker 4: so that he could just keep going.
- 3:42Speaker 3: You know, that man did not have time to spare. Yeah.
- 3:44Speaker 1: Do you realize you just painted the picture of what
- 3:46Speaker 1: it's like to be a radio disc jockey? Because that's
- 3:48Speaker 1: exactly how we eat. It really is. I mean, cold food.
- 3:53Speaker 1: I don't care. Just open the can. Let me have
- 3:55Speaker 1: some of those raviolis.
- 3:56Speaker 3: Come on. Little Chef Boyardee.
- 4:00Speaker 1: This has got the makings of a Disney Plus kind
- 4:03Speaker 1: of adventure where you guys are going to be spotted
- 4:05Speaker 1: on that lens. Can you talk about something like that?
- 4:08Speaker 1: Or are you working on something like that? Because I
- 4:10Speaker 1: want to see it come to life. And I want
- 4:12Speaker 1: all these Disney characters to come and make it for me.
- 4:15Speaker 2: That would be absolutely amazing.
- 4:19Speaker 4: That would be great.
- 4:21Speaker 3: Disney, call us. That would be fine.
- 4:23Speaker 1: Oh, we're talking Disney food here. We'll be right back
- 4:26Speaker 1: with Julie Tremaine and Carly Caramana. The name of the book,
- 4:31Speaker 1: The Unofficial Disney Parks Retro Cookbook. We are back with
- 4:35Speaker 1: Julie and Carly. It really does look like you guys
- 4:38Speaker 1: had a lot of fun. I mean, when you're talking
- 4:40Speaker 1: about the carrot cake cookies, come on. I mean, carrot
- 4:43Speaker 1: cake is already a big thing in my life and
- 4:45Speaker 1: I weaken at the knees. And now you want to
- 4:47Speaker 1: put it in cookie form?
- 4:51Speaker 3: Yes. That is one of those dishes that really alters
- 4:53Speaker 3: your brain. It is so delicious. And I guess I
- 4:56Speaker 3: would say maybe a little healthy too. I mean, protein,
- 4:58Speaker 3: I don't know, carrots. It sounds healthy-ish.
- 5:01Speaker 1: It does, but it's that frosting that I actually go after, man.
- 5:04Speaker 1: I mean, everything else will sit there for a while,
- 5:06Speaker 1: but boy, I got to have that frosting on top.
- 5:12Speaker 1: So now when you have a book like this, what
- 5:14Speaker 1: is the adventure like for you personally? Because I mean,
- 5:16Speaker 1: you guys are the ones doing the hard work. All
- 5:19Speaker 1: we have to do is turn a page. I mean,
- 5:20Speaker 1: you guys dug in to make sure that we had
- 5:23Speaker 1: the authentic ingredients.
- 5:28Speaker 4: It wasn't just digging into the history of the restaurants
- 5:30Speaker 4: and what people were eating, but it was also thinking
- 5:32Speaker 4: about when we're recreating recipes from 1955 or 1960, how
- 5:37Speaker 4: would they have prepared it then? What were the ingredients like?
- 5:40Speaker 4: What was mid-century cooking like? And how can we update
- 5:43Speaker 4: that for modern palates? But honestly, it was all hard
- 5:47Speaker 4: work and it was all research, but it was so
- 5:49Speaker 4: much fun. Just doing deep dives into all these things
- 5:53Speaker 4: at Disneyland and Walt Disney World that all existed before
- 5:55Speaker 4: we were born and we were never able to experience.
- 5:57Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 5:58Speaker 1: I have a neighbor. I live in a forest and
- 6:00Speaker 1: my neighbor actually told me face to face. This is
- 6:02Speaker 1: before I even knew you were even doing this book.
- 6:05Speaker 1: And I said, why are you raising goats so I
- 6:07Speaker 1: can have goat cheese?
- 6:08Speaker 2: Why?
- 6:09Speaker 1: Because have you ever been to Disney and had goat cheese?
- 6:12Speaker 1: I swear to God, he told me that. And then
- 6:14Speaker 1: you guys are putting focus on it. The dude's not wrong.
- 6:17Speaker 3: Yes.
- 6:19Speaker 2: That is absolutely hilarious. The goat cheese dip is one
- 6:23Speaker 2: of my favorites from the dish. It's also perfect with
- 6:25Speaker 2: the holidays coming up. It's such a unique side dish
- 6:28Speaker 2: that's deceiving because it's.
- 6:29Speaker 3: Really easy to make. But that is one of the
- 6:32Speaker 3: newer closures.
- 6:33Speaker 2: That is Restaurant Marrakesh that we lost only in 2020.
- 6:37Speaker 2: So I love how we span back to opening of Disneyland,
- 6:40Speaker 2: but also current day. And if you're a present-day Disney fan,
- 6:43Speaker 2: you definitely miss visiting the Morocco Pavilion and eating in
- 6:47Speaker 2: that beautiful palace.
- 6:48Speaker 1: One of the things that we're forgetting about here is
- 6:50Speaker 1: the fact that not only are you giving us these
- 6:52Speaker 1: incredible recipes, but you're giving us the history. Now you
- 6:55Speaker 1: have me hooked. And, oh, my God. Sure, when I
- 6:58Speaker 1: would turn the page, I would sit there and read
- 7:00Speaker 1: about the recipe. But, my God, I was hooked on
- 7:02Speaker 1: that history. And it was like, you guys did your
- 7:06Speaker 1: homework on this.
- 7:08Speaker 3: Absolutely.
- 7:09Speaker 2: And I think that is, you know, we kind of
- 7:11Speaker 2: created a book that I always wanted. I love Disney food,
- 7:14Speaker 2: but I also love the history behind everything. And, you know,
- 7:17Speaker 2: we're not the first to make a Disney cookbook, but
- 7:19Speaker 2: it's certainly different than the rest out there because it has,
- 7:23Speaker 2: you know, not just a full, you know, little paragraph,
- 7:25Speaker 2: it's a full essay behind the scenes of what went
- 7:28Speaker 2: in and kind of.
- 7:29Speaker 3: The lens of Walt Disney World.
- 7:31Speaker 2: And Disneyland through food, which I kind of love looking
- 7:34Speaker 2: at it. And, you know, we, I don't even know
- 7:36Speaker 2: if we set out, you know, this cookbook's not organized
- 7:39Speaker 2: by appetizer entree.
- 7:41Speaker 3: It's naturally organized chronologically. So it really does tell the
- 7:45Speaker 3: history of these.
- 7:46Speaker 2: Parks and, Through food, which I don't think we intended
- 7:49Speaker 2: to do it. It naturally happened in this really amazing way.
- 7:52Speaker 1: Well, you entice our imaginations and tummies with the dang
- 7:56Speaker 1: index there, because what is it but a giant menu?
- 7:59Speaker 1: I'm sitting there going, yeah, where's the waitress?
- 8:01Speaker 3: Where's the waitress?
- 8:02Speaker 1: I need some sweet tea first. Come on, bring it on.
- 8:07Speaker 1: I mean, everything about this is such an adventure. And
- 8:10Speaker 1: I really do encourage people that for the holidays, especially,
- 8:13Speaker 1: and this is not a cheap plug, but it is.
- 8:15Speaker 1: I want them to buy it and share it with
- 8:17Speaker 1: their families and then have food cooking contests or get
- 8:21Speaker 1: together and have Disney tapas. I mean, everybody bring a
- 8:24Speaker 1: dish from Disney. I mean, you guys really do open
- 8:27Speaker 1: up characterization as well as communication.
- 8:31Speaker 3: I love that. And I love that idea.
- 8:33Speaker 2: I've actually gotten a lot of messages from people that
- 8:35Speaker 2: are doing dinner parties organized by like a decade. So
- 8:38Speaker 2: they're having like opening Disneyland dishes, you know, or flash
- 8:41Speaker 2: forward to the nineties, which we have a whole chapter
- 8:44Speaker 2: on that.
- 8:45Speaker 3: You know, definitely a lot of like Michael Eisner and
- 8:47Speaker 3: Walt Disney world. And they're kind of separating it that way,
- 8:49Speaker 3: which I love to hear.
- 8:51Speaker 1: Where can people go to find out more about everything
- 8:54Speaker 1: that you guys are doing? Because I really want them
- 8:56Speaker 1: to jump into this project and they're going to.
- 9:00Speaker 2: Yes.
- 9:00Speaker 3: Thank you. Yeah. The book is everywhere.
- 9:02Speaker 2: I'm in Charlotte and we have it at all the
- 9:05Speaker 2: books of millions here, which I just went to the
- 9:06Speaker 2: Concord mall the other day and I purchased my own
- 9:10Speaker 2: copy there.
- 9:11Speaker 3: It's also online, Amazon and everything.
- 9:13Speaker 1: Are you going to do something at the park road books?
- 9:15Speaker 1: Because they they're open for stuff like this girl.
- 9:18Speaker 3: Yes. Yes.
- 9:20Speaker 2: I'm going to reach out to them. I love the
- 9:21Speaker 2: Park Road Shopping Center. It's such a cool little like
- 9:24Speaker 2: throwback place.
- 9:25Speaker 1: You got it. You got to team up with Harris
