Disney's Soda Fountain






The one and only, and located directly across from Grumman's Chinese Theatre, be sure to stop into Disney's Soda Shop for a quick, light lunch or a very, very delicious ice cream sundae.

We ordered the grilled cheese and the the french dip sandwiches for lunch, both which were delicious and the perfect light lunch for a warm Los Angeles afternoon. For dessert, we ordered the black and white sundae, which was perfect for two people to split.

For Disney pin collectors and traders, be sure to swing in for the Soda Shop exclusive pins.

Kreuz Market



About an hour drive outside of Austin, and known for the famous sign (above) that states "No Barbecue Sauce, No Forks, No Kidding" is Kreuz Market, in Lockhart, TX. Locals will debate who has the best barbecue in the area: Kreuz or the Salt Lick, and everyone has their favorite.

We ordered a regular sausage, a cheese filled sausage and the highly recommended brisket. Everything is served with your choice of white bread (straight out of the bag) or crackers. We chose bread.

In a separate room, you can order your sides, including mac and cheese, cole slaw, mashed potatoes and more (oh, and where you can grab some forks!).

Honestly, I found the brisket to be juicy, but very fatty, and the sausage tasty, but the casing very tough. The sides weren't very good, either. It was disappointing.

Also, we were there about a hour before the restaurant was supposed to close and as we were leaving, the employees were turning off the lights behind us.
