hello everybody princess and the bear here and we're back at universal islands adventure because
uh we want to go to a circus circus mcgurkis stupendous cafe we hear that they have a
plant-based item on the password appreciation list so we're gonna have food we're actually
gonna eat here instead of just sitting in here eating pizza time novel concept so let's go uh
watch the high top be sure to subscribe or heard the girl
hey
this is a vegan chicken parm that we have is a annual cast holder item now there was a little
bit of confusion on the line over there they did say you were supposed to present your annual pass
to get it but they didn't actually show ask us for the annual pass when we got to the register
um and because of the weight and confusion they ended up giving us a team member discount instead
it was nice um so yeah ask for it regardless i guess but it's supposed to be a fast holder
exclusive take that with a grain of salt anyway
parmesan lightly parmesan we got like these big pieces of chicken in here i'm not gonna
eat like a whole piece i'm just gonna go with a small you can see it's like nicely nicely cooked
all the way through you can smell the plant-basedness of it it's definitely gardein
in 103 degree heat
i like the sauce i think the sauce is really nicely done and i like the um harm on top i think
that's really delicious the gardein though it's just so plant-based tasting like obviously they
they didn't like pre-sear it or pre-cook it before they third any of the sauce they just threw it in
very strong plant-based tasting
i think it's not a bad addition even though it is 103 out at least you get to sit inside
and i kind of hope that they keep this on the menu because the last time they had an
annual pass holder item that was at um green eggs and ham and it's still there so hopefully we get
to just keep getting more vegan options and not subtracting or replacing them i will give this
i'm gonna give them a little bit of higher score just for the effort and
the creativity that they're trying to bring to islands of adventure and give them a four
so prior to being horribly black house to tolerate fetty cheney alfredo's one of my favorite dishes
particularly chicken ketchup right now um theme park alfredo doesn't exactly jump
i need this in my life but i am curious especially when you start adding all meat to things so they
do tell you that when you order this it takes like 10 minutes to cook so you have like a 10 minute
wait if you with your party um you should probably order first because they've been there for you
before you you know the last one i think it's kind of awkward uh but they're a bit disorganized
there's probably a training issue but let's see if that training makes its way to the food
guardian quality chicken is always such a mixed bag you're like really good or really terrible
it just tastes like seared and seasoned tofu i was probably softer than like extra firm
tofu as well like you don't even need the knife it definitely just feels like it was thrown in
like lightly boiled even but you can say it was seared maybe like that lightly boiled and thrown
into the noodles um the fettuccine itself is actually pretty good the sauce is great the vegan
farm everything the herbs in it tastes wonderful the chicken is really the only downside honestly
if they over this is not the chicken i think it would be a thousand times better like it doesn't
need the chicken at all the chicken actually detracts from this as a whole i think it would
be much better off like honestly without the chicken i would give it to solid four i questioned
the princesses grating but with the chicken i'm giving it a three because the chicken is that bad
overall as it sits right now i'm giving them three out of five paws uh i would
like to see somebody try at some point if you do tell us
have you come here try to see if you can order without the chicken and then thank me later
the parmesan dish also comes with a breadstick now in part of the confusion disorganization
they forgot the breadstick i thought oh maybe they were out they weren't they just
forgot to give to me so they gave me one it's old and hard
i'm exaggerating it's really not that bad it is super hard and still like it's been sitting out
this is one of those breadsticks that if um
if you had like a lot of sauce to dip into it it would be really good
because you need it to like make your bread soft again if it was fresh out of the oven that'd be
a different story but like there was four people that ordered this dish around us one couple sat
and waited the longest one guy didn't even get a number and had to come back and forth
got like a half his dish and then hours they were like as we were walking away after they said ten
minutes they gave us half a dish and then i'd go back for the breadstick it was like an apricot
just very disorganized so yeah normally i love these breadsticks when they come hot
love them these ones this is one and a half out of five bread sticks i'm not gonna finish this
with everything going on in this place both above you as far as the decoration
the seuss mover around the outside and in the training you can say it's almost a circus in here
whatever people have training issues it happens as long as the food's good that's what counts
that's the stuff they get ironed out
i never like number four
i know you want to spit that out there's a napkin right next to you if you want to spit it out
oh i've already treated this point
it's like poorly seasoned cardboard
it's edible but just barely that is a one out of five sauce
maybe it is a favorite by the way i'm eating my steak
i decided with the fried chicken combo there wasn't really a whole lot on the menu that
i wanted this place seems like it's pretty huge and like you would think they'd have a
bigger menu but it's basically just burger chicken burger pizza and fried chicken but
i mean it's literally a fair in here so i guess i can't really expect much i guess this is like
universal's cosmic rays this kind of vibe i get kind of a good way but we had a teaser salad
nice anchovy based caesar salad it is very wet
like they were scraping the bottom of the barrel and they looked at me which is funny
scraped the salad knowing that they had almost none left and then actually
oh god i don't i don't mean to throw this much shade
the story just kind of speaks for itself so let's get a crouton or a crew sponge
i'm just like look there's entirely too much dressing on the salad
there is any more dressing it might actually qualify as a soup
looking there's a croutons they are still crunchy there's a little bit of crunch to it
but as far as salads go it's kind of a mess the dressing tastes less like caesar and more melee
not exactly my jam salad is a one and a half out of five boss
here we have the rest of the fried chicken combo platter we have uh two pieces of chicken
so you get a huge breast and then this thingy oh you get a cornbread muffin french fries
and slaw that's a lot of food for what you pay i'm not gonna lie um i feel like you could either have
cornbread or fries i really just like getting both but i don't know potato bread either way
oh we know why everybody comes here no you really want the fried chicken at least you
non-vegans out there i'm not a huge fan of fried chicken but i'm always willing to try it
very high standing for fried chicken but i don't like you a lot of fried food so i'm
probably going to pick the skin off most of this but for you guys it will take one bite skin on
that's probably too big a bite
to my surprise the breading is seasoned
you can get juicy not dried out given the same to the salad and the breadstick i was expecting the
chicken to be dry but it's actually rather juicy and well seasoned rather than fried chicken now
it's inoffensive it's not say like poopy review or olivia's fried chicken but it's definitely what i
would consider to be above average to half a step above fast food i'll give it three out of five
then we have the cornbread muffins now
this is probably my most biased part of this channel i've ever done is that nobody's going back
nobody's cornbread it's better than being a princess cornbread
not even my grandmother's cornbread who's that it's a high bar this thing smells like cake
i think you learned a thing or two from the uh the breadstick to learn through things during this
it's not dry pretty moist and flavorful it's uh standard milk hombre two and a
half out of five plus then we have universal string freaks i guess it passes the fire test
oh those are cold rubbery
i could have skipped that one and a half and a five floss
i'm actually kind of scared for you to try this slaw
flip this baby over here this one looks even more wet than the salad did and settled and slaw
why though either way you hear what you pay for
let's see that's mentioned you see i see lettuce and cabbage
i don't see any carrots in here it's just shredded lettuce looks like
sloppy mayo field mess two out of five plus
and they just stay away from green stuff before they hurt themselves
that has been such a smoker i think that they get points for potential but i don't know if they're
they're fully there yet i definitely seen some marketing improvements i think this is another
good positive on the universal side for their willingness to try new plant-based items
uh not every execution is perfect but the fact that they're trying means a whole lot
absolutely and you've got this amazing ap opt i think it's actually really good i ate
pretty much all of the pasta except for the chicken and the bread made me really sad but
i'm sure it was a one-off experience because i we went to louie's just so that i can have birthdays
the same breadstick so uh if you guys were convinced to come and eat this after seeing this
video let us know in the comments below if there's any more of the passholder appreciation items
