Agreed about the new design. Sorry, but to me the look is bland with little character. Am glad the food was not bland. I always thought the old design had lots of character. Will miss the fountain.
The new design of the Jazz Kitchen reminds me of a fancy McDonalds! I'm glad the food made up for the lack of theming that the restaurant deserves. I guess Disney didn't want the Jazz Kitchen to out do Tiana's restaurant. Thank you for the update!
17:39 OMGG The pride ears Kitra is holding ARE SOOO SIMPLE AND CUTEEE I would 100% get them, and her saying that they're going to the Pride celebration made me sooo happy!!! If they make a video about that, that'll be awesome!!
Peter: *describes a drink with pineapple juice and mezcal in it* Also Peter: "It almost tastes like pineapple juice and mezcal mixed together" Y'all are absolute gems - love every video 💙
Finally an actual assessment of this restaurant. I loved the food and the upstairs is light and bright too. I was not a fan of the previous menu and interior design. This new iteration is a huge improvement.
this couple transmits the joy intended in the location, their enthusiasm really brings a lot to the skilled presentation. I appreciate that, since I often lack the enthusiasm to attend such places, but retain a childhood memory of this kind of stuff as the greatest, so I am gratified to have such a pleasurable way to get updated on this stuff.
Your music choices are top notch found new music through videos. I picture you guys with the dogs driving at night in LA a la Michael Mann listening to synth wave dripping neon.
Yay!!! I’m glad you two made a video on the revamp Jazz Kitchen. I’m going to Disneyland for my birthday and we were planning to eat in Downtown Disney. Now we know where to go for to a nice place to eat. 😊
FYI, Kitra said there was a chance that Tortilla Joe's will be closing. Among other sources, if you believe David @Fresh Baked, it is a done deal that they will not only be closing Tortilla Joe's, but tearing down the building for another new restaurant they are bringing in. First, Happy Birthday, and if you like Tortilla Joe's at all, you might want to eat there before they put a grenade to the place. Jazz Kitchen is not going anywhere for now. Makes me sad, as I loved Joe's. Great food at a reasonable price. Where as the new Mexican restaurant they are bringing in, is a high priced gourmet establishment. Pretty soon, only the well to do will be able to eat in Downtown Disney. Oh yea, as to your Birthday Dinner, don't wait, as to what David has said, they were waiting for the Jazz Kitchen to be completed, and then say good by Joe's. Now you have made me think I should try to get reservations for Tortilla Joe's before it's too late. Anyone want to join me. Been a long time sense your Uncle Martin has closed an establishment. That's if I can remember?
The Jazz kitchen looks so yummy. Thanks for sharing. My husband and I have to eat there on our anniversary trip. I’m loving all the Pride merch too. Thanks for highlighting it. As a mom of two queer kids, it’s been disheartening seeing all the LGBTQ hate recently. It’s nice to see support from your channel. Makes this mama’s heart happy!
I didnt enjoy the food on the old menu but the new items look good! I enjoy hearing Chris do food reviews with you two since you all have different palates
Hi I hope you guys are doing well and that everything is going well for you guys and I hope you have a happy week. Also please remember to stay safe outside during summer time 🌴☀️🌞🍦🌊🏝️🏖️🍨🍧. Cuz sorry I don't like summer 🌴☀️🌞🍦🌊🏝️🏖️🍨🍧 cuz it's just way to hot 🥵 outside. Also your guys's videos are awesome and so are you guys so keep being you cuz you guys are awesome.
@@OrdinaryAdventures your welcome 🤗. Sorry if it's annoying I'm just one of those times that I always like to check on people cuz how someone's doing can go from being good one day and not good the next.
Thanks for the quick update video. OK - calling this out. Sorry... not sorry. I cant possibly imagine that the redesign of JKCGP is somehow linked to the Tiana Palace redesign of French market. The DtD redesigns are intended to make the shopping and dining experiences match other upscale shopping and dining areas around So Cal. Places like Fashion Island, South Coast Plaza, etc.I dont expect the Tiana Palace menu to be hugely different than previous menus. Interesting speculation but I highly doubt it. I guess design choices are forgiven if the food is good. The lounge looks very enjoyable. and, of course, now I must get beignets.
The salmon is actually different! It used to be a Cajun blackened salmon with collard greens. The old Jazz Kicthen was aesthetically based on Brennan’s in the French Quarter, with each dining room having its own theme (“King Room,” “Queen Room,” “Chanteclair Room,” etc). Gumbo Ya Ya is a specific take on a chicken andouille gumbo recipe - there’s a restaurant called Gumbo Ya Ya right by the Mississippi! (Right by cafe du Monde). Look I don’t….HATE….the new restaurant lol. The food is great the drinks are great. It’s still run by Brennan’s restaurant group (for now). I think the charm is pretty stripped away (WHY didn’t they use a pastel Mardi Gras color scheme??? Pink and orange??? Palm Springs???? Where am I???) but I don’t hate the California twist on the food. I think they didn’t want the confusion and comparisons to Tiana’s, and they want to be able to move a new restaurant in if Brennan’s doesn’t renew their lease in a couple years (which would’ve been hard with the perfect, gorgeous theming before). I just hope….against hope against hope… that Disney consults either Brennan’s restaurant group and/or Dooky Chase in New Orleans (Leah Chase being the inspiration for Tiana) on the food at Tiana’s because right NOW the food in New Orleans square is like, barely Cajun creole adjacent. Brennan’s restaurant group knows what the heck they’re doing so I’m not surprised the restaurant is still great. I had my wedding rehearsal dinner at the actual Brennan’s in New Orleans, their food is so amazing. And the group owns a bunch of restaurants in Nola: Napoleon House, Ralph’s on the Park, Mr B’s Bistro - so they were never gonna be a schlub. I’ll be happy to eat at Jazz Kitchen as long as they’re in DTD. @ordinary adventures you two NEED to get to the actual New Orleans sometime before summer 2024, before Tiana’s Bayou Adventure opens! So you can explore the beautiful city and culture and food (it’s not all seafood Peter I promise) and music to compare ❤ Edited to add: OH I’m actually surprised they said they didn’t use the cafe du Monde mix because in the past they used to say they did! 👀 conspiraccyyyyy! But still their beignets look so much more dense and nice than the Mickey ones. I wish they hadn’t gotten rid of the quick service gumbo though!!!!
Thanks so much for such the insightful comment. I (Peter) have actually been to Nola quite a bit when I was writing about movies to visit movie sets. I’ve had a lot of good meals there but New Orleans food just isn’t my thing for the most part. Also I don’t know how people deal with all that humidity in a daily basis 😂
Perfect timing! I was just wondering what to do this afternoon. Staying indoors due to the smoky skies from the canadian fires. 🙄 You had me at beignets. 💕💕 Thanks for the entertainment. -western NY Aimee
I'm glad to see the food looks amazing. I was the minority of people that wasn't up in arms about the remodel. While I enjoyed the old restaurant and it's theming, I liked the new look and feel they were going for. It reminds me of Disney Springs, and I hope to see the rest of DTD updated with the same look and feel. Definitely going to try the Jazz Kitchen on our next visit.
Those beignets are so awesome! You are correct, they are better than the Mickey shaped ones in the park. I'm so disappointed that I won't be able to try the Fruity Pebble one as we won't be back until October. Keep up the fantastic content!
I pumped my fist when it got the Ordinary Adventures star! This place holds a special place in my wife's and I's hearts. We used to go here so much when we were annual pass holders. Glad the remodel didn't take away from the food and drinks!
I'm glad to hear the food is still great but I can't see myself eating there much after the renovation. Luckily I got to go last summer before the redo and got to listen to the live music and enjoy the atmosphere but for the prices I would rather go somewhere in Disneyland to eat and have both the atmosphere and good food.
As soon as I saw your video posted, made reservations for lunch on Juneteenth for the fam. After watching all of the yummy food and drinks, cannot wait!!
i LOVE the song choice for the “Monorail to Disneyland” clip! idk why it made me feel so nostalgic and reminded me of stranger things. wish i was riding the monorail too!! i shazamed it 😂
I am so impressed by how well the food looks and how it was reviewed ... I loved seeing the bar area ... I kinda wish that the bar wood was painted (not that I would ever be the first one to advocate to paint over such beautiful wood) but I wish there were more of those New Orleans-y touches in the space
Haven't been to any Disney in many many years, but plan on it this year and will be using all your tips and critiques when it comes to eating at all the parks and locations. Love your reviews
Definitely agree with the opening comment. Not too sure of the new design. Didn't get to sample it last week when at Disney. The esthetics didn't draw me in. But since this video...maybe next time.
I agree with Peter in that the decor is fine for a new restaurant but an odd choice for one with a distinct theme of New Orleans! Glad the food is a better hybrid of the two cuisines.
Feel so honored to be in the background of this video lol! Love you guys and your content; the channel is so fun for me and the fam - thanks for being so kind when we said hi! My thoughts on our meal as an adjunct to your most excellent review: Wife had the NOLA BBQ shrimp and grits which was pretty tasty. Succulent shrimp without any rubbery texture you sometimes get with scrimps. Sauced appropriately seasoned well with solid Tony Chachere-esque creole flavors, BBQ sweetness, garlic, lemon, and Worcestershire - layered nicely for an overall W. Parmesan grits were thick, creamy, and delicious and the tomatoes worked nicely to balance out some of the richness alongside the BBQ/creole seasoning and lemon. 4/5 French Quarter Po’boy dip was 5 out of 5 - super moist and tender shredded beef on nicely balanced soft/crusty french roll with an outstanding, savory and spicy au jus for dipping; the jus wasn’t your typical broth either it was thicker with an almost lighter gravy like consistency: nice and salty with lots of umami and a good hit of paprika and cayenne based creole spice. Complimented quite well with jammy caramelized onions and the crisp bite of some vinegary pickled peppers to balance out the savoriness of the overall piece. (soaked up every bit of that flavor blasted jus) The bananas foster beignets blew me away. Denser than Disneyland beignets, served piping hot with a sticky, super sweet caramel like glaze - felt like there was banana incorporated into the actual batter itself. Rich brown sugar and deep banana flavors alongside that classic yeasty, warm breakfast pastry platform; Soft with some bite/chewiness to them like thicc clouds of happiness. Served with a perfectly done creme anglaise as the finishing touch. Only thing that would improve this dish would be a dark, strong, piping hot cup of coffee laced with chicory. 10/10 I’d eat these for days. Only negative that comes to mind was French fries weren’t super hot when our plates came out. I also ordered a mocktail, Strawberry Nojito which was refreshing, but in keeping with Disney drink tradition was extremely sweet. I prefer my drinks a bit more dry but that’s just a personal preference. Kids meal was flatbread pizza which was firmly mid IMO but my 8 year old loved it. Can’t speak much to the revamp as this was the first time I’d eaten here but overall very pleased. For anyone wondering about all the criticism surrounding the remodel: it does feel a bit “bare” in person as far as decor goes and orange as a central color theme is always hard to pull off; Still, the space is pleasantly open with spacious breezeways and lots of natural light overall. IMO a bit more of a thematic touch here would go a long way. Concur on the excellence of the views here from several positions; perfect for DD people watching. Cheers!
As soon as I started playing this, my toddler ran into the room screaming ORDINARY ADVENTURESSS 😂😂😂. We love you guys! I hope we run into you at the parks next month 😊
Everything I've seen about Din Tai Fung suggests it'll be in the new building they're constructing. And I've seen people quoting August as closing for Tortilla Jos, but they're still taking reservations into August.
I said it before and will say it again. You can’t go wrong with Fried Dough and Powdered sugar. Funnel Cake Delicious! Zeppoles Delicious! Beignets! Delicious! All fried dough and powdered sugar. Now I want a box of each.
I'd love a few park ride compilation/supercut videos. Maybe one per park? Some gaming channels do them and they're quite popular, even if they're hours long. We can just start where we left off in our history.
I actually like the new modern theme, the colors are a little bright, but hopefully it will blend in with what they are doing in Downtown Disney. All that food looked so good! We are coming in July and I just booked us a reservation!
I don’t like to look at it either but I’ve already seen some items that I want that you had. I will eat there on the 13th and I’m going there thank you guys maybe I’ll see you there❤
I'm glad the food is still good, but (for me, at least) there is so much more to a great dining experience than just the food. We used to go to Ralph Brennon's every time we went to DL. We were there a couple weeks ago, and I was shocked at how boring the Jazz Kitchen looked. We liked going there because we felt like we were in NOLA; now it looks like a Chipotle or a dining hall at a retirement home. We will be there this coming Sunday to give it a go, but I am incredibly disappointed in what they have turned one of my favorite restaurants into right now. Thanks for shooting this review. I hope to meet Ralph because I want to ask him, WTF? Cheers!
“Hopefully the new food is better than the new design”-Perfectly stated!!!
Ha
Aw man beat me to it😢
Agreed about the new design. Sorry, but to me the look is bland with little character. Am glad the food was not bland. I always thought the old design had lots of character. Will miss the fountain.

Finally an actual assessment of this restaurant. I loved the food and the upstairs is light and bright too. I was not a fan of the previous menu and interior design. This new iteration is a huge improvement.
I agree the interiors were a little dark. But I miss the exterior New Orleans theming.

My thoughts on our meal as an adjunct to your most excellent review:

The bananas foster beignets blew me away. Denser than Disneyland beignets, served piping hot with a sticky, super sweet caramel like glaze - felt like there was banana incorporated into the actual batter itself. Rich brown sugar and deep banana flavors alongside that classic yeasty, warm breakfast pastry platform; Soft with some bite/chewiness to them like thicc clouds of happiness. Served with a perfectly done creme anglaise as the finishing touch. Only thing that would improve this dish would be a dark, strong, piping hot cup of coffee laced with chicory. 10/10 I’d eat these for days.

I also ordered a mocktail, Strawberry Nojito which was refreshing, but in keeping with Disney drink tradition was extremely sweet.

We just got back from 2 days at Disneyland resort. We were hoping to run into you both! ❤
Sorry we missed you, hope you had fun!
Love your videos! Hope to see you at pride night!
If you see us say hi
Hi Peter, I love fruity pebbles cereal too!
🙌
As soon as I started playing this, my toddler ran into the room screaming ORDINARY ADVENTURESSS 😂😂😂. We love you guys! I hope we run into you at the parks next month 😊
Love it!!
Everything I've seen about Din Tai Fung suggests it'll be in the new building they're constructing. And I've seen people quoting August as closing for Tortilla Jos, but they're still taking reservations into August.
🤔 I don’t think the concept art for din tai Fung lines up with the concept art of the downtown Disney west side
It all looked so delicious, especially the vodka blueberry cocktail 🤭
It was!
I went to downtown Disney in April . I want to eat at jazz . We ate at the earl tavern . The lobster po boy looks good
Was the tavern good? We’ve never been
Peter, I’m dying. The artisanal ketchup from the Heinz family. 💀
😂
i know a lot of people have been disappointed with the new style of Jazz Kitchen but i absolutely love the remodel.
It’s not bad, it’s actually good.. It’s just a downgrade from the theming that was there previously.
I said it before and will say it again. You can’t go wrong with Fried Dough and Powdered sugar. Funnel Cake Delicious! Zeppoles Delicious! Beignets! Delicious! All fried dough and powdered sugar. Now I want a box of each.
True
Your new haircut is so cute Kitra! You guys should buy the beignet mix and film a redemption video for Kitra’s Kitchen!!!! 😁👍
Thanks 🙏 and mayyyybe
Omg! Yesss! This video makes me so excited to try the new menu over thanksgiving break! 🥳
Hope you enjoy!
Thanks for such a great vlog. Such amazing new food.
Glad you enjoyed it
Love your haircut Kitra! Super cute:)
Thank you 🤗
I love your Ewok ears Kitra! So cute!
Thanks! Got them on shopdisney on May 4
Peter: "It almost stab me in the eye"
Peter's Glasses: "Am I a joke to you?" 😂
😂
yummo, a bunch of new drinks to try, followed by Beignets and a pulled pork grilled cheese to soak up the alcohol.!!
🙌
This thumbnail has serious Thelma from Scooby Doo vibes!
Ha I can see it
Velma?
I'd love a few park ride compilation/supercut videos. Maybe one per park? Some gaming channels do them and they're quite popular, even if they're hours long. We can just start where we left off in our history.
🤔
You made it look so delish!
👍
Cute thumbnail and cute ears!
Thanks 😊
Love your videos! ❤
Thank you 😊
Kitra your hair looks fab!!
Thanks 😊
I actually like the new modern theme, the colors are a little bright, but hopefully it will blend in with what they are doing in Downtown Disney. All that food looked so good! We are coming in July and I just booked us a reservation!
👍 have a great trip
Love your bangs, Ketra! You look so cute!
Thanks 😊
Your food reviews are the absolute best. 😊
Thank you 🙏
I will forever love watching you guys
Thanks so much
I don’t like the new look 😢 I miss the old school NOLA look. It had so much character
I agree! But watch the video, the food is good!
@@OrdinaryAdventuresI’m still gonna get that Lobster Po Boy for sure!!! Lmao 😂😂😂
You guys are awesome🔥🤗
🩷🩷🩷
OK thanks for getting back to me see you again soon on the next video
No problem!
I don’t like to look at it either but I’ve already seen some items that I want that you had. I will eat there on the 13th and I’m going there thank you guys maybe I’ll see you there❤
Yes let us know what you think and what you get
I'm glad the food is still good, but (for me, at least) there is so much more to a great dining experience than just the food. We used to go to Ralph Brennon's every time we went to DL. We were there a couple weeks ago, and I was shocked at how boring the Jazz Kitchen looked. We liked going there because we felt like we were in NOLA; now it looks like a Chipotle or a dining hall at a retirement home. We will be there this coming Sunday to give it a go, but I am incredibly disappointed in what they have turned one of my favorite restaurants into right now. Thanks for shooting this review. I hope to meet Ralph because I want to ask him, WTF? Cheers!
He might be there!
Luv when Chris is around
