Recipe from the California Grill, Disney's Contemporary Resort

Over at The Disney InsidEARS we were discussing our favorite foods and the diverse and delicious options for Disney Dining in Disney World. Along with learning about some new "must try" treats that sound absolutely delicious, I learned some new fun foodie facts I'd like to share with you today.
From small snacks to luxurious, sit-down meals, there is something for everyone.
Here are some fun Disney World food facts from InsidEARS Community Manager Marissa:

DIVERSE DISNEY DINING: There are more than 475 unique places to dine across Walt Disney World Resort, including full-service and quick-service restaurants and portable food carts. In all, more than 6,000 different food items are available.

YOU SAY TOMATO, I SAY ‘YUM’: California Grill at Disney’s Contemporary Resort serves about 70 pounds of vine-ripened tomatoes each night during “tomato season” (July through November).

A TASTE OF HOLLYWOOD: Approximately 63,000 Cobb salads are served every year at The Hollywood Brown Derby at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. The original recipe for the dressing, created in 1926, still tops the salads. “The Cobb” was invented at the original Hollywood Brown Derby by restaurateur Bob Cobb.

A LOT TO GOBBLE!: More than 1.2 million pounds of Turkey Legs are consumed every year in the four Walt Disney World Resort theme parks.

MICKEY LIKES TO SAY ‘CHEESE’:

More than 89 varieties of cheese are used by Disney theme park and resort chefs at Walt Disney World Resort.
