Tags: , , , ,

If you’re like me, you can’t wait to try the new menu at Lamplight Lounge. Well that’s a partial truth, because I did get to taste the Potato Skins and Carne Asada Roll. Both “Pix and Bits” menu items were delicious but what I’m most excited for are the signature cocktails and the Chicken Sandwich. And the Lobster Nachos of course! Now, even if you don’t have plans to visit the Lounge in the near future, you can cook up one of their tasty dishes in your own home. Disney has been kind enough to share the recipe for the Lamplight Lounge Potato Skins so that everyone can experience a little bit of Pixar Pier wherever they live.
