Welcome to the podcast that's all about Disneyland's food history! I'm your host, Steven Alvarez, a San Francisco State graduate with a B.A. in History, focusing on both Food histories and American Indian-United States relations history. Currently I am a Line Cook at the Lobby Bar & Grill in Temecula, CA by day. By night I'm a music artist by the name of Spiffy Man. But enough about your host, let me outline what I'll be covering!
Throughout the course of this first season I'll be discussing Opening Day and all the foods that were available, how outside sponsorships shaped the restaurants into what they are and had been, how a very well known tortilla chip brand was founded in Frontierland, where the idea for turkey legs popped up, how chimichangas came to be a family staple within the parks, the powerful rise of the Dole Whip, the intriguing history of Main Street's Little Red Wagon, and will end it all with the McDonald's small influence within the parks.
If you're feeling both hungry and intrigued, I'm right there with you. Be sure to never miss an episode by subscribing to this feed. Any questions, comments, or future episode suggestions can be sent to
