Let’s take a stroll down Liberty Street
As a teaser for his upcoming tours of Disneyland, Jim Hill talks about a proposed addition to the Anaheim theme park that never quite made it off the drawing board: Liberty Street, a new “land” that was to have celebrated colonial America.

“To all who come to this happy place: Welcome. Disneyland is your land. Here age relives fond memories of the past, and here youth may savor the challenge and promise of the future. Disneyland is dedicated to the ideals, the dreams and the hard facts that have created America, with the hope that it will be a source of joy and inspiration to all the world.”
You’ll find the famous plaque that actually has this inscription on it in the Town Square area. Right at the base of the flag pole. And — after many people read Disneyland’s official dedication — they look up and see Main Street USA all around them and think: “Well, this must be what Walt was talking about. A part of the park that celebrates ‘ … the ideals, dreams and hard facts that have created America.’ “
Well, not exactly.
Truth be told, Main Street USA (as well as the theme park’s Frontierland area) was originally supposed to be just the start of Disneyland’s American adventure. Soon after the “Happiest Place on Earth” opened up in July of 1955, Walt envisioned adding two other areas to the Anaheim theme park that would have paid tribute to U.S. history: Liberty Street (which was to have celebrated America’s Colonial period) and Edison Square (which was to have illustrated what it was like when electricity first arrived in the American home).
Today, I’m going to take the liberty of writing about just one of these proposed Disneyland additions: Liberty Street. Which was to have occupied that large backstage area you’ll find between Main Street USA and Tomorrowland.

Had the Imagineers actually gone forward with their original construction plans … As we walked past Main Street USA’s Maxwell House Coffee House, we would have noticed a new street off to the right that veered off of Town Square at a 45 degree angle.
This is Liberty Street. And — as we step over its threshold — we immediately leave turn-of-the-century middle America. Our new location is the East coast of the United States circa 1775. And the attention to detail that you would have found here was just astounding.
Take — for instance — the paving material that we’re walking on in this part of the theme park. Those are cobblestones. And directly ahead? Do you see those tri-masted schooners tied up at Griffin’s Wharf.

As you walk up the street, you immediately find yourself immersed in Colonial America. To your left, you’ll pass the glassblowers shoppe as well as “The Forge,” which is where Liberty Street’s blacksmith works.
As you walk to the end of this artfully designed cul-de-sac, you notice that Liberty Street eventually opens up and becomes Liberty Square. Here, to your left, you’ll find a recreation of Paul Revere’s silver shoppe as well as the printing press used to churn out editions of the “Boston Observer” newspaper.

And — in the center of the square — you’ll find (of course) the Liberty Tree. A proud old oak tree that has — high up in its branches — thirteen glowing lanterns. Which represent the original thirteen colonies.
Beyond the Liberty Tree is the entrance to Liberty Hall. Which was where Liberty Street’s two big attractions were supposed to be located: The “Hall of the Declaration of Independence” show as well as the “Hall of the Presidents of the United States” show.
As you came through the front door of Liberty Hall, you found yourself in a giant foyer surrounded by dioramas which recreate famous scenes from American history. Were you to enter the auditorium on your left, you would have found yourself inside a 500-seat theater where the “Hall of the Declaration of Independence” show was presented.

Now that the “HOTDOI” show was pretty ambitious, at least by 1959 standards. It was compromised of three scenes deliberately staged to look like famous paintings from the Revolutionary War era. This show was to have featured sculpted, life-size figures that — while they weren’t quite Audio-Animatronic — were still capable of some rudimentary movement.
FYI: The famous paintings that the Imagineers wanted to recreate as part of the “Hall of the Declaration of Independence” show were J.L.G. Ferris’ “The Drafting of the Declaration of Independence” (Which showed Ben Franklin & John Adams consulting with Thomas Jefferson as he wrote the Declaration); John Trumball’s “Signing of the Declaration of Independence” (Which showed all of our founding fathers in Philadelphia’s Independence Hall as they made ready to sign the Declaration) and Henry Mosler’s “Ringing of the Liberty Bell” (Which showed what happened after John Hancock & the rest of the crew in Philly had actually put their John Hancocks on this doc).
Meanwhile, across the foyer in the “Hall of the President of the United States” auditorium … Well, obviously, this was the proposed attraction that would eventually serve as the inspiration for WDW’s “HOP” show. But again (because this was in a pre-AA era) the Imagineers planned on using dramatic lighting, stereophonic sound as well as sculpted figures that were capable of some movement to give the illusion that George Washington and the rest of our chief executive were somehow alive.
The problem was that — in order to properly pull off all of the presidents to be featured in the “HOPOTUS” show as well as all the founding fathers to be found in the “HOTDOI” show — the Imagineers had to take a giant leap forward with the type of technology that they were typically using at the Anaheim theme park’s attractions. So the historic & respected figures that would appear in these two Liberty Street shows could appear with all the dignity & decorum that Walt was insisting upon.
Which is why Disney didn’t immediately push his Imagineers to go forward with construction of Liberty Street. He knew that it would take the Imagineers a number of years to come up with all the necessary technological advances that they’d need in order to make the “Hall of the Declaration of Independence” show as well as the “Hall of the Presidents of the United States” show possible.
But Walt was a patient man. He was willing to wait. Which is why he quietly stood by as 1959 gave way to 1960. Which — in turn — gave way to 1961, 1962 & 1963.
Mind you, WED was still actively pushing forward with development of Liberty Street ‘s two main shows. That’s why the Imagineers had built a full-scale mock-up of the Lincoln figure for what was then-known as the “One Nation Under God” show.
Of course, this was the same Lincoln figure that New York World’s Fair promoter Robert Moses saw when he was touring WED with Walt one day (As Moses was trying to get an update on all the shows that Disney was preparing for the 1964-65 Fair). Moses got one brief glimpse of the robotic Abe in action, then insisted that he must be allowed to present this “winkin’, blinkin’ Lincoln” at the Fair.
Walt initially balked at Robert’s request, insisting that it would be years before the robotic version of our 16th president would be ready to be seen by the public. But Moses insisted. Which is why — little more than a year later — “Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln” opened at the 1964-65 World’s Fair as the centerpiece attraction at the State of Illinois pavilion.
“Great Moments” proved to be so popular with the public that Walt immediately decided to bring the show back to Disneyland. The only problem was … There really wasn’t enough time (or enough money. You see, at this time, Walt & Roy were in the process of secretly buying up all the land they needed to build Disney World. Which is why every extra cent they had was being plowed into the purchasing of Central Florida swampland. But I digress … ) to give Honest Abe a proper setting (I.E. Go forward with construction of Liberty Street).
Which is why the robotic version of our 16th president performed (on and off) for the next 40 years. Until last month, that is. When “Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln” closed to make way for the new Disneyland museum exhibit. Which will help celebrate the 50th anniversary of “The Happiest Place on Earth.”
You know, it’s kind of ironic that the Imagineers opted to shut down “Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln.” Why for? Well … Because the display cases in the pre-show area of this Main Street USA attraction was one of the only public places where you could actually see concept art for this proposed Disneyland addition, Liberty Street. (Special thanks to David Michaels AKA Darkbeer for providing the original photograph of that concept art that proved to be so useful in the production of today’s article).
Anyway … As you well know, Liberty Street never really got built at Disneyland. Mind you, this proposed addition to “The Happiest Place on Earth” came surprsingly close to coming off the drawing board. As recently as the early 1980s, the “Disneyland Preview Center” featured concept art for a “Hall of Presidents” attraction. Along with a show description that insisted that Liberty Street would soon be open for business in Anaheim.
Sadly, the closest we ever got to Disneyland getting a Liberty Street was 3000 miles away. As in: WDW’s Magic Kingdom got a somewhat expanded version of this proposed Anaheim addition. Which eventually wound up (appropriately enough) with a much more expansive sounding name: Liberty Square.
Anywho … That’s the story of Liberty Street. If you’d like to hear even more stories about the “Disneyland That Might Have Been,” then I suggest that you follow this link over to Mouseketrips. Where I’m sure Scott Liljenquist will be happy to sign you up for this coming weekend’s JHM tours.

Jens Dahlmann of LongHorn Steakhouse has lots of great tips when it comes to grilling

Listen to the Article
|
Sure, for some folks, the Fourth of July is all about fireworks. But for the 75% of all Americans who own a grill or a smoker, the Fourth is our Nation’s No. 1 holiday when it comes to grilling. Which is why 3 out of 4 of those folks will spend some time outside today working over a fire.

But here’s the thing: Though 14 million Americans can cook a steak with confidence because they actually grill something every week, the rest of us – because we use our grill or smoker so infrequently … Well, let’s just say that we have no chops when it comes to dealing with chops (pork, veal or otherwise).
So what’s a backyard chef supposed to in a situation like this when there’s so much at steak … er … stake? Turn to someone who really knows their way around a grill for advice. People like Jens Dahlmann, the Vice President and Corporate Executive Chef for Darden Restaurant’s LongHorn Steakhouse brand.
Given that Jens’ father & grandfather were chefs, this is a guy who literally grew up in a kitchen. In his teens & twenties, Dahlmann worked in hotels & restaurants all over Switzerland & Germany. Once he was classically trained in the culinary arts, Jens then jumped ship. Well, started working on cruise ships, I mean.
Anyway … While working on Cunard’s Sea Goddess, Dahlmann met Sirio Maccioni, the founder of Le Cirque 2000. Sirio was so impressed with Jens’ skills in the kitchen that he offered him the opportunity to become sous-chef at this New York landmark. After four years of working in Manhattan, Dahlmann then headed south to become executive chef at Palm Beach’s prestigious Café L’Europe.
Jens Dahlmann back during his Disney World days
And once Jens began wowing foodies in Florida, it wasn’t all that long ’til the Mouse came a-calling. Mickey wanted Dahlmann to shake things up in the kitchen over at WDW’s Flying Fish Café. And he did such a good job with that Disney’s Boardwalk eatery the next thing Jens knew, he was then being asked to work his magic with the menu at the Contemporary Resort’s California Grill.
From there, Dahlmann had a relatively meteoric rise at the Mouse House. Once he became Epcot’s Food & Beverage general manager, it was only a matter of time before he wound up as the executive chef in charge of this theme park’s annual International Food & Wine Festival. Which – under Jens’ guidance – experienced some truly explosive growth.
“When I took on Food & Wine, that festival was only 35 days long and had gross revenues of just $5.5 million. When I left Disney in 2016, Food & Wine was now over 50 days long and that festival had gross revenues of $22 million,” Dahlmann admitted during a recent sit-down. “I honestly loved those 13 years I spent at Disney. When I was working there, I learned so much because I was really cooking for America.”
And it was exactly that sort of experience & expertise that Darden wanted to tap into when they lured Jens away from Mickey last year to become LongHorn Steakhouse’s new Vice President and Corporate Executive Chef. But today … Well, Dahlmann is offering tips to those of us who are thinking about cooking steak tips for the Fourth.

“When you’re planning on grilling this holiday, if you’re looking for a successful result, the obvious place to start is with the quality of the meat you plan on cooking for your friends & family. If you want the best results here, don’t be cheap when you go shopping. Spend the money necessary for a fresh filet or a New York strip. Better yet a Ribeye, a nice thick one with good marbling. Because when you look at the marbling on a steak, that’s where all the flavor happens,” Jens explained. “That said, you always have to remember that — the higher you go with the quality of your meat — the less time you’re going to want that piece of meat to spend on the grill.”
And speaking of cooking … Before you even get started here, Jens suggests that you first take the time to check over all of your grilling equipment. Making sure that the grill itself is first scraped clean & then properly oiled before you then turn up the heat.
“If you’re working with a dirty grill, when you go to turn your meat, it may wind up sticking to the grill. Or maybe those spices that you’ve just so carefully coated your steak with will wind up sticking to the grill, rather than your meat,” Dahlmann continued. “Which is why it’s always worth it to spend a few minutes prior to firing up your grill properly cleaning & oiling it.”
Photo by Jim Hill
And speaking of heat … Again, before you officially get started grilling here, Jens says that it’s crucial to check your temperature gauges. Make sure that your char grill is set at 550 (so that it can then properly handle the thicker cuts of meat) and your flattop is set at 425 (so it can properly sear thinner pieces of meat).
Okay. Once you’ve bought the right cuts of quality meat, properly cleaned & oiled your grill, and then made sure that everything’s set at the right temperature (“If you can only stand to hold your hand directly over the grill for two or three seconds, that’s the right amount of heat,” Dahlmann said), it’s now time to season your steaks.
“Don’t be afraid to be bold here. You can’t be shy when it comes to seasoning your meat. You want to give it a nice coating. Largely because — if you’re using a char grill — a lot of that seasoning is just going to fall off anyway,” Jens stated. “It’s up to you to decide what sort of seasoning you want to use here. Even just some salt & pepper will enhance a steak’s flavor.”

Then – according to Dahlmann – comes the really tough part. Which is placing your meat on the grill and then fighting the urge to flip it too early or too often.
“The biggest mistake that a lot of amateur cooks make is that they flip the steak too many times. The real key to a well-cooked piece of meat is just let it be, “Jens insisted. “Of course, if you’re serving different cuts of meat at your Fourth of July feast, you always want to put your biggest thickest steak on the grill first. If you’re also cooking a New York Strip, you want to put that one on a few minutes later. But after that, just let the grill do its job and flip your meat a total of three or four times, once every three minutes or so.”
Of course, the last thing you want to do is overcook a quality piece of meat. Which is why Dahlmann suggests that – when it comes to grilling steaks – if you’re going to err, err on the side of undercooking.
“You can always put a piece of meat back on the grill if it’s slightly undercooked. When you over-cook something, all you can do then is start over with a brand-new piece of meat,” Jens said. “Just be sure that you’re using the correct cut of meat for the cooking result you’re aiming for. If someone wants a rare or medium rare steak, you should go with a thicker cut of steak. If one of your guests wants their steak cooked medium or well, it’s best to start with a thinner cut of meat.”

As you can see, the folks at Longhorn take grilling steaks seriously. How seriously? Just last week at Darden Corporate Headquarters in Orlando, seven of these brand’s top grill masters (who – after weeks of regional competitions – had been culled from the 491 restaurants that make up this chain) competed for a $10,000 prize in the Company’s second annual Steak Master Series. And Dahlmann was one of the people who stood in Darden’s test kitchens, watching like a hawk as each of the contestants struggled to prepare six different dishes in just 20 minutes according to Longhorn Steakhouse’s exacting standards.
“I love that Darden does this. Recognizing the best of the best who work this restaurant,” Jens concluded. “We have a lot of people here who are incredibly knowledgeable & passionate when it comes to grilling.”
Speaking of which … If today’s story doesn’t include the exact piece of info that you need to properly grill that T-bone, just whip out your iPhone & text GRILL to 55702. Or – better yet – visit ExpertGriller.com prior to firing up your grill or smoker later today.

Brattleboro’s Strolling of the Heifers is a sincere if somewhat surreal way to spend a summer’s day in Vermont

Listen to the Article

Some people travel halfway ‘around the planet so that they can then experience the excitement of the Running of the Bulls in Pamplona. If you’re more of a Slow Living enthusiast (as I am), then perhaps you should amble to Brattleboro, VT. Where – over the first weekend in June – you can then join a herd of cow enthusiasts at the annual Strolling of the Heifers.
Now in its 16th year, this three-day long event typically gets underway on Friday night in June with a combination block party / gallery walk. But then – come Saturday morning – Main Street in Brattleboro is lined with thousands of bovine fans.
Photo by Jim Hill
They’ve staked out primo viewing spots and set up camp chairs hours ahead of time. Just so these folks can then have a front row seat as this year’s crop of calves (which all come from local farms & 4-H clubs) are paraded through the streets.
Photo by Jim Hill
Viewed from curbside, Strolling of the Heifers is kind of this weird melding of a sincere small town celebration and Pasadena’s Doo Dah Parade. Meaning that – for every entry that actually acknowledged this year’s theme (i.e. “Dance to the Moosic”) — …
Photo by Jim Hill
… there was something completely random, like this parade’s synchronized shopping cart unit.
Photo by Jim Hill
And for every piece of authentic Americana (EX: That collection of antique John Deere tractors that came chugging through the city) …
Photo by Jim Hill
… there was something silly. Like – say – a woman dressed as a Holstein pushing a baby stroller through the streets. And riding in that stroller was a pig dressed in a tutu.
Photo by Jim Hill
And given that this event was being staged in the Green Mountain State & all … Well, does it really surprise you to learn that — among the groups that marched in this year’s Strolling of the Heifers – was a group of eco-friendly folks who, with their chants of “We’re Number One !,” tried to persuade people along the parade route not to flush the toilet after they pee. Because – as it turns out – urine can be turned into fertilizer.
Photo by Jim Hill
And speaking of fertilizer … At the tail end of the parade, there was a group of dedicated volunteers who were dealing with what came out of the tail end of all those cows.

This year’s Strolling of the Heifers concluded at the Brattleboro town common. Where event attendees could then get a closer look at some of the featured units in this year’s parade…

… or perhaps even pet a few of the participants.

But as for the 90+ calves who took part in the 2017 edition of Strolling of the Heifers, once they reached the town common, it was now time for a nosh or a nap.

Elsewhere on the common, keeping with this year’s “Dance to the Moosic” theme, various musical groups performed in & around the gazebo throughout the afternoon.

While just across the way – keeping with Brattleboro’s tradition of showcasing the various artisans who live & work in the local community – some pretty funky pieces were on display at the Slow Living Exposition.
Photo by Jim Hill
All in all, attending Strolling of the Heifers is a somewhat surreal but still very pleasant way to spend a summer’s day in Vermont. And that’s no bull.
Photo by Jim Hill
Well, that could be a bull. To be honest, what with the wig & all, it’s kind of hard to tell.

Looking to make an authentic Irish meal for Saint Patrick’s Day? If so, then chef Kevin Dundon says not to cook corned beef & cabbage

Listen to the Article
|
Let’s at least start on a positive note: Celebrated chef, author & TV personality Kevin Dundon – the man that Tourism Ireland has repeatedly chosen as the Face of Irish Food – loves a lot of what happens in the United States on March 17th.
“I mean, look at what they do in Chicago on Saint Patrick’s Day. They toss all of this vegetable-based dye into the Chicago River and then paint it green for a day. That’s terrific,” Kevin said.
But then when it comes to what many Americans eat & drink on St. Paddy’s Day (i.e., a big plate of corned beef and cabbage. Which is then washed down with a mug of green beer) … Well, that’s where Dundon has to draw the line.

“Green beer? No real Irishman would be caught dead drinking that stuff,” Kevin insists. “And as for eating corned beef & cabbage … That’s not actually authentic Irish fare either. Bacon and cabbage? Sure. But corned beef & cabbage was something that the Irish only began eating after they’d come to the States to escape the Famine. And even then these Irish-Americans only began serving corned beef & cabbage to their friends & family because they had to make do with the ingredients that were available to them at that time.”
And thus begins the strange tale of how corned beef & cabbage came to be associated with the North American celebration of Saint Patrick’s Day celebration. Because – according to Dundon – beef just wasn’t all that big a part of the Irish diet back in the 19th century.
To explain: Back in the Old Country, cattle – while they were obviously highly prized for the milk & cheese that they produced – were also beasts of burden. Meaning that they were often used for ploughing the fields or for hauling heavy loads. Which is why – back then — these animals were rarely slaughtered when they were still young & healthy. If anything, land owners liked to put a herd of cattle on display out in one of their pastures because that was then a sign to their neighbors that this farm was prosperous.

“Whereas pork … Well, everybody raised pigs back then. Which is why pork was a staple of the Irish diet rather than beef,” Dundon continued.
So if that’s what people actually ate back in the Old Country, how then did corned beef & cabbage come to be so strongly associated with Saint Patrick’s Day in the States.? That largely had to do with where the Irish wound up living after they arrived in the New World.
“When the Irish first arrived in America following the Great Famine, a lot of them wound up living in the inner city right alongside the Germans & the Jews, who were also recent immigrants to the States. And while that farm-fresh pork that the Irish loved wasn’t readily available, there was brisket. Which the Irish could then cure by first covering this piece of meat with corn kernel-sized pieces of rock salt – that’s how it came to be called corned beef. Because of the sizes of the pieces of rock salt that were used in the curing process – and then placing all that in a pot of water with other spices to soak for a few days.”

And as for the cabbage portion of corned beef & cabbage … Well, according to Kevin, in addition to buying their meat from the kosher delis in their neighborhood, the Irish would also frequent the stores that the German community shopped in. Where – thanks to their love of sauerkraut (i.e., pickled cabbage) – there was always a ready supply of cabbage to be had.
“So when you get right down to it, it was the American melting pot that led to corned beef & cabbage being found in the Irish-American cooking pot,” Dundon continued. “Since they couldn’t find or didn’t have easy access to the exact same ingredients that they had back in Ireland, Irish-Americans made do with what they could find in the immediate vicinity. And what they made was admittedly tasty. But it’s not actually authentic Irish fare.”
Mind you, what Kevin serves at Raglan Road Irish Pub and Restaurant at Disney Springs (which – FYI – Orlando Magazine voted as the area’s best restaurant back in 2014) is nothing if not authentic. Dundon and his team at this acclaimed gastropub pride themselves on making traditional Irish fare and then contemporized it.

“Take – for example – what we serve here instead of corned beef & cabbage. Again, because it was pork – rather than beef – that was the true staple of the Irish diet back then, what we offer instead is a loin of bacon that has been glazed with Irish Mist. That then comes with colcannon potatoes. Which is this traditional Irish dish that’s made up of mashed potato that have had some cabbage & bacon mixed through it,” Kevin enthused. “This heavenly ham – that’s what we actually call this traditional Irish dish at Raglan Road, Kevin’s Heavenly Ham – also includes some savory cabbage with a parsley cream sauce as well as a raisin cider jus. It’s simple food. But because of the basic ingredients – and that’s the real secret of Irish cuisine. That our ingredients are so strong – the flavors just pop off the plate.”
Which brings us to the real challenge that Dundon and the Raglan Road team face every day. Making sure that they actually have all of the ingredients necessary to make this traditional-yet-contemporized Irish fare to those folks who frequent this Walt Disney World favorite.
“Take – for example – the fish we serve here. We only used cold water fish. Salmon, mussels and haddock that have been hauled out of the Atlantic, the ocean that America and Ireland share,” Kevin stated. “Not that there’s anything wrong with warm water fish. It’s just that … Well, it doesn’t have the same structure. It’s a softer fish, which doesn’t really fit the parameters of Irish cuisine. And if you’re going to serve authentic food, you have to be this dedicated when it comes to sourcing your ingredients.

And if you’re thinking of perhaps trying to serve an authentic Irish meal this year, rather than once again serving corned beef & cabbage at your Saint Patrick’s Day Feast … Well, back in September of last year, Mitchell Beazley published “The Raglan Road Cookbook: Inside America’s Favorite Irish Pub.” This 296-page hardcover not only includes the recipe for Kevin’s Heavenly Ham but also it tells the tale of how this now-world-renown restaurant wound up being built in Orlando.
On the other hand, if you happen to have to the luck of the Irish and are actually down at The Walt Disney World Resort right now, it’s worth noting that Raglan Road is right in the middle of its Mighty St. Patrick’s Day Festival. This four day-long event – which includes Irish bands and professional dancers – stretches through Sunday night. And in addition to all that authentic Irish fare that Dundon and his team are cooking up, you also sample the fine selection of beers & cocktails that this establishment’s four distinct antique bars (each of which are more than 130 years old and were imported directly from Ireland) will be serving. Just – As ucht Dé (That’s “For God’s Sake” in Gaelic) – don’t make the mistake of asking the bartender there for a mug of green beer.
“Why would anyone willingly drink something like that?,” Dundon laughed. “I mean, just imagine what their washroom will look like the morning after.”
