Disney4me Posted April 6, 2017 Report Share Posted April 6, 2017 There are two things that are high on the list of things we LOVE here at the DFB. Learn About:Jiko Animal Kingdom LodgeDisney World Restaurants One: Jiko — The Cooking Place in Animal Kingdom Lodge. And two: MAC AND CHEESE!! Once upon a time, these two things together made for a magical combination, as Jiko’s flavorful, rich, 4-cheese Mac and Cheese used to be served with the Oak-grilled Filet Mignon. However, times change. And for some time now, the signature Filet has instead been served with a rotating side, changing every couple of months or so (which is the reason I always recommended working the system a bit and ordering the Kids’ Macaroni and Cheese to go alongside your dish). For instance, the Filet is currently served with Pumpkin Pap “Isidudu,” Grilled Delta Asparagus, and South African Red Wine Sauce. Until tomorrow. Because — and we are SO PUMPED to tell you this — starting tomorrow (April 7th), the Filet Mignon will once again be served with the Mac and Cheese! With a twist, that is… Oak Grilled Filet with Mac and Cheese The Mac and Cheese will be made with the same four cheese sauce, but will also feature many of the ingredients that can be incorporated into a Bobotie (just click here to read a bit more about this dish as it’s served at Boma, also located in Animal Kingdom Lodge). South Africa Bobotie with Turkey and Mushrooms For this new Mac and Cheese at Jiko, think ingredients like beef, elk, curry spice, onions, dried apricots, golden raisins, and Marcona almonds folded into the Mac and Cheese. By the by, if you would prefer the standard Mac and Cheese… the answer is yes, you will still be able to order the Kids’s version (without the Bobotie elements) to accompany your filet! But, hey, when in Jiko… and really, you should be sure you ARE in Jiko at some point. It’s one of my favorites, and with the Mac and Cheese on the way back TOMORROW, it might be high time to visit for yourself if you haven’t already! What do you think of the return of the Mac and Cheese? Please let us know with a comment! Disney Food Blog Fans, be sure to check out our DFB Disney World Dining Guide e-Books!
