00:00Hey, it's Coop. We are aboard Disney Destiny. You can win your way aboard this trip, by the way.

00:05Just go to big981.com. Let's talk one of my favorite things. Maybe my favorite thing.

00:09Food with Chef Andy. How are you? I'm good, thank you. Very good.

00:13So we are here at the Pride Lands aboard Disney Destiny. What an incredible facility you have here.

00:19But I want to focus in on some of these dishes that you have here. I am a big seafood fan,

00:23so when I came in the room, my eyes immediately went to the scallops. Talk to me about it.

00:27I knew you were going to go there. First of all, you know, we had a lot of fun developing the menu.

00:32You know, we have authentic ingredients, spice blends, you know, a specialty to the region.

00:39And we incorporated that into our guest favorites. So you're right, the panseer scallops,

00:45we serve it with a pearl faro risotto. So instead of a borough rice risotto, which you might normally expect,

00:53it's an ancient grain. You know, it's typical for that region.

00:57And we serve it with a granulata crumb and an arugula drizzle. So we're super excited.

01:02I get this drool out of my mouth. I'm also a meat and potatoes guy, so I want to move over to this huge thing over here

01:08because it looks delicious. What is that?

01:10That's a slow braised lamb shank. So we have a spice blend, six or seven spices from, again, from the region.

01:17And so it's a traditional cooking method. A lot of the cooking methods, you know, slow braised, grilling.

01:26And this one is slow braised. We serve it over cracked bulgur wheat with spinach and some squash.

01:33And it should be melt in the mouth.

01:35That's one of those ones that you're going to have to undo the belt a little bit at the end of it.

01:38It's totally worth it. Okay, so we've had some seafood. We've had the meat and potatoes. What's next? Can you predict it? It's the dessert.

01:43It's the dessert.

01:43It's the sweets. Yes. Talk to me about what is this?

01:46So this is cinnamon milk tart.

01:49Okay.

01:49Again, we've got some great feedback already from the guests on board.

01:53And it's served inside a short-crust pastry.

01:57So you get the cinnamon milk creamy and the nice short-crust tart.

02:02My kids are going to go for that. Absolutely. Tonight.

02:04All right. So we've talked about a little bit of the food.

02:06And thank you, Chef Andy.

02:07But of course, it's Disney.

02:08So we know that it's food and it's also entertainment.

02:11And that's where my man Paul comes into the picture.

02:13Hey, how are you doing?

02:14I'm doing great.

02:15Talk to me about the kind of entertainment people can expect when they come aboard Disney Destiny.

02:19They come here to the Pride Lands.

02:20Well, what we wanted to do was take this iconic movie, The Lion King,

02:24and bring it to the Disney Destiny in a brand new way.

02:27So we reimagined how we could tell this story.

02:30And the way we tell this story is with two African storytellers

02:34that go from village to village telling stories.

02:36In this story, The Lion King happens to be the one.

02:38And so we wanted to make sure that we were being authentic about what we were presenting

02:42and what we were saying and how we were doing it.

02:44So what we did, we went in and we took music from the Broadway show,

02:47The Lion King movie, Lion King 1.5, Lion King 2,

02:51and then mixed those all together to help tell of Simba's story and his travels.

02:56And within this, we've added what they call in Africa the second national anthem.

03:01So there's a song called Shoshaloza, which is really moving.

03:04And then there was one song that was created especially for the Disney Destiny,

03:08and it's called Serengeti Rain.

03:10And if you don't mind, I'd like to share a little bit of that with you and our guests.

03:13How about that?

03:14I don't mind at all.

03:15All right, let's do it.

03:15All right.

03:16All right.
