The other great thing about Disney Land is that if you find a meal you like. You can actually call them, most times you can find it online, and they will actually send you the recipe. Amazing customer service.
One of the best things that I tasted was the lobster bisque. This was a dish that I had at Epcot in Disney Land. It was a restaurant called Le Chefs de France. The entire meal was great, but this dish really stood out. I found this recipe online and made a couple of tweaks to it. The recipe is really not that complicated, but there are some steps to it. Be patient, it's well worth it.

INGREDIENTS
- 14 oz. raw lobster in the shell **
- 1/3 cup butter

- 2 shallots, finely chopped
- 1/4 clove of garlic, crushed
- 4 cups shrimp stock *
- 2 1/2 cups water
- 1/3 cup flour
- 1 3/4 cups tomato puree
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 tsp each: chervil & tarragon
* - You can substitute chicken stock.
** - Reserve a little chopped lobster for garnish.
DIRECTIONS
- 1Melt half the butter in a pan, add the onions and cook until softened, when done add the garlic and shallots, cook briefly. Add the lobster, fish stock, peppercorns and the water. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer for 20 minutes. Remove the lobster from the stock, cool & take the meat from the shells & set aside. Crush the shells and return to the pan and continue to simmer for 40 minutes. Strain the stock through a sieve.
- 2In a blender, puree the lobster with some of the stock. This will look like a lobster milkshake. Mix the flour and remaining butter to make a paste. Add paste, tomato puree, cream, and mix well, salt & pepper to taste. Add the tarragon and chervil cook, stirring continuously over high heat until the soup thickens. Reduce and simmer gently for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped lobster.
