Dare we say, this healthy take on a Big Mac is better than the original! As much as we love a good burger from time to time, this Big Mac in a Bowl is a fresh and delicious alternative. In the amount of time it takes to hit the drive-thru, you can have the same fast food experience made right at home with this Big Mac in a Bowl on the dinner table. The Specialty Burger was topped with spinach, special sauce, and a sunny side egg according to the menu. There was also a piece of American cheese on the burger as well. The special sauce was your basic Big Mac sauce, and complemented the spinach and egg.

“I’ll gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today.” – J. Wellington Wimpy
Sometimes the greatest surprises come in the most unusual places. We never expected this to be the case the day we stepped up to the window at Wimpy’s in Toon Lagoon to order a meal. While the experience as a whole wasn’t the most pleasant, the quality of the food at Wimpy’s completely caught us off guard in the best way possible.
If you’re unfamiliar with Wimpy’s, it probably has to do with the fact that it’s always closed. It’s located directly across from the entrance to Popeye & Bluto’s Bilge-Rat Barges and is considered a seasonal restaurant. The name comes from the character in the Popeye cartoons that has an unhealthy obsession with hamburgers the same way Popeye has a penchant for spinach. Therefore, the main focus of the restaurant is burgers, but there is way more to Wimpy’s than what meets the eye. We’ll start with the best part of Wimpy’s – the food.

The menu for Wimpy’s is very small, but it seems pretty spot on for a counter service restaurant that isn’t very large itself. There are four main entrees, including a Bacon Cheeseburger, Specialty Burger, Grilled Fish Pita, and Foot Long Hot Dog. These four items can be served as a Combo with Fries and a Milkshake or with just the fries for a discounted price. A Caprese Salad and Fruit Plate are also listed if you’re looking for a lighter option of sorts. The only dessert on the menu is a Raspberry Whoopie Pie, which sounds like it could be delicious, but we ultimately passed on it.
Specialty Burger – $18.99 as a Combo or $15.49
Wimpy was in fact a burger connoisseur, so it would be disrespectful to not order a burger at his restaurant, so we chose the Specialty Burger, because it fit in perfectly with the Popeye theme. The Specialty Burger was topped with spinach, special sauce, and a sunny side egg according to the menu. There was also a piece of American cheese on the burger as well. The special sauce was your basic Big Mac sauce, and complemented the spinach and egg. The spinach was cooked, but I’m unsure of whether or not that was from being placed under a hot burger patty and absorbing all of those juices. The egg was about as perfect as you can get with a small amount of yolk pouring out, but still not overly runny. Despite being a typical thin quick service patty, it was cooked to a perfect medium and not dried out at all. This burger would fit in at a craft burger joint if it was twice the size, but on a hot theme park day, it was the right amount of food and completely delicious.
Grilled Fish Pita – $17.49 as a Combo or $15.49
Instead of a boring chicken sandwich, Wimpy’s went with a Grilled Fish Pita for their menu and it is a solid choice. The Grilled Fish Pita is filled with blackened cod, lettuce, caramelized onions, pineapple salsa and citrus mayo. This item is made fresh every single time it’s ordered, so expect an extra wait if you choose it. The pita was soft and fluffy like a cloud. The blackened cod had just a slight hint of spiciness that you’d expect from anything blackened, but it wasn’t overpowering for those who prefer their food to be more mild. The saltiness of the fish danced beautifully with the sweetness from the caramelized onions, pineapple slaw and citrus mayo. It’s a very messy sandwich, due to the amount of ingredients inside that are dripping, but the portion and taste is worth every bit of hassle.
It’s not all rainbows and happiness at Wimpy’s. There are several issues we encountered when having our meal. The first was line management. What should’ve been a relatively quick and easy process was extremely difficult due to confusion amongst guests. Some were ignoring the Order Here windows and lining up in the exits causing issues and most were asking to alter the options on the menu to suit what they wanted. The guests are completely at fault here, but there were no Team Members stepping up to help handle and expedite the situation. Ultimately, we waited 15 minutes to order with only three people in front of us in line.
The next hurdle was seating. There are two seating areas for Wimpy’s and neither is big enough. To the right of the restaurant, there are eight tables – five under cover and three with umbrellas – and to the left of the restaurant there is another group of tables with some under cover and some exposed to nature. Wimpy’s is not just by the entrance to Popeye & Bluto’s Bilge-Rat Barges, but it’s also next to the exit, which means there are a lot of lingering guests taking tables to wait for their family members, as well as soaked guests who just got off the attraction and need a place to dry off. Because of this, the tables were occupied constantly and you had to have perfect timing to grab a seat.
If you’re lucky enough to catch Wimpy’s when it is open and you see there is plenty of seating available, do not hesitate a second and give the restaurant a try. Wimpy’s is rumored to stick around for the rest of the summer, but nothing is guaranteed, so give it a shot while you still can!
Oh, where to begin.

First, let me say that my updates to the blog may be more challenging than I could have possibly imagined.The resort has no Wi-Fi.How a five star resort gets by without Wi-Fi is beyond me, but perhaps we’re just spoiled with that in America and the rest of the world is still using an abacus, I can’t be sure.But, when I went to the front desk and asked if there was an internet café in the area, or someplace that offered Wi-Fi, the young man behind the desk politely said “no”.Of course, I smiled – surely he was joking.But alas no, not only is there no Wi-Fi here at the hotel, according to the concierge (and I’m sorry, I find this impossible to believe) there is no Wi-Fi ANYWHERE IN PALM COVE!My first reaction was to scream “I CALL SHENANNIGANS” at the top of my lungs, but I figured that might both confuse and scare the locals.I’m pretty sure nowadays that even people living in mud huts in the Congo have Wi-Fi, but apparently not in Palm Cove.
Of course the hotel has internet- a wired connection located in the absolute most inconvenient space possible – on a shelf above the refrigerator.It’s not possible to be connected to the internet in this room AND type something on your computer simultaneously – it’s just plain bizarre.
I’ll do my best to keep the blog updated and hope that as the trip progresses I uncover someplace, somewhere that I can get a decent Wi-Fi connection.
It goes without saying that we’ve arrived safely.Our flight, while long, was without a doubt the most enjoyable flight I’ve ever had and for me to say that after going 14 hours without a cigarette is really saying something.It didn’t hurt that our premium economy seats on this flight were in business class, sowe had those nice ‘lay flat’ sleeper seats.Pure heaven.Here’s a tip for those of you considering a flight into Australia from the U.S.Apparently, the Qantas run from L.A. to Brisbane doesn’t have a premium economy class yet (they’re still in the process of re-fitting their planes).But, this particular route has become very competitive with other carriers (namely Virgin) turning up the heat on Qantas.Rather than not offer premium economy on this route and cede that business to their competition, for the time being they’re putting those who buy premium economy in business class seats.Keep in mind that you still get ‘premium economy service’, but who cares – it’s the seat that counts.How long this will go on I’m not sure, but it’s something to keep in mind.The price difference between premium economy and business class is about $5000 p/person round trip.

Customs and Immigration in Brisbane was a breeze – took all of about 30 minutes to get our bags and clear customs.Before we got off the plane, we were given a form to fill out for customs, and one of the questions asked if you were bringing more than 250 cigarettes into the country.In fact, I had three cartons (thank god because the price of cigarettes here is obscene).I debated lying on the form, but decided honesty was always the best policy – so I checked “yes” to the question.Upon going through customs, the agent informed me that normally a very heavy tax would be levied in a case like this, but because I was honest I got off with a warning.Lesson:Check customs restrictions before you leave (I didn’t) and don’t lie on your customs forms.
From Brisbane we took a domestic flight to Cairns – about 2 hours and while we were in coach and the plane was a standard 737, it was a pleasant flight and the flight crew was outstanding.Honestly, I can’t say enough good things about Qantas based on the first leg of our trip.
After arriving in Cairns, we got a taxi to Palm Cove where our hotel, the Sea Temple Resort and Spa, is located.Make no mistake – this is a GORGEOUS hotel. The service is impeccable and the location is truly inspired.The resort has a private beach that offers one of the most beautiful beach vistas I’ve ever seen.In fact, it reminds me a great deal of St. John in the Caribbean – peaceful beaches with mountain ranges out in the distance.Like I said, just plain gorgeous.
But, there are some unusual aspects to the resort (I’m using the word ‘unusual’ right now, because these differences may very well be cultural.Having never travelled overseas before, I’m not sure, so I’m being careful not to pre-judge).
The first thing I noticed was in our room.The rooms here are very nice – they are decorated with a very contemporary feel (in fact, in some ways the décor reminds me of Disney’s Contemporary) – with one very important exception.Notice the picture below.See that big bay window?That’s just on the other side of THE SHOWER.While the glass is frosted, it’s lightly frosted meaning that when you take a shower you are on display for anyone else in the room.

Have you ever been to Sea World?You know that underwater viewing area they have at Shamu stadium?This is what I imagine I look like taking a shower on the other side of the lightly frosted glass. “Look Mommy, Shamu is lathering himself up in his naughty places.”It’s just wrong – on every level, it’s just wrong.Bathrooms should not be part of public spectacle.Bathrooms should not have big bay windows – dining rooms should have big bay windows – not bathrooms.I’m making Walter leave the room when I take a shower – it’s just too much for me to handle.
Then there is the food.It’s weird.I don’t know how else to describe it.Those that have followed my exploits on the show know that I’m no neophyte when it comes to gourmet food.While I’m no expert, I like to think my palate is a bit more refined than most.But a quick look at the pool side lunch menu looks like a main course at Citrico’s.Items like “steamed black lip mussels, tomato sofrito and chorizo” ($18), duck spring rolls with Asian salad and nam jim ($14) and of course, grilled seafood cake with green papaya salad and lime ($18).Grilled seafood cake?Now granted, I hate seafood, but I can’t imagine anyone who likes it wanting it in cake form.I feel like asking “what’s wrong with a tuna fish sandwich”?It’s a poolside lunch menu for God’s sakes.I did ask if the chef could make me a cheeseburger – you would have thought I asked them to kill a child at noon in the lobby.However, being the good fat ugly American that I am, I’ve scoped out the nearest McDonalds and plan on making a pilgrimage to that Mecca of food very soon.Let’s hope they don’t have squid on their Big Mac’s.
Finally, there’s this tid-bit from the “Oh Jesus what the hell is that” file.While out in front enjoying a smoke, I saw this “welcome to Jurassic Park” looking insect.Heaven help me.Until next time…..
