The Fry Bread stand has now been rebranded as the Chick-n-Waffle Cone Company.

Interesting. I guess the Fry Bread wasn't that popular?

I can't see the Chick-n-Waffle being a lot better, lol.

We love the Cashew chicken waffle cones.  Very good!

I really liked the cashew chicken waffle cone last year. To the point I was craving them. This year's version wasn't good in my opinion. It wasn't sweet like the year's before (kind of the way cashew chicken is at the oriental restaurant), this year's was in a brown gravy and wasn't something I'll eat again. Bring back the stuff from 2020....

That seems out of left field, but now that I think about it I haven't tried the fry bread in years. Now I want some, lol. It wasn't bad, but I don't remember it jumping out and grabbing me as something I needed to have when I visited.

Are you sure you didn't have the sweet & sour pork? Cashew chicken isn't sweet and is brown gravy. We love the cashew chicken waffle cones. I am curious to see if they are back to making the cones or if they are using the pre-made ones like they did toward the end of Pumpkins in the City. The ones that they make are way better.

Nope, I'm pretty sure I remember it well.... It wasn't brown gravy last year. This year's version didn't impress at all, was hard to choke down. The 2021 version was very good, I was so looking forward to eating it again...but didn't even finish it at our last visit

Here's some recipes for cashew chicken, even the pioneer woman's recipe is sweet and doesn't contain brown gravy:

That's not the same kind of cashew chicken. They do the Springfield Style Cashew Chicken that is more of a brown gravy.

When they first started doing them they even talked about how it was taking the local cashew chicken and presenting it in a new way.

You learn something new everyday, but that one is nasty....not going to eat that again. Which just means for those that like it, I won't be taking any away from them. I swear though what I had in 2020 was sweet compared to this year....but my kids have been threatening to put me in a nursing home so there is that....

Just a note, saloon show is NOT in the saloon this year.  The Fa-la-la Follies is actually in the Riverfront Playhouse instead.

I noticed in the photos from Coaster Christmas they used the Saloon as a breakfast area for attendees. Nice to see the inside again after so long. Let's hope they use it again in 2022.
