Recently, I visited Hollywood Studios on my own and managed to grab a last-minute reservation at the Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater Restaurant.
I’ve long been a sucker for this place. I love the entire vibe of the convertible-car tables located in a 1950s drive in, with amusing movie and news clips from the period running on the big screen.
Over the years, however, the food has been uneven – sometimes boffo and other times disappointing.
I asked what the Feature Film Burger was that night, and the waitress’s pitch on a pastrami-topped burger won me over. And I’m glad ordered it.
The burger, which came on a brioche bun, was topped with pepper jack cheese, a mustard sauce and thinly sliced pastrami. This Feature Film Burger was excellent. The bun was soft and the sauce rather tasty. But the key was the balance between the pastrami and the burger. Neither was lost or overpowering. They simply complemented each other neatly, with my tastebuds enjoying the mix in each bite.
It was a pleasant evening – enjoying my favorite Walt Disney World park at one of my most-liked restaurants thanks, in part, to a darn good burger.
In fact, I’m getting a little hungry writing about this burger right now. I wonder if I can grab a convertible at Sci-Fi right now…?
