rednose83 Posted June 22, 2014 #1 Share Posted June 22, 2014 I've been thinking about my BA cruise last month and realized that my favorite item from each place is not the main entree. Just curious to see what others fave items are. Here's mine: Moderno- Grilled Pineapple Cagney's- Baked Potato Soup La Cucina- Bread Basket Teppenyaki- Fried Rice Le Bistro- tried once, did not like So what's your favorite ONE item at each specialty?

LrgPizza Posted June 22, 2014 #2 Share Posted June 22, 2014 Great thread idea! This is tough to narrow it down to one item, and I bet most who reply will cheat. Here's mine: Moderno - Lamb Cagney's - Filet La Cucina - Nothing. I guess bread Teppanyaki - Fried rice Le Bistro - Mussels Here's mine: Moderno- Grilled Pineapple ...... Have you ever had grilled pineapple elsewhere? I ask because it was good, but it was pineapple that had been grilled. They did absolutely nothing else to it, so it was exactly the same as grilled pineapple anywhere else, including on my back deck. At least the Brazilian steakhouse near where I live glazes theirs with brown sugar. Moderno's was still wonderful, but only because all grilled pineapple is wonderful. I keep thinking that most people who rave about it probably have never eaten it before. So I'm testing that theory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rednose83 Posted June 22, 2014 Author #3 Share Posted June 22, 2014 I never had it anywhere else. But it was coated in brown sugar and cinnamon. I plan on making it at home for the 4th though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I had on the Getaway wasn't coated in anything! I even asked! That's so weird. Maybe they have a couple different versions. Bummer for me.

Bummer for me. Weird. I know if you get it at the end of the amount on the skewer, all the outside would already be cut off so it would be plain pineapple but the outside was covered in brown sugar and cinnamon-almost tasted like a doughnut :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderno - agree with you - the grilled pineapple! Cagney's - the crab cakes (before they took them away). Now - and this is totally crap food - but I like the mac and cheese LOL La Cucina - I'm Italian ... no can do this one LOL Maybe one day. Teppanyaki - fried rice! Le Bistro - the french onion soup.

The grilled pineapple we had on the Jewel a couple of weeks ago also had the brown sugar/cinnamon coating. YUM! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chiapet Posted June 22, 2014 #12 Share Posted June 22, 2014 Agree with the OP ... that ALL my favorites are at LE BISTRO too :p Onion Soup Escargot Lamb ... and so sad that the Souffle is NO longer available ... but that was also my favorite ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medicalma'am Posted June 22, 2014 #13 Share Posted June 22, 2014 If NCL is listening......I think it is kind of sad that the overwhelming favorite in Teppanyaki is the fried rice! Teppanyaki - shrimp and steak Moderno - the little cheese bread balls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quincella Posted June 22, 2014 #14 Share Posted June 22, 2014 Moderno - the lamb (pineapple is a close second) Cagney's - nothing really anymore. Used to be the lobster bisque Le Bistro - mushroom soup Wasabi - Godzilla roll Teppanyaki - nothing really special, but it's fine. La Cucina - osso bucco, and that polenta cake it comes with. Yum.

LrgPizza Posted June 22, 2014 #15 Share Posted June 22, 2014 If NCL is listening......I think it is kind of sad that the overwhelming favorite in Teppanyaki is the fried rice! I absolutely loved every single bite of everything I ate at Teppanyaki. Fried rice is a big part of the meal at Japanese steakhouses, so doing it well is important. This post required us to narrow it down to one thing. I see what you are saying though. I find it sad that the favorite thing at an all-you-can-eat meat place with a giant salad bar (Moderno) is pineapple, but to each his own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teppanyaki - shrimp and steak Moderno - the little cheese bread balls I like everything at Teppanyaki. We won't eat there anymore though. Last 2 times, the family got sick. Too much salt, or whatever they are putting in the food ... which is a shame because it all tastes so good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvfrogg Posted June 23, 2014 #19 Share Posted June 23, 2014 I never had it anywhere else. But it was coated in brown sugar and cinnamon. I plan on making it at home for the 4th though. At home I marinate my pineapple slices (1" thick) in a plastic bag with brown sugar, cinnamon and RUM! Then grill and they are fantastic. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
