Celebrating 90 Years!
Mrs. Knott’s Chicken Dinner Restaurant first opened in 1934 with Mrs. Knott and her children serving the first customers in their tea room. The restaurant has grown over the years into one of the largest in California, but the classic fried chicken dinner is still made the same way today using Mrs. Knott's recipes. As this year marks its 90th anniversary, we are celebrating the legacy of this beloved establishment through a wide range of offerings all year long.

Tucked away in a quaint corner of Fantasyland, this fairytale eatery straight out of the enchanted countryside in Beauty and the Beast offers casual French cuisine. Serving  breakfast, lunch or dinner. You can enjoy magnifique quick-service meals that transport you to Belle’s provincial village.

Tame your inner beast with a juicy burger served with a side of potato bites or mandarin oranges or indulge in an artisanal pepperoni flatbread. Then, toast your good fortune with specialty beverages to match the season.

Veggie lovers looking for a healthy alternative can dig into the Salade du Jardin, Petales de Pepperoni Flatbread or the Candelabra's Flaming Burger. And little ones can quell rumbling tummies with a kid-friendly burger or chicken tenders.

There will be so many elegant yet subtle details throughout the restaurant that offer fun hints at Tiana’s rich past in New Orleans.

You will be surrounded by the colors of Mardi Gras as you sit at yellow tabletops, on warm vanilla-colored chairs with green seats, in the shade of yellow and green umbrellas. 

Disney Imagineers also took inspiration from the film for the interior of the restaurant, which includes a large mural of the bayou. You will also see other references to Tiana’s story – lilies represented on numerous signs, plaques and light fixtures, frog porcelains, cookbooks Tiana has collected on little shelves, and her father’s favorite gumbo spoon proudly on display. You’ll also want to keep an eye out for the letters from her father and neighbors on display, alongside a childhood photo of Tiana.

A childhood favorite of mine from the mid-1970s

INGREDIENTS
    1 egg
    1 3/4 cups plus 2 tablespoons water
    1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
    1/4 teaspoon salt
    1 teaspoon baking powder
    8 slices egg bread (challah works well), sliced 1/2-inch thick
    8 thin slices ham
    8 thin slices turkey
    8 thin slices Swiss cheese
    3 cups canola oil
    Confectioners sugar
    Blackberry preserves

DIRECTIONS
Line a cookie sheet with paper towels; set aside.  Whisk the egg and water together in a mixing bowl. Add flour, salt, and baking powder and whisk thoroughly for 2 to 3 minutes or until smooth, scraping sides of bowl.
   
On one slice of bread, arrange 2 slices of ham, turkey, and cheese, covering the bread evenly. Place another slice of bread on top and slice each sandwich in half diagonally.
   
Heat oil to between 365 degrees F and 375 degrees F in a 10-inch pan. Do not let the oil reach a higher temperature than this; if the oil starts to smoke, turn the heat down.
   
Dip half of the sandwich into the batter, allowing excess to drain, and very carefully place into the oil.
   
Repeat with the other sandwich half.
   
Cook 3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
   
Place the cooked sandwich on the prepared cookie sheet in a warm oven until ready to serve.
   
Repeat with the other three sandwiches.

**Note**
Cook one at a time, and allow the oil to reach the desired temperature between each.
Sprinkle with confectioner’s sugar and serve with blackberry preserves on the side.
