Considering that the previous winners for this prestigious award went to, to name but a few: Sophie Fleischner of 25 Alston Avenue\u2019s  Gefilte Fish; Leo\u2019s Restaurant of Southbury\u2019s Eight is Enough Breakfast Special; and Y&S of Lancater\u2019s Twizzlers\u2026 one can truly appreciate the awesome attributes that the Crew\u2019s Cup\u2019s Prime Rib Sliders<\/strong> must possess.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes, friends tucked away in Disney World\u2019s Yacht Club Resort is the cozy panel-lined Crew\u2019s Cup watering hole. Sharing the kitchen with the Yachtsman Steakhouse (considered one of the best steak joints on property) the Crew\u2019s Cup delivers a concise range of pub grub alongside well crafted cocktails. The menu includes Steakhouse Wedge Salad, Lobster Bisque, Charcuterie & Cheese Board, Truffle Fries\u2026 and the headliner<\/em>:Prime Rib Sliders.  These beauties are a superb assemblage of sliced RB au jus, cheese, saut\u00e9ed onions, roasted red peppers and then nestled in a mini onion roll.  Two sliders are accompanied with horseradish sauce and a side of house made kettle chips.  Just writing these words down makes my hand tremble, my  head spin and my heart to race! Oh, cruel fate to be in Connecticut now!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The backfill story to the Sliders.  Legend has it that the kitchen guys of the Steakhouse at the end of the night took what remained of the prime rib of beef entr\u00e9es, sliced the RB thin and slapped the beef into the onion rolls that are part of the dinner bread service, and chowed down.  Well\u2026 winner, winner chicken dinner<\/em> (so to speak).  Whoever got the idea of adding these tasty delights to the bar menu at the Crew\u2019s Cup next door should get the Employee of the Year Award.  But hold the phone!  The word of these sensational sliders quickly spread, propelled by A.J. of the Disney Food Blog declaring to a tuned in audience that they were the best invention since the wheel!  It wasn\u2019t long before the restaurant had to order more and more prime rib, not for full dinner entr\u00e9es, but for a \u201cbar bite\u201d! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the preparation for the sliders began to monopolize the kitchen staff at the expense of preparing main dinners for the restaurant, it was time to yank the sliders off the Crew\u2019s Cup\u2019s menu.  A serious uproar ensued from the Disney faithful and after a year hiatus (or so) the Prime Rib Sliders were returned to where it belonged!  On the food pedestal of the Crew\u2019s Cup!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A brief post script.  Alan and Mollie of the Mammoth Club Blog & YouTube channel took to reviewing WDW\u2019s Lounges and the Crew\u2019s Cup took First Place driven in part by the exceptional sliders and the craft cocktails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
