Disneyland: Bengal Barbecue for a Low Carb Option

Summer is just around the corner now and that means vacations. Destination hot spots and extreme tourist attractions fill our trips and often along with those exciting locations comes food that are deep fried in flour or wrapped in carbs. I live in southern Californian and am surrounded by places like Legoland, Universal Studios, and Disneyland.

My wife and I have annual passes to Disneyland. Its a cheap date night and a fun way to get out of the house. We enjoy the rides, the shows, and the great people watching that occurs when we go. The hard part about going to Disneyland is that there is food everywhere. Main Street smells of waffle cones and vanilla, Nachos and corndogs are around every corner, and the Chimicangas are the size of your fist. So the question is, when we go and need a quick bite to eat, what does a low carb eater like myself get at Disneyland?

Near the Indiana Jones ride in Adventureland there is a great little stand called The Bengal Barbeque. Its a little hut that serves up inexpensive skewers of different foods. Each skewer ranges from $3.49-$3.79 in price, which seems like a lot at first, but remember its Disneyland. That price is a real steal in comparison to some of the fifteen dollar lunches you might get elsewhere in the park. The Bengal Barbeque has several skewers there that are great to go with including (asparagus wrapped in bacon skewers) but I usually stick with the following:

Two skewers should control your appetite pretty well. Be careful though because they can use a lot of the sauce and I have no doubt that there is some carbs in them. If you are just starting Atkins you may want to have them put the sauce on the side. Then again, your on vacation, so enjoy your sauce, its better than one of those carmeled apples or churros you will pass over and over again.

Bangal BBQ is amazing! Among the bountiful temptations this place doesn't make me want to run laps around the park because I'm so full! This place is underestimated, but finger lickin good!!

Your absolutely right Red. Nice to find a place in the park to eat that doesn't break the bank too. :)
