Cooking Up the Magic: Cap’n Jack’s Clam Dip

Originally published at Disney Parks News

As we continue to gear up for “The World’s Most Magical Celebration” in honor of the 50^th Anniversary at Walt Disney World Resort, we are celebrating all of the things that make Walt Disney World special. And what’s more wonderful than the food at Walt Disney World?!

This fall, you’ll be able to join in on the merriment of the 50^th Anniversary from your own home with the cookbook “Delicious Disney: Recipes & Stories from the Most Magical Place on Earth.” The cookbook, written by Pam Brandon, Marcy Carriker Smothers, and The Disney Chefs, will allow you to create culinary delights from Walt Disney World past and present right in your own kitchen!

Today we’re giving you a sneak peek at one of those recipes from one of my favorite restaurants (I really do miss it!), Cap’n Jack’s Restaurant, which offered amazing seafood and beautiful waterfront dining at Disney Springs until 2013.

No meal at Cap’n Jack’s would’ve been complete without sampling from the oyster bar, particularly his signature dish – Cap’n Jack’s Clam Dip. “Delicious Disney” went into his captain’s log and shared the delicious recipe with us. Enjoy!
