Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey, it's Neil Sevadra.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
You're listening to kfi EM six forty the four Report
on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (00:09):
Happy Saturday to you.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
The son's trying to push out a little gloomy still
and having that. You know, you wake up to the
wet streets and stuff like that, and you're like, we
did it rain, Wow, little sprinkles here and there, but
we're still finding our way into fall. Today is our
launch into Halloween with my special guests.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
We decided to.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
Do a panel breaking things up a little bit on
the show with Ernie Alonzo from hauntedoc dot com, where
you can find out We were just talking about the
Bowers Museum and those things that all of those tours
they're in Orange County. You can find out by going
to hauntedoc dot com. Dusty Sage, CEO of mice chat
dot com, and Julie Tremaine, journalist and cookbook author her
(00:54):
cookbook Disney Villain's Devilishly Delicious Cookbook.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
Be careful with your tongue on that one.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
It's a bit of a twist, all right to mister
Dusty Sage, you handsome devil, you you are doing the
tours there at the Disney Mansion and you're doing something
special for Halloween.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
Tell us about that us, right? So what brings all
of us together? Because Ernie runs the Haunted Tour company,
the largest in America. Julie is this incredible cookbook author
who has the villains food and I do these scary
candlelight ghost tours of Walt Disney's mansion this time of year,
and we've decided to bring it all together for Halloween
(01:36):
Night in an extraordinary four hour event with cocktails on
the back patio with panoramic views of Los Angeles and
entertainment in Walt Disney's living room where so many famous
celebrities were entertained by the Disneys, and now people will
be entertained with music and perhaps some dancing and magic
(01:56):
with a magician, and there'll be a screening in Walt
Disney's private house inside the mansion, and then a candlelight
ghost tour, some more's little surprises throughout the evening. Julie
will be the merry murderous of the mansion for the
night with her cocktails and appetizer sized versions of the
(02:17):
food from her cookbook. And then there is a special
gift bag for everyone at the end of the night,
inspired by the things that they experienced throughout the evening.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
Holy hell, I'm sold, right, So how do people be
a part of that? This is only now, although there
will be the candlelight tours and I highly highly recommend
that I did that last year and met a couple
of couples that were KFI listeners that were on the
tour as well. It's fantastic. But this is only one night, right,
(02:47):
one night, only twenty guests.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
Well, I'm sorry, thirty guests, but there are ten VIP
tickets available with an extra hour and a special signed
gift from Bob Gerr, and then twenty additional spots for
anyone to join us. The main event runs from eight
pm until midnight, and you can find the tickets on
haunted oc dot com.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
Holy hell, that sounds magnificent.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
I love that you're still finding new ways, Ernie to bring,
you know, life to this sacred Disney place. I mean,
it's beautiful. That's just a really really cool way to
celebrate it.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
Oh no, it's amazing.
Speaker 4 (03:29):
It's an amazing place and we're so fortunate to be
able to do tours there and Dusty's like the perfect
person to conduct the tours. He also does daytime tours
as well.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
I do. So the mansion has a face page for
everyone for all year long. But you can visit Facebook
dot com slash Disney Mansion No Spaces and you will
see a page with all the tours and events at
the house. We occasionally have celebrities up. We do history
tours by day and then during the seasons or whenever
Ernie thinks there might be haunted candlelight ghost tours in
(04:02):
the evening. So the daytime tours are available through our
Facebook page and the evening things through Haunted OC.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
And so great that this is in partnership with the owner,
the new owner of the mansion, and that he trusts
you guys, knows the reverence you.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
Have for the space.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
Well. He has spent so much effort to make this
house feel like a little bit of a museum to
Walt Disney, that it's special to him that people get
to experience it. So we're lucky when he allows us
to come in and do some special things. And I
manage the mansion all the time, so I get to
help make sure that it's filled with beautiful artwork of
the era and the right furniture, and that the correct
(04:43):
stories are told.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
Without any spoilers. Obviously, we want people to experience it.
You walk into the mansion and off to the right
is the room I'm assuming you're going to be entertaining in,
and so.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
Directly in front is this soaring ceilinged living room that
looks like an hotel lobby out of an old creepy
hotel from Hollywood Boulevard. But it wouldn't have been creepy
in the thirties when the Disney's built the house, but
by today's standards, it looks like the Twilight Zone Tower
of Terror in there. It's pretty incredible. And that's where
(05:19):
the piano is and a lot of the entertainment.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
Yeah, and it was really back then. The houses were
built for entertainment, right you kind of, especially in la
you had to have a space for people to gather around,
maybe the fireplace or some central place in a bar
and all these things.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
That's right. It was the height of the cocktail era.
So instead of sitting around at boring dinner table and
talking to the people next to you, they had these
wonderful cocktail receptions where everyone dressed to the nines and
there was entertainment and cocktails and smoking, you know, all
the things they did back then, and you could wander
around and it was about storytelling and it just incredible.
(05:57):
And we will kind of recreate that feeling on Halloween night.
And the art is stunning, stunning, just filled with beautiful
Disney artwork of that here originals. Right, if you are
yes and if you're a horror movie director and a
Disney fan, what is the intersection of those two things?
Disney Villains And that's where our Julie Tremain comes in
(06:17):
with her villain inspired food and beverages.
Speaker 5 (06:20):
There are lots of pieces of art, Disney Villain art
in the house that are absolutely stunning. Every time I
get to go, I just stand there and stare at them.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
It's spectacular.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
Julie Tremaine her book, Disney Villain's Devilishly Delicious Cookbooks.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
So you've got going through.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
The contents here, main courses, cakes and pies, cookies and sweets,
drinks and all of these things as well as salads
and sides, breakfast, appetizers and like. So you've been on
tour there, you've been to the mansion. So how are
you working with Dusty? Did you just walk through and
(06:58):
just say, let me kind of at the vibe, and
then you pick the menu or how did you put
together what you wanted to serve for the special one
night fair.
Speaker 5 (07:06):
The house is so elegant, and I think we're making
it sound very scary, but it really is like a
fairy tale. It's very beautiful.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
So it's a strange combination.
Speaker 5 (07:16):
It's it's creepy at night, you can you know, I
get goosebumps every time I go because it's such a
special place. You just you walk up to the front
and it looks like snow White's cottage, which it existed
ten years before the Snowy movie existed, So clearly the
house inspired the movie.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
But it's it really does look like a fairy tale.
Speaker 5 (07:31):
It's very beautiful, but you walk in and it's just
incredibly elegant, a really wonderful example of la storybook architecture.
So what I really wanted, you know, a lot of
the food in the Villain's cookbook is food that you
can make at home, and food that might be easy
for kids and parents to collaborate on. There's nothing that's
very very technical in the book, So I really wanted
(07:52):
to elevate that a little bit into you know, what
is what is a tablescape that fits this absolutely stunning
cent you a year old home, and what is fitting
of this very elegant Halloween evening. But keeping in mind,
I mean Walt was a pretty plain eating kind of guy.
Oh yeah, we would not appreciate the food that I
(08:13):
plan on serving the dinner, meat and potatoes kind of guy.
Chili a protein, only one vegetable per per meal. He
was very strict about that, and it was always like,
you know, jello, jello was allowed.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
There's always room for jello exactly. Yeah. They you know,
we've had the folks from.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
Uh tam O'shantern's on too with the table with Disney
table and the chili talk and all those things. Are
we come back, we'll talk a little bit about are
there going to be cocktails there? Yes, Okay, we'll talk
about that when we come back. Stick around our Halloween
panel today Ernie Alonzo, Dusty Sage, and Julie Tremaine as
we talk about Southern California haunts, food and beyond.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
So go nowhere.
Speaker 6 (09:00):

CEO of mice chat dot com for all your Disney
(10:13):
knowledge and more. He also does tours at the Disney
Mansion we've been talking about in the Hollywood Hills. Slash
lospheelis Julie Tremaine, cookbook author, Extraordinary journalist for SFGate dot
com and also the author of Disney Villain's Devilishly Delicious cookbook.
(10:36):
They are partnering for a one day event. Even though
they will continue to do daytime tours and the candlelight
tours at the Disney Mansion, this one night is win.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
What's the date again?
Speaker 3 (10:47):
It's on Halloween nights, so that's right, which is on
a Friday night? This year's is the perfect time to
join us up at Walt Disney's storybook mansion in the
Hollywood Hills.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
So we talked a little bit about the food. I mean,
imagine having a cocktail party in the Disney Mansion, so
of course there'll be wine, champagne. Did you put together
a special cocktail for the night?
Speaker 5 (11:14):
I did put together a signature cocktail. It may be
inspired by a certain potion that turns a certain evil
queen into an old woman who feeds snow white a
poison apple. So I was inspired by the evil queen
when she's you know, she's in her dungeon, growing all
her potions, and then she she drinks one that turns
(11:34):
her into that the crone that gives snow at the
poison apple, and then you know, puts her to sleep.
So I this it's a it's a book cocktail in
the book mocktail in the book called the Peddler's Disguise.
But for a spirited evening, we'll be adding some spirits
to that.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
I'm all in Dussi's all.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
We're going to lean on it. Don't worry about it.
That your mother take too. That's awesome. Now what about
you know? Again, don't want to give you any spoilers,
but there's a bar in the house, two of them. Yeah,
even though it was prohibition prohibition, but what.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
Was you know? You see? I love how when you.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
Ask people about Walt Disney they always respond with he
was a man of his times.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
So we are all.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
Product of our time, right. But so to have a
cigarette and a drink in your hand in the afternoon
was not abnormal in those days.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
So what was his drink?
Speaker 3 (12:29):
Walt liked a Scotch missed and I frequently tell people
during the tours what his recipe was. And it's easy
to remember, because you put into a beautiful leaded crystal
glass crushed ice, and on top of that, you poor
Scotch ladies and gentlemen, a Scotch, miss, It is just
(12:49):
Scotch on the rocks, but with crushed ice, with a.
Speaker 5 (12:52):
Twist of lemon, forget a twist, but not enough to
change the alcohol content.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
Yea, not to mention. Technically, that's not a cocktail. You
have to have three ingredients.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
You have to have the three the three points of
a cocktail, your bidders and your booze and your Yeah.
So even with the garnish, it's not a cocktail. That's
that's just a that's a shot. That's a big old
hairy shot.
Speaker 3 (13:20):
You know what's great about this story is that Walt's
dad was a teetotaler. He was in the temperance movement
to prevent people from drinking alcohol. He even ran a
jelly and soda company called Ozel o dash Z E
l L. And if you want to keep people from
drinking hard liquor, you offer them soft drinks. And that's
(13:40):
where the term soft drink comes from. I did not
know that that's true, and ozel Soda went defunked. Many
years ago, but I was able to help bring it
back to life, and today you can buy an Ozel
soda and any Rocket Fizz store across America, and one
hundred percent of the proceeds go back to save and
restore Walt Disney's historic birth place in Chicago, Illinois, a
(14:02):
project that I put on the map many years ago.
So it's just something I'm proud of having done. And
it ties into the fact that Walt was a drinker
and his dad wasn't and Walt built two bars in
his house that Elias couldn't have been happy about.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
That That is crazy. I love that story so much.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
If you're quiet, you can actually hear your friendly neighborhood
Fork reporter learning something live on the air.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
That last brain cell is really struggling.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
We're gonna blow right.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
We will be back more as we talk all things spooky,
Halloween and edible on the Fork Report.
Speaker 6 (14:39):
You're listening to The Fork Report with Nil Savedra on
demand from KFI Am six forty.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
Hey, everybody, Neil Savedra, your friendly neighborhood Fork Reporter, and
the Fork Report.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
Today. What a great day to talk food and Halloween.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
This is it, man, This is the top of the
slide that we It goes so fast to the end
of the year, so I want to savor every little
ounce of it and just enjoy Halloween and Fall, going
into thanks Giving and wonderful food and then of course
(15:16):
Christmas and all of that into the new year. So
we are starting that out with our first panel. Our
panel today is Ernie Alonso from hauntedoc dot com, Dusty Sage,
CEO of mice chat dot com, all Things Disney and
also a tour guide of fabulous tour guide at the
Walt Disney Mansion in the Hollywood Hills slash a Los Felis.
(15:40):
Julie Tremaine, a journalist and cookbook author for Disney Villains,
is the book we've been talking about, Disney Villains Devilishly
Delicious Cookbook. I mean, you know, poison apples for cookies
and sweets. Of course you're going to go there, but
all of these wonderful dishes, main courses, cakes and pies,
(16:02):
drinks and of course salads and sides, breakfasts and appetizers.
I the minute we started talking about it, went to
Amazon and bought a hardcover copy.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
You want the hard cover copy.
Speaker 3 (16:17):
I actually didn't know.
Speaker 5 (16:19):
I was visiting Disneyland Paris and I just walked into
the gift shop of the Tower of Terror and there
was a cookbook with the Disney Villain's Cookbook in French
and I was like, oh, that looks familiar. And I
opened it up and it was my cookbook in French.
And I didn't know Disney license it in.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
A French version. Yeah, why not, right, I definitely bought one. Yeah,
how cool is that?
Speaker 3 (16:40):
It's very cool? Now you just need to learn French,
she saw.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
I think this is right.
Speaker 5 (16:44):
Yeah, it was like, no, these are definitely my recipes.
And then I flipped to the page and I was like,
ooh that is my name. Yes, in fact, I did.
I wrote this book. It's a different language.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
That is super cool. That is like, you know, when
you see the old Star Wars posters for or China
or Japan or something, You're like, I don't know what
it says, but it's so beautiful.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
I want that.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
But having it in your you know, knowing that you
don't speak that language, and it's been translated as pretty spectacular. Okay,
So we've been talking about tours you can go on
and you can find out all the dates and ticket
prices and all of that at haunted oc dot com.
Hauntedoc dot com and you can find out about the
(17:28):
Halloween night festivities, the one night cocktail party and the
like at Disney's Mansion in Los Felis slash Hollywood Hills.
That is a spectacular, once in a lifetime I think
just the tour is. I was blown away, and we
talk about the spooky aspects and it's candlelight, but really
(17:53):
it's everything. It's what Julie was saying too. You see
the architecture, the time period, you feel all those vibes.
You can hear the kids running through there in your head,
the Disney's children and playing around, and the stories and
the Christmas morning and the art and the story. It's
all of those things, but at night with the candle light,
(18:14):
it just gives it an actual It's the.
Speaker 3 (18:16):
Ghosts of the past. You find yourself walking through history
and the hair on your arms goes up because you
just know where you are and that's what makes it
truly spectacular. And then you do it by candlelight and
tell a few additional stories from Low Spielis and the area,
and it adds an area of creepiness to it. But
(18:38):
I like to call it the History and Mystery of
Walt Disney Storybook Mansion because we do start with the
Walt Disney history and then drift off into these other
stories upstairs for the scary tours. So it's it's pretty extraordinary.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
Yeah, it's not like you know, a headless goofy starts
stumbling out of a closets.
Speaker 3 (18:56):
So it's really they're real. So these aren't I'm not
trying to scare anyone. I am terrifying to look at,
but I'm not trying to scare anyone. But all the
stories come straight from the history books and the newspapers,
and they're the tales and legends of Los Angeles and
Los Felis that happened in and around the house. No,
(19:18):
you can find the love in the charm and the
way you tell the stories is really great. And I've
talked with Party many times about you know, the stuff
going on there, and it's just a it's just a
neat place and to have somebody that is doing it,
you know, not for a quick buck, but you can
(19:39):
tell the passion and love for every nook and cranny. Yeah, yeah,
it's everybody that needs to come out and see it
at least once, and if you're too afraid to go
at night, come during the day. This coming weekend and
the weekend after we are doing daytime history tours, and
then in the evening if you want a little bit more.
Ernie is selling candlelight Ghoes tour tickets for those Saturday
(20:01):
nights as well. We're even adding a rare Sunday day
of tours because they've been they've all been sold out,
so we're trying to get as many people in as
we can and as long as I can put the
owner up in a fancy hotel nearby. He's happy to
let us have the house for the day.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
Is he living in there full time? He has multiple homes.
I don't know why.
Speaker 3 (20:22):
You know, when you're a horror movie director, you live
wherever you want to live, whatever's creepiest. But yeah, he's
letting me during the Halloween season use the house in
an awful lot of days.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
Okay, movie pitch you guys ready, I'm ready, you want in,
you want in on the ground floor. There's a tour guide.
It does haunted tours. Yeah, doesn't believe. He just tells
the stories. Okay, deep voice. Interesting look. Does he have
(20:53):
a beard yes, and a great head of hair, impeccable
riz okay in charms, everybody waves, shakes hands at the
end of the night, and as he shuts the door,
rolls his eyes take off the guar or whatever until
(21:14):
the house finally shows itself to it.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
Oh my gosh, come on, now, make it happen.
Speaker 3 (21:21):
I'm in, I'm in.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
It's the name Dusty's Run.
Speaker 3 (21:28):
Basically did happen to you right on multiple occasions. But
if you're a movie maker out there, please get in
touch on ready.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
On the ground floor. No less, that's what you gotta do.
You get to be the producer.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
I love it.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
Yeah, I'll just watch it. I don't care. Anybody gonna
ideas are you know nothing? Just make it happen so
I can watch it. Julian E Books on the Horizon.
Speaker 5 (21:52):
I have a book that is coming out next year.
I'm working on it right now that I am so
so excited to talk about. It's called the Unofficial Park's
Retro Cookbook, and it is a cookbook that recreates recipes
from restaurants at Disneyland and Walt Disney World that don't
exist anymore.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
Oh, I love it.
Speaker 5 (22:09):
So it opening day restaurants that you would have walked
down Main Street and seen Sunkiss Citrus House. We looked
at menus might collaborator Carl Karamane and I looked at
these menus from these places. The recipes don't exist, so
we were like, Okay, what do we do? How do
we bring this to life? So we did lots and
lots of research. So the book is histories of each
(22:31):
of these places and then recipes that we to the
best of our knowledge, are best versions of recreations of
those recipes, and a lot of them. We talked to
managers of the restaurants and a lot of them we
were able to find approximations from people who had tried them.
You know, but food, these foods haven't been served for
almost seventy years, so it was a really fun piecing
(22:55):
it together research mystery.
Speaker 3 (22:57):
It is very delicious.
Speaker 5 (22:59):
And I served shrimp I did from the Galactic Star Cruiser,
which is.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
A blue shrimp. They can't even sell their blue milk.
Speaker 3 (23:07):
Right, supposed to have gone out one night and she says, Oh,
I'm so sorry, but I'm busy dying shrimp.
Speaker 5 (23:12):
I'm so sorry. I have to cook ten courses for you.
I know you really suffered from that.
Speaker 3 (23:16):
Last night. I came over in eight said blue Shrimp.
They were delicious.
Speaker 5 (23:21):
So that Star Wars hotel that only lasted a year
was called the Galactic star Cruiser. And the thing that
everyone talked about was the ice pollution shrimp cocktail, which
was it was just blue shrimp cocktail. So I since
that one doesn't exist anymore, that's it does. We do
have open day Disneyland restaurants, but we do have things
that just closed, like that Pizza Rizzo and the Muppet
(23:42):
short iRED Hollywood Studios, so it really.
Speaker 3 (23:45):
Is very up to date.
Speaker 5 (23:46):
We we included restaurants that really just closed this year,
so the Blue Shrimp was one of them.
Speaker 3 (23:51):
And you know what, you really liked it. It was
so good we were mad about and multiple different kinds
of ribs because you were trying to figure out which
version was the most like the original.
Speaker 5 (23:58):
And I have to try the Don def Silver Banjo
only existed in the late fifties for years.
Speaker 3 (24:05):
Knowing you is a dream come true.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
Now, I know what everyone says that actually saw I
have that on my business card.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
I will tell you that people hit me up all
the time, going can I be a guest taster on
the show, because a lot of times we have food
coming in here. I've never known what that felt like
until today. I'm like, can I be a guest taster
on your show?
Speaker 3 (24:26):
That sounds like do the party about all the food?
You bring your favorite foods, and were going to do
a party with Neil.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
I would love that.
Speaker 5 (24:34):
This is a surprise that I haven't even told you yet,
but I'm planning on previewing some of the recipes from
this upcoming Disneyland cookbook at the Mansion on Halloween.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
I would be thrilled to partner with all three of
you on anything that we can do together, either in
Orange County or LA. But that's very, very, very fun.

Happy Saturday to you.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
The son's trying to push out a little gloomy still
and having that. You know, you wake up to the
wet streets and stuff like that, and you're like, we
did it rain, Wow, little sprinkles here and there, but
we're still finding our way into fall. Today is our
launch into Halloween with my special guests.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
We decided to.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
Do a panel breaking things up a little bit on
the show with Ernie Alonzo from hauntedoc dot com, where
you can find out We were just talking about the
Bowers Museum and those things that all of those tours
they're in Orange County. You can find out by going
to hauntedoc dot com. Dusty Sage, CEO of mice chat
dot com, and Julie Tremaine, journalist and cookbook author her
(00:54):
cookbook Disney Villain's Devilishly Delicious Cookbook.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
Be careful with your tongue on that one.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
It's a bit of a twist, all right to mister
Dusty Sage, you handsome devil, you you are doing the
tours there at the Disney Mansion and you're doing something
special for Halloween.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
Tell us about that us, right? So what brings all
of us together? Because Ernie runs the Haunted Tour company,
the largest in America. Julie is this incredible cookbook author
who has the villains food and I do these scary
candlelight ghost tours of Walt Disney's mansion this time of year,
and we've decided to bring it all together for Halloween
(01:36):
Night in an extraordinary four hour event with cocktails on
the back patio with panoramic views of Los Angeles and
entertainment in Walt Disney's living room where so many famous
celebrities were entertained by the Disneys, and now people will
be entertained with music and perhaps some dancing and magic
(01:56):
with a magician, and there'll be a screening in Walt
Disney's private house inside the mansion, and then a candlelight
ghost tour, some more's little surprises throughout the evening. Julie
will be the merry murderous of the mansion for the
night with her cocktails and appetizer sized versions of the
(02:17):
food from her cookbook. And then there is a special
gift bag for everyone at the end of the night,
inspired by the things that they experienced throughout the evening.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
Holy hell, I'm sold, right, So how do people be
a part of that? This is only now, although there
will be the candlelight tours and I highly highly recommend
that I did that last year and met a couple
of couples that were KFI listeners that were on the
tour as well. It's fantastic. But this is only one night, right,
(02:47):
one night, only twenty guests.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
Well, I'm sorry, thirty guests, but there are ten VIP
tickets available with an extra hour and a special signed
gift from Bob Gerr, and then twenty additional spots for
anyone to join us. The main event runs from eight
pm until midnight, and you can find the tickets on
haunted oc dot com.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
Holy hell, that sounds magnificent.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
I love that you're still finding new ways, Ernie to bring,
you know, life to this sacred Disney place. I mean,
it's beautiful. That's just a really really cool way to
celebrate it.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
Oh no, it's amazing.
Speaker 4 (03:29):
It's an amazing place and we're so fortunate to be
able to do tours there and Dusty's like the perfect
person to conduct the tours. He also does daytime tours
as well.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
I do. So the mansion has a face page for
everyone for all year long. But you can visit Facebook
dot com slash Disney Mansion No Spaces and you will
see a page with all the tours and events at
the house. We occasionally have celebrities up. We do history
tours by day and then during the seasons or whenever
Ernie thinks there might be haunted candlelight ghost tours in
(04:02):
the evening. So the daytime tours are available through our
Facebook page and the evening things through Haunted OC.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
And so great that this is in partnership with the owner,
the new owner of the mansion, and that he trusts
you guys, knows the reverence you.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
Have for the space.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
Well. He has spent so much effort to make this
house feel like a little bit of a museum to
Walt Disney, that it's special to him that people get
to experience it. So we're lucky when he allows us
to come in and do some special things. And I
manage the mansion all the time, so I get to
help make sure that it's filled with beautiful artwork of
the era and the right furniture, and that the correct
(04:43):
stories are told.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
Without any spoilers. Obviously, we want people to experience it.
You walk into the mansion and off to the right
is the room I'm assuming you're going to be entertaining in,
and so.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
Directly in front is this soaring ceilinged living room that
looks like an hotel lobby out of an old creepy
hotel from Hollywood Boulevard. But it wouldn't have been creepy
in the thirties when the Disney's built the house, but
by today's standards, it looks like the Twilight Zone Tower
of Terror in there. It's pretty incredible. And that's where
(05:19):
the piano is and a lot of the entertainment.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
Yeah, and it was really back then. The houses were
built for entertainment, right you kind of, especially in la
you had to have a space for people to gather around,
maybe the fireplace or some central place in a bar
and all these things.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
That's right. It was the height of the cocktail era.
So instead of sitting around at boring dinner table and
talking to the people next to you, they had these
wonderful cocktail receptions where everyone dressed to the nines and
there was entertainment and cocktails and smoking, you know, all
the things they did back then, and you could wander
around and it was about storytelling and it just incredible.
(05:57):
And we will kind of recreate that feeling on Halloween night.
And the art is stunning, stunning, just filled with beautiful
Disney artwork of that here originals. Right, if you are
yes and if you're a horror movie director and a
Disney fan, what is the intersection of those two things?
Disney Villains And that's where our Julie Tremain comes in
(06:17):
with her villain inspired food and beverages.
Speaker 5 (06:20):
There are lots of pieces of art, Disney Villain art
in the house that are absolutely stunning. Every time I
get to go, I just stand there and stare at them.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
It's spectacular.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
Julie Tremaine her book, Disney Villain's Devilishly Delicious Cookbooks.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
So you've got going through.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
The contents here, main courses, cakes and pies, cookies and sweets,
drinks and all of these things as well as salads
and sides, breakfast, appetizers and like. So you've been on
tour there, you've been to the mansion. So how are
you working with Dusty? Did you just walk through and
(06:58):
just say, let me kind of at the vibe, and
then you pick the menu or how did you put
together what you wanted to serve for the special one
night fair.
Speaker 5 (07:06):
The house is so elegant, and I think we're making
it sound very scary, but it really is like a
fairy tale. It's very beautiful.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
So it's a strange combination.
Speaker 5 (07:16):
It's it's creepy at night, you can you know, I
get goosebumps every time I go because it's such a
special place. You just you walk up to the front
and it looks like snow White's cottage, which it existed
ten years before the Snowy movie existed, So clearly the
house inspired the movie.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
But it's it really does look like a fairy tale.
Speaker 5 (07:31):
It's very beautiful, but you walk in and it's just
incredibly elegant, a really wonderful example of la storybook architecture.
So what I really wanted, you know, a lot of
the food in the Villain's cookbook is food that you
can make at home, and food that might be easy
for kids and parents to collaborate on. There's nothing that's
very very technical in the book, So I really wanted
(07:52):
to elevate that a little bit into you know, what
is what is a tablescape that fits this absolutely stunning
cent you a year old home, and what is fitting
of this very elegant Halloween evening. But keeping in mind,
I mean Walt was a pretty plain eating kind of guy.
Oh yeah, we would not appreciate the food that I
(08:13):
plan on serving the dinner, meat and potatoes kind of guy.
Chili a protein, only one vegetable per per meal. He
was very strict about that, and it was always like,
you know, jello, jello was allowed.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
There's always room for jello exactly. Yeah. They you know,
we've had the folks from.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
Uh tam O'shantern's on too with the table with Disney
table and the chili talk and all those things. Are
we come back, we'll talk a little bit about are
there going to be cocktails there? Yes, Okay, we'll talk
about that when we come back. Stick around our Halloween
panel today Ernie Alonzo, Dusty Sage, and Julie Tremaine as
we talk about Southern California haunts, food and beyond.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
So go nowhere.
Speaker 6 (09:00):
You're listening to The Fork Report with Nil Savedra on
demand from KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (09:07):

Speaker 2 (09:08):

Speaker 1 (09:26):
Now? But they've got so much going on there.

kinds of neat things there. Obviously the overlay for the
holidays and all the decorations are gorgeous and so much
going on there. So you'll have a chance to win

Halloween show leading us into the Halloween season. Ernie Alonso
from hauntedoc dot com for all your Haunted tours. Dusty Sage,
CEO of mice chat dot com for all your Disney
(10:13):
knowledge and more. He also does tours at the Disney
Mansion we've been talking about in the Hollywood Hills. Slash
lospheelis Julie Tremaine, cookbook author, Extraordinary journalist for SFGate dot
com and also the author of Disney Villain's Devilishly Delicious cookbook.
(10:36):
They are partnering for a one day event. Even though
they will continue to do daytime tours and the candlelight
tours at the Disney Mansion, this one night is win.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
What's the date again?
Speaker 3 (10:47):
It's on Halloween nights, so that's right, which is on
a Friday night? This year's is the perfect time to
join us up at Walt Disney's storybook mansion in the
Hollywood Hills.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
So we talked a little bit about the food. I mean,
imagine having a cocktail party in the Disney Mansion, so
of course there'll be wine, champagne. Did you put together
a special cocktail for the night?
Speaker 5 (11:14):
I did put together a signature cocktail. It may be
inspired by a certain potion that turns a certain evil
queen into an old woman who feeds snow white a
poison apple. So I was inspired by the evil queen
when she's you know, she's in her dungeon, growing all
her potions, and then she she drinks one that turns
(11:34):
her into that the crone that gives snow at the
poison apple, and then you know, puts her to sleep.
So I this it's a it's a book cocktail in
the book mocktail in the book called the Peddler's Disguise.
But for a spirited evening, we'll be adding some spirits
to that.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
I'm all in Dussi's all.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
We're going to lean on it. Don't worry about it.
That your mother take too. That's awesome. Now what about
you know? Again, don't want to give you any spoilers,
but there's a bar in the house, two of them. Yeah,
even though it was prohibition prohibition, but what.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
Was you know? You see? I love how when you.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
Ask people about Walt Disney they always respond with he
was a man of his times.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
So we are all.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
Product of our time, right. But so to have a
cigarette and a drink in your hand in the afternoon
was not abnormal in those days.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
So what was his drink?
Speaker 3 (12:29):
Walt liked a Scotch missed and I frequently tell people
during the tours what his recipe was. And it's easy
to remember, because you put into a beautiful leaded crystal
glass crushed ice, and on top of that, you poor
Scotch ladies and gentlemen, a Scotch, miss, It is just
(12:49):
Scotch on the rocks, but with crushed ice, with a.
Speaker 5 (12:52):
Twist of lemon, forget a twist, but not enough to
change the alcohol content.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
Yea, not to mention. Technically, that's not a cocktail. You
have to have three ingredients.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
You have to have the three the three points of
a cocktail, your bidders and your booze and your Yeah.
So even with the garnish, it's not a cocktail. That's
that's just a that's a shot. That's a big old
hairy shot.
Speaker 3 (13:20):
You know what's great about this story is that Walt's
dad was a teetotaler. He was in the temperance movement
to prevent people from drinking alcohol. He even ran a
jelly and soda company called Ozel o dash Z E
l L. And if you want to keep people from
drinking hard liquor, you offer them soft drinks. And that's
(13:40):
where the term soft drink comes from. I did not
know that that's true, and ozel Soda went defunked. Many
years ago, but I was able to help bring it
back to life, and today you can buy an Ozel
soda and any Rocket Fizz store across America, and one
hundred percent of the proceeds go back to save and
restore Walt Disney's historic birth place in Chicago, Illinois, a
(14:02):
project that I put on the map many years ago.
So it's just something I'm proud of having done. And
it ties into the fact that Walt was a drinker
and his dad wasn't and Walt built two bars in
his house that Elias couldn't have been happy about.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
That That is crazy. I love that story so much.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
If you're quiet, you can actually hear your friendly neighborhood
Fork reporter learning something live on the air.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
That last brain cell is really struggling.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
We're gonna blow right.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
We will be back more as we talk all things spooky,
Halloween and edible on the Fork Report.
Speaker 6 (14:39):
You're listening to The Fork Report with Nil Savedra on
demand from KFI Am six forty.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
Hey, everybody, Neil Savedra, your friendly neighborhood Fork Reporter, and
the Fork Report.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
Today. What a great day to talk food and Halloween.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
This is it, man, This is the top of the
slide that we It goes so fast to the end
of the year, so I want to savor every little
ounce of it and just enjoy Halloween and Fall, going
into thanks Giving and wonderful food and then of course
(15:16):
Christmas and all of that into the new year. So
we are starting that out with our first panel. Our
panel today is Ernie Alonso from hauntedoc dot com, Dusty Sage,
CEO of mice chat dot com, all Things Disney and
also a tour guide of fabulous tour guide at the
Walt Disney Mansion in the Hollywood Hills slash a Los Felis.
(15:40):
Julie Tremaine, a journalist and cookbook author for Disney Villains,
is the book we've been talking about, Disney Villains Devilishly
Delicious Cookbook. I mean, you know, poison apples for cookies
and sweets. Of course you're going to go there, but
all of these wonderful dishes, main courses, cakes and pies,
(16:02):
drinks and of course salads and sides, breakfasts and appetizers.
I the minute we started talking about it, went to
Amazon and bought a hardcover copy.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
You want the hard cover copy.
Speaker 3 (16:17):
I actually didn't know.
Speaker 5 (16:19):
I was visiting Disneyland Paris and I just walked into
the gift shop of the Tower of Terror and there
was a cookbook with the Disney Villain's Cookbook in French
and I was like, oh, that looks familiar. And I
opened it up and it was my cookbook in French.
And I didn't know Disney license it in.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
A French version. Yeah, why not, right, I definitely bought one. Yeah,
how cool is that?
Speaker 3 (16:40):
It's very cool? Now you just need to learn French,
she saw.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
I think this is right.
Speaker 5 (16:44):
Yeah, it was like, no, these are definitely my recipes.
And then I flipped to the page and I was like,
ooh that is my name. Yes, in fact, I did.
I wrote this book. It's a different language.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
That is super cool. That is like, you know, when
you see the old Star Wars posters for or China
or Japan or something, You're like, I don't know what
it says, but it's so beautiful.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
I want that.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
But having it in your you know, knowing that you
don't speak that language, and it's been translated as pretty spectacular. Okay,
So we've been talking about tours you can go on
and you can find out all the dates and ticket
prices and all of that at haunted oc dot com.
Hauntedoc dot com and you can find out about the
(17:28):
Halloween night festivities, the one night cocktail party and the
like at Disney's Mansion in Los Felis slash Hollywood Hills.
That is a spectacular, once in a lifetime I think
just the tour is. I was blown away, and we
talk about the spooky aspects and it's candlelight, but really
(17:53):
it's everything. It's what Julie was saying too. You see
the architecture, the time period, you feel all those vibes.
You can hear the kids running through there in your head,
the Disney's children and playing around, and the stories and
the Christmas morning and the art and the story. It's
all of those things, but at night with the candle light,
(18:14):
it just gives it an actual It's the.
Speaker 3 (18:16):
Ghosts of the past. You find yourself walking through history
and the hair on your arms goes up because you
just know where you are and that's what makes it
truly spectacular. And then you do it by candlelight and
tell a few additional stories from Low Spielis and the area,
and it adds an area of creepiness to it. But
(18:38):
I like to call it the History and Mystery of
Walt Disney Storybook Mansion because we do start with the
Walt Disney history and then drift off into these other
stories upstairs for the scary tours. So it's it's pretty extraordinary.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
Yeah, it's not like you know, a headless goofy starts
stumbling out of a closets.
Speaker 3 (18:56):
So it's really they're real. So these aren't I'm not
trying to scare anyone. I am terrifying to look at,
but I'm not trying to scare anyone. But all the
stories come straight from the history books and the newspapers,
and they're the tales and legends of Los Angeles and
Los Felis that happened in and around the house. No,
(19:18):
you can find the love in the charm and the
way you tell the stories is really great. And I've
talked with Party many times about you know, the stuff
going on there, and it's just a it's just a
neat place and to have somebody that is doing it,
you know, not for a quick buck, but you can
(19:39):
tell the passion and love for every nook and cranny. Yeah, yeah,
it's everybody that needs to come out and see it
at least once, and if you're too afraid to go
at night, come during the day. This coming weekend and
the weekend after we are doing daytime history tours, and
then in the evening if you want a little bit more.
Ernie is selling candlelight Ghoes tour tickets for those Saturday
(20:01):
nights as well. We're even adding a rare Sunday day
of tours because they've been they've all been sold out,
so we're trying to get as many people in as
we can and as long as I can put the
owner up in a fancy hotel nearby. He's happy to
let us have the house for the day.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
Is he living in there full time? He has multiple homes.
I don't know why.
Speaker 3 (20:22):
You know, when you're a horror movie director, you live
wherever you want to live, whatever's creepiest. But yeah, he's
letting me during the Halloween season use the house in
an awful lot of days.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
Okay, movie pitch you guys ready, I'm ready, you want in,
you want in on the ground floor. There's a tour guide.
It does haunted tours. Yeah, doesn't believe. He just tells
the stories. Okay, deep voice. Interesting look. Does he have
(20:53):
a beard yes, and a great head of hair, impeccable
riz okay in charms, everybody waves, shakes hands at the
end of the night, and as he shuts the door,
rolls his eyes take off the guar or whatever until
(21:14):
the house finally shows itself to it.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
Oh my gosh, come on, now, make it happen.
Speaker 3 (21:21):
I'm in, I'm in.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
It's the name Dusty's Run.
Speaker 3 (21:28):
Basically did happen to you right on multiple occasions. But
if you're a movie maker out there, please get in
touch on ready.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
On the ground floor. No less, that's what you gotta do.
You get to be the producer.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
I love it.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
Yeah, I'll just watch it. I don't care. Anybody gonna
ideas are you know nothing? Just make it happen so
I can watch it. Julian E Books on the Horizon.
Speaker 5 (21:52):
I have a book that is coming out next year.
I'm working on it right now that I am so
so excited to talk about. It's called the Unofficial Park's
Retro Cookbook, and it is a cookbook that recreates recipes
from restaurants at Disneyland and Walt Disney World that don't
exist anymore.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
Oh, I love it.
Speaker 5 (22:09):
So it opening day restaurants that you would have walked
down Main Street and seen Sunkiss Citrus House. We looked
at menus might collaborator Carl Karamane and I looked at
these menus from these places. The recipes don't exist, so
we were like, Okay, what do we do? How do
we bring this to life? So we did lots and
lots of research. So the book is histories of each
(22:31):
of these places and then recipes that we to the
best of our knowledge, are best versions of recreations of
those recipes, and a lot of them. We talked to
managers of the restaurants and a lot of them we
were able to find approximations from people who had tried them.
You know, but food, these foods haven't been served for
almost seventy years, so it was a really fun piecing
(22:55):
it together research mystery.
Speaker 3 (22:57):
It is very delicious.
Speaker 5 (22:59):
And I served shrimp I did from the Galactic Star Cruiser,
which is.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
A blue shrimp. They can't even sell their blue milk.
Speaker 3 (23:07):
Right, supposed to have gone out one night and she says, Oh,
I'm so sorry, but I'm busy dying shrimp.
Speaker 5 (23:12):
I'm so sorry. I have to cook ten courses for you.
I know you really suffered from that.
Speaker 3 (23:16):
Last night. I came over in eight said blue Shrimp.
They were delicious.
Speaker 5 (23:21):
So that Star Wars hotel that only lasted a year
was called the Galactic star Cruiser. And the thing that
everyone talked about was the ice pollution shrimp cocktail, which
was it was just blue shrimp cocktail. So I since
that one doesn't exist anymore, that's it does. We do
have open day Disneyland restaurants, but we do have things
that just closed, like that Pizza Rizzo and the Muppet
(23:42):
short iRED Hollywood Studios, so it really.
Speaker 3 (23:45):
Is very up to date.
Speaker 5 (23:46):
We we included restaurants that really just closed this year,
so the Blue Shrimp was one of them.
Speaker 3 (23:51):
And you know what, you really liked it. It was
so good we were mad about and multiple different kinds
of ribs because you were trying to figure out which
version was the most like the original.
Speaker 5 (23:58):
And I have to try the Don def Silver Banjo
only existed in the late fifties for years.
Speaker 3 (24:05):
Knowing you is a dream come true.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
Now, I know what everyone says that actually saw I
have that on my business card.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
I will tell you that people hit me up all
the time, going can I be a guest taster on
the show, because a lot of times we have food
coming in here. I've never known what that felt like
until today. I'm like, can I be a guest taster
on your show?
Speaker 3 (24:26):
That sounds like do the party about all the food?
You bring your favorite foods, and were going to do
a party with Neil.
