italianchef Posted October 5, 2003 Posted October 5, 2003 Since Boomerang Bay is going to be a "water resort" with "5 star amenities" I am wondering if PKI will offer different food. I would think that PKI would re-theme their eateries and offer something a little fancier and hopefully something Auzzie-oriented. It would seem to me that Caribbean Cones would be out of place in an Australian themed water resort. Perhaps it'll be re-named something like Outback Cones. And as for Sharkey's Eats...I'd hope it'd be re-themed and offer at least one Australian dish. We'll have to wait and see. I don't expect to see vegemite or kangaroo burgers (yes some Australian people really DO eat kangaroo, though I never would) on the menu - but I hope there will be some Australian flare in the cuisine. Have a great day! Italian Chef Quote
Beastfreak Posted October 6, 2003 Posted October 6, 2003 There will be changes. What you ask? Just wait and see. Quote
TheRickster Posted October 6, 2003 Posted October 6, 2003 Maby they can get some sponsorship by outback steakhouse. Quote
italianchef Posted October 6, 2003 Author Posted October 6, 2003 I surely hope that PKI will have some Australian influence in its culinary and/or beverage offering at Boomerang Bay. I really do. Quote
TheRickster Posted October 6, 2003 Posted October 6, 2003 I bet a restaurunt will be called the boomerang barbie. omg that would be a great name and I just made it up. Quote
fyrfyter Posted October 6, 2003 Posted October 6, 2003 I hope they add another full service bar into BB. The one at BGSS, is usually filled, and I'll bet it brings in the dough. Having tropical drinks available would be perfect. Quote
coasterrz Posted October 6, 2003 Posted October 6, 2003 I`m sure PKI`s executive chef that they hired back in last November (I think his name is David Zellner) is involved in coming up with some of the menu in Boomerang Bay. I do recall in an article in which he said that future restaurants would be coordinated with future additions. I for one can`t wait to experience BB in May, regardless of what food stands or restaurants are added. Quote
beastbreakdown Posted October 6, 2003 Posted October 6, 2003 i dought that the food in the main park may change but in bb i wish that they had leroy selmons ribs from tampa and out back owns them but i dought they would have them chances would probaly be around .001 not real good in my perspective and they food there is sort of australian. has any body ever eat there its some good stuff Quote
italianchef Posted October 9, 2003 Author Posted October 9, 2003 I`m sure PKI`s executive chef that they hired back in last November (I think his name is David Zellner) is involved in coming up with some of the menu in Boomerang Bay. I do recall in an article in which he said that future restaurants would be coordinated with future additions. I for one can`t wait to experience BB in May, regardless of what food stands or restaurants are added. This year I asked a total stranger to take a picture of Mrs. Chef and I in front of Bubba Gump Shrimp Shack. After the kind stranger took our picture, we recognized him (from the newspaper) as Mr. Zellner. Therefore we introduced ourselves to him. You are correct on both counts. The name of PKI's executive chef is David Zellner and he did say future eateries would be associated with rides. I hope that it will hold true for Boomerang Bay. Have a great day! Italian Chef Quote
dr zoidberg Posted October 12, 2003 Posted October 12, 2003 mr zellner is also the Food Department Head guy. he makes the decisions in the food areas. -zoid Quote
italianchef Posted October 14, 2003 Author Posted October 14, 2003 I hope that Mr. Zellner will provide Boomerang Bay with some Australian flare in the cuisine. Quote
TheRickster Posted October 14, 2003 Posted October 14, 2003 If he was behind gump shrimp I like him already. The theming for that place is great. Quote
beastbreakdown Posted October 14, 2003 Posted October 14, 2003 (edited) I wished i could try the the gump shrimp, but im alergic to shrimp. Edited January 1, 1970 by beastbreakdown Quote
TheRickster Posted October 15, 2003 Posted October 15, 2003 There is more then shrimp. Not sure how allergic you are. So im not sure if its all in the same oil or not. They have chicken strips that are good and fish. Quote
Beastfreak Posted October 15, 2003 Posted October 15, 2003 If he was behind gump shrimp I like him already. The theming for that place is great. Dave Zellner is not in charge of the theming for any food stand. Paramount Parks corporate design does that. Quote
italianchef Posted October 15, 2003 Author Posted October 15, 2003 Well I surely hope that Paramounts Parks has something good planned for Boomerang Bay's eateries. Quote
Losing Streak Posted October 17, 2003 Posted October 17, 2003 I don't think Zellner is the executive chef... I believe there's another person with that distinction. Quote
Beastfreak Posted October 17, 2003 Posted October 17, 2003 (edited) Zellner was and I believe, still is the corporate chef for Paramount Parks. He has created many ice sculptures for PKI's media preview dinners. Created the wonderful deserts of Tomb Raiders media preview... among other things. Edited January 1, 1970 by beastfreak Quote
italianchef Posted October 18, 2003 Author Posted October 18, 2003 (edited) According to the article below in The Cincinnati Enquirer, David Zellner is "the new food service manager for Kings Island" and "the park's first executive chef". http://www.enquirer.com/editions/2003/04/0..._pkifood02.html Have a great weekend!

italianchef Posted October 18, 2003 Author Posted October 18, 2003 He's a chef. He's a manager. Wish I could say the same. Quote
Beastfreak Posted October 18, 2003 Posted October 18, 2003 I'm part of his management team... not a chef, though I have thought about it. Quote
italianchef Posted October 18, 2003 Author Posted October 18, 2003 I'm part of his management team... not a chef, though I have thought about it. If you are young and childless....waste no time. Sign up for culinary classes even at night! A chef is like a cleric...it's a calling, much more than a profession. A chef is an artisian, a creator, as well as a dietician. GO FOR IT! Italian Chef Quote
Losing Streak Posted October 20, 2003 Posted October 20, 2003 Mr. Zellner's a great guy, too. Definately enjoy talking to him, when I get the pleasure. My mistake about the executive chef thing. Quote
italianchef Posted October 20, 2003 Author Posted October 20, 2003 Losing Streak, Regardless of your career path, I wish you the very best of luck. Sincerely, Italian Chef Quote
