Charles ... "that chicken died old in a rocking chair with hate in its heart." Lol that cracked me up!
Denise Bond Charles is my favorite followed by Pete.
I had to pause the video to give myself time to stop laughing. Marvelous!
Charles is my favorite
Pete Werner, the voice of reason for Tony's Town Square. I'll be damned.
As soon as I saw this I said if Pete's there I gotta watch this.
MrRochenator I know! I was expecting a bloodbath! I agree, the diet thing threw him off 🤗
Charles’ description of the chicken was literally my favorite thing ever. 😂😂
Pete is my favorite DIS cast member, but he was definitely grumpy this episode! LOL, that diet bro.. but grumpy Pete is still awesome!.. however it’s nice to see Charles have the balls to stand up to him and stand by his opinions, great episode!
J Murphy he really hates Tony’s might be an influence in the bad attitude haha
Anybody who's grumpy is a pain to have to endure. Pete doesn't get a pass on this, lol.

Spot on.
My name is Gena ...not Kevin . Anyhoo . I read a lot of the comments and there seems to be people writing that want Sean to not be in dining reviews . I’m the opposite ! You need the different personalities to get a true review . I have 2 boys that i can base if they would like or dislike a restaurant or food by Sean !!! Either Sean is not adventurous ( like my teens) or he hasn’t been exposed culturally as the others ( Steve’s taste is s little plain and picky too ) ....and that’s ok !!! He’s young and will develop his taste buds and reviews . I think he’s adorable and his honest and non presumptuous attitude is refreshing !!
My husband and I quote Charles so much in our every day lives. Our old favorite was when he was talking about them "angrily throwing cheese" on a pizza, but pretty sure the "old chicken in a rocking chair that died with hate in its heart" is our new favorite Charles line... haha... cracks us up everytime.
Jennifer Durkee I also like "good for you you fried some cheese" in the boatwrights review
More Rhino!
Charles "Peas" Boda - the chicken died of old age with hate in her heart. I love Charles! Pete - try steaming fresh vegetables. That makes a huge difference in taste/texture. Also try roasting root vegetables, like carrots, parsnips and turnips.
The Pete Show: A Survey in Mansplaining
Pete pretends like he want to care about everybody's opinions, but in reality, if somebody doesn't agree with him, he rudely interrupts to talk the other's opinion down. His opinion is not the only one that matters. STOP INTERRUPTING when somebody doesn't agree with you, Pete! It's arrogant, rude, and so petty. He acts like a petulant child when somebody doesn't completely agree with him.
I agree!
Everybody on here roasting sean, leave the man alone his job is to book your vacation not go into culinary depth of a bad italian place😂😂
Pete has defo got diet brain . Everything taste ok on a diet .
This is what I love about Pete, he is willing to give a restaurant a second chance and is willing to reward the effort to improve.
"That chicken died very old sitting on a rocking chair with hate in its heart"!!! Bahahahaha
Much of the problem with skinless, boneless chicken that is used in most "add on" recipes is that the government requires it be cooked to 165F. By the time the customer gets the chicken the temp goes even higher and the chicken gets even dryer. Compare this to typical fried chicken that is coated in egg wash, flour, and other "secret" ingredients which all act a a sealer and keep the chicken moist. Fried chicken is almost always moist. Skinless boneless is almost always dry in high volume restaurants. It's even dryer when it is pre-cooked as an option. The lesson here is avoid ordering skinless boneless chicken as an add-on in restaurants.
I order chicken ALL the time as either a side or as a main dish. It sounds like it wasn't simply a dry chicken issue but rather one that suffered from woody breast syndrome. This issue can be exacerbated if the chicken is frozen and/or cooked at too high of a temperature. Dried out chicken with woody breast syndrome is not a good combo. Usually in my experience though it's not the entire piece of chicken that has the problem, just a portion of it.
Pete's Jersey accent really came out when he was talking about the fat from the sausage!! Lol
Cheesecake w/balsamic? My grandmother used to make a fruit compote/balsamic reduction that was fantastic on lemon sponge cake. Maybe that's what they had in mind? Chicken breast can be pounded and cross cut to tenderize. But if they are buying bulk, discounted chicken, it should be stewed. Also if you salt chicken before cooking it can draw all the juices out causing it to dry. I salute you all for your bravery.
Tell the chief to brine the chicken overnight. It'll do wonders for even low quality poultry.
I used to work at TTS, and I saw it go from linen napkins and tablecloths, to paper napkins. They cut so many corners, they were always on the chopping block to be closed due to these issues. It's an overflow restaurant for the other restaurants. The only thing it has going for it is porch seating for the parades.
We went there last trip and i really enjoyed it actually!!!
Just kidding it sucks lol
gio Z 😂 true tho
Sean don’t listen to everyone complaining. They did the same thing with Charles when he started and now they rave about him and his personality.
I was one of those who didn't care for Charles in the beginning, but after hearing his style of reviewing things...it was clear he was informative, detailed, and well spoken...just in a very monotone way (took some getting used to). Sean has been on The Dis about the same amount of time as Charles and I just don't see him being a strong and detailed voice when it comes to food and dining. He seems to be more versed in rides and attractions. But then again he comes off sounding unsure by constantly throwing in "uhhhhh". Bottom line is that if you have a show about food, you wouldn't want someone who has little to no food or dining experience. You wouldn't put in someone on a show about music if they only have Justin Beiber CDs in their collection.
I was just about to say the same thing. While he doesn't have a sophisticated food palate, the unkind comments are uncalled for.
Wow! A very interesting review. I'm happy to hear they're making an effort to improve the dinning experience.
Aged balsamic vinegar on ice cream or fresh fruit is VERY Italian and super delicious - but it has to extremely high-quality aged balsamic, and we know Tony's ain't got it.
yea a proper balsamic reduction is really pricey and out of Tony's reach I'm sure....maybe they just need to take the sugar out of the soup and add it to their reduction =)
Carrie Lynn - Yeah, they either buy the reduced commercial balsamic you can buy at any grocery or take a low grade balsamic and reduce to a syrup on the stove. It is noting like the taste of a true 100 year old aged balsamic drizzled over some real vanilla ice cream with fresh sliced strawberries. That's decadence.
If they have to go cheap, they could always caramalize the balsamic with honey.
The dining review we've all been waiting for!!!
Thoughts and prayers continued for Kevins healing
hair dresser Is everyone from the show ok? Did I miss something? Or is this just a nice gesture? Thanks...
Thanks for reminding me to clarify.
broken arm that had to be operated on I think. Missed their Hawaii vacation
ive been watching this show for a while now and I can't understand why Pete is so stubborn with his opinion and will not let anyone have a different opinion without him letting them know that they are stupid and wrong. Charles, Craig, and Steve sometimes have great points but gets interrupted by Pete and get told that they are wrong if it goes against what he said. God forbid if you interrupt Pete, he gets all pissy. I love this show but it gets so toxic when Pete hears an opinion different from his.
Seriously! My boyfriend and I love the show, but always point out how brutal he is on Steve! It’s like he can’t have an opinion...
I feel bad there is so many negative comments about Sean, I think in a way it's important to have someone who maybe isn't as adventurous with their food and maybe is a bit picky, it's possible I just like him cause he's a bit like me in that regard. Just know Sean if you are reading this some of us think you're great
Cheers guys...love the different views on this place
THANKS PETE! I would love it if you could do more low carb dining reviews. Our family is living the LC lifestyle and it would be great if you could provide that perspective to the low carb community.
I’ve been waiting for this!!
BEST PART OF MY FRIDAY
A lot of people on here are hating on Sean, but I actually thought this was one of his better reviews. He had in-depth and thought out opinions. He seems like a picky eater, but honestly, a lot of people are, so it's good to have that perspective on the show.However, Charles is right about Pete. Never accept food advice from a man on a diet. ;)
We have looked forward to this review for a long time!! I cannot believe Pete’s rating! 😳
I love how honest this review is. Tony’s honestly has always had some major problems.
I went to Tony's about 3 weeks ago and I enjoyed it. It wasn't the best food ever, but we did the Festival of Fantasy Dining Package and got a great view of the parade after the meal. All that considered I was really happy with my visit to Tony's. The restaurant has a great atmosphere.
such a sophisticated food palate Sean has... thinking Pine nuts taste like a Pine tree...o.O. Sounds like a food review from my 5yr old nephew!
I used to find his input really frustrating, then I realized that if you consider it as a child's perspective, it's actually quite helpful. I realize that sounds rude, I don't want to hurt his feelings, but he's really not that into food obviously.
Michael Casey he doesn't belong on a dining show
Or a smelling show apparently ;) :D :D
24:32 "I don't cook a lot."
You don't say? Shocker.
Honestly hes only qualified to do a dining show at a playskool kitchen set using playdoh =/
Do you know if they're planning on making any changes to the menu in Tony's, in keeping for when the live action Lady and the Tramp comes out?
Just found your channel ... loving you guys!!
I'm glad you gave this place another chance. I have never been there however I know it's history isn't positive. I also like that the team recognized the server was friendly and the new chef was open to your comments. Maybe they will have you back in a few months for a focus group of their newer items.
Please bring back the Disney dinning round table for dinning reviews these are the best
Los mejores ❤️ We love your reviews.
I'm intrigued by the cheesecake/vinegar thing as it looked like there were strawberries on the plate too. Did you mix all three together? I've made mascarpone ice cream served with strawberries soaked in balsamic vinegar (and sugar). It was pretty darned good. I know there's a wide gulf between cheesecake and ice cream, but since both use custard as a base with one baked and the other frozen it might have the same effect.
I’m not sure Sean is the best choice for the dining show.
I agree! He's very negative, doesn't seem to like ANY kind of food.
John Deveney He's not exactly the brightest bulb of the bunch
He doesn't seem to have nearly the refined palate or culinary understanding to give even the most earnest of functional food reviews. He reminds me of a kid who refuses to try or like anything new or unfamiliar.
It’s smart to have a group comprised not only of refined tastes but also picky eaters. Not everyone has an adventurous palate.
Bethany Walker, I see what you're saying, and I suppose you're right that a review show should be representative of different palates. However, Sean still fails to be able to describe what he doesn't like about certain dishes, which doesn't function well in the context of a food review.
Great review guys. I love it when you get a bit riled up. Diet madness aside, My feeling towards vegetables is much like yours Pete. Up until the last few months I hated, with a capital H, asparagus. That was until I marinated some in citrus vinaigrette (balsamic vinaigrette will work too) and grilled it. This is now my favorite veg and great for low carb. Slicing zucchini or summer squash and doing the same is really good too. Keep up the good fight. Going the low carb route here too. Scott
One dish was all salt; one was all pepper. Soup disgusting. Two meals inedible. Dessert with runner marks down the plate. But it's getting better lol. As long people keep eating here they don't have to make it better. Guests put their food blinders on the minute they step off the plane and will pay $50 for Chef Boyardee as long as it includes a good parade spot.
The salt complaints could (probably) be solved with one simple request...tell them you have low-salt dietary restrictions. You mentioned how well they catered to your low-carb diet, so low-salt should be easier to do. Assuming they make all the food to order.
As someone who's been following the "low carb" lifestyle for *20 years*, I SO appreciate Pete's descriptions and details on HOW this - or ANY - food place at WDW will accomodate me! Planning our 1st ever - and ONLY - trip in Dec. 2018, this is a REAL concern! Thank you for helping me see HOW I'LL be able to eat! And Pete, you CAN do it! It's NOT a "diet", but a lifestyle! Trust me, I know! In time, you'll feel SO much better! And what's not to love about having REAL butter, REAL cream, REAL animal proteins?!?! YUM! :-) Thanks again! LOVE the shows!
Great show thanks
Omg I can’t wait to hear what Pete thinks about this place !!!
Please rethink having Sean on these restaurant videos. No reason to torture him........or us.
Pine 😆 🌲
“Pine nuts don’t taste like pine” 😂
I love you guys 😆 ❤️
Thanks for review!
Last time you went Kevin got the Tiramisu and it was served in a coffee cup. I loved his line “I plate things nicer for eating alone in front of the TV” lol
I love that Pete is on a low carb diet and doing his review based on that because I am on the Keto diet and it’s low carb as well. To hear the positive review on food and how understanding the staff is is great! It makes me feel so much better about my trip in October.
I prefer the live footage from the restaurant over the pictures
I love that your vegetable story made Charles laugh so much. I have vegetable issues as well. Lol. My Mom would make me sit at the table until mine were finished....until she made me eat peas once. I finished them, then promptly regurgitated everything back up onto the plate. 🤑
if Pete is that well known, maybe he should wear a disguise when you do dining review :)
The review we've all been waiting for. I don't have a complaint against Sean. Since our palates don't match up, I can't determine if I would enjoy something based on his feedback. He's fine and I'm tired of people bashing him. I hate hot dogs as well.
Having gone to culinary school, and having a sensitive palate, I think these guys do a pretty fair job. It is enough for the average person to see if they would enjoy it. I've not eaten at Tony's, probably won't until something drastically changes. Keep up the good work gentlemen.
I like Charles lookin a lil more casual; but yes, please, always light Rhino wherever he goes ever in life, he's the best!
Pete..."Enjoy rehab Charlie"...LMAO😆
So I went to Tony's two years ago and I was unimpressed with the Tiramisu (and with everything else). It was over-saturated in Kahlua to the point that there was a puddle on my plate and i found it tasteless. But, since that was two years ago and a new chef has come in, I'm curious to try it again. Particularly if you guys are saying it was the best thing on the table.
Allyx N. Yea same here it's been 3 years since I been but I think I'm willing to give it another shot now after this review
I love how Charles will hang in there with Pete and give "it" back to him....makes it funny.
I’m so excited to hear your opinion!
Charles knows what he is talking about when it comes to food but so does Pete though love to order what they both get.
LMAO I CAN'T WAIT TO HEAR THIS ONE!!!!
Pete, I recently converted to a LCHF/Keto lifestyle AND have two WDW trips coming up. Therefore, I really appreciate your review and tips on customizing menu items. Tony's is not on my agenda, but I will use ideas from this review at other locations. Thanks!
Great review hope to hear a review of Hollywood and vine and the other bad restaurants also please do a breakfast review
John Nary you mean Hollywood and Slime.
I think you guys should go back to the old style of vlogs in the restaurant. I really love that style of video.
If you feel that the Chef is still working on the menu, maybe contact her and ask her when she feels the restaurant has "Her" menu to let you guys know. Then you can review again.
Please tell me we hear that the sauce is from a can
Why is everyone hating on Sean? I love chicken Alfredo and if it’s something you eat all the time and enjoy and you go to order it at a restaurant and it tastes like garbage then his review is quite accurate. You can taste the difference between good quality Alfredo sauce and garbage Alfredo sauce. Just saying.
Oh Pete, I am right there with you with the Mom forcing you to eat veggies thing. It was my job to clear the table, so when she wasn't looking I would mash them under my plate and scrape them off in the kitchen. Then we got a dog who would eat ANYTHING and I would sneak them under the table to him. Can't eat lima beans to this day!
" I just imagine that chicken was very old and it died with hate in his heart." Charles you are stealing Pete's one liner. Lol!
I'm so happy Charles has more of a role in these shows now. :)
Pete-- best options for low carb in Disney would be loved and appreciated 😊
Everyone on this show is amazing ! Charles should have his own show ! Sean congratulations on becoming an agent. Everyone sleeps on Steve I want to see more of him ! Pete is amazing as always !
Now they need to do a review of Ale & Compass, the replacement for Captain's Grille, which was just as infamous on the DIS Unplugged as Tony's!
Steve repping the Utes let's go! I miss Steve's reviews.
I’m so amused by Pete Werner raving about Tony’s
Steve I loved your jacket. Go Utes!
Thoughts and prayers to Chef Katie...Lol!
Something about it was disgusting...but what?
I wonder if it would've bounced 😂😂😂
Enjoy Rehab Charlie 😂😂😂😂😂
There was a skidmark going down the middle...I died 😂😂😂😂😂
Pete, eat your drama veggies. You all crack me up.
Pete, what is your favorite restaurant in the United States? (Have you dined at Daniel in NYC?)
Charles is a star.
Thanks for doing these reviews. I will never eat at this place now.
You guys need to a line of DIS Unplugged t-shirts. Have cartoon versions of each of you with a signature comment. You all have so many funny ones. I would buy the whole line to wear in the parks! Charles' chicken comment would be perfect for a T.
I did not see this coming. Pete keeps saying 'outstanding' at Tony's?. Salad everyday has definitely altered his tastebuds. Next week Pete re-reviews Boatwrights and leaves pleasantly surprised. I am amazed Disney can't serve decent Italian food (which always has a decent margin anyway) at a good price. Disney's margin must be HUGE on this stuff.
So I am guessing I will still avoid this place a little longer... Maybe a retry next year December...
Hope your right Pete. Tony's should have a traditional Italian menu that compliments the theme. The food I had there wasn't bad but it wasn't high quality. Hopefully this new chef will turn it around and make it the dining jewel of Main Street USA. Keep us posted. Thanks for all you reviews because it actually enhances our trips and plans to Walt Disney World.
#DietMadness my new favorite term. LOL!!! When will you guys be back on property?
I don’t know if it’s the summer sun or the diet, but Pete’s skin looks great!!
I forgot how much fun these old shows were. BRING CHARLES BACK! He really made the show!! I love the dynamic with Pete and Charles. Everyone was so funny and entertaining on this episode.
Well, I'm sold. We're going to reserve it again for December's trip. I *LOVED* my salad last time, HATED my Chicken Parm... The time before I had Butternut Squash soup and a Flatbread Pizza -- they were both... GOOD. Ate meatballs off my kids' plates, and those were good, too! The chicken there is SO bad, and the pasta that accompanied it was watery and tasteless. My husband liked the steak enough to want to go back (over trying the new menu at Diamond Horseshoe). I'll stick with the ice cream (it is NOT gelato, despite what the menu reads) over the balsamic cheesecake... ugh, gross!
Pete has gone insane. No other explanation lol
I know pictures can be deceiving but based off the pictures and the review it seems like Tony's is better then it was 2 years since I ate there. I'm so glad to hear that they are a least trying to make it better.
Hoping it does get better! It is not that hard to make good italian food. Wishing Chef Katie all the luck!
I love Sean, I don't understand why everyone is hating on him
A balsamic REDUCTION can have a bit of sweetness to it. Maybe this just wasn't reduced enough?
I had a felling Tony's wasn't a good resturant but i wish the new chef the best of luck though but busalmic viniger on a cheesecake?!!!
I tuned in more for the entertainment than the information on this one. Had to hear about whether that sauce still comes from a can.
#Bitterchicken!!! Need to back in 3-4 months see if the Chef is still there and if there is improvement.
