Great new things are coming out of the Golden Oak Outpost in the Magic Kingdom. If you're a fan of "pub grub" you've got to swing on by and order a batch of fresh fried, Barbecue Chicarrons. These crispy cracklin's are perfect for a salty, crunchy treat that is still low-carb. You can find the outpost on the path between Adventureland and Frontierland across from the back side of Pecos Bill's.
