Food's actually getting good at these theme parks

Perhaps it should come as no surprise that Knott's Berry Farm in California has one of the most creative and ambitious food programs among parks. It started as a working berry farm and roadside stand in the 1920s (and is recognized for developing the hybrid boysenberry), expanded to include a restaurant, and eventually morphed into a theme park. Mrs. Knott's Chicken Dinner Restaurant, located next to the park, remains as popular today as the park itself.

"Food has such a great history and heritage here," says John Chiu, Knott's director of food and beverage. "We want to create great memories, and food should be a part of them." Among the memorable items that Chiu and his team serve are white chocolate mashed potatoes, honey and garlic glazed salmon served in lemongrass rice, and a rib eye steak sandwich served on grilled cheese bread with arugula, green tomatoes, and other fixings.
