Praise for Eat Like Walt"By far one of my favorite books on Disney history. Yes, Disney history. It takes a unique look at Walt and Disneyland through food, what he liked, what was and still is served in the park."

Huffington Post"Marcy Carriker Smothers has produced a book that is far-reaching in its scope and offers a new perspective on Walt Disney, culinary life at his studio, and how food figured in his planning of Disneyland."

"She's known to fans of her previous food-based TV and radio programs. So it's not exactly a surprise that Marcy Carriker Smothers' latest book is about her two key interests--it's called
Eat Like Walt. Adventureland, Frontierland, Fantasyland, Tomorrowland and especially Main Street, U.S.A. each gets its own chapter, with details that even a Mouseketeer might never have known, or has forgotten."

"Smothers' creation isn't a cookbook. It's a history book with recipes, one that required travel, two years of researching, writing, and a dogged determination to tell a tale about Disneyland that had never been told before. . . . The book is filled with intimate photos--some never before published--of Walt with family members, friends, big shots and coworkers."

Orange County Register"Thanks to a generous helping of insider-type historic photographs and drawings, colorful graphics and a passionate narrative, it sweeps the reader along for the ride. And it's a good one."
