With the myriad recent announcements of the current renovations going on in Downtown Disney, an unfortunate development among the other announcements was that the Jazz Kitchen, a French Quarter style New Orleans restaurant was going to be rethemed into a generic, ugly mid-century building indistinguishable from one you'd find in any LA strip mall. The appeal of this restaurant is that I feel like I am eating in a restaurant on Bourbon Street. If I wanted to eat at a generic mid-century restaurant, I'd go to the Grove. I don't know why Disney is hellbent on turning Downtown Disney into another LA strip mall bereft of the magic that makes it so great, but as someone who loves this place, I am becoming increasingly concerned with the trajectory of Downtown Disney. It started with the removal of Rainforest Cafe, and I fear their appetite for destruction won't stop at stripping one of the coolest restaurants in Downtown Disney of everything that makes it unique and appealing. I am creating this petition imploring Disney to walk back on their ridiculous remodeling plans, and retain the old design that imbues it with the essence of New Orleans.
