Carnation Café, found on Main Street, U.S.A. inside Disneyland park, has served Walt's Chili for years, a tasty homage to the park founder's favorite hearty lunch.
The most famous theme park in the world is temporarily closed, but you can still enjoy a bowl of Walt's Chili, if you're game to make the dish in your own kitchen.
