According to Disney Parks Blog, there are a couple of new additions to the Food and Wine Festival this year.
First, ABC’s The Chew will be broadcasting live on October 7, 8, and 9 from the festival. The show features hosts Mario Batali, Michael Symon, Clinton Kelly, Carla Hall, and Daphne Oz who all share they culinary experiences and ideas on the show. The festival episodes will air October 12-16.
So if you are going to be in Disney World while the show is taping there and would like tickets, you can visit thechew.com.
The second addition (well second and third) is called New Eats. It’s an area in the festival that will have the Sustainable Chew Marketplace, which will offer a very delicious sounding menu of items including: Savory Port Spareribs with Cheesy Mascarpone Grits and Vanilla Panna Cotta with Fresh Figs and Pistachio Brittle.
There will also be a Chew Lab in Next Eats, which is a marketplace that is inspired by food-science and different culinary tech trends. Both the Sustainable Chew Marketplace and the Chew Lab will be open in Future World, which is a first for the festival. Usually, the Food and Wine booths are all in the World Showcase.
The Next Eats area will be open for the whole Food and Wine Festival from September 25 to November 16.
