Welcome to April! I hope the weather is starting to warm up for everyone. The Disney Food Blog team has a couple of fantastic news items to share with you this week on the blog, so stay tuned over the next couple of days! In the meantime, here are a few important pieces of Disney food news…

• We outlined the 2011 United Way Chef’s Gala to be held in Epcot May 21st.
• Disney World and Disneyland are offering counter-service discount coupons again! Details here.
• The chefs at Harvest Bistro at Hilton’s Bonnet Creek are creating comfort food. It’s like mom made – with a twist!

AND…I am excited to announce that the Orlando Sentinel’s Daily Disney Blog gave us a glowing write-up on the DFB Guide to Walt Disney World Dining e-Book!! Woo!! Check it out here.

And now, on to the round-up!

StudiosCentral.com takes us on a “MythBusters” analysis of Disney’s Hollywood Studios counter-service restaurants. Since MythBusters is always airing in my house, I loved this unique review!
