The Chew’s Carla Hall and Michael Symon
No word yet on whether any of the show’s hosts will be involved in any special events, like Cooking Demonstrations or Premium Parties. Two years ago, the cast appeared on stage during one of the Rockin’ Burger Block Parties.
But we’ve got even more great news!
Earth Eats Booth Comes To The 2017 Epcot Food and Wine Festival!
In recent years, the festival made history by expanding marketplace booths into Future World for the very first time with The Chew. And it looks like this year, they’ll be bringing their innovative ideas to the event once more with the Earth Eats booth!
Ricotta and Zucchini Ravioli with Tomato Sauce
So far, we’re pretty sure that Earth Eats will be located in Future World. Returning to the booth from last year will be the Ricotta and Zucchini Ravioli with Rustic Tomato Sauce, and the Grilled Beef Skewer with Romaine, Apricots and Feta Cheese and Peanut Butter and White Chocolate Mousse with a Caramel Drizzle.
And Festival exclusive wines return once more and may be available at the booth as well!
Festival Exclusive Wines Return in 2017

Third year in a row for that stupid ravioli. Wish they would put a little more effort into mixing things up a bit more.
I am an Annual Passholder and a Food Network junkie! Especially The Chew! I am available for one ticket on any day and time.. Thank you so much! GG
Thank you thank you! Because of the information about tickets and when The Chew was to be in Orlando ( that happened to coincide with our trip) I have tickets reserved!! I’m crossing my fingers because I know that they give them out in excess that we will be able to be at the taping, but I am most grateful for your help!
