food IS a theme park
Sometimes, Disney’s food get can a bit pricey.
EPCOT
As in, $62 for lunch? Even if the snacks are SO worth it, we sometimes just need a cheaper option. Today, we spotted an inexpensive and massive eat that we had to remind you all about in EPCOT. It’s been around for some time, but it deserves to be in the carb spotlight.
Epcot is busy with the International Festival of the Arts starting this Friday — we’ll be reporting live from opening day — but we still found new must-have food-themed merchandise being added to the shops as well as new drinks, sweet eats, teas, and construction progress — we’ve got it all covered!
Hello from Epcot
Let’s jump in with that brand new space-themed restaurant near Mission: Space opening in 2020!
Chef Paul Bocuse — one of the most celebrated Chefs of all time — passed away on January 20, 2018, at the age of 91. Chef Paul’s passing is certainly a loss to the culinary world, but to many Disney and Epcot fans as well.

His accolades were many and varied: among them, Chef Paul was one of a group of chefs who pioneered modern French cooking and “nouvelle cuisine” in the 1960s and 70s. This weekend, French President Emmanual Macron paid tribute to the owner of the three Michelin star restaurant L’Auberge du Pont de Collonges, describing him as the “incarnation of French cuisine.”
In the early 80s, Chef Bocuse was invited by the Walt Disney Company to create restaurants for the France Pavilion in EPCOT Center. The result was Les Chefs de France, which now runs under his son, Jérôme.
