"The Chew" marketplaces to feature innovative festival fare

"The Chew" co-hosts Mario Batali, Michael Symon, Carla Hall, Clinton Kelly and Daphne Oz announced the show is leaving its Manhattan studio for the first time in its history to broadcast from the 20th annual Epcot International Food & Wine Festival at Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando. The Emmy Award-winning lifestyle series will tape five shows on Oct. 7-9 to air during the week of Oct. 12-16 on "The Chew."

"We are beyond excited to be invited to celebrate such an important food event," said Gordon Elliott, executive producer of "The Chew." "What a great way to kick off our fifth season. We are planning a terrific series of shows for our viewers and live audience that will use every available piece of magic the park and our show can muster."

"The Chew" shows from Epcot will showcase festival highlights as well as food and beverage from "around the world" of Walt Disney World Resort. From stellar dining experiences to immersive dining that transports guests into cherished stories, "The Chew" will explore Disney Parks restaurants that offer innovative, fun and healthful dining choices and share some of their favorites.

In addition, "The Chew" will be featured in two themed marketplaces located at the new Next Eats area of Future World - the first time in the festival's history that new culinary experiences have expanded into the Future World area of the park. At the new Sustainable Chew Marketplace, festivalgoers can enjoy three dishes inspired by "The Chew" co-hosts. From savory pork spareribs with red wine and fennel with cheesy mascarpone grits and ricotta and zucchini ravioli with tomato sauce to vanilla panna cotta with fresh figs and pistachio brittle, "The Chew" has something for everyone this year. This eco-home-inspired marketplace will offer guests a chance to learn more about how food is grown and the importance of food sustainability. Herbs and vegetables harvested from The Land pavilion greenhouses at Epcot will flavor the marketplace dishes.

A second new Future World marketplace at Next Eats will feature "The Chew Lab," where Disney chefs are collaborating with "The Chew" to create a cutting-edge marketplace inspired by food-science labs and the hottest culinary tech trends.

"The Chew" will continue to update viewers on additional festival plans throughout the summer. Tune in weekdays at 1 p.m. ET and visit http://www.thechew.com.
