Disney Parks are known for some of the most creative and unique theme park food you will ever find. In fact, some guests come for the restaurants and don’t even visit the parks! Part of the reason why Disney has such a broad offering of cuisines is due to the brilliantly diverse chefs and creative teams that work behind the scenes cultivating menus and flavors fusions that blow our minds at every turn. Today we are learning more about Chef Daniel from Be Our Guest Restaurant and his cultural staple, Arepas.
Colombian-born Disney Chef Danny Contreras recently chatted with Thomas Mazloum, president of Disney Signature Experiences, about arepas and the new Adventures by Disney trip to Colombia. One of the highlights of the trip is the opportunity to learn to make arepas – a traditional Colombian dish!
