Citricos at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa will be hosting a “Brunch with a Twist” on February 11. The brunch was recently featured at the Epcot International Food & Wine Festival and was popular enough to bring back and add as a regular event.
Several of the resort’s chefs, including Executive Chef Scott Hunnel, Chef Dominique Filoni, Chef Noah Estabrook, Chef Nick Mussara, Chef Lawrence Searl, and Executive Pastry Chef Erich Herbitschek, have created the menu for the five-course brunch.
Guests will be able to watch the chefs in the on-stage kitchen, and even ask questions while they cook. Each course will be paired with a different champagne.

Her Chicago-born husband, David, left the city for her, and they're now raising their three children (Jacob, Jonah and Lydia) just 12 miles from her hometown. As the Senior Editor of the DIS (wdwinfo.com), Leah spends a lot of time writing about, reading about, and discussing Disney. So, it should come as no surprise that one of her family's favorite ways to spend time is going to Walt Disney World and traveling on Disney Cruise Line. She also enjoys shopping, watching movies with her husband and doing crafts with and for her kids.
