This week on Hangin' at the Hangar Bar, we're setting our sights—and our appetites—on a Disney Springs favorite we've never tried before: Chef Art Smith's Homecomin'. That's right, we're finally digging into the hype, the menu, and the man behind it all as we prep for our first-ever visit this September.From crave-worthy fried chicken to dangerously sippable moonshine cocktails, we comb through the Homecomin' menu and share what's calling our names (spoiler: it's the Hummingbird Cake… loudly). We also take a moment to appreciate Chef Art Smith's story, including his roots in the Disney College Program and his culinary journey from small-town Florida to Oprah's kitchen.To make things even tastier, we're launching a listener-powered challenge that puts you in the dining driver's seat. Over the coming weeks, you'll help us choose one of our September Disney dining spots by voting in three rounds on our socials:Which park will we eat in?Will it be table service or quick service?Which restaurant (that we've never tried before) gets the golden reservation?Make sure you're following us on Instagram and Facebook so you can vote and help shape our Disney adventure!Join us at the bar—where every episode pairs best with Southern charm and a side of Disney magic.

Alan Saunders and Zachary Smith discuss all things Pittsburgh Steelers. On today's episode, we discuss the weekly availabilities of Art Smith and Teryl Austin. Smith touched on the team's red zone woes and how the team can improve in that area. He also touched on Justin Field's usage and not wanting him to become a gimmick they just toss out there. The team brought in Eric Rowe, who spent time last season with the team. They also continue to get healthier with only Alex Highsmith missing practice with an injury. This bodes well for Cory Trice Jr. to return against the Cleveland Browns. Teryl Austin spoke about all hands-on deck approach they've had defensively and being able to get contributions across the board. Something they'll need to continue on a short week, facing Nick Chubb and the Cleveland Browns. Let's go for another Steelers Afternoon Drive and discuss! Learn more about your ad choices.

Ever wondered if Disney's sit-down restaurants are truly worth the splurge? Join us as we uncover the highs and lows of dining at Disney, with an in-depth look at the STK Steakhouse experience. Known for its vibrant, club-like atmosphere complete with a DJ, STK is a hit for some, like our guest Brittany, but can be a bit too lively for those seeking a quieter evening. Explore with us as we discuss how personal preferences can make or break your dining experience, especially in a setting that could either be the highlight or the hiccup of your trip.Our culinary journey continues through the enchanting streets of Disney Springs, where we'll dissect popular eateries like Chef Art Smith's Homecoming and The Edison. Homecoming delights with its famous brunch and mouthwatering deviled eggs, offering a fantastic blend of flavor and price. Meanwhile, The Edison serves up a unique industrial vibe that's great for atmosphere but leaves us with mixed feelings about the food—candied bacon and all. Hear our candid takes on these venues, and perhaps save yourself from a disappointing meal.Wrap up your virtual tour as we visit Disney's Wilderness Lodge and more, showcasing unique dining experiences from Steakhouse 71's acclaimed Stack Burger to the playful and hearty fare at Whispering Canyon Cafe.

Nick Farabaugh on Fautanu's health and outlook, Spencer Anderson, Najee Harris/Jaylen Warren split, Roman Wilson's status, Art Smith's playbook. Steelers vs Falcons. NFL Awards picks.

Hodgepodge of Nothingness - Jamal Agnew, Ricky Pearsall, Joey Chesnu
NFL football is here. Does high school football start too early? It's Donny's favorite time of year. Should we give the secondary receiver options a chance? What happens if Pickens misses time? Looking at the Steelers captains for 2024, no surprises. Russ was an obvious choice. The opener vs the Falcons is sneaky tough, and Atlanta seems to be the consensus pick. AFC predictions: quite a contrast between Donny and Sean. Donny made a trek to Cleveland to see the Pirates over the weekend, and he saw the Rock and Roll HOF. He also found a way to cheat the system for beer at the game. Jon Ledyard joins to discuss the Steelers playoff outlook, if the Steelers got played by Aiyuk, Van Jefferson, his concerns with the OL, will anyone beat the Chiefs? NFC predictions: Donny and Sean are closer on this side of things, and our SB picks. College Football Minute - PSU looked great, Pitt put up points, Kenny Pickett got booed, Dabo isn't adapting. Comparing Russell Wilson to each of the opposing QBs he'll face this season. He surprisingly wins many of the matchups. Over/under NFL win totals. Rob Carter Jr. made maybe the best interception of all time on Saturday. Will it live on for years? Chris Collinsworth would love talking about it if he made it to the NFL someday.

Pittsburgh fans should remember last year's perfect pre-season and not jump to any conclusions after one pre-season game. But that's not Steelers Nation style! We'll break down the assumptions on Russ vs Justin, Art Smith's "risky" offense, the youngsters on the offensive line, and even Brandon Aiyuk. Plus, Mike Tomlin returns to The Pivot.

This week the chefs enjoyed two of Wisconsin's food traditions: meat raffles and fish boils. And if that wasn't enough, they had to do the latter with Art Smith and former Top Chef contestants among the judges. One competitor cuts themselves, while another gets sent home for an uncharacteristically unfocused dish. And then our hosts recap the two part LCK finale and reveal the winner.

Chef Art Smith is known across the country and around the world for his cooking, but he started out his life in the little-known, rural town of Jasper, Florida. “Seventh generation — and I'm the only family member on my father's side that actually left the state and I'm the only chef among all the police officers and people within the prison system, etc,” he said. Though he is the only chef, Smith is not the only member of his family to learn their way around a kitchen. “They could really cook and they all believed in the power of food,” he said. “You feed them, they come. You keep feeding them, they stay. You feed them a lot, you get what you want.” Smith went to school at Florida State University, though he admits he was not the best student and was flunking classes. However, he did take advantage of other opportunities at the school. “I discovered something called an internship and so it was like a free pass out of school,” he said. Smith wound up interning at the Greenbrier Resort in West Virginia. “Then Disney came a calling and that was a harder sell. It took me, I remember at least three or four auditions before I got it,” he said. Smith said the competition among his fellow interns at Disney was stiff. “I went there and there were all these culinary students. They all thought they were a little fabulous. And so the chef of the former Empress Lilly threw this baking contest,” he said. Smith said he was not a trained baker and learned by reading on his own. “I entered it, and I beat them,” he said. “So I was like, ‘I don't have to have a culinary education to beat other chefs.' So I go back to school, still not doing great and the dean says, ‘You know Art, you're a very nice guy. You're a good cook, but you're a terrible student.' He said, You know, the governor needs some help. So I want you to go over there and help him out.'” It was in the governor's mansion that Smith's career really started to flourish. He began to prepare meals, not just the governor, Bob Graham, and his wife, Adele Graham, but also for their guests — such as Mikhail Baryshnikov. “It was not the highest paying job in my life, but what it did do — once you work for a head of state, you have something called security clearance,” Smith said. This would pay dividends for the chef later in life, after he had made his way to Chicago. “A very special guest came to Chicago and they could not find a chef to cook for her,” Smith said. “Because Scotland Yard would not approve any of the chef's because they didn't have the security clearance.” This ultimately gave Smith the opportunity to cook for Princess Diana. “If I hadn't worked for the Grahams — if I hadn't worked at the Florida governor's mansion — I wouldn't have the security clearance and I wouldn't have been able to cook for her,” he said. On the latest episode of Florida Foodie, Smith shares more of how he came up in the culinary world and eventually found himself as the personal chef to Oprah Winfrey. He also talks about his restaurant at Disney Springs and some of his signature dishes. Please follow our Florida Foodie hosts on social media. You can find Candace Campos on Twitter and Facebook.

It's our 5th Anniversary this month. As part of the celebration, we will post flashback episodes all month long to celebrate and say thank you. If it were not for you, our Runcation Nation community, we would not have had this show for the last five years, had some of the most amazing experiences, and created lasting friendships in this community. Next up is an interview with the one and only Chef Art Smith! RUN This week we complete the RunDisney Virtual Race Series with the Haunted Mansion 5K! Yes, we talk about the weather, but we are also without the medals, so we can't wait until they arrive! It was a different summer race series because we couldn't travel up to Walt Disney World to do it, but for Aimee, working from home, it was a chance to get outside and get some fresh air ahead of the afternoon summer showers. For Dana, it was motivation to get his running done on a long work weekend. This week, we are connected to Walt Disney World and running unique races virtually because we had the honor and pleasure of talking with Chef Art Smith! He has two fantastic restaurants at Disney Springs, but he has also run marathons and took us on his storied running journey as we talked with him. Although he hasn't run a race at Walt Disney World, he was in the Magic Kingdom College Program, now known as the Walt Disney World College Program, in 1981. We recorded this interview in the third week of April 2020, when we would have been running the Rival Run Weekend at Walt Disney World. Chef Art helped us bring a little bit of Disney home! EAT Chef Art Smith has appeared on the Food Network on shows like Chopped and is famed for being Oprah Winfrey's personal chef. He has also authored books like Back to the Table and Kitchen Life: Real Food for Real Families and Back to the Family. Chef Art Smith is a two-time James Beard Foundation award winner with restaurants in Chicago, Atlanta, Orlando, Washington, D.C., and many more. He's been on television shows like Top Chef Masters and The Today Show. Talking with him about his excellent restaurants and amazing southern comfort food made our mouths water! DRINK Chef Art Smith has some great beverages at his restaurants. He has Moonshine at Homecomin' in Disney Springs, and we want to get to his Atlanta restaurant, Southern Art and Bourbon Bar, for some fantastic bourbon-based cocktails, too, when it reopens. It was great to get a little bit of the story and inspiration behind some of the signature cocktails at his restaurants. He is also generous in giving back to the community. He started Common Threads, an organization that teaches families the joy of healthy cooking. This summer, they even have a virtual summer camp for kids with activities they can do at home. Chef Art Smith was so generous with his time. We can't thank him enough for spending time with us and inspiring us with great stories from his running and life as an award-winning chef.
