Circle of Parks Podcast: Talking all things Walt Disney World
Ever wondered if the magic of Disney extends to its nearby high-end hotels? Brittany and I spill the beans on our recent escapade at the Walt Disney World Dolphin Hotel, a place that marries the enchantment of Disney with the sophistication of the Marriott brand. We're peeling back the curtain on this strategically placed resort, diving into its history and how it's carved out a niche in the competitive landscape of accommodations around the happiest place on earth. And because no review is complete without the nitty-gritty, we're getting real about what the Dolphin does well and where it left us wanting more.Buckle up for a jaunt through Disney's transportation intricacies and the dining scene that could rival any foodie's dream, as we shine a light on gems like Todd English's Blue Zoo and Shula's Steakhouse. But it's not all about the glitz of high-end eateries; we're also tackling the subtler aspects of the Disney experience that were notably absent from our stay. From the symphony of Disney tunes that usually scores your vacation to the theming that sweeps you off your feet, we reflect on what it means to be just outside the Disney bubble. Join us for an episode that's part storytelling, part critique, and all about giving you the insider's edge for your next Disney adventure.Please check out our links below:Our Sponsor:www.mainstreettravelco.comEmail Us:circleofparks@gmail.comOur Website:www.circleofparks.comFacebook:www.facebook.com/circleofparksInstagram:www.instagram.com/circleofparksX:www.x.com/circleofparksSupport the show

Chef English believes Gin is ultimately a "connoisseur's drink" and that the unique flavors of Mexigin "tantalize the palate," crediting Mexigin with bringing a "modern take on classic cocktails." Mexigin is one of the brands at the forefront of a revolution in Gin, combining a variety of smooth notes and savory all-natural spices – with just enough juniper and elevated heat on the back end to create a darkly spicy experience - replacing everything from bourbon and tequila to vodka and rum.

Tiffani Faison Chef and Restaurateur of Big Heart HospitalitySweet Cheeks Q, Fool's Errand, Orfano, Dive Bar, Tenderoni's and Bubble Bath Chef and Restaurateur Tiffani Faison of Sweet Cheeks Q, Fool's Errand, Orfano, Dive Bar, Tenderoni's and Bubble Bath, has made a name for herself nationwide for her dynamic personality, culinary prowess and fierce work ethic. Under Big Heart Hospitality, her Boston based restaurant group, she creates restaurants that are warm, inspired and instantly loveable. Tiffani began her career working under world renowned chefs as Daniel Boulud, Alain Ducasse and Todd English. Early in her career she was cast on the inaugural season of Bravo's Top Chef, and placed as runner-up. From there she worked in prestigious kitchens in Nantucket, New Orleans, Los Angeles, and San Francisco before returning to Boston in 2010 to become Executive Chef of Southern Italian restaurant, Rocca Kitchen & Bar. After transforming Rocca into a critically acclaimed dining destination with a three star review from The Boston Globe, Tiffani set her sights on creating her own restaurant.She opened Sweet Cheeks Q in 2011 during the very early stages of Fenway's revitalization. Drawing inspiration from her love of Southern barbecue and extensive travels in Texas, Sweet Cheeks became an instant hit for its laidback Southern charm and addictive offerings: Heritage Pulled Pork, Brisket, Buttermilk Fried Chicken and Biscuits with Honey Butter. Shortly after opening, Sweet Cheeks garnered a three-star review from The Boston Globe, and it has been awarded “Boston's Best Barbecue” numerous times by Boston magazine. Nationally, Forbes deemed Sweet Cheeks' biscuits the “Best Biscuits in the World.” Most importantly, Tiffani created a restaurant that is both a neighborhood gem and a dining destination attracting guests from near and far who are simply seeking the city's best ‘cue. In December 2015, Tiffani expanded on her culinary skills, creativity and business savvy with a new restaurant: Tiger Mama, found on the same block as Sweet Cheeks in the Fenway. The seeds of Tiger Mama formed during Tiffani's travels to Southeast Asia and the restaurant set a new benchmark, both for her career and Boston's dining culture. In its April 19, 2016 review, The Boston Globe agreed, calling Tiger Mama “a spectacular restaurant” with dishes that you'll “take to the grave” and hospitality that “feels generous and natural.” In October 2021, Faison closed Tiger Mama to make way for an exciting new restaurant concept she's excited to debut in the same space sometime in 2022. In August 2018, Tiffani opened her third restaurant – an adult snack bar called Fool's Errand. With an irreverent menu and intimate atmosphere, Fool's Errand neighbors Sweet Cheeks Q and on Boylston Street in Boston's Fenway. The snack forward menu works with top quality, luxurious ingredients to deliver irreverent bites. Classic American cocktails, done beautifully and with care, join a rotating list of internationally sourced wines and aperitifs. In August 2019, Tiffani opened her fourth restaurant, Orfano, an Italian American restaurant, also located in the Fenway. Guided by the whimsy of “sorry Nonna,” Orfano is Tiffani's most upscale restaurant to date featuring next level Italian – delicious, elegant, humorous, and distinctly different than anything else in Boston. Food & Wine included Orfano as one of its “19 Biggest Restaurant Openings of 2019” while Boston Globe Magazine named Orfano as one of the “best new restaurants in Boston”. In its Feb 2020 review of the restaurant, Boston Magazine proclaimed Orfano “a triumphant modern take on Italian”. In March 2022, Tiffani will open three distinct concepts within High Street Place, the much anticipated food hall in downtown Boston: Dive Bar, a raw bar featuring a menu of both northern and southern Atlantic classics, Tenderoni's, an old school pizza and grinder shop, and Bubble Bath, a Champagne and wine bar that cheekily pairs its pours with gourmet hot dogs and popcorn. Marking her many culinary achievements, the James Beard Foundation nominated Tiffani as “Best Chef: Northeast” three years in a row (2018, 2019 & 2020) and Boston magazine awarded her “Best Chef: General Excellence” in its 2016 “Best of Boston” issue. In November 2016 and 2019, the Boston Business Journal named Tiffani to its “Power 50” list, celebrating individuals from Boston's multiple industries and professions who are making a difference in their business communities. In December 2019, The Boston Globe named Big Heart Hospitality as “Restaurateurs of the Year” andEater named Tiffani “Empire Builder of the Year.”Outside of the kitchen, Tiffani is currently a judge on Food Network's Chopped. After placing as runner-up on Top ChefSeason One, Faison later competed on Top Chef All-Stars and Top Chef Duels. She's also previously been a judge on Food Network's Chopped Grill Masters and Cooking Channel's Fire Masters. Tiffani has made frequent appearances on NBC's TODAY, CBS This Morning, PBS's Simply Ming and was the host of “Tiffani's Taste” and “Food Truck Fridays” on New England Cable News. She has been a contributing chef to numerous cookbooks and has been widely featured in such national outlets as People, SELF, Entertainment Weekly, Sports Illustrated and Food & Wine. She also currently serves on the Board of Directors for Women Chefs & Restaurateurs and also BAGLY (Boston Alliance of Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender Queer Youth). In September 2019, Tiffani was appointed to The Commonwealth of Massachusetts' Restaurant Promotion Commission for her commitment to the states restaurant business as a whole. Tiffani lives in Boston and is a tireless advocate of LGBTQ human rights.

Though he's been on the local restaurant scene since 2010, Chef Jeff Mattia didn't move to Louisiana until well into his culinary career. At that point, the Marine vet had already worked with some serious luminaries like celebrity chefs Tom Collichio and Todd English. While his career was centered in New Orleans for the first four years, Jeff and his family felt decidedly more at home across the lake in St. Tammany Parish. There, he found the slower pace of life shared much in common with his Hartford, Connecticut birthplace. When the opportunity to open his own Northshore eatery finally presented itself, Jeff was all in, opening Pyre Provisions in Covington in 2020. Based on his pandemic take out success with his barbeque menu, Jeff expanded in 2021 opening Pyre BBQ on the Mandeville Trace.

In 1969, SHEP GORDON founded Alive Enterprises, a personal management company and over the years, Gordon and Alive have been responsible for managing the careers of Alice Cooper, Groucho Marx, Raquel Welch, Anne Murray, Ben Vereen, Teddy Pendergrass, Stephanie Mills, Blondie, Manhattan Transfer, Burton Cummings, Yvonne Elliman, Midnight Star, George Clinton, Luther Vandross, Rick James, Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons, Kenny Loggins, Gipsy Kings , the Pointer Sisters, and many more, who have sold a total of over 100 million albums worldwide. Gordon and Alive set many precedents in the music industry including the first television production of an album (Alice Cooper’s “Welcome to My Nightmare”), the first long form rock video produced for home release (Blondie’s “Eat to the Beat”), and one of the first concert television series (“Rock and Roll Tonight”), all of which inspired a new generation of music video and theatrical rock concert productions. In the mid 70’s, Alive ventured into the movie business where its first production Ridley Scott’s “The Duellists” won the Best Debut Film award at the 1977 Cannes Film Festival. After several studio productions, including “Roadie” and “Endangered Species,” Gordon co-founded with Chris Blackwell and Island Records, Island Alive and Alive Films, for the production of independent feature films. Their commitment to artistic freedom attracted influential filmmakers and has been responsible for the production and/or distribution of the Academy Award-winning “Kiss of the Spider Woman,” Academy Award-nominated “Betty Blue,” “Marlene” and “El Norte,” Lindsay Anderson’s “The Whales of August,” Alan Rudolph’s “Choose Me” and “The Moderns,” John Carpenter’s “Prince of Darkness,” “They Live and Village of the Damned,” Wes Craven’s “People Under the Stairs,” Sam Shepard’s “Silent Tongue,” as well as 40 other movies. In 1975, Alive expanded into the restaurant industry with the opening of its first restaurant, Carlos ’n Charlies, which became a Hollywood institution for 20 years and then in the late 1980’s, Alive partnered with Robert DeNiro to open Tribeca Grill in New York City. Alive’s restaurant business is still active having opened approximately 40 restaurants thus far, the most current being a founding partnership in Jean-Georges’ Spice Market in New York City. In the ‘90’s, Gordon’s started focusing on food as entertainment and chefs as entertainers, founding Alive Culinary Resources, which was designed to bridge the gap between the public and the world’s most sought-after chefs. From its inception, his client roster read like a who’s who of the culinary world, including legendary French Chef Roger Vergé, Alice Waters, Wolfgang Puck, Charlie Trotter, Emeril Lagasse, Dean Fearing, Nobu, Todd English, Charlie Palmer, Larry Forgione, Paul Prudhomme, Jimmy Schmidt, Stephen Pyles, Robert del Grande, Daniel Boulud, Michel Richard, and 100 more of today’s most famous chefs. Gordon was inducted into the Hawaii Culinary Hall of Fame and has also won numerous other industry awards, including being named one of the 100 most influential people in Rolling Stone magazine.

ABOUT Winston Fisher:LinkedIn Profile: https://www.linkedin.com/in/winstonfisher/Twitter: https://twitter.com/Winston_Fisher1Website: https://area15.comSHOW INTRO:If you’ve been to Las Vegas you’d think that everything happens on the strip. Vegas is the gambling and entertainment meca of the US (maybe the world). With all of its glitz, showgirls, music and magic acts, hotels created to look like they were plucked from Venice or Paris or just some other planet, it would be easy to say that the strip is were its at.But if you care to venture off the strip, you could go to say Hover dam an engineering marvel or maybe to Area 51 and try to get a glimpse of alien craft or some other secret military activity. But then you cold go not so far to Area15 a new NEXT-Gen Experiential mall that opened this past fall. Trust me thought Area 15 and Area 51 are indeed curiosities worth seeing if you are into something new.Developer Winston Fisher and a team of highly creative designers, architects, chefs, retailers, and digital experience makers transformed a 200,000 square foot lot into a playground that melds great restaurants -including a venue by Todd English, digital experiences, retail, performance spaces, a bar under a 23 foot high Japanese maple tree with dazzling LED lights woven into the canopy. You can zip line through ceiling space overlooking the facility and book the venue for your own events. This place is magical and simply fun in a way that we have not often seen before.Massive art installations are reminiscent of Burning Man and there are shows with performance artists that rival the strip. This, you could say, is the re-making of the mall experience. At Area15, retail is not dead, as is often said, it is very much alive in a whole new way.Winston Fisher, the CEO of Area 15, joins us today to talk about a new approach to story telling in a space that is a cross over from traditional… anything. This just may be the beginning of the re-definition of place making for a cohort of emerging shoppers whose expectations about what branded relationships are all about have shifted.Welcome Winston…ABOUT DAVID KEPRON:Website: https://www.davidkepron.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/david-kepron-9a1582b/Instagram: davidkepron and NXTLVL_experience_designTwitter: @davidkepron

Chris Wink, director of content and cool stuff (that's the family version of his title) for AREA15, talks with James Shillinglaw of Insider Travel Report about this brand new entertainment, art and experiential complex located just off the Las Vegas Strip. Featuring the wild and the wacky, plus unique art, out-of-this-world experiences, virtual and “live” rides, offbeat shows, one-of-a-kind shopping and Todd English dining, AREA15 (not AREA51) should attract a new generation to Vegas—and should be a great venue for group experiences.

Subscribe and listen to this episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, GooglePlay, or iHeartRadio! Today, we are discussing your listener questions all about Walt Disney World! What are not-to-be-missed adult experiences at Walt Disney World? I discussed with Lou Mongello on WDW Radio Episode #557 the top 10 overlooked experiences for adults, inside and outside of Walt Disney World. Definitely check that out for great suggestions for adult experiences. One of my absolute favorite adult experiences at Walt Disney World is the Wanyama Safari. This wonderful experience at Animal Kingdom Lodge includes an intimate tour of the savannas and a delicious Jiko dinner. I wrote a detailed review of the Wanyama Safari here. Special dining is another great adult experience. I discuss dinner at EPCOT’s Takumi-Tei and Le Cellier. Backstage tours are a fun adult experience. There are many to choose from around all the Walt Disney World parks, each offering a different topic and view of behind-the-scenes activities. You can read about all the tour offerings here. What free activities can I do solo at Walt Disney World? Outside of the parks, there are several fun activities that I think are enjoyable to do solo. Animal Kingdom Lodge offers a culinary tour of the two Jambo House restaurants, Jiko and Boma. You can go to Disney Springs to take in the entertainment, do some window shopping, and enjoy some free samples. Take a boat ride from Disney Springs to resorts, or enjoy boat rides in other areas of Walt Disney World. Or go high on the Skyliner between EPCOT and Disney Hollywood Studios, and stop at a resort to explore. Inside the parks, enjoy the PlayDisney app for games and special effects throughout the parks. Play the interactive game, Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom. Enjoy free entertainment in all the parks. At EPCOT, enjoy free performances at the amphitheater outside the American Adventure pavilion. What Walt Disney World restaurants are good for large groups? I highly recommend making advanced dining reservations for large groups whenever possible. Some of my favorite restaurants for large groups include Trails End at Wilderness Lodge, Boma at the Animal Kingdom Lodge, Biergarten in EPCOT’s Germany pavilion, Ale & Compass at the Yacht Club, Boatwright’s Dining Hall at Port Orleans Riverside, ‘Ohana at the Polynesian Village Resort, The Boathouse at Disney Springs, Jaleo at Disney Springs, Il Mulino at Walt Disney World Swan Hotel, and Todd English’s bluezoo at Walt Disney World Dolphin Hotel. What quick service restaurants do you suggest? Dawn had a couple of questions about quick service restaurants, when she visits the parks in late August 2020. Her first question was which restaurant to go to near Spaceship Earth for a quick grab and go, before she and her family leave EPCOT and head to the Magic Kingdom. I recommended Sunshine Seasons in The Land pavilion, or to take the monorail to a resort before going to the Magic Kingdom. Dawn’s second question was about recommendations for the best quick service restaurants to use quick service dining plan credits. Recommendations included: Magic Kingdom: Be Our Guest or Columbia Harbour House. EPCOT: Sunshine Seasons, Pizza al Taglio (Italy), and Regal Eagle Smokehouse (American Adventure). Disney Hollywood Studios: ABC Commissary in hot weather, or Woody’s Lunch Box in cooler weather. Animal Kingdom: Flame Tree BBQ, Harambe Market, and Satu’li Canteen. Resorts: Contempo Cafe at the Contemporary Resort, Landscape of Flavors at Art of Animation Resort, The Mara at Animal Kingdom Lodge, Pepper Market at Coronado Springs, and Geyser Point at Wilderness Lodge. Disney Springs: D-Luxe Burger, Daily Poutine. Thank you for listening! I hope you found these listener questions and answers helpful for your future Disney trips or for some fun Disney daydreaming.

Chef Clay Conley has worked his way around the kitchen since he started washing dishes as a teenager. Raised on 30 acres in rural Maine, in a 19th century home heated only by wood fire, Conley’s childhood was defined by chopping wood, tending to farm animals and a garden, and planting a 1000-tree orchard, which instilled his love of fresh, seasonal ingredients and the full-flavored, wood fired dishes that have become his signature as a chef.Conley moved to Boston after college to work for Todd English, ultimately serving as the celebrity chef’s Director of Culinary Operations, overseeing 18 restaurants around the world. Upon his return to South Florida, Conley received accolades for his tenure as Executive Chef at Azul in the Mandarin Oriental Miami before relocating to Palm Beach to open his first chef-helmed venture –Buccan – in 2011. The modern American restaurant, which continues to be one of the island’s toughest reservations, focuses on complex yet balanced small plates, and is credited with revolutionizing the Palm Beach dining scene. Chef-driven cuisine in a sophisticated, relaxed atmosphere was a new phenomenon on the tony island, and Conley followed Buccan’s success with Imoto (“little sister”), a Japanese/Asian concept next door inspired by his time living in Tokyo. In 2016, Conley opened Grato, a neighborhood Italian concept West Palm Beach, which features a wood-burning oven, grill and rotisserie. He is currently working on a new venture, Chateau Miami, to open winter 2020.Five-time nominee for a James Beard Award as a “Best Chef in America: South,” Conley and his restaurants have been recognized in national and international publications including New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Travel + Leisure, NY Post, Robb Report, Conde Nast Traveler, Miami Herald, Complot, Boston Globe, Fodor’s and USA Today. Buccan has been praised by Forbes as one of the best restaurants in Palm Beach and has received “Best Restaurant” honors from all area publications. Clay has also cooked on Emeril’s Florida, featured on both the Food Network and Cooking Channel, PBS’s The Victory Garden, The Today Show and Fox and Friends.---------------------------------------Chef Zach Bell, a four-time James Beard Award finalist for Best Chef: South, spent his formative years in New York working alongside Chef Andrew Carmellini with culinary legend Daniel Boulud. A Florida native, Bell returned to Palm Beach in 2003 to open Boulud’s first venture outside New York City, the award-winning Café Boulud, and later opened Boulud’s Miami restaurant. In 2011, Bell joined Delray Beach’s exclusive Addison Reserve Country Club, the #7th ranked private club in America, as Executive Chef. At Addison Reserve, Bell oversaw seven separate dining venues, as well as all private dining and special events for the club.In 2019, Bell joined friend and colleague Chef Clay Conley and his acclaimed Palm Beach County-based restaurant group to oversee culinary operations for Buccan, Grato, Imoto and the Buccan Sandwich Shop. Alongside his extensive fine dining experience, Bell boasts unparalleled knowledge of restaurant operations – from developing comprehensive training programs to overseeing all aspects of day-to-day management. Bell’s passion for recognizing and training talented chefs began while studying at Johnson & Wales and working in their Career Development Office. He brings this unique and highly valued expertise to the company as they expand and explore new opportunities for growth.

Tiffani Faison compares working in restaurant kitchens to playing “the weirdest sport on earth”. If the popular and critical success of her ever-expanding Big Heart Hospitality Group is any indication, it's fair to say she's winning. With the opening of Sweet Cheeks in 2011 and Tiger Mama in 2015, followed by the bar Fool's Errand in 2018 and the upscale Italian-American spot Orfano in 2019, she's played a major role in transforming the Fenway neighborhood into a dining destination. Faison didn't grow up tugging on a grandmother's apron strings, she got a peek at the chaos of kitchen life working as a busser for Todd English, and felt an inexplicable tug to jump into the game. We talk about getting crushed learning to cook on the line, how she ended up in sports bar-filled Fenway, and why declining to open her “Look at me I'm a Big Deal Chef,” restaurant was the best decision ever.
“I had a 4 year old and when he was old enough to ask what I did all I could say was ‘I go to work.’ Something was missing… I really started believing in myself with the yoga and getting fit and then it just kind of happened.” On this week’s episode of the Eat Green Make Green Podcast, I sit down with the amazing Andris Lagsdin. Andris is the founder of Baking Steel, a Boston based company that makes what is widely considered the best consumer cooking surface on the market. How do you make that high heat commercial grade Neapolitan pizza at home? Baking Steel… We talk about Andris’s background in the restaurant industry working with the likes of Todd English, his many years at his family steel plant, how a series of books sparked his idea for Baking Steel, how he was able to apply the resources of his family business to his passion for food, how he chose to pursue Baking Steel despite the doubts of others, how focusing on his health and wellness (specifically dropping booze, eating plants, exercise, meditation) has helped give him the confidence to pursue his dreams, the importance of social media, and so much more. Andris is such a great dude and it makes me smile when I meet someone who truly loves what they do everyday. Also, Baking Steel is an insane product! As a pizza snob, I assure you it is worth every penny.

It’s more than just fundraising!

Guests include Celebrity Chef Tiffani Faison (Sweet Cheeks Q, Tiger Mama), Adam Amontea (Cafco), Lacey Berrien and David Miller (Boston Society), and Emily Pochman (Share Our Strength). In its 30th year, the event features 60 chefs from Boston-area restaurants and raises more than $210,000 for No Kid Hungry. “One of my favorite feelings in the world is to see people come together to enjoy a meal in a space that I got to design,” says Nayak. Faison talks about her background and commitment to social justice and LGBTQ rights. “My job is to make it easier for the next generation, so… they can just give their art, their spirit and their love to the world without having to consider their safety,” she says. Amontea, who is one of the event sponsors, describes his company’s ties to the culinary world and long-standing commitment to No Kid Hungry. Berrien and Miller share their thoughts on the work they are doing to get the next generation of philanthropists involved. Billy and Taniya also get a surprise visit from Erik and Farrah - a first-grade teacher in the Boston public school system – newlyweds who purchased 125 tickets to the event for their wedding guests because they feel so strongly about the cause of child hunger. “I look at my students and there’s such an impact…when they’re fed, they’re able to learn,” says the bride in her wedding dress.

Gérard is successful winemaker in Languedoc, a larger-than-life character with a strong business story to tell. At 52, he has spent the past 42 years making wine. He started helping out on his father’s estates, before taking over the family business when his dad suddenly, tragically passed away. The young Bertrand was filling some very big shoes. The elder was beloved in the region and known as a pioneer in the region (even though his estate was a small one). The first to put wines in barrels in the 70s, he had built a reputation for creating and marketing Super Premium wines during a time when Languedoc -- the world's largest wine-making region -- was dismissed as producing mediocre mass market wines. It’s only been in the past few decades that Languedoc sloughed off this stigma and started to become synonymous with “good value” wines; high quality vintages at reasonable prices. Bertrand is one of the reasons for this change in perception. Like his father, he is a pioneer. After a life-changing experience with homeopathy he went deep into natural sciences, an exploration that led him to the works of Rudolf Steiner, the father of biodynamic farming. Convinced of the ethos and sense of the technique, he experimented and became a zealous convert. 14 of his estates are now certified biodynamic. So, employing the rigorous rules governing the holistic, sustainable philosophy, his winemaking process follows lunar and star charts and esoteric pagan rituals like burying a manure-filled cow horn. While some dismiss the technique as New Age hocus pocus, what's undeniable is the farmer’s heightened awareness of the soil's health and a meaningful link to nature not defined by yield. Evangelical about spreading the gospel, he’s inspired droves of winemakers to do the same and created ways to make it more economical. As the market for organic and biodynamic wines is steadily growing in the US, he should have already been at the forefront of the surge as his farming and wines are impeccable.

They received a loan from Renaissance Economic Development Corporation. "It's a blessing in disguise not to know everything that will go wrong. Sometimes it's better to jump in and learn on the fly." Vetting vendors, such as publicists and general contractors, by calling references is not necessarily enough. "Improvisation is a life skill." "Don't cheap out on hiring." "CraigsList is a lot like Loehmann's: you really have to look, but at the end of the day, you find something spectacular." The press always needs stories; use "Help a Reporter Out (HARO)."

On today's episode of THE FOOD SEEN, Louis DiBiccari grew up in a suburb of Boston, cooking Sunday suppers as all good Italians do. Upon eating in campus dining halls during college, Louis realized how spoiled he was by his family's scratch cooking, so he taught himself how to cook. His signature dish: calzones. He then went to culinary school, eventually working at the Millennium Bostonian Hotel, which launched the careers of such Beantown chef legends as Lydia Shire, Jasper White, Jody Adams, and Todd English. Louis himself became a personality in town, with his Iron Chef inspired “Chef Louie Nights”, where guests would vote on dinner themes and ingredients to be revealed the morning of, in preparation for 5-course meal that night. But maybe even more so than food, it was the artists in his life, starting with his Uncle Adio, a master sculptor, that added another creative POV. In 2013, Louis opened Tavern Road in the Fort Point area, which he lived in during early aughts, and was surrounded by artist studios. This is why he began CREATE BOSTON, an annual event that brings together “6 artists, 6 chefs, 1 canvas” to bridge gap between visual and culinary arts, of which he still cooks at it's epicenter. This program was brought to you by Edwards Ham. “Chefs work with one side of their brain and artists work with a similar side…when you put them together they both start to think differently.” [21:00] “These guys are ready to push envelopes [Artists working with chefs]” [23:00] — Louis DiBiccari on The Food Seen

Live Restaurant Review of Todd English's BlueZoo Hello and welcome to The WDW Radio Show - Your Walt Disney World Information Station. I am your host, Lou Mongello, and this is show #204 for the week of January 9, 2011. An important part of the Walt Disney World experience for me and many other people is enjoying the wide variety of dining options that are available. And while there are many tried and true favorites, there is also a large number of locations that are very much overlooked. This week, we explore what I believe is one of those restaurants. Located in the Walt Disney World Dolphin, Celebrity Chef Todd English’s BlueZoo offers fresh seafood in a spectacular setting where both the food and décor are works of art. We’ll do a live restaurant review of BlueZoo and let you share in our overall dining experience, as we also chat with our server, the General Manager, Sommelier, and Executive Chef. I’ll have a few announcements, and then play some of your voicemails at the end of the show, so sit back, relax, and enjoy this week's episode of the WDW Radio Show. You can email the show at lou@wdwradio.com or call the voicemail TOLL FREE at 888-703-2171.
