Mario Batali, Michael Symon, Carla Hall, Daphne Oz, and Clinton Kelly will be taping five episodes of “The Chew” to air at 1 pm ET, Oct. 12 – 16, 2015. The shows will be taped in front of a live studio audience, but you will need tickets to attend.

In addition to the show, there will be two marketplaces that will feature “The Chew”. This year the festival will spill over into Future World with a new section – Next Easts. Next Eats will feature three dishes from “The Chew” in a new booth – Sustainable Chew Marketplace. Guests can enjoy Savory Pork Spareribs with Cheesy Mascarpone Grits; Ricotta and Zucchini Ravioli with Tomato Sauce; and Vanilla Panna Cotta with Fresh Figs and Pistachio Brittle. One of the coolest things about this marketplace, the herbs and veggies from Living with the Land will be used in the dishes.  Guests will learn about how food is grown and why sustainability foods are important to the land.

Is it just me, or do you think of the “Listen to the Land” song from the attraction in your head now? Let’s listen to the land we all love, nature’s plan will shine above, listen to the land, listen to the land. I’m going to be singing it the rest of the day. 🙂

Another part of Next Eats will be the Chew Lab. “The Chew” crew will be teaming up with the Disney chefs to creating an innovative marketplace showcasing food-science labs and the trendiest culinary tech methods in restaurants today. We’re excited to see this! Maybe they’ll use some dry ice, smoking gun, or sous vide… we don’t know, but can’t wait to see what it will be.

The 20th annual Epcot Food and Wine Festival will be taking place, Sep. 25 – Nov. 16, 2015. For information on how to get tickets, visit thechew.com.

We’re less than three months away and just a few weeks from the typical booking dates. We want to know what are YOUR most excited about?

    Looking forward to The Chew on Thursday 11:00 and Friday @ 8:00. We will be celebrating our 43rd Wedding Anniversary. Do we need to purchase to the Epcot Food & Wine Classic event? I will need to acquire them ahead of time for the two of us. just tell me how and where.
    Thank you.

      Congratulations on your anniversary! You don’t need to purchase separate tickets for the Epcot Food and Wine Festival, but you do need to have Epcot theme park admission. You can purchase park admission tickets via your travel agent, Disney’s website or at the park.
