Cat Cora Coming to Disney World's Boardwalk

The cat and mouse are going to play together!

Yep, celebrity chef Cat Cora is opening a restaurant at Walt Disney World's BoardWalk in fall 2009. I'm very excited about this because the restaurant will be replacing Spoodles, which has never been my taste. (Of course, I'd be less happy if I liked Spoodles, so my sympathies to those who do!)

So here's the scoop:

• Name: Kouzzina (Greek for "kitchen" and pronounced "koo-zee-nah")
• Family dining with "simple and sensational" meals
• Mediterranean-style in honor of the chef's Greek roots

This isn't Cat's first connection with Disney. She's done a series of videos that showcases ways for families to eat more healthy, and you may have seen her as a featured chef at Epcot's International Food and Wine Festival and Disneyland's California Food and Wine Festival.

This is one new restaurant at Disney World that will make Disney dining more fun and will definitely draw more guests to the BoardWalk. Can't wait for the official opening day!
