Ever wondered what it would be like to eat like Oprah Winfrey? Well, you can come CLOSE to it in Disney World (kind of)!
Chef Art Smith’s Homecomin’
Chef Art Smith’s Homecomin’ is located in Disney Springs and is owned by — as you might guess — Chef Art Smith who has cooked for some big names like Oprah and President Barack Obama and competed on Iron Chef America and Chopped All Stars on The Food Network in the past. Here you’ll find all the southern comfort food you could ever want (including a moonshine bar!), but soon you won’t have to head to Disney World to try some of the chef’s signature dishes!
Last year, we learned that Chef Art Smith would be opening his first restaurant at the Orlando International Airport called Sunshine Diner in Summer 2022 and now he has revealed some details about the menu!

According to The Orlando Sentinel, Smith is looking to “bring back the American diner” but, not in the way that we might think when we hear the word “diner.” His plans involve more than just cheeseburgers, fries, and milkshakes!

Smith shared that the “modern-day diner” menu will feature a “full bar, fresh fruit and key lime pie” among many other things. He also noted that “Diners of old were more meatloaf, mashed potatoes, and roast beef, and hamburgers and patty melts and things like that. I love all that stuff, but we’re going to have a lot of healthier options, too. We’re going to have plant-based options.”

If all that sounds like airport-fare you’d like to enjoy, you won’t have to wait much longer! The diner is expected to open this summer in the new terminal at the Orlando International Airport. And, it won’t matter when your flight is — Sunshine Diner will be open 24 hours, seven days a week!

The Polite Pig will also be getting a second location in the terminal, so we’ll be keeping an eye out for more updates on these two locations! And, in the meantime, be sure to stay tuned to DFB for the latest Disney news!
