Celeb Chef Cat Cora To Open Restaurant At Disney

Kouzzina by Cat Cora Will Open Fall, 2009

ORLANDO (CBS4) ― The Food Network's Iron Chef Cat Cora is packing up her knives and heading to Walt Disney World.

Cora and Disney are joining forces to open Kouzzina by Cat Cora at Disney's BoardWalk Resort. The restaurant will feature a family friendly menu of Mediterranean-style cuisine that pays tribute to the chef's Greek roots.

"I am pleased to welcome Cat Cora and her engaging new concept for Kouzzina to the Walt Disney World Resort," said Jay Rasulo, chairman, Walt Disney Parks and Resorts in a statement. "This collaboration between Cat and Disney represents a significant step in our ongoing commitment to offer unique culinary experiences and choices for our guests."

The restaurant, which will be owned and operated by Disney, is scheduled to open by fall 2009 in the space currently occupied by Spoodles.

This is not the first time Cora and Disney have teamed up. In 2008, she worked with Disney to create a Disney Video on Demand series which showcased ways to help families develop more healthy eating habits.

"I'm extremely excited about this latest extension of my relationship with Disney," Cora said in a press release. "Together, we're going to develop a truly amazing contemporary Mediterranean restaurant."

Cora, a graduate of the Culinary Institute of America in New York, is Executive Chef for Bon Appetit magazine.
