And just like that, our championship matchup is set!!

After five rounds of hard-fought battles, it all comes down to this! We’re down to the last two restaurants standing in our DFB Table Service Throw Down!
While we wait for Governor Ron DeSantis to release his re-opening Florida outline (which he is expected to announce today) Disney World has started sending out another round of emails to more guests (last week, the company sent out emails for those with reservations through May 16th), informing them the parks will be closed until further notice.

These notifications are being sent out to guests who had bookings during the week of May 17th through 23rd, 2020.
Is there anything about Homecomin’s super adorbs Chef Art Smith not to LOVE???
Chef Art Smith at Homecomin’
This well-known Southerner has been keeping us well-fed and entertained with his at-home cooking classes — we’ve already mastered his Chicken and Dumplings and some of his favorite Fried Chicken Dishes! And today, Chef Art Smith will be showing us how to make two of his most-famous Shrimp and Grits recipes!
There are a lot of different types of food to choose from at Disney World, but choosing what your tastebuds are in the mood for is only half the battle!
We’re ALWAYS in the Mood For Bread Service at Sanaa!
That’s because while many foods at Disney World are delicious, they’re not all created equal!
We gotta admit, we haven’t been sleeping as much lately because we were worried about so many of our favorite Disney World dining spots facing off against each other! So far, rounds one, two, and three have kept us up nervously gnawing our pillows!

And last night was an especially rough one, but now that we’ve tallied up the votes for round four, we can finally show you which restaurants will be advancing into the semi-finals of our official DFB Table Service Throw Down!
It’s life’s little indulgences that are helping us bide our time these days, and if one of your favorite places to dine at Disney World is STK Orlando, we might know of a little something that might interest you!

The restaurant chain is now selling its choice and prime cuts of beef online and you can have them shipped directly to you!
Happy Monday, y’all! While we hope you had a relaxing weekend, it’s time to get down to some official Disney Food Blog business!
Chopped Pork Barbecue at Homecomin’
That’s right! As you may recall, we’ve still got some scores to settle in our Table Service Throw Down! In fact, we’re already down to our final eight Disney World restaurants!
Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue at Walt Disney World’s Fort Wilderness Resort and Campground has been entertaining diners for almost 45 years, and we’ve certainly enjoyed our share of shows by the Pioneer Hall Players. (Read our last review of Hoop-Dee-Doo here!)
But while Hoop-Dee-Doo is known for its on-stage antics and overall energy, the food has not taken center stage. Not even close. The fare includes traditional crowd-pleasers like fried chicken, ribs, mashed potatoes, and cornbread, but this is basically banquet food churned out in what feels like a conveyor belt production.
So why would I still say Hoop-Dee-Doo is something everyone should try at least once? Because the show is entertaining enough to justify enduring some mediocre food. And you’re really paying for that entertainment, not for the grub. (Although, of course, we see high-priced mediocre foods in plenty of restaurants that don’t have shows, soooo… .)
Pioneer Hall — Home of Hoop-Dee-Doo Revue
I kept my recent ADR for Hoop-Dee-Doo because of the show and because I like to give Walt Disney World restaurants a second (and a third and an infinite) try. Has the food improved? Is the show still compelling? Let’s see how they’re Hoop-Dee-Doin’ it.
