LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. — An all-new Hawaiian luau themed area will debut at the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Resort’s 2018 Food & Wine Classic on Oct. 26 – Oct. 28, taking guests on a culinary journey to the Pacific from the resort’s private beach.
The new area, named The Pig and The Poke, will feature Hawaiian décor along with several food favorites of the island state including:
— Traditional Earth Baked Kalua Pork with steamed white rice, barrel aged tamari and Napa cabbage
— Tuna Poke featuring Hawaiian yellowfin tuna, sushi rice, avocado relish and crispy fried wontons
— Finely Shaved Ice in a variety of tropical flavors: guava, pineapple, coconut cream, passion fruit, lychee, kiwi and mango
Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Resort Executive Chef Robert Ciborowski drew upon his years of living and working in Kapalua, Hawaii as inspiration for the dishes.
The Pig and The Poke will join the event’s returning themed areas which offer specialty cuisine in immersive atmospheres: Carnival Corner, Chinatown, Bubble Lounge and a Beer Garden. Access to The Pig and Poke is included in the standard ticket price.
