Okay, it’s no secret that there is some GOOD EATING in Disney Springs. That probably has to do with many of the restaurants there that are owned by celebrity chefs.
From Morimoto Asia, which is owned by Iron Chef Masaharu Morimoto to Chicken Guy!, owned by Guy Fieri, to Homecomin’, owned by Art Smith, there’s no shortage of famous chefs who own restaurants in Disney Springs. Well, we just got a chance to chat with one of Disney Springs’ celebrity chefs, Maneet Chauhan, who owns eet by Maneet Chauhan, and she filled us in on the one thing you should order at her restaurant.
Okay, so we’re already BIG fans of eet by Maneet Chauhan — it’s seriously one of the most underrated restaurants in Disney World. However, after a media event where we got to have lunch with Chauhan, we’re even BIGGER fans of the dining spot. Of course, though, we had to ask what the most underrated item on the menu at the restaurant is in her expert opinion. Chauhan told us it’s the Street Style Puffed Rice Salad, made with crispy puffed rice, mango, strawberry, potato, cilantro, tamarind chutney, and mint chutney.
However, the most popular things on the menu are the Tandoori Chicken Poutine, the Chicken Tikka Naan Pizza, and the DIY Pani Puri.
Chauhan also spilled the tea on some of the other celebrity chefs. She said the two judges she’s most nervous to face in TV cooking competitions are Eric Ripert and Daniel Boulud. However, she also talked about how most of the celebrity chefs are just like a big family and even told us that Guy Fieri (who owns Chicken Guy! in Disney Springs) isn’t as cool as he seems — he’s even cooler. She spoke about how he treats everyone like family and always steps up if someone is facing a challenge like an illness to organize fundraisers.
Finally, Chauhan said the location in Disney Springs was a dream come true for her because she can bring the beauty of Indian food to mainstream America.
We really enjoyed our lunch with Maneet Chauhan and we’ll be returning to eet by Maneet Chauhan often and recommend you do so, too!
