Iron Chef Cat Cora to open restaurant at Walt Disney World

The restaurant, named Kouzzina, will replace Spoodles. Not surprisingly, the menu will be Mediterranean influenced. Cora grew up in a family of Greek restaurateurs.

Cora said that the new restaurant will feature “time-honored recipes passed down from my ancestors, as well as my favorite Greek and Mediterranean dishes that my family loves.”

I always enjoy watching Cora on “Iron Chef America,” I like her southern, easygoing style.

I’m eager to check out the new restaurant when it opens. Especially since Disney’s Boardwalk is one of my favorite places to spend an evening, outside of the parks. It’s a great place to catch Epcot’s Illuminations without paying for theme park admission.

Hopefully, Cora will use her own experience as a mom to make the restaurant truly family friendly.
