Mina and English Team Up for Exclusive Disney Culinary Event

Chefs Michael Mina and Todd English are teaming up for a one-night-only culinary event at Walt Disney World's Swan and Dolphin Food & Wine Classic. The exclusive tasting experience, limited to a small number of guests, will feature 10 courses created by the two chefs, along with beverage pairings from around the world.

The event, taking place on November 21, 2026, is part of the annual food and wine festival that transforms the resort's causeway into an outdoor food and wine festival. Mina and English will each contribute five courses to the menu, reflecting their culinary backgrounds and influences.

Mina's dishes include marinated big-eye tuna with crispy falafel, chilled lobster and mango salad, Aleppo grilled poussin, triple-seared Wagyu striploin, and a basbousa and passionfruit cheesecake. English will bring his New England and coastal influences to the table with brown butter miso-poached lobster, pan-seared Nantucket scallops, house-made cacio pepe with duckling confit, roasted Chilean sea bass, and a roasted red beet chocolate gateau.

The event is not just about the food; Mina and English will interact with guests throughout the tasting, sharing stories about their backgrounds, travels, culinary philosophies, and experiences that have shaped their careers. Guests will also get to see culinary demonstrations from the chefs along the way.
