The new chef for Jiko - The Cooking Place, the featured restaurant at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge, has been announced. Chef Brian Piasecki has previously been head chef at another top Disney World restaurant, Le Cellier at Epcot.
Arguably one of the best restaurants in EPCOT, Le Cellier is very popular for their outstanding steaks and probably the best Cheese Soup you’ll find anywhere. Let’s see if Chef Brian can take his success to the next level at an already successful and popular JIKO in the Animal Kingdom Lodge. Read more HERE.

As I write this I’m about 3-days into my Nutrisystem diet and I’m a little hungry from the tiny dinner I just had and my tummy is screaming for some cheesy goodness. So if I can’t eat it I might as well write about the
Macaroni and Cheese from
Jiko in the
Animal Kingdom Lodge. Next time you’re there for dinner try out the Oak Grilled Filet Mignon which comes with a nice portion of this classic side dish. You’ll love it!
Here’s what you’ll need:
1/4 cup Butter
1/4 cup Flour
1 quart Milk (the full fat stuff!)
1 1/4 cups Quattro Fromage (which is basically a mixture of Asiago, Provolone, Fontina, and Gruyere cheeses)
2 pounds Elbow Macaroni
Prepare the macaroni according to the directions on the package. Make a roux with the flour and butter over low heat. Bring the milk to a simmer and work in the roux. Add cheese and salt to taste. Pour over the macaroni and heat through in a moderate oven.
If I can’t enjoy it because of my diet (at least for now) then I hope you do!
