This iconic spot in famous for its farm-to-fork cuisine that includes mouthwatering fried chicken, shrimp and grits, and one of best, hummingbird cake—all crafted with recipes inspired by Chef Art’s family table. And let me tell you, that cake holds a special place in my Disney travels. From the very first bite, its rich layers of pineapple, banana, and cream cheese frosting felt like a warm hug.
