WDW Radio # 782 - My Conversation With Chef Art Smith from Homecomin' in Disney Springs Sometimes, interviews don't always go as planned... and that's not necessarily a bad thing, as is the case this week. I recently sat down with renowned chef (and all-around nice guy) Art Smith, of Homecomin' in Disney Springs fame. We met at the restaurant to talk about new menu items, Florida Fresh, and more... but the conversation wonderfully turned to so much more. So this week, I invite you to pull up a chair, grab some hush puppies and deviled eggs (maybe a little moonshine if you're so inclined), and chat with me and the delightful Chef Art Smith. - What is your favorite items on the menu at Chef Art Smith’s Homecomin’? If you like what you hear, please share the show and tell a friend. So sit back, relax, and enjoy this week's episode of the WDW Radio Show. ----------------------------------  WDWRadio.com - Visit the site and blog WDWRadio.com/Clubhouse - Join the community and conversation on Facebook WDWRadioNATION - Get monthly rewards, and help support the show WDWRadioLIVE.com - Watch and chat LIVE Wednesdays at 7:30pm ET WDWRadio.com/Podcasts - Show notes, past episodes, links, and photos WDWRadio.com/Events - WDW Radio Disney meets, events, cruises, and more!
