Two of our members, Rene & Mia Gosselin had lunch at Chef Art Smith’s Homecoming, newly opened in Disney Springs. Here are their thoughts & photos:
Mia and I tried out Homecoming in Disney Springs today. It is based on true Florida cooking and food. At all times, at least 51% of the products served will be from Florida. Their Resort drinks are served without straws so you get the added sense of smell from the fresh ingredients. Mia had The Local which had fresh coconut and pineapple. She said the added aroma made a difference and made it more enjoyable. We started off with Fried Green Tomatoes that were among the best I have had. Mia had the Fried chicken, and substituted the usual 3 pieces which are airline, thigh and drumstick for 3 thighs. They were boneless and as delicious as it looks. I had the Shrimp and Grits. It was very good, but different than any I have previously tried. It was more of a smoky tomato based sauce with a little bit of spicy heat as opposed to the normal cream based sauce. The biscuits were tasty, but dry, which is normal for biscuits. We finished off lunch with Hummingbird Cake that was EXCELLENT! They give discounts for TIW, AP, and DVC, and will start taking reservations on 7-21. We arrived right at 11 when they opened. When we left there were about 20 or so people waiting to be seated. The Staff and Mgmt. were all very nice and helpful. Definitely would go again.
