Editor's Note — David Allan, editorial director for Features at CNN, has been a vegetarian for more than 25 years and Star Wars fan for 40 years. This is the first time those two priorities have intersected. The views expressed here about Disney's plant-based options are his own.The self-described"happiest place on Earth" is getting increasingly happier for animals, and for those who are increasingly removing those animals from their diet.
Like many of Disney's food offerings, some of the vegan dishes are themed to match their location. This hummus dish served at Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge is called a "Felucian Garden Spread," a reference to a planet covered in overgrown plants in the Star Wars universe.Whatever you want to call it, it's a smart move to capitalize on a trend that's already impacting the restaurant and hospitality industry across the country.
Generally,"chefs aren't trained that way," said Gary Jones, a culinary dietary specialist at Walt Disney World."A lot of us are going back and relearning how to extract the most flavor from plant-based choices."The most impressive of the offerings was the seafood platter on the menu at the Toledo restaurant located at Coronado Springs Resort.
The rustic-looking PizzeRizzo in Hollywood Studios serves a thick and juicy spicy Italian"sausage" sub, the same cost as their meatball sub. The African themed Mara restaurant in the Animal Kingdom Lodge has a Marrakesh Falafel Platter served with soy yogurt. Epcot's Rose & Crown Dining Room, for example, has a vegan version of the traditional UK breakfast of bangers and mash available upon request.
And I made a hearty dinner of the Southwest Bowl at the Fairfax Fare stand in Hollywood Studios. The bowl is a well crafted blend of chili, corn and vegan cheese, topped with non-dairy ranch dressing and crunchy tortilla chips. It costs the same as their comparable bowl with chicken.
