Sam Eagle to be the host of the Regal Eagle Smokehouse in EPCOT

Regal Eagle Smokehouse. A new fast-casual restaurant opening soon at The American Adventure pavilion in EPCOT. Disney has shared new details to on what is sure to become a guest favorite foodie spot in World Showcase – including new merchandise!

The restaurant takes its name from the venerable Sam Eagle, the Muppet known for his patriotism and strict sense of duty and honor. He takes all things seriously… and barbecue is certainly one of those things.

Regnal Eagle Smokehouse will be the site for “Sam’s Centennial Cook-Off: A Salute to All Cook-Offs but Mostly Barbecue.” Guests will be the beneficiaries of this contest – described as “a competition fit for all patriots and pit masters” – as it brings in a variety of classic backyard barbecue selections from across the country to vie for Sams Top Pick!

The new eatery, currently under construction, will open this winter in the American Adventure pavilion.
