Second Look at 2013 Epcot International Food & Wine Festival Merchandise
We are days away from Epcot’s International Food and Wine festival and Disney Parks Blog has finally revealed the name of their bumbling chef and given us another sneak peak at some more incredible merchandise available at this year’s festival!
According to Disney Parks Blog, “We named him Chauncy,” explained Randy Noble, the Disney Design Group artist responsible for this year’s merchandise artwork. “His ‘C-shaped’ wisp of hair under his hat inspired his name. I made him a French chef as it was a nice reminder of a trip my wife and I took to France. I turned to a boys’ name book and found Chauncy which seemed perfect!”
We showed you a few Chef Chauncy items in a previous article. He will also be included on new things like a banner and a coffee mug.
Randy also designed the front and back cover of the popular cookbook that contains a host of recipes inspired by things you can enjoy at the Festival (Aulani Sunrise on page 3 and Canadian Cheddar Cheese Soup on page 7!).
