Executive chef talks Harry Potter theme park food
 

The Theme Park Insider has a new interview with Steve Jayson, Universal Orlando's executive chef who oversees all the resort's food operations. He talks briefly about the plans for the food at the Harry Potter section of the park.

The theme park is scheduled to open in late 2009.

Thanks to Blog Hogwarts for the tip!

Mmmm that sounds great! I always wanted to try what they eat at Hogwarts, especially some butterbeer. :lol:

i want fire whisky really.

if they have haggis, il probably be sick...ggrrrr

I would love to help them cuz i have recipies for cockroarch clusters, fizzing wizzbees, butterbeer and some more

OMG, that's sounds awesome!!

I'm sooooo excited! I live about 45 minutes from Orlando. I'm getting season passes when it opens.

oooooooh that's awsome! :D
I hope I can go there

I really want to try butterbeer! I'm really excited!

Well, we shall see what the food will be like. I only hope they have a decent kids' menu - pumpkin juice vs. coca cola anyday....

Lol. I will have to go there just to try all of the food and drinks.

What a great tease. Tempting us with the wonderfully tasty treats of Hogwarts and Harry's world. :D

It sounds like it's going to be really cool!

:hermy2: wow...it'd be soo cool..if they actually could have the leaky-cauldron or the 3 broomsticks and hogshead etc..lol and then serve those food/drinks!:gryff:

I want to go! Waa.. Why couldn't it be in England at least?!

i wanna go! =]

Yay! Cant wait for butterbeer! lol!

oh my gosh! that's so exciting! i can't wait for pumpkin juice! =D

ahhhhhh.... i really cant wait until the theme park is open im going to america as soon as its open :D

ive got recipes for butterbeer and firewhisky i ot them of mugglenet i think hmm not sure .... but anyhoo still cant wait =]

my sentiments exactly :lol:

Lol, that's pretty creative. I didn't think they'd incorporate Hogwarts' foods into the park as well :D

Omg, wow. Real butterbeer? Sounds awesome. XD

heehee. Sounds pretty cool! ^_^

Excellent!!!!

Thats great... I sooooo want to go there!!!!

Ahhhh! Butterbeer!?!!??!?!!?!!!!???!!! YAY! I found the recipe on some website and it tasted AWFUL, but I'm almost 100% sure I made it wrong! I can't wait for a good version of butterbeer!

And what about a nice drink selection for us adults, eh? Some Draught of the Living Death, Confusing Concoction, Babbling Beverage, Veritaserum, Polyjuice :mwaha:

we're all probably gonna need to show some ID for firewhiskey :D

i think JKR said something about it tasting like butterscotch or something. in any case she didnt sound to thrilled about it either.

I want to try some butterbeer :D I wonder if they'll have firewhiskey as well :lol:

wow thats so awsome i cant wait for it to open

wow sounds awesome ! i wanna try buterbeer and chocolate frogs !

Which begs the question, how do you keep things authentic when the law differs in regards to alcohol, on either side of the Atlantic.

I feel your pain :lol: but alas our climate is too realistic for them :lol:

That's awesome. I can't wait for it to open.

yumm i wonder if they will have all the candys and other foods?

Awesome! I want some butterbeer!

my guess is that they will be following the laws in Florida. it may be an HP theme park, but when it comes to food, its essentially a restaurant that must obtain permits from the state government.

I know. I'm just pointing out that it won't be as authentic as they're aiming for, what with the laws, the climate, the undoubtedly shoddy accents etc...

butterbear!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
