'The Chew' to tape 5 episodes at Disney's Epcot Food Festival

The Chew co-hosts Mario Batali, Michael Symon, Carla Hall, Clinton Kelly and Daphne Oz are heading to Orlando for the 20th annual Epcot International Food & Wine Festival at Walt Disney World.

ABC said five episodes of the cooking and lifestyle program will be taped Oct 7-9 to air on the network the week of Oct. 12-16. This will mark the first time the New York-based series records a week of full shows outside of its studio.

"We are beyond excited to be invited to celebrate such an important food event," Gordon
Elliott, the show's executive producer, said in a statement.

"What a great way to kick off our fifth season. We are planning a terrific series of shows for our viewers and live audience that will use every available piece of magic the park and our show can muster. Stay tuned!"
