American Kitchen Bar & Grill located inside B Resort & Spa in Disney Springs, hosted an event recently to showcase the Summer Menu as well as a sneak peek at the Magical Dining dishes created by the restaurant’s new Chef, Venoy Rogers.
Chef Venoy is a San Diego native who’s spent time at the W Hotel in his hometown, and also has spent time in Miami at Essensia at the Palms hotel, as well as with the B resorts brands in Miami. His approach to cooking is a new American fusion style that is still organic and fresh.
At American Kitchen, they follow a farm to table concept, which is an immediate focus from the moment you step through the door and are greeted with the big red living garden truck. They source local and sustainable products whenever possible, and use as much locally sourced ingredients from Florida farms as possible, which is great for Chef Venoy.
He is used to year round produce, and understands the expectations of customers looking for fine dining options that are are organic and locally sourced. Chef Venoy has become somewhat of a specialist in finding the freshest and most simple of ingredients that also deliver a wow factor.
Just like America, the menu here is a melting pot of multiple influences and techniques that feature a variety of traditional American dishes along with a “Small Bites” section for starters that features items like Miso Pork Buns, Korean Glazed Pork Ribs and Tempura Avocado.
The “Provisions” portion of the menu is where you can find entrees like the Free Range Chicken with Beer Carbonara, Cookhouse Meatballs and a 29 day dry aged Ribeye as well as market fish selections. The “Hand Helds” part of the menu gets off to a great start with The Local Wagyu Beef Burger that is topped with Florida Berkshire pork belly, homemade pickles, avocado, tomato-ricotta spread and blistered sweet pepper.
Inside American Kitchen, there is plenty of space and a variety of seating options. You can dine at communal tables or in an intimate booth with friends and family and take your taste buds down “Gin Lane” with American Kitchen’s revival on classic cocktails with a modern twist.
Signature Florida Corn Soup is a new addition to the menu in the “From The Garden” section that features charred corn, roasted poblano and cilantro.
Tempura Avocado is also new to the menu and is made with a tempura battered avocado that is topped with tomato chipotle jam and rests on a dollop of cilantro lime creme fraiche.
Shrimp and Grits are also on the Small Bites menu and feature shrimp, white cheddar, chorizo, and house ham.
The Whole Leaf Caesar salad comes with a housemade Parmesan-Garlic dressing, shaved Parmesan, sourdough croutons and a hard boiled egg.
Korean Glazed Pork Ribs are cooked in a sweet soy glaze and are served with Chinese carrot cabbage slaw. The Tempura Avocado, Whole Leaf Caesar, and these delicious Korean style ribs are available as an appetizer selection on American Kitchen’s menu for Magical Dining Month.
Cookhouse Meatballs & Creamy Parmesan Polenta come covered in a smoked tomato pomodoro sauce, house made ricotta & fried basil.
Chef Venoy and American Kitchen have a few items on the menu if you are a vegetarian, and the cool thing is, they even made it part of the Magical Dining menu. This Summer Squash & Sweet Pea Vegetable Rigati is a great option with zucchini purée, heirloom tomatoes, toasted pine nuts & shaved parmesan. This dish showcases Chef Venoy’s love for using fresh and organic ingredients to create simple but elegant tasting entrees.
