We love any and all food related news from the Disney Parks! Now, we are here to let you know that the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin has promoted Chef Devin Queen to executive chef.
Devin Queen Named Executive Chef
Queen brings over 24 years of food and beverage experience with Marriott to his role. An amazing 22 of those years spent in restaurants and the banquets department at the Swan and Dolphin! He began his career at the Swan and Dolphin as a sous chef at Shula’s Steak House. Later, he became opening restaurant chef for Il Mulino restaurant before being appointed the hotel’s complex banquet chef.
Queen is no stranger to the food and beverage industry. He began working in restaurant kitchens at age 12 as a dishwasher. He studied at the Culinary Institute of America, (CIA) in New York, where he mastered the foundational principles of cooking that would shape his professional path.
As the new executive chef, Queen’s vision for the role is to focus on collaborating with his team, satisfying guests and giving mutual respect to his colleagues. “This is an enormous role where you want to succeed,” he said. “My goal is to succeed while staying grounded at the same time.”
When Queen is not at work, he enjoys teaching himself the guitar and spending time with his family and his two beloved dogs.
We cannot wait to see what Chef Devin Queen will cook up for us!
