- My name's Amy Benson
and I'm a chef with the Disneyland Resort.
My little sister and
I used to play kitchen
and make little sandwiches and play diner.
We always were intrigued by the kitchen.
I started at the Grand Californian Hotel.
Five years later became a chef.
And I've been with the
company for 19 years
so I just adapted my style
from everyone that I've worked with.
I oversee a team of chefs
for Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge.
We work with our partners in Florida
who actually develop the menu.
I feel that the food in
Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge
is very exciting.
The unique storytelling,
it's all over the park,
but here, it's like you're
completely immersed in the area.
Our flavors are very
much like Middle Eastern.
There's a little bit of Korean influence,
traditional American style.
Our food is really out of this world.
The dishes were all inspired
by your favorite Star Wars storytelling.
So right when you see the food,
you'll be able to identify
where it came from.
It's a lot of familiar flavors.
My favorite dish is the
Felucian Garden Spread.
It's a vegan entree going to
appeal to a lot of our guests.
Anything Disney is high
quality, high standards.
I wanna be a part of a company
that has those same expectations.
It's a really great company to work for.
There's a ton of opportunity here.
I've been a product of that.
